Which part of ” drunk” were you struggling to understand? If you have to invent something to support an argument then you don't have one

My point was that they should criminalize alcohol consumption instead of cannabis , as alcohol seems more dangerous .

Got it ?

The injured man, displaying symptoms that suggested intoxication, was unable to provide an account of what had transpired and seemed dazed, drunk, and confused.

Yeah , time to re-criminalize cannabis .

about 200 fleeing soldiers had congregated at a border crossing into Thailand on Thursday. Local news source, Khit Thit, reported that Thai authorities and the soldiers were in discussions about potentially granting them asylum.

Granting members of the burmese junta Asylum in Thailand ?

After what they did to their own people ?

Wake up Thailand !

Burmese Junta will ( hopefully ) lose their war soon , and will the new rulers in Myanmar like what Thailand did ?

Been a while in LOS, three decades to be exact. Until some years ago you could stroll along any beach, I don't recollect feeling tempted to always walk with a waste bag in hand to collect all the rubbish washed up on beaches.

 

Until some years ago, I don't recollect having been warned about PM2.5. Of course there was the slash and burn season. Now? The air in the places we all know is so bad, you can clean the floor daily and you still have a dark fingertip when checking the floor.

 

Oh, and I prefer to stay in a beach town which was rather sleepy until a few years ago. Meanwhile, there was so much development, when schools are off in the afternoon there are Bangkok-like traffic jams. It's a wild building frenzy. Of course, infrastructure is not expanded. The authorities just informed there is not enough water, so tabs are closed each day after 10 a.m.

 

Oh and of course hardly anyone in decision power cares about the future. There is hardly any awareness about the environment. Kids throw away ice tea cups and snack packings, because... who cares.

 

And especially now, in this heat with ample clear skies and burning sun, the authorities still don't make it a priority to feed the power grid with solar power. Cheap electricity: Thailand could run on it, but the vested interests love coal.

 

At least tourism arrival numbers are reaching record levels again... Thais get upset with rage tourists who are not too "krieng jai"... Thailand has become all about short-term profits, with zero vision about a sustainable future.

 Good post .

Time keeps on  slippin' into a dystopian future .

About everywhere , not only Thailand .

Be happy here , there are places that are much worse .

It is a pity that the next thai elections are still 3yrs away .

It is possible that the majority of thai voters does not like the game he played .

I hope that they won't forget until '27 ...

The burmese junta plundered all they could .

Now they realize that their time will come to an end .

Even the Rohingyas they murdered not a long time ago , shall serve in the army to save the junta .

Many of the junta invested in real estate in Thailand already to prepare for their future .

Because Thailand has no problem with monsters who kill their own population ,and steal elections with a military coup ,  as long as they have money .

Myanmar authorities used a chartered plane to fly things, believed to be cash, plus officials from Mae Sot airport to Yangon with Thai government’s permission ,

The rats are leaving the sinking ship .

With the complicity of Thai .

The only place for Burmese junta members is jail , or a coffin .

Canadair or chinese submarine ?

What is better for Thailand ?

and yet they came 4th on the buyer's list, one has to wonder where the money came from

Corrupt Myanmar military is losing their war , it seems .

Members of the regime who made their money exploiting Myanmar's resources ( or else ... ), want to prepare for a situation that they are not welcome any more in their own country .

They know what they did , and they fear the consequences .

Better to stay in Thailand then , many may think ...

enough of the hysterical references to genocide and holocaust. Neither of those are happening here.

In 6 months.  It is an amazing accomplishment that the IDF has kept casualties so low

Sure , there was no choice for Israel ... ?

But there was no will ...

Too much blood ...

This war could have been won by Israel with much less civilian casualties .

But indiscriminate bombing of whole areas instead of targeting specific subjects only , leads to just that .

Israel used it's huge military superiority for a genocide instead of targeted strikes , whole families have been killed .

The Israelis just have shown by the precise destruction of the Iranian consulate that they are capable of doing that .

It looks like the strike on the World Central Kitchen was such a targeted strike as well ...?

We will never know , because they would never admit it .

Israel only creates more hate , and that hate will last a long time .

They will win the war by military oppression , but they will never get peace like this .

Even if there would be a palestinian state in the future , I doubt that it would ever be a peaceful coexistence .

A ( palestinian ) holocaust is something to avoid when surrounded by arabian enemies  .

But , that is what they decided , it was the wrong decision , they will find out later ...

Nazi Germany wanted territorial expansion ... does Israel want this , too ?

The Holocaust by the Nazis is something Israel wants the world to always remember .

This ongoing genocide is something the world will always remember as well ...

Sad that it has come to this , but hate is a stronger feeling than empathy .

the Thai government aimed to change the policy to list marijuana back to an illicit substance type which would criminalize marijuana once again, bringing jail time for even small amounts of the plant,

This is what Thailand is famous for by now ;

Constant U-turns of policy even the policy has been a success .

Politicians who do not know about the consequences of their doing , but do it anyway ...

Everybody would laugh if it would not be so sad ...

How does some other country ever want to do some business with Thailand ...?

Thais are no reliable partners .

Maybe with the next government things will change ...?

Hope dies last .

Arrest warrant issued just after he came back from his " holiday " in England ...?

I think he knew that coming and he had another reason to urgently holiday abroad .

Where is his money now ?
