My view - we live here - we cannot influence this country in any way - so don’t be judgemental.
My Thai friends go to the temple on a regular basis - in respect to my partner I have a stunningly beautiful ancient Sukothai period Buddha image at home .
( I can’t stand all those tourist paintings and images- they should not be used as decoration)
When you choose to move to a new country - you have no right to constantly criticise its citizens- you are a guest here - nothing more .
Yeah...ahm...this is wrong on so many levels, I don't even know, where to start!

Nothing to do with the fact you were shit during the World Cup (in addition to having been shit for Arsenal for the past two seasons) or appear to support an intolerant, wannabe facist dictator, then...
I for one, couldn't care less, if he is Muslim or Hindu, or if he sings the anthem.
It's a football- match, not the Eurovision!
He makes this about everything and everyone is at fault...just not him, having his photo taken with Erdogan at an official press- appointment (some claim, this photo was a private thing!!!), where Erdogan was actually rallying for his "election"!
That and ONLY THAT should be at the center and front of this affair!

Oh Dear
So many negative and cynical comments today- and so many commenting from a Western perspective.
Sometimes I really do wonder if anyone on ThaiVisa actually lives in Thailand , or if they make any attempt to understand the culture.
Like it or not the great religions have shaped the world we live in , who can not stand in awe in one of the great medieval cathedrals in Europe or be moved in my favourite temple Wat Pho.
Many Thai young men will become a novice, and if you live here - you will probably have been to a ceremony - it’s a joyous occasion.
Buddhism is a thread of beliefs that runs through everything.
The kids are going to become novices for a few days - and if it helps them to stay somewhere quiet and out of the limelight for a while - excellent .
Oh, please spare me!
Yeah, I live in Thailand and yeah, I had a look at their "religion" and it is the same crap than anywhere else in the world!
I don't have to like everything Thais do, just because I live here!
It's not "entering Thailand and hang up your brain in the entry hall"!

All of the BS this guy is spouting is not even worth an answer!
But let me just state one point:
5 An alcohol-dependent person should forge a bonding with family, friends, neighbours, clubs/foundations who could get him/her overcome the habit.
Hey Einstein! If you look at alcoholics, you will find that their alcohol- dependency actually estranged them from families, friends, neighbours etc.
Mostly, they are not able to lead a "normal" social life!
That is the PROBLEM, you dimwit!

Oezil absolutely learning resistant and he doesn't understand a few, important facts:
a ) as a German- citizen, he enjoys freedom of speech and expression (something, his fellow countrymen in Turkey...under Erdogan.. enjoy less and less...). He has the right, to express his admiration for Erdogan...and everybody else, has the right to express horror and disgust over his opinion.
b ) the racism- argument is not well suited to gloss over his idiocy!
Sure, there are some racists (too many!) in Germany, who have complained for years, that Oezil was not singing the national anthem and BS like that! But he absolutely does not get it, that the main criticism is about him, posing with a quasi- dictator!
c ) when he says, he would do it all again, exactly as he did it before, doesn't really speak volumes about his intelligence!

Trup doesn't need any "evidence"!
He just says something, throws a little "Obama that and Hillary this" into the mix, mentiones the "fake media...the real enemy of the people" and as easy as 1,2,3...his followers eat up this new pile of horse manure with a shovel!

I think you have missed the point. We all know it happens elsewhere. Religion has always had its perverts but when they are caught the authorities don't come out with a lack or refusal of responsibilities. The case here is the lack of enthusiasm to deal with the problems. In general, parents in the western countries come out to form outspoken organisations or take to streets in protest. That won't and can't happen in Thailand.,,yet at any rate.
I really don't understand, why this stupid whataboutism is granted any response!
You are not allowed to stay in Thailand, if you don't acknowledge that bad things are happening elsewhere?
What a POS- comment!
But of course, the defenders of all things Thai, have to be out, to deflect from the problem(s) at hand!
Disgusting!

Okay...I am really asking myself, WHAT is the material to make a movie out of this, if you don't prop it up with all kinds of religious and nationalistic humbug?
13 people sitting in the dark for some days, sharing some food and drinking water!
Outside, people are preparing the rescue - mission, which so happens!
The End!
But let me guess: a monk predicts, the boys will be found! (Well...not where he predicts it, but...oh well...!)
The boys sit inside the dark and ask for strength by looking teary eyed at pictures of you- know- who, which they all carry with them at any given time!
Cut back to outside, where the big head-honcho arrives and his mere presence gives hope to the rescuers and the parents and everybody around!
See the great Thai- Navy and Army working tirelessly to come up with the best solutions and there is an English cave- diver but quickly back to the open water dive instructors of the Navy Seals....
Hand me a bucket, please!?

Yeeeeee-haaaawwww....#$%@ nature!
Let's do more fracking, more coal, less environmental protection, less renewable energies!
Let's destroy some more jobs in eco-friendly energies, so the "base" can live on the illusion, the "forgotten man will no longer be forgotten"!
Oh yeah...and more guns for everyone and more money for the wealthy!
How did the saying go?
"And if the last river is poisoned...."

Oh...so if the Culture Ministry is involved, I guess a documentary, based on facts, is off the table!
I can imagine, what will happen in this movie, but making my predictions known, might get me in deep deep doo-doo!

Can’t believe...or maybe I CAN, the “Mean SPIRITED” attitudes expressed by some people !
This has been an Uplifting story around the world and many millions of readers and viewers are enjoying the follow-up material. No one is holding a gun at your head, forcing you to read it.
As for those who have nothing to contribute, aside from Snide Remarks, if you choose to live in THAILAND it would behove you to exhibit a midicum of “Good Grace,” if not “Good Breeding” (but lack of the latter, is perhaps obvious) and RESPECT the beliefs of OUR HOSTS.
Ever heard of freedom of expression?
Just because I live here, doesn't mean I have to "respect" anything!
I can acknowledge it...but that is it!
They have the freedom to believe in little fairies and I have the freedom, to think it is nuts!
Get over it!
...and yourself!

"It is called: "Doing good from the heart. Less Taking, Less Giving, Less Using Plastic Bags".
What a catchy slogan!
It could also be called :"Blah blah blah rhubarb rhubarb waffle waffle!"
When do these freaks under-sa- tand, that they have to implement (and enforce) laws?
As long as it is only "please people...do ...something!", nothing will change!
But then again: that isn't the point here!
The point is, that some unimportant official gets some facetime on TV and can blubber something into a microphone!
