If a 14 year old is living alone in rented accommodation, it's safe to say that multiple people have failed her, probably even Thai society as a whole.

We've all known since the beginning that Western carried covid is more dangerous, more numerous and more contagious than Thai/Asian carried covid, even where the variant is identical. That's (racist) virology 101.

Certainly sounds like hassle. He just wasn't too bothered by the hassle, this time.

Incredible. "Becoming more conservative as you get older" is about being more socially conservative, not becoming more fond of the "conservative party". What a waste of an article. ????

I'm not sure what your point is. If it was a Pit Bull, it probably would have been worse, and the fact that a non-Pit Bull dog can catch rabies, go crazy, and bite a load of people, does not stop Pit Bulls from being more dangerous. People will, of course, discuss how dangerous it is to have street dogs roaming the street generally (even non-Pit Bulls), but that won't lead to pages of argument as it doesn't trigger Pit Bull appreciators who believe them to be no more dangerous than a Labrador.

Absolutely. I didn't say it was necessarily a justification for people playing loud music and terrorising others.

?? I thought that was an interesting turn of phrase also. Based on the meanings of the words, she was "spreading out over a large area in an untidy or irregular way" "without realizing or being aware of [her] actions". So, it's possible, but a very odd thing to point out. Perhaps they were going for "sprawled out unconscious".

Presumably, once you return home you register. Doctor, voter's register, and so on.

I don't believe you. When I searched, the results show many results that explain, psychologically/physiologically, why listening to loud music is pleasurable.

It did, but they were marred by straight bananas, unfettered immigration and an overall lack of parliamentary sovereignty. (/s)

You want them to, but they won't.

Hasn't that been the case pretty much all along with the vaccine? I'm mystified as to why you would single out Faucci when saying something that is common knowledge.

Or they wisely waited until at the least the vaccine rolled out and the disease became less lethal. There was no "We thought lockdowns helped but now we realised they don't", because they definitely did.

I'm not in any hurry to go there. I've been to Krabi. Beaches are nice, but they don't sound like the nicest parts of Thailand. They actually sound like the worst.

And will probably end in a similar way if it does.

Actually, the protests were tolerated mostly, only escalating into teargassing when they refused to disperse. Also only the leaders were arrested.

A pretty strong message of instructing Thais not to trust other Thais. Seems to be at odds with the general narrative taught in schools.

I hear it's nicer to look at than BKK with the mountains and such, but in my admittedly very short time there, it seemed very touristy and rip-offy. Possibly the least friendly and most glary area I have visited in Thailand also. Perhaps it is the kind of tourist town where the locals dislike the tourists, reluctantly put up with them for their money, and try to gouge them whenever they can, much to the disappointment of the "ex-pat community" (who generally despise tourists/other foreigners).

It's been around for a while. You can look it up if you aren't aware of its meaning. Quite the opposite. As I said, look it up.

Whataboutism. Ad-hom. What is RBSC? Royal Bangkok Sports Club comes up when I Google the initialism with "Thailand". What would that even prove? That a few very wealthy high-class Thai people read? That actually supports the comment you are trying to disagree with, rather than disputing it. When people generalise about "Thai people", they aren't thinking of the hiso minority. Hence they are always labelled as such when they are the topic of discussion.

I don't get that, unfortunately. I did copy and paste it into google, but the result was a little inconclusive.

What's a Puch bike?

You'll need to provide a little more than the statistics from members of a library to do that. "Thai people who are members of a library like to read a lot" does not mean much for Thailand overall. What percentage of Thais are members of a library?

Not necessarily. Other people can mess up your plans pretty badly in a number of ways and it can be very much their fault.
