Floods during the wet season? Never.

Doubt it but the hardcore alcoholics would be well on their way. No balance in your comment just like there is no balance in the weed narrative.

I missed this bit which sort of answers my question about the rich but having said this I have on more than one occasion seen someone getting out of a Merc going into a store that accepts the blue card and using it. The rich (esp. the Chinese) will find a way to buy these tickets.

Pro-weed groups have been given no right to put forward their views. There was a ''public forum" where only the anti dope side was allowed to participate. The pro dope people want regulation not criminalisation. This is the correct way to go IMO and it's an opinion I have posted previously. There is absolutely no logic to take money out of the local market and push it back into the black market. The arguments coming from the govt. have not been supported by evidence, and what the impact of recriminalistion will be have, either not been studied or not been released to the public. Like something else we all know only one side of the narrative is being pushed.

We know you don't have enough money now for your retirement so why not spend some of what little you have on a 100,000,000+ to 1 long shot. Bt3000 p/m. That's about half of the base pension. The empty headed idiots that run the show here are an excellent example of the elitist system. All money and no brains. We'll take your money that you spend on tickets and keep it nice and safe for you. What could go wrong. Apart from this will it be means tested? Why should the rich be allowed to participate.

Government dept. says people highly satisfied with government. Fancy that.

These lotus tubs usually have fish in them that eat the larvae. This is your typical mozzie breeding ground in Thailand..... Aedes aegypti mosquito.

And next you'll say the Junta's Senate and it's legal apparatus i.e. the CC and the EC had nothing to do with it. We all know that the majority of Thais want change. This is one thing the last sham of an election showed. MFP won by a landslide victory. PTP jumped into bed with their sworn enemy, something they said they'd never do, and sold out their base support. How will the progressive movement here be stopped next time against the will of the people? I've got a fair idea how and it may very well happen before any next election.

Brilliant. Who runs the show on this site. Here's a headline they could go with ….. Free Food and Alcohol Available Yesterday For Everybody. Apply Three Months in Advance.

They say the cream rises to the top. The cream at the top here in Thailand is sour. Very sour indeed. Thailand is totally corrupt an run by idiots who are self perpetuating idiots and who maintain power through corruption and force.

Agree but sadly as I posted above this will not be allowed. Change can happen in a democracy (very, very limited choices these days globally I admit) but Thailand is not a democracy. What it is is just another extremely corrupt SE Asian nation. Until the power of the military and the orders from above are dissipated in line with a true civilian government and "fair and free elections" Thailand stays where it is.

I said quite some time ago that the tanks are being warmed up. Not many positive reactions to my previous posts. I stand by them. The scene is being set, albeit it slowly, and has been IMO well before the last election. The royalty, the military and the elite will not stand for progressive change in this country.

Most wines I think. Being an Aussie I hold our wine in the very highest regard. Thai 'wines' are not even worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence.

Sadly it does happen everywhere and sadly poorer countries are targeted. My personal opinion is rock spiders are mentally ill bit like mass murderers. There's something wrong upstairs. Pyromaniacs, kleptomaniacs the list is long. All have a mental illness of some sort. As for the world being fkd? It's is and it's getting (got a few yrs ago for sure) worse.

Whenever something like this happens the string 'em up people start posting "string 'em up". When I think of the capital punishment brigade my first thoughts are that they are from the great US of A. Hope this helped.

The only fine wines here have massive import taxes and duties on them which the govt said would be taken off.

Read my post a little closer. I'm saying more than likely the 1st poster to say the bloke should be executed will be from the mighty US of A. I'm obviously not saying the perp is from the USA.

Who's going to be the 1st to say execute him? Fair chance it will be an American. Yes this is very bad but it happens globally and in some religions and theocratic countries it's not a problem. Thailand had flags at 1/2 mast for the president of a country that hanged the victim of a rape and not the perp. The world is fkd.

Ok. Protect the children. I don't have a problem with that but leave the adults alone. The dope recriminalisation is the same. Pitiful. Again the only thing this will achieve is a bourgeoning black market. As for the children, who hasn't seen children (school age younger than 15???? ?) buying alcohol and smoking cigs.

Parliament House. The new one. Prayut spent the peoples money on this. Bt23,000,000,000. Buy a few subs for that. Oh wait.......!

Interestingly I haven't seen anything saying April was the hottest month on record (I'm fairly sure it was) and I reckon May may well be the wettest for a long time. Let's see what June holds and has the wet season actually started?

Jurassic Park Themed Exhibit.

Yes and that's criminal when you consider the billions of baht put into people's pockets collected through corruption. Same the world over. The system is absolutely fkd.

Well it didn't take long in my scrolling down to find a comment basically saying it's your own fault. The UK frozen pension system is fkd. Surely people have a right to their pensions where ever they are and at the current rate. On the one hand you have globalism and on the other you have no way we will not give our citizens living overseas the pension increase.
