How long will this story go on ...?

He can , maybe , fool people once ... but it won't always work .

 

The people are too lethargic to do anything about it.

..drugs are a bit like war: you get into it, but getting out of it is a different kettle of fish. to be honest, legalizing cannabis may not have been such a great idea if you want to combat drug use at all.

Cannabis in itself can be used for many benefits, however for others it is a stepping stone to other drugs and the slippery slope to self destruction.

None of the problems that existed long before covid have been addressed. It was a perfect opportunity to do a full reset. However, the hubris, the arrogance and the absolute insistence on believing that Thailand is not only the center of the universe, but the most important and desirable tourist destination in the world, has seemingly prevented the goons from doing anything worthwhile. 

 

Thailand is making only very minor improvements, and continues to move backwards. The army, and the goons leading the nation do not have a clue. It is all about worshiping the golden calf of money. 

Thailand re-opened post Covid, doing exactly what it did pre-Covid... the same tired old venues, same old routines, same old walking streets, same old Sois, same old girls, same old rip-offs.

Some people come once but don't return, backpackers like it and return, others realise Japan, Korea Taiwan, Malaysia have a lot more to offer with better quality and hospitality.

Unless your mask is N95 or better, my understanding is that masks do not prevent you from getting COVID but rather from spreading it to others.

I wasn't talking about Covid.

Huge amounts of money will be offered way too tempting to reject.  I bet casinos are coming soon.

Another location for the CCP to launder money

I would have thought politics and corruption would have been top of their worries.

A decent forward thinking government would sort out all the other troubles.

Could there be even a single person in Thailand  who buys the ongoing sick story?

 

The only buyers seem to be the lap dog media...

And the northern red shirt brigade who live in the past

According to Warong's Facebook post on Sunday, he received information from a reliable source that Thaksin was hospitalized on Saturday night.

 

Warong speculated that Thaksin's hospital stay could serve as grounds for him not reporting to public prosecutors on Tuesday, when he is scheduled to appear in the Criminal Court for arraignment in the lese majeste case

Here we go, from Dubai to hospital bed to evade prison, to gallivanting around the country, back to hospital bed to evade court hearing..
