Thanks Russia and China... with an honorable mention for Big Joke.

Gold bars and gold ornaments do not typically have the same purity. That's why bars are slightly more.

Statistics clearly skewed taking into account the large number of prostitutes in Thailand. 1000s would not be unthinkable...

Now on the street to wreck more havoc... why hotels do this without police taking the necessary actions (arrest and deportation) is indicative of the larger issue of lax/lazy law enforcement

There are even poorer farmers in Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar who are also burning their fields. Again, it's not forest fires as most people understand it, but semi-controlled burns by locals (a lot of them). But wouldn't be surprised if some do get out of control. No one is going to do anything about any of this. There is no political will (anywhere). Just excuses and finger pointing.

It's not something I want or need to see. People are strange. Sadly many of them choose Thailand. To be fair this would be offensive in nearly every country on the planet.

That's an oddly specific number... Maybe if it takes long enough witness will die and disappear. Wouldn't that be convenient.

Given his decidedly ignorant handling of a 1000 baht disagreement, I'm willing to bet he consumed every bit of that 1000 baht in the form of alcoholic beverages 🍻 can only hope his foolishness will now cost him even more out of pocket in way of citations and fines. One can hope.

Make then rent a bus 😂

That's significant any way it cut it... the question is will anything change. I'm doubtful. Implementing long term strategies has never been Thailand's strength (there's always way too many conflicting interests and priorities among the stakeholders involved that can never be resolved to everyone's satisfaction), and that's what is needed.

Unfortunately all those minerals are in the air people breath 🥁

Another bizarre and avoidable story brought to you by the excessive consumption of alcohol.

Thailand proves once again to be one of the worse places to invest one's money... Even in the weed biz people (will eventually) lose their money in Thailand. Oh well, there is still prostitution, alcohol and gambling 😂

MOU 😂 sounds like another one of the PMs half baked sales job being overhyped again. MOUs aren't worth the paper they are written on... Just a quasi mutual admiration society putting on paper none binding discussions.

THA didn't ditch cash 😂 until I can no longer get cash from ATMs or money changers, it's not ditched. Plus, there are far too many poor people in the informal economy to making ditching imminent. Stop the scar mongering.

Populist giveaway that THA can't afford to undertake, nor will it lead to any real meaningful lasting economic change.

Let's be real... It's a billion dollar capital investment that employees about 50 on-site full-time... MS builds these centers to get closer to customers and address data access issues. They are HIGHLY automated (much of the management done remotely from India, etc.) and don't generate a lot of jobs for Thai people post opening. But Thailand will hype it (if it even happens - seeing as Thailand is not an IT skills strong work force; they can't even get their own apps and systems to function at a high level) as the next coming of Thailand's dominance 😂

It's is if you are a foreigner running a business in Thailand without permits.

Thailand has had gambling problems with its own people for decades... Thais have no self restraint. And will gamble until everything is lost. This gambling rush is going to be the curse no one paid attention to. Mark my words. But hey, at least the hi-so Thai developers will get rich 🙄

Chinese repression and stagnant economy, as well as Putin's warmonger is good for business. In an oversupplied condo market it's really interesting to see how people choose to invest.

I emigrated out of there years ago... Immigrated to Thailand. This is my home.

No such thing as a free lunch... Someone is paying and it will (if not now, eventually) be tourist (one way or another).

Poo-ket is a chit hole already... Too late. Should have thought about this long ago.

How about cracking down on all criminals... Is that really too much to ask... Nevermind 😂

Someone is gonna pay, cuz it ain't free.
