And they wonder why so many of us balk at the prospect of keeping 800K on deposit in a Thai bank.

Never happens to me - they're all afraid of my wife! Even my wife's GFs and other females in our social circle are afraid to send me friend requests.

You are correct, sir. In fact, I would submit that maintaining appearances/social status is the number one priority for Thais - whether we're talking about the lowliest rice farmer or the Grand Poobah.

???? Man, I'm missing the laugh emoticon already.

Shocked, I tell ya. Just shocked! ????

Well, then don’t just stop at 110 - keep extending!

I was wondering the same thing. The Southern Thai style Kaeng Som I’ve had at some of the better restaurants in BKK has actually been quite good, IMO.

As crooked as Thaksin is, this current bunch just sounds like the pot calling the kettle black at this stage of the game.

And they wonder why so many of us balk at the prospect of keeping 800K on deposit in a Thai bank.

So let me get this straight: The Keystone Cops raid RCA under the pretext of locating the ringleaders of a gang of online scammers and subsequently broaden the scope of their “mandate” to search patrons for drugs, conduct on the spot urine tests and check tourists’ passports for overstays? Just more confirmation, in case anybody needs some, that these clowns are incapable of learning from their mistakes.

Huh? Wait a minute - I was told by some Thailand apologist or other that those zero dollar tours didn’t exist…

???????????????? He must be talking about some other Thailand that exists in a parallel universe.

Careful - you don’t want him to dismiss you as a “woke snowflake” or something like that. ????

Or someone who moves to California and complains about all the liberals.

In other news, the chocolate ration has been increased from three grams to two grams…

Huh? And forfeit his own piece of the action? Never gonna happen.

LOL. That’s right up there with “your check’s in the mail” and “I promise I won’t ___ in your mouth.” ????

“A few?” ROFL! ????

Reminds me of the way the Catholic Church “transfers” priests who get caught molesting kids. Same definition of accountability.

Translation: "Looking for a way to be let off the hook without having to admit to any wrongdoing or face any consequences."

They’re only taking an interest because they got caught.

ROFL! ???? If the Major General were a defense attorney: “Your honor, I move that only the defendant’s testimony be admitted and that all eyewitness accounts and all accounts by interested parties be stricken from the record.”

Gotta love the way they frame the whole scandal here, i.e., it’s the story - not the actions of cops who were involved in the shakedown - which is damaging to the RTP’s image.

False comparison. You might not like Biden or his politics, and that’s fine, but to claim he lacks the qualifications to be president is ridiculous. IQ45, on the other hand, was elected despite having virtually no qualifications for the office.
