Much better sounding equipment than that can be found in Thailand but generally not cheaply

Actually it did occur to me that the atmosphere was ripe for scams.

Often it but it thar might cost yiu an extra 5% or more.

Yes, there is a Hash House Harriers (for drinkers with a running problem).

Pattaya is better for sexpats but Chiang Mai has better beaches.

Too many elderly people there dropping hints about how much money that they have for my taste.

Were weed shops paying taxes?

Whether pharmaceuticals are cheaper is a mixed bag. Generally name brand drugs that can be purchased from a private pharmacy will be cheaper in Thailand but deeper discounts on generic drugs can be found in the West. Cancer drugs in particular are horrifically expensive in Thailand.

That's making threats against a specific person. Hate speech is usually defined to be things like Holocaust denial or calling for blacks to be put back into slavery.

That's probably the best angle that the government has. That's the reason that the Green Card application includes questions like "have you ever been affiliated with a terrorist group". Of course everyone will answer "no" but later having lied in answering that question can be used as a reason to rescind the Green Card.

I'd like to understand that too. In the US law, is there any distinction between the two?

But the matter does have to go before a judge.

Retired now, was a semiconductor engineer for a US company that had a factory in Bangkok.

Work, but you're the one complaining about Thailand.

What brought you to Thailand in the first place?
