It’s the late night benediction at the Y’all Come Back Saloon.”

They can’t win fair and square so the resort to skulduggery. Shameful!

As much as I love this country, preventive maintenance is just not in their DNA. One sees it in all manner of construction, road building, beautification projects, you name it. Things start out looking great then aren’t taken care of and decay, sometimes rapidly. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Just what we need, zero ฿ tourists to Chinese hotels, Chinese restaurants, Chinese tour buses etc and the list goes on. Heads out of the sand please.

Oh oh. The proverbial camel’s nose is under the tent. Nothing ever comes good from Xi and his fellow autocrats. I said long ago that the high speed rail was just a faster way for the Chinese communists to get their troops and tanks to Thailand. The wolves are at the door.

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out who’s behind this.

By this, I would suppose that you mean you would prefer the Chinese Communists. They’re already knocking at our door, infesting the South China Sea with their island bases, encroaching on Philippine and Viet Nam sovereignty and now in the Gulf of Thailand. What do you think the high speed rail is all about? Take off your blinders, these autocrats are hell bent on taking over SE Asia and they’re not here to have fun and enjoy our hospitality,

The question of it being appropriate or not for a “guest” in a country to comment on politics in that is a specious one. Think about it. People around the world comment on all manner of political questions whether they take place in Turkey, Hungary or Timbuktu. There is absolutely nothing untoward about this as it’s just part of the human condition. Moot point, get over it. Like it or not, what happens in SE Asia has worldwide implications and we are all affected whether one is a citizen or a “guest.”

I’m with you, especially if a loved one is in the taxi I always take a pic of the license plate and have the person in the taxi snap a photo of the drivers ID display in the car and send it immediately followed by a call when they are safely at their destination. We do use Grab most of the time but often it’s not possible so we’re stuck with a taxi meter and follow the above procedure.

No law enforcement, plain and simple!

Putting the meat missile in her ground zero grotto. In this case with multiple warheads.

As if charging ten times the going rate at national parks etc based on one’s skin pigment isn’t enough.

Lunacy reigns.

Just what one needs in a free market economy, the government telling people what to pay for goods and services. Anybody out there ever heard of supply and demand?

Just what we need, another General.
