Which Side Will Thailand Choose?
In answering your question it is likely that Thailand will try to stay neutral but will likely be betrayed by its' pro-Chinese politicians. Worth remembering that it was the USA who saved Thailand from world-wide recriminations following Thailand's cooperation with Japan during WW2, and it was the USA who then supported Thailand militarily and financially thereafter.

Foreigner Poses as Immigration Officer, Assaults Pump Attendant
This is about how foreigners behave when abroad. In this case it appears to have been a Brit. Hopefully he will be caught and deported.

Ridiculous comment.

Is Thailand cheap to visit?
Depends entirely on how you want to live, as it does in any country. If you want to stay in top hotels/ apartments and eat western food it will not be cheap.

Just got my Yellow house book and pink ID card....
I am told you can use the yellow book and pink ID card for reporting online, so worth a try. You will find the pink ID card more useful generally than is indicated on this forum. I have used it, inter alia, when entering certain buildings, when identifying myself to the police, and at my local hospital.

Europe's Far-Right Groups Launch Campaign for EU Elections

Drunk Chinese national causes extensive damage in a Bangkok hotel
Ignorant rubbish. Weed induces calm, not violence. This case is more likely one involving alcohol and crystal meth.

Five Arrested in Patong Stabbing of British Man
As others have said, in that area at 4.40 in the morning there is a lot of potential for trouble, mainly down to alcoholic excess.

Weed Smokers to be Prosecuted
Too early to say. Thaksin is behind the proposal to re-criminalize. As he has done in the past he may have over-estimated his importance in the Thai hierarchy. Many top people heve invested in the cannabis business recently.

Thailand's reversal on cannabis serves as a warning
Misleading headline. It's not yet a reversal. I note that the USA is today relaxing reguiatory control of cannabis use, bringing it into line with sevaral orher western countries. Sensible and civilised. Hopefully Thailand will take note.

Thailand's Cannabis Industry Faces Uncertain Future Amid Government Review
Weed users are not riff-raff. They are made up of all types ranging from backpackers to well-off residents. Anyway, whatever your background, make the best of it while you can. It appears the civilized move to relax regulations is about to be snuffed out by Thaksin's people. Cannabis will soon be back into the hands of gangsters , sadly.
