  1. Ancient Greek Democracies had this rule 2300 Years ago for elected officials ,, and it was taken by a full vote of the cities registered Voters ,, minimum punishments for corruption or incompetence was a massive fine often all money and posessions , removal of office and voting rights which was harsh as it made you less than a man , to exile for you and your family which was almost as bad as death as you were no longer citizen but an outcast and unlikely to find refuge in another city , to a choice of slavery or death , by poison, sword, fire or strangulation ... Even republican Rome had methods to punish corrupt or incompetent officials .. Modern Democracies often reward incompetence etc in Uk they are made Lords ,, In EU they are made commissioners ,In Thailand or USA its a revolving door for the elites ,, Etc etc ,,,no real punishments for failure ..
  2. Giant Python total Hype a big python is one over 5m length and a giant is one over 7m length that is a tiddler ,,,
  3. Be aware they have recently raised the fines from 500baht to 2000baht
  4. The executioner would have to work 24/7/365 to even make a small dent in the corrupt officials numbers ,,,,,,,,,
  5. Must be a very HISO mall as they are too embarassed to name it ,, SIAM, WTC, MBK, Terminal 21, Emporium , Central ???? many more ... probably all of them LOL
  6. Keep a large python or a croc nearby ,, end of dog problem ,,, feed the farang to his obnoxious Pit bull then feed the Pitbull to the croc or get some koreans round for dinner.
  7. Dont touch crypto its a scam , and most crypto exchanges are full of ripoffs, just transfer the money by normal bank transfer to your Thai bank account ,
  8. Life is a lesson in Futility,,, Life is futile,, All existence is ultimately futile,, everything will end ,, all things will cease to exist ,, History,Life, Universe, even time .
  9. Tourist arrivals to USA down 12% in last 2 months already as countries warn people about ICE Thugs ,,,, and forward tourist bookings for 2025 dow 37% its on a lot of financial media ,,,, Airlines , Hotels, Car rentals , restaurants and Attractions etc in USA very worried ,,,another Trump success story
  10. I went to renew my Thai license in pattaya in November ,, done it before 6 times over last 24 years , so thought it would be a breeze.... er NO ..total nightmare ,, got run around, refused , bribe demanded ,, get another, medical,, blah blah got another medical,, then immigration letter now out of time,,,, blah blah ,,,gave up and using my EU licence ....
  11. 50% of the Thai Military budget is diverted in Generals, Air marshals , politicians and Admirals pockets ,, the other 50% is wasted
  12. 5 tones and up to 11 Classifiers makes it very confusing I can converse in Thai but its not at all easy ,, women are easy to talk with but Thai men often deliberately dont want to understand ,, even my thai wife has noticed this when I talk with local in Thai ,, she says the men are lazy and ignorant..Sure my accent is not so great .. Then there are all the different dialects ....and the killer is that many Thais have nothing interesting to speak about anyway even the so called intellectuals .
  13. Thai police are always after a pay day , thats why the senior officer was ranting at your wife , so he could extort more money ... The UK is no different ,, the Cops and on duty free lawyers work with corrupt CPS to get people to plead guilty even when innocent of no crime with threats , makes the cops look good , CPS gets a cheap win ,, they lie and the only way to beat them is to go to Crown court which cost you a lot in lawyers fees , and then The Police and CPS drop the case as their bluff is called as they are quickly found out and the judge gets angry with them ,,, but its abuse of procedure and very immoral...
  14. Boeing planes are made up of parts from 73 countries ,, only 28% of any Boeing Commercial plane is made in USA so Trumps tariffs are going to really hurt Boeing and Gulfstream ,,, it will take them more than 10 years and hundreds of Billions $ to create same supply chains in USA that are of same quality or certification which is highly unlikely so they will lose massive market share to Airbus, Comac, Embraer and others etc who will be able to access the global supply chains much more easily .... Im sur e Boeing and other Fortune 500 companies are screaming in Trumps ear that he is destroying USA
