    He'll be back.

    Bangkok Post is reporting that Big Joke has admitted to paying off reporters who covered his activities.

    Actually, it is beneficial for me when I'm waiting to see a physician and having trouble hearing in the waiting room. They call out "mister" and I don't need to worry about them having trouble pronouncing my name. I know it is I.

    They'll take it all back with a vengeance in April and May.

    Imagine Al Capone and Frank Nitti starting up a barbershop quartet with Elliot Ness and J. Edgar.

    To think, this is the same guy who blamed crime rates on motorcycle gangs using retirement extensions.

    Sounds like heaven.

    If Sherrings wants to drum up customers on AN, they should take out an advertisement.

    Got everything I need right here. Haven't left since 2016. Would like to go to Laos. But can get a similar experience in Thailand. I won't leave.
  10. John Drake
    Fine with me. I just won't leave.

    If it's about remittances, then you could get a US tax refund only to have Thailand tax that, too. Or non-taxable things like a covid stimulus.

    Already tired of seeing that <deleted> eatin' grin.

    Where they going to poach money from next?

    After nine years, people forgot just what a fiasco the last PTP government was. Prayuth looks like George Washington in comparison.
  15. John Drake
    "Somebody" told him to do it, and he said, "yes." That's how he governs.
  16. John Drake
    I've been saying this since right before the election. PTP is anti Western. Prayuth just wanted to keep the old system going, where everybody knew the rules of graft and could suck out their "fair share." New guy is going to hoard it all for himself. and cronies and invent new ways to grab more. I think he's making lots of enemies, especially among Thai big shots that count. This tax measure will be walked back.

    I always thought that Prayuth was BJ's protector. Early on, I wondered where he stood with the new crowd and what would happen with Prayuth gone. Apparently, now we know.

    You will need to click on the link for the complete story. It's towards the bottom, there.

    I have to pay out of my own pocket to repair the sidewalk outside my house.
  20. John Drake
    Yes, you need to export a lot more. Need much more weakness in the baht.

    I certainly hope this puts an end to his recommendations for the government to increase immigration income/money in the bank for retirement extensions.
  22. John Drake
    There really is no need for people to constantly bring up comparisons to the US and the UK. It's tiresome and off topic. This is Thailand. You don't need to see everything through American/British glasses.
  23. John Drake
    Singapore.

    This is some funny stuff. I remember when similar instances took place under Yingluck. Police arrived and "negotiated" with suspects, giving them plenty of time to dispose of any evidence. Not saying this is true of BJ. As we all know, this guy is super clean and a credit to the force. Everybody on AN tells me so. So it must be true. BTW "he'll be back."

    Srettha apparently says "yes" to everything, and then needs to walk it back as soon as the calamity becomes obvious. It will happen with this, too.
