Where did I say that this means “need money for a snack”? I’m very well aware it’s code for sex services, but that doesn’t mean that Thai social media is full of child prostitution. I never said it doesn’t exist. What I said is that: while Thai social media may be full of girls offering their services, I highly doubt it’s full of children being offered for sex.

That’s nonsense. You’re confusing legislature, executive and judiciary. I didn’t express any position which I would have to defend. I stated a fact. Don’t blame me for what others created. Start a petition or a protest if you don’t like that the laws don’t contain any of the excuses or exceptions that you wanna see.

The term รับงาน is completely innocent as it is the general term for looking for work/a job. It’s certainly being used by girls looking for work as a freelancer or similar, but it’s also (and probably more often) used by anyone else looking for work whether that’s being a cleaner or a tutor or a sales staff.

Because the law says so, whether you disagree or not.

I call this nonsense. Social media sites these days are very active against these issues, and they have very capable content moderation teams, including AI. It would also be incredibly stupid for a pimp to post this online for the police to easily track him down by his IP address. Human trafficking certainly exists in Thailand, but I doubt it happens in your face like this.

“special girl”? I didn’t know there’s a code word for ordering someone underage.

Load of nonsense. It’s your responsibility to obey the laws and not have sex with kids.

I never felt a chick coming to my place for Netflix and chill paid for sex just because she had some expenses.

Nope. You’re wrong. It would be still completely irrelevant.

It doesn’t matter what you think. If we were to take every nonsense that people think seriously, we would be living on a flat earth ruled by reptiloids who put chips in your arm. We must not forgive him. Though it seems you’re using him to excuse underage prostitution, in the typical Whataboutism fashion.

Completely irrelevant.

Completely irrelevant.

Why would millions of Chinese tourists give a damn about a couple of druggies stupid enough to commit a crime in a foreign country? Did millions of tourists stop going to Bali after they caught those heroin smuggling begpackers?

So you finally got it that this announcement is nothing to moan and whine about. Congrats. It felt like I was talking to one given how you were throwing a tantrum about something that’s neither an issue nor unlikely to affect you anyway as I doubt you’d have 1m to invest here.

You trying to speak for everyone else doesn’t change the fact that you’re wrong — laws can and do change everywhere. All I can see is that you’re so butt hurt about being wrong that you’re desperately trying to speak for others to make up for your own lack of arguments, and calling names that you can’t even explain. But again, it doesn’t change the fact that laws can and do change in every country.

You also don’t know what the laws in the US or EU will be in 5 years.

I don’t know what a “Thai apologist” is and I’m not wrong: Laws are being reviewed and can change in every country. The one “completely wrong” is you if you really thought that thats is only the case for “a red light at an intersection”.

That wasn’t the point of criticism. The point of criticism was that laws can change, which they can and do in every country. Where does it say that land ownership is being reviewed after 5 years? The law is being reviewed, that doesn’t mean that your ownership of already acquired land is also being reviewed.

Shall we stay on topic?

1) What does this have to do with investors? The law is about land ownership for residential purpose. 2) What “uncertainty” exactly do investors not like that wasn’t there already but is being “introduced” here? Investors know that laws can always change.

How is that different from the US, the EU, or any other country? I have yet to find that one country where magically there’s an insurance for never-changing laws.

It doesn’t matter. She caused someone damage, so she is liable for it. It was her fault more than it was the hotel’s fault. That’s why insurance exists.

Any reliable source confirming that it’s not a risk? I don’t know. I don’t see how that’s relevant. But you’re not saying that something poses a risk only when you have heard of an incident, do you?

That statement is at least exaggerated. The current situation in Europe does not “show” that Thailand is some little economical and political wonderland. You can’t compare Europe with Thailand during a (hopefully) once-in-lifetime war. Shít can hit the fan here too; it did during the Tom Yum Goong crisis. Bad times pass, and then Europe scores much better for many people in many regards. Ask the average retiree about his health insurance situation. Thailand’s economy also isn’t “basically autark” either. 20% is tourism, another big portion is international manufacturing. Having an “autark” economy is a pipe dream. Ask Russia and North Korea, even if they don’t wanna admit it. You can’t have an autark economy and enjoy wealth and growth at the same time. i agree to the rest of your statement. Thailand is a great place to be, for me personally and I believe for many expats living here, despite their constant moaning.

That’s not a fact but barstool nonsense.
