Thaksin Announces New Anti-Drug Task Force Led by PM Paetongtarn
This vague language is hard to understand. Are they trying to arrest speed freaks? Biker gangs? Crack down on weed shops? Mushroom pizza? I don't really understand what this is all supposed to be about. But I understand TIT!

Thai ministry urges the public to refrain from giving money to beggars
It is certainly true that temples in Thailand really serve the purpose intended by many people when they give to people on the street. But man those teenagers with flutes or whatever, come on. I think making stigmatizing generosity in your society is a mistake. People aren't stray cats. If they are breaking a law, then arrest them, otherwise leave them alone, I say.

Thai-US powered operation crumbles cybercrime hacker syndicate
In my opinion, this US "help with crime" is not about fighting organized crime, this is about spying on China and gaining favor with Thai government to try to pivot it away from a China alliance or friendship. The US CIA in fact works regularly with organized crime and terrorists groups to further its aims. It seemingly has no interest nor ability to reduce either of those things, despite claims to the contrary.

New Tax Rules for Expats in Thailand Spark Concern
The equation would be: revenue increase = (new tax revenues collected) - (number of people who leave because of taxes) * (amount of fees and taxes, especially VAT collected per person leaving). So if enough people stay, income outweighs the leavers. Furthermore, one might argue it probably improves Thailand by reducing the number of fat white bellies on beaches. LOL

Cannabis crackdown: Only marijuana buds return to the blacklist
Well, this does not stabilize the cannablis industry, it protects the hemp industry and destroys the cannabis industry. It's fun to watch them try to put the genie back in the bottle here. The fact is this will gore a lot of oxen, so politically it will be a fun fight. Not over yet I think.

Aussie Woman Reveals Harrowing Tales from Infamous Thai Prison
OK now that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of in my life. Reminds me of a couple once that killed the woman's husband so they could run off together, and took pictures of the body dismemberment. They had the pics developed at Walgreens. Derp derp.
