Sounds like you need to get down to that hotel and crack this case right open!

Does Thailand even have a functioning Consumer's Protection agency?

Yes, you can register a complaint online and they will deal with it. I had an issue with Lazada refusing to refund for goods sent back in time and in good condition. They contacted Lazada and told them to refund me, which they did. 

Popular tourist destination is full of tourists.... I am shocked!!!! It's the end of Thai culture, the last nail in the coffin etc. etc. etc.

Thais deny prostitution exists whilst partaking to the full - in particular police-owned brothels.

Now that's what I call a non-sequitur

Don't project the shame of your weak mindedness on me. 

 

Disable Facebook's ability to function on your devices and unplug your television. Learn to think for yourself.  One day you'll wake up and see how most people are simps who are being played by the media you cling to so strongly, and that you were once that simp. 

damn, you are triggered. You mean not believe any old crackpot bs theory that i see online? 

Wait till they find out that organic farming uses chemicals as well

As we have found out since 2020, conspiracy theory leads conspiracy fact by a few months to a few years.  The term "conspiracy theory" is a pejorative aimed to shut-down any discussion regarding a subject except for the Authoritarian so-called authoritative narrative.

No it isn't, cos real conspiracies do come out - crackpot ones stay as being crackpot.

Asean Now is the extent of my social media and I haven't watched traditional media since my hair was black. 

 

I love oil and anybody with an ounce of common sense should kiss the ground beneath their feet and show gratitude for the miracle of oil and petroleum products. 

 

 We wouldn't have a single modern convenience without it. No fertilizer, no mines, no EVs.  There wouldn't be flights to Thailand without oil, so we would miss out on this stimulating exchange. 

At no point did I say oil was bad, or that it didn't drive industrialised nations. As for the first part, sure, buddy 🙂

"Climate" lockdowns by 2025.  If I'm wrong, I'll eat a bug.  If I'm right we will all be eating them. 

Now what social media and media sites are pushing this kind of conspiracy trope? Oh yeah, that would be the ones funded and supported by billionaires connected to the oil industries, funny that.

There are those, generally speaking, of certain Nationalities that you just do not want in your society. They contribute nothing. Russians, Nigerians, Albanians,, Romas, radicals to name a few. 

 

Yet, they get in everywhere. Its bad enough to have your own native thugs and scum without importing further problems.

So just by where they come from they are automatically bad? Now where have I heard rhetoric like this before? 

And who is "importing" them and who are these radicals?

Yeah, weird that "best destination outside of Europe" is missing from a European list. Jeez.

Come on now, you can't go using facts and logic on here, that's just not cricket! 

Pff... have they not read this forum and taken on the thoughts from the world's leading Thailand experts on here?

Why do we need to replace the people that died...?

 

We are killing ourselves via 'over-population'. Any scientist with a brain will tell you that there are not enough resources on the planet to sustain the current populations.

What scientists? Many are saying overpopulation is bs

The classic definition, as drawn by Benito Mussolini. 

Corporatism [Fascism] - a nexus of state and corporate rule. 

 

Ironically, the principle and accepted practice the world over......with a few exceptions.

One part of it, but not the only part. North Korea can be defined as a fascist state, there is no corporate rule there.

You've mentioned this or that obscure writer on the subject of fascism, so as to appear very learned and wise. Yet you omit obvious contenders like Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler and Benito Mussolini. Why is that?

 

Fancy thinking Ian Kershaw is an obscure writer and then bringing up Adolf Hitler, I will let you Google that to find out 🙂 

Or, do you want to back even further and talk about Hagel's ideas of absolute state authority, a big influence on fascism that one. Or, how about Maurice Barrès? Ah, but wait, you will probably whine that they are too "obscure" hahaha

And it ain't being "learned and wise", it is called knowing what fascism is.
