You can't criticise poor hotel service/standards or you get charged with defamation, now you can't criticise the because it may damage the country's "reputation"? 

 

What next? Getting banged up for criticising Thaksin? Oh, stop, no, I never said that, sorry, I was drunk/stoned on marijuana,  and I'll never do it again!

 

Speaking hypothetically, criticism is one thing. It's another when, say, people make public admissions of bribery and sexual exploitation.

That maybe, but he thinks he is the big I am in Thailand, an expat on a tourist visa!

A few have tried to give him decent advice (me included) but he thinks he knows best, he doesn't! And still doesn't with his current videos.

Good first post. There seem to be a lot of people who come into Thailand new and, having heard stories about corruption and bribery, think they'll just fit themselves right in. Little do they realize they are stepping on other people's turf and making enemies. It's also a problem, I think, when someone posts narcissistic youtube videos bragging about sexual predation. Anyone like that is going to step in it.

Don't give up your day job son.

I think his application for a cannabis license just went up in smoke.

they are very unhappy with the state of affairs.  climate change. no jobs, affordable housing. the world is a real s^^^ show now if your young and broke.

So why come to Thailand and take out their rage on Thai people that have nothing to do with their situation and who, for the most part, live in much more dire circumstances than they do? There should be immediate consequences for these violent acts: jail, fines, deportation, blacklist.

Cops come so you lock yourself in the bathroom.

Did he think he could escape by jumping in the crapper and flushing himself away  

 

Maybe just savoring those very last moments of freedom.

Jeezus! He should run, not walk to the nearest airport and get out while he can.

the videos still exist... not deleted... he  'unlist' them

 

but easy to find...

Watching it, I had to turn on the subtitles to understand what he was saying. After viewing, I'd say he has a string of defamation suits coming his way. Best to get out of Dodge right now.

It baffles me why people come to Thailand and enjoy all that it has to offer then post negativity. 

 

It's confusing, this strange behaviour is quite common. 

Maybe these people are attention seekers, similar to those on OnlyFans, the Jerry Springer type. 

 

 

 

I do wonder if this video is going to help him, what with him walking around the entire time with a smirk on his face.

Nevertheless, a senior officer from the national Tourist Police headquarters stated the existing evidence would be forwarded to the Immigration Police for further action, implying that Mr. Thomas has already violated Thai law.

Wonder what type visa/extension he has. Clearly not eligible for a retirement extension, hope to God he's not a teacher, and I don't think there is a Youtuber visa.

Finally!

 

Time for the precious snowflakes to learn that actions have consequences. Now, if I were the university administration, I would have taken a different path. Once the encampment was set up, I would have built a wall or fence around it. Not let anyone enter or leave. Not let anyone pass anything back and forth. Basically, let them wither on the vine. Guarantee that within 24 hours of being without their Starbucks Pumpkin Cinnamon Latte they would be screaming to be let out. It worked great in Germany when a group trespassed at the Porche Museum.

King Slutzky apparently will not be getting the food catering service she demanded.

Faculty who interfered with police need to be arrested and lose tenure. All these people must go on the No Fly List. They have openly identified themselves with and supported Hamas, a terror organization. Letting them on commercial aircraft could bring about another 9/11.

Sorry. In the Thai universe, this is penny-ante stuff. I'm surprised anybody noticed.

Hate to say it too, but ever since the change everything has gone to sh*t! 

My view right before the election was that PTP/Thaksin were the supreme campaigners and political maneuverers. And it's true. Nobody in Thailand can compare to them. They run circles around everyone else. I also feared, however, that PTP grabbing power would be bad for expatriates in particular. Prayuth basically left immigration alone--just the 400K year round maintenance, I think. He was a status quo politician. And for me, that's what I want. No changes. Now we're getting changes galore, and I can't see anywhere it's for the better, not only for expatriates but for average Thai people. And ultimately, it's their interests that count. And I think Prayuth was better. I now look at 2021 to 2022 as a sort of Golden Age in Thailand.

If you guys constantly fixate on the weather, you're going to feel miserable.

Just would like to see a few showers to cool off the roof tiles.

Prayuth was better.

Which ones have been so badly set up, then, that justify your sarcastic broad brush assertion?

Wait until Srettha taxes that charm school you operate.

Yeah, he and the fat one emptied the pot that Srettha & Co are trying to refill... 

Never mind, Thaksin will help all the poor people again soon, with scarps from the masters table.

Everything was better: immigration, no taxes on foreign income, no open door for Russians and Chinese, and now this new parcel tax. Hell, even Thai foreign policy was better balanced between China and the West.

Googled this as never heard of a punkha before. Couldn't find any available on-line. Let me know where you bought yours.

Some even come with a punkha wallah.
