This is why the WHO says Thai women are the second most obese in Asia. When I first came to live here more than 20 years ago, most Thai women were very slim. Very attractive. Now, the average Thai woman on Thai dating websites is about 157 centimeters and 65-70 kilos. And more than a few of these fat pigs say they are looking for a "sugar daddy."

This happened to me in Bangkok several years ago. I ended up with a deep cut in my forehead that was bleeding profusely, and I needed to go to an emergency room. Even worse, there were two cops on a motorcycle across the soi who saw the whole thing and laughed and drove away. The next day I went back with a hammer and pounded the metal sign until half of it was destroyed as a bunch of stunned shop owners looked on.

According to Coconuts, the girl's mother said he gave her daughter an STI. And, a supervisor at another school said the teacher was forced to resign after several instances of inappropriate remarks and interactions with students.

Most youth that uses Hitler/Nazism symbols don't know much or at all the true meaning of those acts, they use it to express their own frustrations with either society or their poor life's choice.

That is such freaking nonsense. Hitler is often portrayed in Thailand as a "strong leader," and Thais use these symbols to show that's what they admire. Just a few years back there was a school here that held a parade in which all the students were dressed up as Nazis. No one was expressing societal frustrations. They were having "fun." Including the principal and teachers.

The poor child. Neuter the dog, as should happen with all soi dogs, and he may not be aggressive anymore. I blame the dog owner and the cement company. They should remove the dogs, but I honestly don't know what should be done with them. The BMA caught and took away most soi dogs a few years ago. Sadly, they just dumped them in some huge outdoor pen somewhere upcountry and let them starve to death. And of course they horrifically began attacking and eating each other because they were starving. There has to be a more humane solution than that.

Anyone with a man bun, fisherman's pants and no shoes deserves to get busted.

History of Thailand has shown nothing but corruption and greed, the top position is the key to self enrichment. Whoever has got there has taken the wealth as if it's there own.

Not cascaded it down to the lower levels.

This government in six years has widened the wealth gap, got rid of all opposition and closed any avenue of protest.

Time for a change as the youth are not having any more, they are sick of the corruption.

 

All Thai governments have been corrupt, but some much more so than others. Chuan Leekpai was a lawyer with a very small bank account when he became Prime Minister, both times. And when he left office, he wasn't any richer than when he arrived.

I've met Anutin. I know people who've known him a long time. He doesn't hate foreigners. So, he lost his temper. He's actually a pretty good guy. I'm sure just about everyone posting here has said worse things about Thais on many more occasions than he has said about falangs on one occasion. You just have to read the posts here on any given day to see what absolute racist dicks most ThaiVisa posters are. i hardly ever comment here because ThaiVisa is such a disgraceful <deleted>hole full of Thailand-hating <deleted>.

I am going to say something that most posters here don't want to hear, but it is the truth. The online petition and the coverage in the Bangkok Post and other English-language papers were not the main reasons the government acted on this. Most Cabinet ministers don't read the English-language papers. The Immigration Police, where the petitions were sent, don't give a damn what you think. I was involved in bringing this issue to the attention of a Deputy Prime Minister. He, and the other ministers, and their staff were completely unaware of the controversy when I asked them about it. When I explained it to that minister, his immediate reaction was "that's crazy." His staff asked me to send him English-language press clippings explaining the details of the matter. They they brought the issue to the DPM in charge of the economy and the economic ministers. They were the ones who told Immigration they were creating a problem and to solve it. And the minister who brought the issue to the economic ministers is the very same minister you are all accusing of being a racist and bigot because he lost his temper a couple of weeks ago and said something foolish, that he apologized for. This is the truth. I don't care if you believe it, or not.
