How fortunate for the ruling classes that MFP were dissolved just before Srettha dismissed

The imbeciles holding Thailand back are all around.

I guess what I'm missing here and you have not mentioned whatsoever is my part in this.

 

I've been to Nepal, Pakistan Himalaya / Hindu Kush, Ladakh, Spiti, Kinnuar..and Tibet twice. While there is loads of snow and many of these regions. The Tibetan plateau that you've mentioned has little or no moisture / water. This is a total red herring. Tibetan plateau lol

 

Glaciers definitely melting.

 

Edit: Tibetan plateau receives at most 12 in a year in rainfall. You can get that in 3 hours and in a given day in Thailand. It's absolutely nothing.

Finally sorry.. The Washington Post doesn't print facts.

 

I guess I should give Obama a ring and let him know that his mansion is going to be underwater in 20 years

OMFG! Tibetan plateau is the source of most of the freshwater in Asia every major river begins there. I almost feel sorry for you living day to day being so ignorant of the world around you

I am a retired scientist. I have never been paid anything for work related to climate.

 

Anyone with a knowledge of thermodynamics also knows climate change and global warming are inevitable consequences of the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

 

Conservative models of the Tibetan plateau predict by 2050, water flows to the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Mekong will be halved. One billion people depend on those rivers to live. Those models don't include dams the Chinese are building.

 

If you find a stopper for those two laws, let me know. I'll be the first to nominate you for a Nobel Prize.

 

The attached is not a model. It's a fact.

Facts, facts, facts... I think we have to realise that facts, proven facts, are just not evidence enough to someone has seen things " with their own eyes man"

So you're a Climate Change Conspiracy Theorist?  Thought so!  Go buy some super-glue and orange paint and vandalize public and private infrastructure.  That will fix thing, 'eh?

No just someone who actually understands the science. I couldn't care less that you think it's all a big conspiracy, but I will make fun of you for believing such laughable nonsense

Anutin will be happy. Probably him and his pals pulling the strings since the beginning

Now this is how you recompense yourself for not working in the private sector and adding to your starter 18,000 baht government salary. They guy feeling sad about his choices in recent article just needs to read this and learn

I've watched this a couple of times now, if anything it is far far too generous to Thailand. Nobody is as lucky as the these visitors to Thailand. not anymore.

Yet you are the one who thinks that the average Thai would be bothered by a closed off smoking area. 

 

The majority of Thais do not have a negative view of cannabis, they are either for it or not bothered.

Any negativity comes from politicians, the press and a few uneducated farangs on this forum, who all seem to have their own beliefs and agendas.

 

Try talking to the Thai people, the real Thai public and not Noi from Soi 6 or the receptionist at your hotel/guesthouse.

 

 

And you have still not given me any sensible reasoning behind your 'no smoking/relaxing areas in dispensary' idea(?).

 

 

Absolute rubbish. I have not met a single Thai person who is positive about cannabis, every single one thinks they should close all the shops permanently. My wifes family are from the North and all her family, friends and our wider social circle in Thailand all went to university, some work in upper circles of govt advising ministers, not a single one thinks relaxing laws on Cannabis is good for Thailand. This is middle class Thailand.

Absolutely no sensibility in your reasoning.

You are saying that smoking in an isolated designated area would not be acceptable, by who, Luddites and cavemen?

 

It's almost as if living in Thailand has meant you understand absolutely nothing about Thai people

Yes I think that would be fair. Let s also do the same with alcohol, only sell in special shops, no neon lights/party music/weed in alcohol shops, no shop within 500m of school, no drinking/relaxing areas in the shop, no drinking in public areas including beaches

 

Let have some fun now...

Was alcohol recently listed a narcotic in Thailand? No. Your silly equivalence is just that... silly

no smoking/relaxing areas in dispensary

Why not, do you have any sensible reasoning behind this?

 

To appeal to the Thai people, I think smoking at home would be acceptable, but anywhere else absolutely would not. Thai's are very conservative or hadn't you noticed

Only sell it in dispensary type shops, no neon lights/party music/alcohol in dispensaries, no dispensary within 500m of school, no smoking/relaxing areas in dispensary, no smoking in public areas including beaches

How can the police possibly know after. afew hours that one of the deceased killed the others then took her own life? It is impossible to deduce that so quickly

The cannabis trade have only brought this upon themselves, bunch of idiots. Instead of keeping it low key and respectful like cannabis dispensaries in USA, they went full partytime let's all get wasted .

I personally couldn't be happier its going to back to way it was. out of sight

What a terrible terrible idea. Krabi was always a relatively peaceful place, now it sounds like it will become the Pattaya of the Andaman coast. Where's left to find a quiet part of Thailand?

This is the solution to over tourism is it, how does that work?

so it's pronounced "Penik Project"? just so I know
