  1. If you keep taking eyes you end up with "the one eyed man is king among the blind."
  2. Let's not try to be too clever. You might get something wrong. It is extrajudicial not judicial and this was not extrajudicial. Thaksin's war on drugs involved extrajudicial killings.
  3. Who wins and who is the PM are two different things. The senate is crucial to either some sort of peace or a total revolt by the populice. Interesting really how the corrupt cronies in the senate will decide the near future of Thailand. I would not be suprised to see Prayut put back in as PM by his corrupt senate mates leading to mass disaffection leading to another coup. The milatary is in control and wants to keep that control. Will there be international obsevers for the election? Nup. No there will not be.
  4. A rant is in and of itself nonsensical albeit trying to make sense. LOL.
  5. I guess the point is why should we be forced to add to his YT views. Text some of it and link if anyone is interested and wants to continue. It's a forum after all. Not a youtube channel.
  6. It is illegal for teachers to hit students, however, kids can be as......sholes but so can teachers. Kids from the poor ones who haven't had much sleep to the rich spoilt one's who think their SDS to teachers who think they are just sooooooo good and they are the boss to the over stressed and under payed teachers. It's a complex situation. It's education. It's education in Thailand. No students fails (which is not no child left behind; UNICEF) is a big problem but of course the whole problem is massive. Sociological. behavioual, drugs, a corrupt system, one could go on. p.s. the youtube vid should be linked and this should be an article.
  7. I do wonder about it being a soup. Indian curries don't call for meat to be sealed rather the meat is often marinated e.g. chicken masala. Chicken masala is not a soup it's a curry. When I cook massaman I never seal the chicken (I only cook chicken massaman) and massaman is not a soup. It's a curry.
  8. Obviously not a stew and IMO nice but nothing to write home about. Massaman is superior but takes longer to make. As for stews, curries and casseroles they are all better the day after cooking. As for @Goatyes laksa is fantastic but it's a noodle soup so not a curry or stew. It's not too difficult to make. You can get the paste online, buy some egg noodles and make a good fish stock with some fresh fish heads the day before.
  9. Everyone posting seems to have missed the point of media bias. Problem is Thais are socialised to believe even the absurd. Ghosts for instance. Still wearing masks were there is no need to. This whole thing about legalisation is about politics, the conservative right, the Buddhist lobby and keeping the mushrooms in the dark and feeding them s.... . I have seen absolutely nothing based on the science of marijuana being a narcotic or not. Even the WHO has downgraded it.
  10. There is one requirement which is the minimum requirement. All girls (or maybe not girls) must have at the very least a nose job.
  11. Fantastic journalism. Great story. Well done. World wide investigative journalism is a sought after position. The journo on this one is well on their way.
  12. Thailand welcomes Russian refugees Rate this topic By webfact, Thursday at 03:14 AM in Thailand News @dinsdale Refugee? Technically. Maybe. Reality? Rich Russians who can afford to get out. The true refugees in Russia are the politically persecuted. How manty of them are here is only speculation as is how many have added to the number of Russian mafia pre-pandemic. Anyone that lives in Thailand knows about Russian mafia.
  13. Phuket, Pattaya, Europe. What's your point on a thraed about Thailand where this buying spree is pushing prices of condos and holiday villas, particularly in Phuket, sky high?
  14. Refugees buying up condos. Tis a strange world we live in.
  15. Omicron infection was 20 or so months after my last jab so I don't think the vax had much to do with it.
  16. You say impairment I say being layed back/relaxed.
  17. People drive slower when they've had a smoke of the herb not faster.
  18. I've had 2 shots (both AZ 2nd jab mid oct 2021) and covid twice. 1st time delta 2nd time omicron. Not too bad really. Delta about 3 days not real good and Omicron not so good for a day then it started to subside. By day 3 with omicron only symptom was tiredness. No way I'm getting jabbed again. No need. People are still wearing masks. I don't get it.
  19. Plenty do. If it wasn't for the Chinese I'm guessing it would be business as usual. Thailand is corrupt top to bottom. Corruption here is endemic and part of the culture. Many years ago some papers in let's just say a government agency couldn't be found. By 'mistake' I left some money under some other docs of mine, went out to get something to drink, came back, money gone; papers found.
  20. Well there will be a lot of people who do not have the required amount of money for retirement or marriage visas in a tight spot. Please no replies saying they should have the money or they should go home. We do not know others situations. The point is their situation may now have become tenuous.
  21. Northern, Northeastern (Issan), Cental, Western, Eastern, and Southern are the six regions of Thailand. Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), the gateway to Issan, is considered to be in the NE region.
  22. Driving instructor.......jail. If the driver was lets say the hier to a drinks company they would already be out of the country.
  23. It's not fake news. It's a fake poll.
