Oh, the Arab/Jew/Israel/Palestine (AJIP) thing.  Everyone's a victim!

Golly gosh! Thais lying to cover up their inadequacies? 

 

Say it ain't so. 

Not "lying".  Just the authorities presenting data in a way arguably more beneficial to them than to the public.  Standard operating procedure for almost all government agencies these days ...

Canadian tourists always making a splash!

Impressive!  Must have spent a lot of time in Thailand!

This product didn't mange to slip through the cracks. I didn't see any punishment being dished out or even name and shamed. You can take it for granted that many things you eat in Thailand is laced with chemicals. That seems a given? Whether that's the fruit/vegtables you eat from the supermarket or eating food from the side of the road that is getting laced with contaminants from vehicles. Or most common of all Food that gets cooked over and over again in the same poisonous seed oils. I love Thai food but saying it's healthy is not true in my opinion. Maybe it was 50 years ago.

 

Will a farmer in rural Thailand who is often on the bread line throw away a crop if they found an issues that is non evident to a normal person?

Do you think a farmer would not choose chemicals to help get bigger crop yields? They have eaten it themselves and they are still alive so it must be safe.

 

Do you think there is strict testing of farmers produce in Thailand?

 

I am trying to source my food carefully but am aware that even buying organic in Thailand very likely has a totally different meaning to buying organic in Australia or elsewhere with higher regulations (for the most part). Maybe im wrong, I hope I am. It's just a totally different mentality over here. Its expensive to try to eat healthy in Thailand. 

Occasional activated carbon tablets or capsules (or powder) may help remove toxins from the body.  Be sure to read up on this before trying.

I've heard from a reliable source that instant noodles are useful in paving road potholes.

Hilarious.

The Thai government website and app - Air4Thai - uses a 24-hour average for PM2.5 which is typically misleadingly low.  Other sites and apps display 1-hour data, which is more useful.  App reviewers, including Thais, have cottoned on to this as a likely deception by the Thai government, as it makes the air quality situation look much better than it actually is.

They pave paradise, put up a parking lot ...

And......didn't see the much beloved Thaksin Shinawatra among this distinguished grouping.

That is from the July 2022 Forbes "Thailand's 50 Richest" ...

'Twas easy to tolerate Thailand when it was cheap, there weren't so many cars on the road, and the people weren't so stressed.

Merger had to happen to allow the two remaining companies to raise their rates to cover the cost of implementing 5G being forced on everyone, whether they want it or not.   5G (and higher) required for the dystopic tech nightmare coming down the pike ... 

So African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Native-Americans, Asian-Americans, all Hyphenated-Americans, are subject here to being painted with the same brush??  Reckon that boat sailed long ago.  Now, if we just had a separate thread for each group ... 

Now, if we had different threads for each group ... 

Problem is, find a quiet place you like and everything outside it now seems noisier and worse.

It's occurred to me the whole thing could be a Phishing scam. Upload all your docs to a totally fictitious site. They've gone quiet since I asked them who their regulators are.

Please elaborate ...
