  1. 480K? Police chief linked to drugs had 480 million confiscated. Hard to believe BJ only made 480 000
  2. Even better, next time they visit Thai place selling chicken with rice in Australia for more than $2, they should throw a hissy fit and be outraged at the price when in Thailand it’s only 40 -45 baht
  3. Hope once they return back home to England they will also be outraged if any place selling chicken with rice for more than 1 pound.
  4. Find it hard to believe someone would just king hit for no reason , other than a handshake. Mascot might be hiding few details
  5. He is done. whoever the driving force behind all of it tried 2 times before but failed, this is 3rd and final time this time round they made sure. Does not mean circus will not go on for a while
  6. Country has almost zero % unemployment where in real life translates into shortage of staff across all sectors. In addition lack of skilled staff across all sectors and yet government keeps idiotic restrictions and conditions with jobs reserved for Thai only. Or/ min salary caps. Thailand is a Buddhist country and yet temples do nothing to help the poor or homeless. Watchai in Pattaya owns half of prime realestate in the city, collecting insane rents and yet would not set up shelter or feed the poor.
  7. What’s next? Fried chicken as fat burning medication ?
  8. Potheads better to stock up , this time next year you be paying double and having trouble trying to find it . In the mean time police will be very busy chasing hundreds if not thousands who have plants growing in their homes
  9. If anyone to blame for this idiocy it is no other but Anutin He pushed to legalize it without any safe guarding , proper thinking and planning Now he is blaming foreigners operating illegally. I am not a smoker and could not care either way, but this should have been properly studied and planned. As much as all the pot heads are happy, do need to keep in mind, Thailand is the only place in SEA that has legalised it and Thailand is also a travel hub onto other countries. Plenty of knobs who smoke in Thailand and take some with them on to their next destination, only to end up arrested for possession of an illegal substance. On the other hand, you have hundreds if not thousands of people who have invested lots of money into opening shops but now will be forced to close down? who will compensate them? In case of Pattaya, there is a shop literally on every corner, almost as bad as 7-11, once they forced to close, they will also be in breach of their leases, who will force landlords to refund? and who will compensate landlords for their losses?
  10. Kind of ironic when Thai police motto is good guys in bad guys out I suppose applies to UK needs some more bad guys to replace the ones they lost 😂
  11. With them is not only about fees but also value that they put on. Judy had a case where I bought something for 2000 baht but there was a discount 500 baht , all showing on the invoice and yet they insisted charging on 2000 what they gonna do with registered post ? Open up each parcel and put a value on it ? manpower will need to triple to do all that and delays would be weeks if not longer in addition to many items possibly going missing or misplaced
  12. Is Thai government that broke ? It is bad enough as is with tax on items over 1500, they want to make it even worse? they worry about cheap products flooding the market ? But will tax individual parcels ? Great thinking
  13. So he was fired and charged but he does not recognise and accept it because it was not published ? Interesting that he does not mention any charges
  14. She is but reports said wealthy friend, well known local businessman owned and gave it to him free, unless there was another “twist” that I missed
  15. His rise through the ranks and fame was backed by 1 person, one who gets nice watches from dead friends. Moment that person lost power BJ started having problems. it is mind blowing how some can be that thick to think he is clean when he went from tourist police captain to LT General in a matter of a year or so, which would normally take at least a decade for anyone else. it is just as mind boggling how same people think he is clean when he has “friends” paying rent for his house and rents for his aids
  16. That’s the difference between being a tourist and someone living full time. while internet speeds are impressive getting connected , reconnected or disconnected from the service may turn into a ww3 , as more than often simple things are turned into a nightmare. you say thailsnd plowed ahead? In what regard? let me tell you , I opened a new company and no one knows what license I require to get . Each government office points finger at each other while I go in circles my visa has been same for 25 years and yet every year they require same documents over and over again and sadly enough it is the same officer manning same counter who has seen me 25 years and not once have I had just a nod , forget about a smile or a small talk. even bar scene. There are there to entertain and get drinks from foreigners and yet speak even less English than they did a decade ago
  17. I have lived in Thailand for most of my adult life, almost 25 years, so not just bashing i often visit neighboring countries as well. everywhere in the world there is progress over the past 25 years where as in Thailand I feel it’s a regress. English got worse, service got worse, scams became more and no recourse Visa became harder, no benefits of any kind stupidity and idiocy is nourished while innovation and improvement frowned upon.
  18. He has been claiming his innocence for many months already. makes you wonder what materials is there to present if you not involved at all ? And how can there be so much materials for someone who is supposedly not involved ?
  19. Excellent idea. Manufacturing Russian- Ukrainian conflict is not enough , let’s expand and create one with China 👍
  20. Great, 1 m0r0n vapes on the plane in open view, another M0r0n films it and third m0r0n shares it and now knowing Thai over reaction standby for raids across country and some silly law prohibiting vapes on the plane
  21. Harassing people is reserved for Thai tuk tuk drivers, taxi drivers , immigration officers and Ladyboys 👍😂
  22. They must be superman if they injured, being treated and yet can engage in fierce fighting for 2 weeks it is unclear why it took 2 weeks ?😂😂😂, maybe fighting injured Hamas fighters being treated is much harder than fighting ones who are not 😂😂😂
  23. How do you know how many killed are civilians and how many are Hamas fighters? All the numbers coming out of Gaza is Hamas bs, no doubt many civilians killed but how many ? And how many killed by Israel and how many by Hamas themselves ? 13000 Hamas fighters Is an estimation of US and Israel, it is not the factual number. It is a no doubt ugly war, however Hamas are 100% responsible , and they are responsible for civilian deaths even assuming they are not using civilians as human shields. facts 1. Hamas started the war 2. Hamas never made any provisions or took any steps to protect its population , not a single bob shelter was built. 3. Hamas fighting war within civilian populace, they have not formed battalions to face IDF head on but hiding in residential areas 4 Hamas leadership are worth 3-4 BILLION dollars each and yet not only all living outside in luxury but have not donated any of their ill gotten money, expecting and demanding for everyone else to pay 5. Hamas brought on catastrophe on its people and yet they are still making demands for a ceasefire
  24. Nice deflection but please do stick to facts hanas stated no fighters in the hospital, so AGAIN who is fighting IDF in fierce battle for days and mind you not my words but your beloved AlJazeera , fierce fighting raging in vacinity of hospital , so AGAIN who is fighting with IDF? then follow up reports claim so many women and children were killed, so it was women and children fighting with IDF? Brave man are hiding in the tunnel ? make up your mind, which one is it ?
  25. When atrocities took place all the anti semites were screaming its a fake and wanted proof. When proof was shown, they started screaming jews deserved it When Hamas and co says Israel did this or that, none of the "supporters" even question the bs been fed and again bad jews. Here is a fact, Hamas made an attack being well aware of what to come afterwards Hamas did not build a single bomb shelter or made any preparations for what is to come All the arab nations and arabs chanting and protesting, did not take a single refuge and not only that but making threats if anyone tries to force them to take a single one. All the arabs screaming have done as little as possible demanding everyone else does more Jordan slaughtered 150 000 but now protesting? Lebanon has had refugee camps for 70 years, 3rd generation born are still considered refugees, not allowed to work or study legally Not a single arab has questioned WHY out of all the killed and injured most are women and children, so where are the men? Not a single arab or supporter questioned out of the reported killed how many are Hamas fighters? And my all time favorite is the reporting of Israel attacking hospital and fierce fighting going on for days while Hamas claims there are no fighters in the hospital, So if there are no fighters in or around hospital who exactly is fighting IDF for days on?
