  1. I'm fairly sure this woman knew exactly what she meant but was on a mini crusade. Lady Hussey lost her temper and the rest is history. ????‍♂️
  2. They should feel lucky. They got to experience the "real authentic Thailand" that everyone talks about wanting to see when holidaying there. With front row seats!
  3. It would be far more effective to try and adjust the way in which women and girls are viewed in Thai society.
  4. Because it's all about people knowing that it happens and the effect it has on Thailand's reputation.
  5. Apparently you're not a "real man" unless you don't mind your wife disappearing in the middle of the night to go drinking! ????‍♂️ This obviously shows some issues with their relationship that run a lot deeper than simply the going out, and they probably shouldn't really be together, but, IMO at least, there's nothing wrong with not wanting your wife to go out drinking without you at midnight.
  6. She only knew her husband for five months? It kind of sounds like he had reason to object to her going out... ????
  7. Do you think America is the only country that dislikes the behaviour of Russia and China and will think badly of Thailand for supporting them?
  8. Not quite. They've shown clear support for Russia and China. This might seem like it doesn't matter, but it will have some consequences. If Thailand cannot condemn countries that do evil things, and even supports them, that is the reputation it will have. Not really. In the short term, for things like military deals and tourism, it might be beneficial. But long-term, it is only going to slow Thailand's progress in terms of having a positive global presence and finding cooperation from liberal states. It's quite negative for the average citizen also.
  9. Does anyone need to tell them to do so? Or is it done as part of the normal police response? If the UK police didn't do anything about it like they do in Thailand, Thai embassies would be "calling the UK government to account".
  10. So is it a thud or a crash? A few wholes in this story if you ask me... ????
  11. That never seems to work. I wonder why they didn't wait the customary 24 hours to see if he would calm down and give himself up... ????
  12. Couldn't it have originally complied with the law but that distance has closed due to erosion?
  13. That doesn't add anything to the comment I was replying to. ????‍♂️
  14. It's just an affectionate way to refer to the fact that business in Thailand is generally controlled by bribery, corruption and the threat of violence.
  15. The speedboat operator could encourage tourists to use his services instead of those of the beach chair operator. You cannot sit in a beach chair and a speed boat at the same time. After taking a trip on the speedboat, tourists might also choose to head back to their hotel, whereas if they had sat on a beach chair, they might have spent most of the day there.
  16. Can you explain? It seems like a dead child is a dead child, whether they drown or are shot.
