arrested 3 weeks later on suspicion... wouldn't be surprised if the RTP got it wrong.

Would like to know what visa he held. Non-B presumably (if the club he worked at was above board -- else they should penalize the club too). Wouldn't be surprised if it was an elite privilege visa.

It's great when it works (is available)... the tm47 is the least of the problem... it's the tm30 that's a pain

legal for now... just don't get caught smoking in the wrong place... and even if the gov't decides to revert the laws, there will never be a shortage of ganja in Thailand...

No confidence debate and vote coming soon...

Probably the children of police officers...

Nope. Only about 15% of Thai farmers have formal contracts with agribusinesses. Most Thai farmers are independent smallholders, owning and operating their own land (source: World Bank). The reality is far more complex, with the majority of farmers being independent smallholders. Again, these farmers choose to burn based on their own cost-benefit calculations and limited access to alternatives.

a better headline would have been "Policeman posing as deranged unlicensed beer seller wields knife to increase sales"

Outrage seems to be a form of entrainment for netizens.. or just virtue signaling... one thing for sure its contagious 🤣

A little less talk, a little more action, please. Truth is farmers have to burn. Many Thai farmers, especially in rural areas, lack access to modern and cost-effective equipment for land clearing (and using people or cattle to clear is slow and ineffective especially when you are trying to turnover fields to plant sooner). Burning is the inexpensive option, and saves time and resources. You want to fix that, bring your checkbook Mr. PM. But more education of poor farmers ain't gonna help one bit.

Anyone who lets an unpaid fee for beach chairs escalate to an arrest really needs to reexamine their own lives.

That's a slap in the face to the current PM

so many scared old men fearing ganja is the end of humanity... LOL... yet if you are not smoking weed, you are probably a tobacco smoking, out of shape, booze hound with a poor diet and far too many subscription medications #classic

there is no accounting for cultural sensitivity and self awareness... but this is only news if they where asked to behave according to local customs, and then refused.

Sadly, self awareness is not a distinctive trait of many Thai people.

This is far from over... they will flip flop on this for months... But if I was one of the early investors in brick and mortar dispensaries, I'd be worried about my investment.

Sounds like 80% of ALL men in Thailand (Thais included)... Angry and perverted.

If there where ever 2 people that didn't deserve a free ambulance and rescue service, it would be these 2 clowns

I could very well be wrong... but the still images in the article look like the same images from video I saw on ThaiRath32 last night... where it looked like a woman jumped into the pool on her own accord and (seemingly) drowned herself as a man stood on the edge of the pool and watched.

Confusing as the article from Vino News says "The new tax measures will take effect shortly and will last until end of the year, according to the Thai government." As some else said, I've believe when I see it for myself.

It's bad enough with the escalation of Thais toting and brandishing firearms... But when foreigners are emboldened to take the same path, Thailand is going to have to finally admit they have a gun problem.

Once, nice. Better than never. But even a broken clock is right twice a day.

“Convenient, fast, safe, impressive.” said no one, ever, about Thailand's bureau of immigration... but it's good to have goals.

Just another day in poo-ket paradise... what you need to try to do is try to outwit them... i would have just rolled all the rear windows down. Stay tuned as the PM plans a trip to the island to get to the bottom of this, and issues a directive to taxi drivers to "be nice"

A clown dressing like a clown... nothing to see here.
