Today he is off handing out land grants in Songkhla, not to be confused with buying votes.

There has been no mention of how the law will treat same-sex couples living in the Kingdom, but married outside of Thailand. If Thailand expects the outside world to recognize marriages performed here it must be reciprocal.
The foreign embassies have failed their citizens by not pressing on this issue.

Kudos and cheers to whomever is running Hua Hin’s immigration services. Never once have been asked for a bribe and the staff (with the exception of one middle aged bitter woman) is always friendly, helpful and courteous.
They even opened a center in the mall to make 90 day checkin easier.

This case, alone, should inform the voters, that the current administration is inept and ineffective. It demonstrates failure at every level.

This hospital is need of a crisis management/PR expert. Their every action seems to dig themselves into a deeper hole. Every day brings fresh missteps and misstatements. It boogles the mind how this director has managed this situation.

Until Thailand recognises the same sex marriages of expats legally binding in their home countries, those countries should withhold the recognition of marriages performed in Thailand.

I clean the beach near my Hua Hin home, almost daily. I usually pick up two to three bags each day. Often I will encounter other farang doing the same, but I have only seen one or two Thais doing this.
Making matters worse, I have experienced Thais thanking me for cleaning their beach, while simultaneously throwing their garbage to the sand. Really? Seriously? The trash can is 3 meters away.
Most western countries have woken up to the problem of litter long ago, and find the trash accumulating in Thailand to be repulsive. Of course there are foreigners that litter, but personal experience as well as the vast amounts of garbage accumulating away from tourists areas demonstrate this is mostly a Thai problem.
Instead of having “Bike for Dad Day” , perhaps Thais would be better served by having “Clean Up Your Country For Dad Day”. People are far less likely to litter if they have spent some time picking up after their fellow countrymen.

Are you a fairly young farang man,married to a Thai.And now you have discovered that she previously had a number of sexual encounters with much older farang men. Or are you one of those young farang men who are married to a rather plump farang wife, and wish you were not.
Lol, I am neither of the above. I am not young, nor do I have or want a wife. I am just constantly surprised by the comments of many of the farang posters here who are so quick to judge others while living in nonconventional relationships. Glasshouses with piles of stones.

If the health books in classrooms discouraged young Thai girls from marrying old farang men, then the comments in this thread would be entirely different.

Oh more signs! Hua Hin already suffers from endless sign pollution. Permanent, “temporary” (LaCasita still has signs posted everywhere for their now demolished sales office), moving on trucks... the sign congestion is overwhelming. The sheer volume has led to bigger and more signs being the norm (the new monster sign on top of City Hall shows the leaders mindset). You can hardly walk on sidewalks in Hua Hin without being pushed into traffic lanes by condo and commercial signs mounted across the way.
So now the municipality wants to mount
Sign
Hua Hin
In
Town
Perhaps considering restoring what makes Hua Hin so charming and appealing instead of more signs would increase tourism.
Work on cleaning up the piles of trash along the sidewalks and repairing them, removing dangerous obstacles and wires, removing half demolished structures like the ones near the Intercontinental, embrace the nostalgic old town culture along the downtown waterfront (currently being evicted and demolished). Reclaim the charm and allure of a clean and safe beach town. The very concepts which have made Hua Hin attractive to Kings, residents and tourists.

Koh Tao tops my list of places in Thailand that are likely best to avoid. Too many things seem amiss there. It is either overly dangerous, poorly governed or overrun by crime... or all of the above. It doesn’t seem worth the risk. When the masses start questioning the issues there, the damage will already be irreparable done.

No not satirical, just stereotypical.
And the reason stereotypes exist? because they have a foundation in truth.
Like the stereotypical men that the rest of the world’s women won’t consider marrying, who then come to Thailand to find a wife? I hear of this stereotype all the time, but find in reality, each couple has their own reasons for wedding. Just like these two men. Stereotypes do not have a foundation in truth. They have a foundation in ignorance, bias and bigotry.

If you don’t believe in human rights you are cynical and callous person. You still deserve human rights... just not much trust or attention

Govt throws ball in EC’s court while suggesting a month’s delay in elections
in Thailand News
Posted
Seriously? It would appear that the junta is simply trying to delay (yet again) and avoid any criticism by tying the delay to the coronation events (implying any criticism is subject to lese majesty).
5years in power was insufficient to bring happiness, perhaps they need just one more month to make Thailand happy and corruption free. It seems doubtful, if they have had over a year to plan an election and still can’t even organize that.
It all seems farcical.
How any reasonable Thai person, can find any of this acceptable, is beyond my imagination.
