  1. It's quite amazing how adverse Thai people are to raising prices. I guess the way the government has always subsidised most things for the people, price increases make it seem like you are attacking the customer. I've seen traders reduce portion sizes dramatically in order to not have to increase prices, even though that is effectively a price increase.
  2. "Don't tell your brother not to beat his wife! Who do you think you are? Mind your own business!" Gee I wonder why Top turned out as he did...
  3. More likely they're applying a cap to what casinos can charge locals, while foreigners will have no cap.
  4. Everything has a military theme due to it being an establishment where people strictly adhere to their roles and show absolute respect and obedience to those above them.
  5. I imagine the guy's a bit of a fruit cake.
  6. The brother is the one who set the poor woman on fire. And he did so simply because the husband asked her to get back with him, to which she said no.
  7. If I had a Baht for every time I heard this sentence... 💵💵💵
  8. "Oi mate! Av' ya' got any bloody som tam???"
  9. To be fair, unless the article says so, you can't know that she didn't. You only know that the article didn't say she did.
  10. Not their fault. The post is incorrectly titled.
  11. So the girl would help her boyfriend find and kill the other guy, but she wouldn't just black and ignore him???
  12. "Stop being mean about this Asian just because she's riding a non-road vehicle on the road and putting herself and everyone else in danger, she's not doing anything wrong. You should be worried about the non-Asians riding non-road vehicles on the road and putting themselves and everyone else in danger, they're doing something really wrong!" Think about it... 😉
  13. What's most amazing about this is that Thais are shocked in any way. This doesn't seem any more dangerous than most stuff you see on Thai roads.
  14. He fell over and felt stupid, so he took it out on the staff...
  15. Cut taxes, increase subsidies, more loans. This isn't going to end well. Wasn't it robbing from the rich and giving to the poor that got him in trouble the first time?
  16. Why coup? Thaksin is in bed with the military.
  17. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. I was merely pointing out how the left tries to control what people do through various dishonest means, and as such a left-wing person calling conservatives fascist is ridiculous.
  18. He's just in denial. The past 10 years has seen the passing of the king, economic and political challenges, covid, and the explosion of social media (and its effect on the youth), all of which have had a huge affect on Thailand. Safety is one of these types who has their self-esteem/ego pegged to their image of Thailand, so he can't allow himself to believe anything negative about the place.
  19. Yes, they should really be referred to as ladyboys. Ladyboys use the term themselves, as do most Thais. They aren't necessarily the same as what we would call a transgender person in the West, where the term is used, and it's important to know who is being spoken about when it comes to crime.
  20. So not actually anything specific to Thaksin's time as PM...
  21. The way Thai people drive is also the issue.
  22. They don't seem too bothered about reputation when it's Thais attacking foreigners...
