This terrible terrible policy has been tried and failed many times before.  All it does it punish users with criminal records and jail time turning normal people into hardened criminals with few options in life.  At present 800K, about 1.2% of Thais, are receiving drug treatment.  Well done Anutin on turning most into Criminals - a failed horrible policy.

Poison, guns, you cant take the killer out of a savage like this guy. They dont even know for sure his total kill tally.

Ready to kill again.  What will his next victims families say to the Nepalese govt?

People really dont understand the dangers of Thai roads at all. You dont need to be going fast, you can even be wearing a helmet.  The odds of getting hit on a bike or otherwise having an accident here are very high.

This is not true, Thailand is not a 2nd world nation. The term "2nd world" is no longer commonly used and referred to countries that were aligned with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Thailand, on the other hand, is considered as a developing country

Correct.  Thailand is considered an upper-middle income.  Although income in some rural areas is likely lower, the income rates in bangkok are approaching upper upper income.  Anyone coming here should be aware of this and the budget implications.

“When farang sends its people, they’re not sending their best, They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re <the R word>. And some, I assume, are good people." - build that submarine!

Criticism is only "unfair" when its based on lies or misconceptions.  The picture posted speaks for itself.  Not nice after a 14 hour flight - or any flight.

Its a good thing high quality tourist destinations like Pattaya are on offer then.  Keep the criminals and low life's away.  ????

He knows if you keep the people stoned they wont notice bad governance ????

Oh... I read the title as "Free Porn" - Not "Porn Free" - sorry Ill go elsewhere rather than listen to this puritanical dribble.

Highly uninformative

I see two people who realise that masks keep the dust and bugs out of their lungs so they continue to wear them.

 

The comments about sheeple are ignorant. Thais are brought up to be deferential and polite. They wear masks out of politeness and also realise that they actually stop a lot of respiratory infections besides covid. Until covid is actually gone, they will continue to wear masks. Thais, unlike some foreigners, are not oblivious to rising levels of infection and potentially danger from BA4 and BA.5. They do actually have a functioning news service.

I think you may have missed the subtleties inherent in the picture. ????

Some 'medicinal' weed should help 

Does this mean we dont have to have 3 hours foresight any more? Rule makes little sense anyway.  

Does this confirm that military juntas dont make people happy or govern well?

Certainly a study in collective madness and even Stockholm syndrome.  This is what happens when society is dumbed down and unable to properly assess risk, when combined with an autocratic anti-meritocratic government.
