There is no enforcement of the road safety laws at all as far as I can see. Many think it’s about driver education. Sure that will help a bit but it’s not a solution. People respect what you inspect. A diligent focus on enforcement of the existing laws will get driver attention and compliance. I have no clue what the the police here do (beyond directing traffic) if it’s not about enforcing the law.

- The plan aligns with a broader policy outlined by Chinese President Xi Jinping, aiming to establish China as a global leader in tourism. - …positioning Thailand as a central tourism hub. Is it just me or do these two statements seem contradictory?

Well she is right about he food. Philippine food has to be among the worst in Asia. As for fast women, I have indulged in more than my fair share of Philippine women o we the years. Here is a generalization for her … in the end all woman are the same, they are driven to control their men … it’s an overwhelming urge they can’t escape and it spoils everything good that they do.

Mystical insight to the unknowable fluctuations of currency. Truly a giant of economic thought.

Seriously? The court system would come to a stand still.

All Thai roofs leak. Don't worry, this is not a flaw. It's a design feature. If it were a flaw it would have been fixed years ago. Nobody knows better how to design a roof than a Thai builder.

Must be butt ugly.

Low dose Mushrooms and LSD are the two most known and effective treatments for PTSD. They are serious game changers for people with this condition. Much better than the garbage the Pharma companies and Dr’s prescribe for the same condition.

Especially since the ex con was a pal of Taksin’s. You can bet the unwitting Srethai was told by Taksin to make the appointment … Taksin knowing of course it would cause a <deleted> storm. I wonder … who does the Constitutional Court work for?

57 million people played like a fiddle again. I have to give it to Taksin he has been working devilishly hard the last 6 months getting things aligned and doling out favors and positions to bring this to pass.

I have no dog in this hunt but I wonder what upside Trump could obtain by debating the VP? She is a proven light weight … look what Tulsi Gabbard did to her in the last election debate, Kamala was destroyed. Every speaking opportunity Kamala has had since she has embarrassed herself. So if Trump trounces her in a debate that would be the expected outcome and he gains nothing. However if she unexpectedly gets in a few good licks the she gains a lot. I’m not a Trump fanboy but he is pragmatic. Finally, has anyone considered the possibility that the Dem elites pull the plug on Kamala at the Dem convention and replace her with a new option … Newsome, Whitmer etc? If I were Trump I would wait until the cards are in the table before I consider debating anyone.

There are things that serious countries can do that unserious countries can’t. Being a financial center is not for unserious countries like Thailand. The effort would be better put into education/language skills, streamlining banking regulations, etc. This would at least make things tolerable for the existing users.

Say what you will about Thailand, I have likely said it all myself, the people here are for the most part happy. It has nothing at all to do with their totally useless government. I find Thai’s ready with a smile, a laugh or “mai pen rai”. It’s what makes living in Thailand tolerable for me. Global survey or not, the Thai people are happy and good to be around.

This is sad. Radio is on its last legs everywhere. Such as it is, Radio works best when it is providing a highly local service of entertainment, news and editorial. I can’t think of a way to accelerate the demise of radio than this ill considered plan. The best service government can provide to the public is less government.

Might this characterization of the social media background noise be a bit exaggerated?
