do you always preach so much? live your life the way you want and please dont quote me to push your life views across thank you

thais are masters at keeping it to themselves and this is why when they blow up it is out of proportion. i call it dealing with problems as it comes. if you disrespect others and no one ever tells you then you will assume it is ok and you will never do any introspection. everyone needs to be called out when they are disrespectful of others. your liberty stops where mine starts i was taught as a kid

i would like to say: "before, when I was in canada...20 some years ago people would let the first ones in queue go to a newly opened cashier simply because it was their turn..." but in today's society, back in the west, i am not so sure people do that anymore. much has changed im my 20ish years here, so i am not in a position to be holier than thou.... but from what i hear, GenZ is not doing so well in regards to mannerisms. sad world we live in. I still try to preserve some resemblance of western politeness here, but i find it difficult to do at times. I am not sure I would fare better in my country anymore. I think a lot has to do with the way the newest generations are being brought up...

when i first got here in the very early 2000's, i went to a post office and an old lady rudely cut in front of me in the queue. i was really angry, but my then gf told me my pen rai... chai yen yen. -->relax take it easy. now, if anyone does this i learned the very useful phrase--> ko tod krup, khun mai mee marayat krup... translate: excuse me, you have bad manners and i make sure i keep my queue but what gets me the most is when a cashier opens because of long queues and people rush to be first rather than letting those who should go first do so. about this one... nothing you can do...

what a mess... trump avoided answering direct questions and seemed to be lying and biden looked dazed and didnt pick up on these lies... omg... where are we going next november? imho... lose lose... the dems need a new leader and trump is a no go so both parties need new candidates

Top down solution. Get rid of the old fossils that are the headmasters and program coordinators who know nothing. Dont be afraid to put foreigners with the proper qualifications ( not online degrees, online pgce's, online and even thai uni master's degrees) Make sure newly hired thai teachers meet decent level english proficiency requirements. Fail the kids who deserve to be failed for a lack of effort and achievement Have clearly defined and enforcable discipline policies that are implemented nationwide. Get problem students the meds (if applicable) and help/support they need Make classes a manageable 25 students per class Pay the teachers a reasonable wage. No long term foreign teacher can live here and prepare a retirement on 35-40k a month and same goes for thai teachers. 10-15k a month is hardly an incentive to attract bright minds

This neng character seemd to have been a real plug in life. No one deserves being murdered... but some people are just born jackarses

PPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!! 🤣 You deserve the all time global naive award!!!! When's the last time you been to pattaya immi? Did you ever go when he was the head? I did... Only reason people then and now were able to use agents to get retirement visa without the 800k IS because the pigs were corrupted, even under big joke If your gonna fart in the water make sure your bowels are empty. WOW... your best one so far

Geeeeez... with the digital wallet and now this... i really hope to see the bht go BOOM 🧨🎆

Seems he has inherited billions from family in law. I guess he really doesnt want to share any of the pie... gambling money/inheritance or not. I hope he goes away. I actually hope they all go away. This banana republic makes Mexico look good.

They prolly are happy because of the declassification of weed as a narcotic. But judging by today's news and the gvt's (taxsin's) desire to reclassify it, this joy might be short lived

Another poll manipulated and mediatised to brainwash people into believing what the taxin war on drugs wants it to. It seems like putting potheads in jail is good for business. I do not smoke, nor consume marijuana in any shape or form anymore for health reasons, nor do i drink booze. But i wish i could. It is a relaxing herb, and i fail to see how making it illegal again will benefit anyone. I am actually glad i stopped booze. I did more stupid thing on booze than weed. And dhdn i did stupid things on weed, i usually drank alcohol. So, i know first hand what is at stake here. Those who believe that it makes people commit crimes... you should look at the blood level alcohol and whether any meth is found in the blood of those accused of commiting crimes while high on weed. But it is much easier to blame pot when you have a zero tolerance to things that are difficult to tax due to the ease of growing it at home. It is much easier to support addictive activities that destroy families like gambling, booze,and cigarretes (cancer, emphyzema and COPD causing drug) because they can easily be taxed. I despise the nazi-dinosaur idealists who still believe a pothead desrverves to be in jail with hardened criminals.

AN grumpy old man announces new OP "WHO CARES!"

Yeah, if it wasnt clear to some before, it should be now. He is still the puppet master. His paty's budget will no doubt be supported by the taxes they intend go levy... foreign taxes that is...

Funny, he was balling for the conflict in ukraine to stop fearing that if it continued it would affect the global food chain. Yet, he sides with Putin and refused to sign the recent petition against russia. I guess its clear he wants to buy his wheat to make thai mama noodles from russia. Clown face needs to leave and take all his clowns with him, being led by the elephant in the room... taxsin

Believe what you want... i dont care In this whole debate, the initial meaning got lost in translation. He is a corrupt cop. Thats it, nothing else. Some brlieve innocently that it is his vocation and he is as pure as the day he was born. Believe that if you want. Cops in thailand are dirty. You think this guy and his team are good? Up to you... keep on dreaming BREAKING NEWS In a decisive move, the Police Commission unanimously voted, 12-0, to approve the dismissal of Deputy Police Chief Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn. This endorsement follows Acting National Police Chief Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet's contentious removal order I guess he is bring abandoned by all his buddies... bye bye big joke

what could possibly go wrong? thai it skills are up to it, right?

i did read... interesting... all the info about his money just reinforces my belief in his corruption and hunger for power. you guys know this idiom? Power Corrupts?... why you believe he is good is beyond understanding, and why you stand up for him is even more unfathomable. time will tell in the meantime you can continue admiring someone who stands for the very corrupt establishment reasonable foreigners and thais alike despise. note, i did emphasise reasonable which you clearly are not. that, or you simply are sycophants

been here more than 2 decades, and been getting my news on TV, AN and now whatever this site is called for just as long. the distrust in the police force has been making headlines here as long as i have been here... even longer if i trust my thai friends. so, will it ever change? nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

as a wise person once said, 'famous last words'

that could explain the smurf's color...

the heroic and diligent budtender sh!tes his pants turning weed to hash

no, as usual you are🙏

and you are biased in his favor. wht on earth? who knows. but i am willing to bet that i am more likely right. but... you said he joined because it is his vocation. was he rich at the time he joined? or did he join because of the potential of spoils. when i brought this up you shut up just like a clam. 'because i said so' is the weakest argument there is

and you really believe this? i believe where there is smoke... did he have money in his early 20's when he likely joined?
