You forgot to add 'sarcasm alert'

Some falangis just don't get it ...

Well, thai RSC published ever so slightly different numbers - a giant surprise ... lol. Death yesterday: 65 (25) Injured yesterday: 2'256 (248) ( ) published by the Department of public disaster prevention

Holding a knive to cut bread or a steak could never be called attempted murder. Fixed it for you.

Fully agree - briiliant, hits the nail fair and square

Ahhhh - better than growing money trees in the backyard. 2 questions: Why is not everybody doing it? When did you last check your credits core? A million+ dollars available credit (unsecured) and counting ......... nothing further

https://www.pymnts.com/cash/2024/swedens-central-bank-proposes-rules-to-facilitate-use-of-cash/ I fully agree with your assessment of slowly sliding into a dystopian future. Fortunately, there are some exceptions to the rule - see above. Even more remarkable considering Sweden is an almost cashless society now with 99% of all transaction cashless one way or another. Another positive side of getting the vast majority of people embracing the fantastic tech (nobody wants to be seen as a technophobe) and unwittingly assisting the banks in saving the cost of maintaining branches, ATM's and having their storefront workforce decimated. Positive for people holding and/or accumulating corresponding stock, cashing in on fat dividends😊

Poor guy - has to follow orders from the invisible puppeteer holding the strings

Solution - add to ignore list On the other hand - incredibly amusing to see the number 1 numptie falling hook, line and sinker for the number 1 April foolsday joke

April Fools day - 365 days, hard to distinguish🤪

Why stop there? Legalise the drug trade et all ..... to combat the shadowy underworld economy ....

Wrong on all accounts- see my earlier post.

Forgot to add "sarcasm alert"

He paid $44B for Twitter, a liberal activist site loved by the left ....... X now is an unbiased platform promoting free speech. Which the vast majority doesn’t seem to appreciate considering its current market valuation of $7.28B.

You forgot that she is a revered guest of Thailand from Russia - a 500 Baht fine and a 14 day suspended prison sentence will serve as a stiff reminder to strictly follow the law.

Sure - people believing in "woke" suffer from unhappiness, anxiety and depression. Another major study - "The world happiness index 2024" shows that people from countries accepting and embracing "woke" are the happiest on the planet (Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Sweden, The Netherlands, Luxembourg etc). The people of the US of A. seem to be far less happy, with the country ranked 23rd on the list.

Reason for Crackdown is to "enhance tourists safety" - repeated at nauseam on a daily basis. The elephant in the room jeopardizing tourist's safety a lot more than any of the listed "crimes to be combatted" is not being addressed at all. The daily carnage on Phuket's roads. Increase of road death January to March 20, 2024: 42% with still 11 days until the end of March, compared with Jan. to March 2023. And 6'388 injured and rushed to the hospitals (average of 80 every day). Source: thairsc.com It would require police to enforce road rules on everybody ...... including Thais.

I really think that the thai public is entitled to the CCTV footage in order to form an opinion based on the evidence of the accusation. What's presently played out by Authorities and eagerly lapped up by compliant MSM and social media is nothing more than an attempt to divert attention away from the real problems of the country - 10'000 baht scheme delayed and most likely being scrapped, skyhigh indebtness of people, a big part unsecured, sluggish economic growth etc.

They don't need a job, they own the company.

The one and only proof is the fact,that they subdued a police officer in order to get hold of his gun. Every other aspect is based on the account of Somrak, supported by the organisation he is a member of - starting with the alleged speeding, disobeying his command, being aggressive and attacking him for no other reason than him recording them on his phone. The recording that has up to today not been made publicly available for unknown reasons. Extenuating circumstances, also called mitigating factors form an important part to fully understand a situation in criminal law of the developed world. Maybe these terms are unknown in the Thai criminal justice system. It would explain, that usually a raft of charges are laid - doesn’t matter if they are true and proven beyond reasonable doubt - and the general advice given states: plead guilty and get the sentence halved. Do not try to fight, it will make matters far worse.

And you are an accredited criminal lawyer judging from your statements? I give you a made-up story "speeding and not keep far enough to the left" in front of Chalong Police station which is exactly 75m away from the chaotic Chalong circle clogged with vehicles, where speeds are between 0 and 5km/h. From the picture published they rode garden variety scooters and not Ducatis, which actually would reach illegal speeds within a distance of 75m under full acceleration. I passed by chalong police station weekly over the past 6 years.
