  1. Wow! If this isn't telling people to be misdirected so they can wiggle out of being the focus on peoples attention... I do not know what is. Why discourage public discussions? Why tell people to look at other things and not this. Clearly the intent would be so they can be forgotten and the case can be done any way they want it to minimize damage to the RTP.
  2. Normally, I do not believe any NIDA polls. But it seems plausible that Pita would still be the lead runner for PM on peoples minds. The gov tried to suppress him with their stupid accusations about a station he still owned shares in. It did however manage to prevent his being able to be made the PM. So they hit the right spot there. Now with them trying to disband his party so he still won't be able to be PM may be successful as well. When are the people going to speak out. I am wondering why COVID has made the people so passive now about things. Perhaps this is why the focus on bad foreigners has become prevalent as well. If netizens are focused on something else then they will be passive towards this.
  3. be careful not to click like on anything he posts. It may come back and bite you in the a--. Don't share anything from his page either.
  4. Am surprised that the anti corruption police have not sequestered financial records of all those that were affiliated with the Thaksin prison hospital fiasco to see if any of them received some form of payment to continually say Thaksin was deathly ill and unable to be in a real prison. I guess it is not something they would want to go public with. The list must go pretty high up the chain of command if not all the way up to the top.
  5. So rather than making it an official meeting of the Phue Thai party leaders. He meets them one on one to tell them what to do. I guess Thais will believe he is not really officiating anything by meeting them one by one. So he is not really still leading them. haha.. Just meeting old friends at an official Phue Thai party leader meeting. He sure looks like he can walk and talk normally. I still fail to see why others do not protest his treatment when he was supposedly in prison so sick that he could not sit in a jail cell.
  6. Hey honey, Where do you want to go for the holiday? I know, lets go to Chiang Mai and spend our holiday breathing the worst air in the world and trying to make it better shooting water in the air. Good idea honey. We can return from holiday and not need to work. We can go directly to the hospital here and have out lungs flushed with oxygen.
  7. And your one-sided opinion may sit well with other countries. But in Thailand rape is used quite often by women who did not get what they wanted after they had the sex. Payment or relationship or perhaps just angry at the man. Proof of rape is not always needed to get someone into trouble for this. I do not say this is the case in this particular instance. But One never really knows unless there is really proof to see and convict. A young girl and a rich business man hmm... Could be rape or maybe she found out he had another woman also. Let's only hope justice is served and the man becomes known as playing many women or of being a real rapist.
  8. I'm confused by their assumptions. The construction is the reason they are using for his cause of death? I do not see any construction in the photos or videos that show the location where he crawled under and died.
  9. They are waiting for the planes to be grounded before really acting on this. Only a great loss of tourism income caused by lack of flights will get them to take drastic action.
  10. Wow! Is this a demotion or promotion. Seems like being placed in a position working directly with the Prime Ministers office would be considered a promotion. The influence gained by being in that office would be overwhelming. It also seems to be the worst place to put a bad cop caught breaking the laws.
  11. Perhaps it was not the weather... It may be that foreigner who got the tattoo while drunk saying he had sex with a ladyboy.. Worried of the ramifications of his arrival back home haha.
  12. Biden fans will love this. So easy to make it into more than it is. Already the news has twisted it to mean all illegals entering the country. Rather than what it most likely means is all those that commited crimes in the US already. It was only recently that some illegals did some very bad crimes that most would place them in a not normal person category. Have your fun twisting this. I think it will not affect those who actually have brains and sees the underlying tone for what it is. Trump will beat Biden if he does not become a criminal himself with some of the stupid charges still waiting their queue to go to court over.
