And their daughters/granddaughters are doing what? -

So are you saying that because there are "1 million of them", they are "most people"? -

"In my day", before the "never never", we saved up to buy things that we wanted! Mind you, that was in the days of black and white TV, and bicycles were the main means of transport! ???? -

And are "massage girls" classed as "most people"? Mind, it would be interesting to know which/what type of people were interviewed for the poll! For instance, you could interview 1067 hotel managers nationwide and get a different reaction than from 1067 farm labourers! -
"............and most have already on the pedophile list" I do realise from the wording of your post that English is not your native language, but you should realise that saying things like this is at least a bit of an exaggeration, and at worst the post as a whole could be interpreted as being racist!

Sorry, but did you read the post and look at the picture? I will refresh your memory:- ...........two foreign suspected child sex offenders." "The couple, a Thai national named Ms. A (alias), 43, and a British national named Mr. Tacker, 60,......." So, of the four people in the picture, how many would you say are "the "real friends" of Thailand..........who are defintely not you or anyone of your, or my, "shade".?

"Let’s start smiling at each other again - Thais and foreigners - and put the S back in the LOS." The first time I returned to the UK after a 6 months "sabbatical" in Thailand, I landed at Heathrow, and was walking along the platform in Euston Station to get my train "Oop North" to my then hometown, when I caught the eye of someone walking towards me, so I smiled and nodded as was customary here at the time. "Who you "f*****g lookin' at?" was my reward for acting like a "Thai"! I could only assume that he was heartbroken after putting his girlfriend on the train to go home to look after her sick mum, but I stopped the practice in the UK after that experience!

He would discharge his weapon when drunk and once shot a dog owned by a member of the public. The police managed to keep this quiet so that Panya was not prosecuted. Seems like they seemed to keep an awful lot of things quiet about this "time bomb"! How on earth did he keep his job? He must have paid an awful lot of money to get it in the first place!

Not all professional footballers get paid vast some of money like Messi or Ronaldo - in the same way as not all professional musicians get paid as much as Taylor Swift or Kanye West (Had to Google them!) And Coventry City and Shrewsbury Town are unlikely to pay the same wages as Man United or Liverpool!

Transferred Pattaya police chief is back at Pattaya police station

I thought you might know as you seem to be defending him regardless of what he may have done/not done. -

Did it also say why he had been suspended/inactive posted in the first place? -

I was merely making an observation about your usual reactions to certain observations! Regarding your question, one poster put it rather succinctly - "Inaction". In other words not what he did, but rather what he didn't do! -
I think it would depend on the quality of the mask! If it was one of those cheap cotton ones, I fear that you are DOOMED! And yes, people who spit in public are despicable germ spreaders - not just Covid. Personally, I always carry a couple of tissues anyway - you never know when you might need one in some of the toilets here!

I am not disputing your facts and figures, but who are you to tell me so bluntly that "I read wrong"? Your attitude is very argumentative, and I can assure you that I did not "read wrong". It may be that where I read it was not the same place as you got your information from - in fact I did not get the information from the agency that you quote. It may be that wearing a LOW QUALITY mask does not give the wearer much protection, but can prevent the wearer from spreading germs from coughs and sneezes. Yes, many "maybes", but I can assure you of one thing - I did read it somewhere, and I am not in the habit of "reading things wrong".
-
I remember reading that wearing a mask does not really protect the wearer at all - it prevents the wearer from passing on germs if he/she is infected, and is coughing and sneezing into the mask rather than infect people close by.

".....................abide by health and safety standards." What a great way to finish a statement by TAT! Maybe they should mention that to certain Thai business owners as well!!!
