Only a guess but I reckon 2 patrol boats or a frigate would come in at substantially less cost. A big load of money down the crapper which of course the initial purchase itself was.

Internal strife and political interference hinder Thai police reform High level corruption hinder Thai police reform

Poor education base and no industrial sector. A recipe for disaster.

Yep.Thaksin is behind the scene but so is the army and police. Much more money to be put into pockets if dope becomes illegal again. Yabba will spike and the pockets of the generals, cops and judges will start filling up faster. Just like the good ol' days.

True. And maybe people getting off yaba because they can smoke dope. Another positive for society.

The thing is this should spark action. Problem is who does the action. The corrupt to investigate the corrupt is the reality. There is no other way because the top of every institution in Thailand is bent. I do, however, hope this is very juicy and damning 'evidence'.

Two medically distinct viruses. Common cold is distinct from flu, flu is distinct from covid and all three are disticnt from each other.

The empty headed idiots are at it again. This is quite simply preposterous. Once again no real science is on didsplay here. Just a nonsence thought bubble proposed by idiots.

Is this not a benefit for society. It's how things wpork. Business has a product. Product is sold to consumer. Business makes some profit which is injected back into society. Car and motorcycle purchase for an example. Sales to minors should not be allowed though.

By drugs you must include alcohol. So a better world without alcohol? I think it would be a better world if all drugs were legal and there was no relgion.

This is just opinion. A person who smokes dope can very well function in society. People who smoke dope ARE NOT constantly stoned. A minority maybe.

Agree with kai dow mai soop I hope. Delicious meal and I like it best for breakfast. But sure there's nothing that special about it and the variations and quality are quite variable.

As opposed to the complete lack of the democratic system, where a party with the overwhelming amount of votes (some would say landslide) was denied it's democratic right to govern, by a corrupt unelected senate put in place by a military junta. Cannabis is not a threat to the nation. This is just a throw away polical line bereft an any factual basis.

At the request of Thailand, the Israeli government is urgently examining a photo depicting an Israeli soldier holding the Thai national flag in front of piles of debris. And this my friends is a picture of a tank.....

Initially "look how brave I am. I'll take on 3". Then...... "Sorry, sorry, I pay money, I pay etc.". What a complete loud mouth, self entitled <deleted>. Pity they didn't teach him a lesson.

For anyone with any doubts this is what a ChatGPT article reads like.

Chinese crooks. Well I never. I've been saying for decades China (CCP) is THE most dangerous. Make no mistake these people are directly or indirectly linked to the CCP.

It's someone who has (supposed) evidence against the RTP. Do you think this evidence has been provided by the Army? Interesting thought but I'm not sure the corrupt generals would want to start highlighting corruption at the highest levels. Remember there are levels above the RTP which are more corrupt. Again I say as I have for years on end this country is corrupt top to bottom. On the other hand there may be some veracity in what you say. They (military) might want these guys out of the way to insert their own stooges. Very interesting stuff indeed.

A very good read that one.

I hope they pass this progrissive bill in full. The "it will be harmful to society" argument is complete and utter nonsence. Question: Does this have to be passed by the senate?

If you took every corrupt official out of SE Asia the population would plummet. The entire region is very heavily corrupt.

but the suit pockets are absolutely stuffed full of money.

This will be very interesting. Hopefully someone has the goods on the military too. That would be a whole lot bigger than the top BIB. Clean out the senate and parliament of the corrupt and then possibly Thailand could start to move forward. The corrupt elites must be thinking very hard about all this. I said yesterday the police thing is only a very small portion of the tip of a very large iceberg.

A very good point.