  13. For someone who just joined this group 4 days ago. You seem very opinionated without using any facts. You seem to be the opinion holder that needs and wants to be dragged through the mud as you quoted and then used your chance to post something like this ridiculous article. Why is it you can not understand people or women or even love? Age is only a boundary in your mind. That does not mean it is in everyones. Why refute and comment so negatively. They may be the happiest couple when together. She may have married him for love and knowing her future is secure the same almost all women in the world do. Also, you seem not to like older men in your thinking. Wait until you get older to see if you fit the same decrepit description you used for another. With age comes experience, especially in sex. Perhaps you use your own inability to have sex for more than a few minutes and with bad breath. In my thinking the older man with more experience can sex for quite a long time. Perhaps this is also why the young girl wanted to marry him. He can give her the orgasms you would fail to give her.
  14. What was the point of this? Do these rescue teams know that after about 10 minutes there is no more brain.
  15. Why aren't these male siblings being charged in aiding and abetting. Or some other charge that reflect their part in this attempted rape. What idiot in their right mind trades a young girl for a fishing net and encourages the young girl to go off alone to an older mans hut while they fish?
  16. Hehe... Police are not too bright if they can not see the motive for this.
  17. Talk about timing. This news released at the same time as a warning about a severe summer storm approaching that area today and tomorrow.. I guess they will now be able to take credit if the summer storm actually dissipates the smog problem there rather than the summer storm that is predicted.
  18. this is actually stupid. using AI to forecast weather 3 hours in advance. Any decent forecaster can do this reliably for an even longer time to prepare. All this AI is doing now is replacing incompetence in the weather forecasting occupation in Thailand
  19. Wife says, the Thai version is somewhat different. She tells me the foreigner first went to the house where he got injuries from the woman. Then he went to the hospital for treatment.. After the treatment for his injuries he returned to that house and started an argument which led to him assaulting her as well.. She also claims the Thai version of news says that he initially had an argument with his wife and the other woman intervened by assaulting him. However, this was not what the news is depicting on TV. Seems there are 2 versions to the story being told that cater to either thee truth or the to lies. So at the moment I am unsure what is true. I do know, if the foreigner was assaulted without his doing the same, that he should continue trying to get a lot of money from them simply because, if he did the assault then the woman will be asking for even more.
  20. I am curious why someone is trying to put a label on us to be viewed publicly by any foreigner or Thai. What is the purpose of this survey except to accumulate information on the people who read and comment here. I want to tick all but there is no choice for that.. So here is my reply to this survey.. I could be one or all or none The search of a wife The businessman Retiring in Thailand Teaching English The entrepreneurial spirit The bored wife The fresh-starter Sexpats The serial complainer The digital nomads
  21. For some reason, perhaps based on other police actions against foreigners who do not immediately listen to them. I think there is more to the story that is not being told and that the news and police are basing their sole criticisms against the very bad foreigners. Even in the video clip the foreigner holding the gun and emptying the clip was tryin to tell the Thai near how the police assaulted them and was trying to kill them. It could be, that these foreigners were really trying to defend themselves and the cop drew his gun at them and they disarmed him for fear that he would shoot them. The police reputations are not very good to safely assume the cop did not change his story to make him innocent of doing any wrongdoings. The news sensationalism though will surely get all who watch without understanding english to think these foreigners really did all this cop was saying. They even misquote what the foreigners were saying in English to make them look even more bad.. I am not saying the story is not true. But there is enough reason to have a lot of doubt that it went down the way the report is saying.
  22. Although you are correct about your comments. I think that has been happening for decades here. The root of the automobile problem is that there are so many failing the exhaust pollution content allowed and are bypassing the inspection done yearly. More so do I see cars puffing out black smoke than I see engines idling at lights and on the sides of roadways. The same goes for trucks although I had noticed there are a lot less spitting out visible smoke from their exhausts. Whatever the exact cause is, the noticeable increase in smoke and reduction even in visibility has increased enormously this year compared to others. I am just grateful I am living far from that smoke.
  23. Although this act does dirty the property and must be cleaned off, I fail to see how it does damage. Nothing was broken.
  24. I thought checkpoints were outlawed by Thailand last year? I seem to recall reading about it in the news.
  25. This is ludicrous. Allowing passerby to see them? They mean allowing peeping Toms to look into windows that is none of their business. In other countries these people looking into the rooms windows would be the crime.
