Thingamabob replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The govt is in chaos. There is a strong possibility that the new regulations will not be implemented. -

Illegal businesses ? I don't believe so. Also, drug dealers investing in transport and mules is not what is being discussed here. Perhaps you should read more on this subject. -

Vastly over-stated. -
UK Three Lucy Letby hospital bosses arrested over ‘manslaughter’
Thingamabob replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The only evidence against her was circumstantial. How on earth a judge and jury came up with a whole life sentence is beyond belief. Also, some serious questions to be answered by senior hospital staff. -
UK Noel Gallagher Slams Glastonbury as ‘Woke’ and ‘Virtue-Signalling’

Good for him. -
At 83 years old, and having lived permanently in Thailand since 1984, apart from a relatively short spell in Taiwan, no health insurance and no problems. Have instructed family to under no circumstances to seek medical treatment as and when I become terminally ill. Just keep me going at home on painkillers until I expire.

A rather silly comment. This is a serious issue for Thais who have invested heavily in this business.- 50 replies

UK Police mocked for investigating a swarm of bees in Hampshire
Thingamabob replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Today's UK police get themselves involved in far sillier exercises than this. -
I got badly shafted in the 1990s after I went into a partnership with substantial Thai partners to build a hotel and college in Kao Yai. The 97/98 crash occurred, our supporting Thai bank collapsed, and the project died. My Thai partners ran away leaving me with unpaid debts and an unpaid workforce. I am lucky to have been well enough off to survive the huge losses incurred, but I would advise people to be very, very careful before investing even a small amount in Thailand.

Reminds me of 1997/98. The difference now is that Thailand has significant reserves to draw on, or so we are told. Back then Thailand was being urged to devalue the Baht in order to urgently boost exports and curb imports. It failed to do so and the result was the monumental crash which reverberated all over the world.

Report Welshman Awakens from Coma After Brutal Thailand Attack
Thingamabob replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
There is a lot more to be told about this story, starting with how he finished up unconscious in Pattaya having intended to spend the evening 'clubbing' with friends in Bangkok. Just for openers, where were his friends when he apparently disappeared, and who took him to Pattaya ? -

The problems for Starmer start with his appearance, and get worse when he speaks. -

Do Thai Men Have Any Level Of Emotional Maturity?
Thingamabob replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I agree, but with an amendment ie some do, many don't. -
These scenes are typical of those that can now be observed in areas of many major cities in America and, increasingly, in western Europe. The so-called war on drugs has been a hugely expensive failure in terms of lives and money. Whether narcotics or opioids, way better to legalise, licence, regulate, control and tax.
