In the not too distant past Nepal had a social revolution in a very similar socio/political climate that Thailand is suffering from right now. Power to the People!

The BIG question is : Who is the director of this socio/political drama?

From the information in the media so far it was apparently a plan carried out by a team of greedy blackhearts (gangsters) with absolutely no scruples. One wonders what depths of depravity these subhumans have in their personal repertoires?

This guy is a grandstander!....a loser trying desperately to stay relevant. He's a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. Surely it's about time journalists and editors stopped giving him press.

Starting? Thailand has never been properly functional..... dysfunction is the norm.

Yes, it's funny how all the attention turns to cannabis rather than the bad character of the road ragers! If the headline was "Shop assistant stabs tourist" the anti ganja crowd probably wouldn't ever bother to read the article.

You don't show any awareness of the deep corruption displayed by the military regime and the consequent disadvantages that the general population have suffered. You seem to live in a privileged bubble.

Ya ice!!! I wonder if they did a blood test on him? ???? It's way too simplistic to surmise that because he had cannabis in his possession that that was the cause of his meltdown. There's definitely other things in the mix....volatile Italian temperament, dumped by his girlfriend, discovered his "girlfriend" was actually a lady boy, ordered pizza, got delivered a Subway.....

No mention of any further investigation into this guy's accumulated, unexplained wealth. I doubt that this is a one off occurrence. No doubt in my mind that it will be part of a long standing way of life, associated with other "colleagues". ????

You forgot to mention to give convicted international heroin smugglers a Government Ministry!

Should read "Danes".

There's a few people trying hard to be funny, but being attacked by monkeys can be absolutely terrifying. Many years ago I was enjoying the sunset from a rocky lookout at Mahabalipuram in South India. A Danish couple were doing the same, and feeding the quite large monkeys with peanuts. The lady couldn't get the peanuts out of her pockets fast enough! Two monkeys attacked her, viciously clawing and tearing at her shorts. She was screaming hysterically. The Rains ran down the steps chased by the greedy savage monkeys. They managed to get away, but both of them were badly scratched and traumatised.

Major causes of mental illness : religion, television, movies, newspapers, education systems, societal pressure, propaganda, social conditioning and expectations, lust, greed, envy, etc, etc, etc.....the causes and manifestations of mental illness are endless. We live in a world where madness is the norm. War ( conspired mass murder) manifests itself between nations, but actually echoes the pervasive craziness of us as individuals. We love to hate! We love to condem! We thrive on divisiveness! It's very convenient to blame cannabis for the ills of society, but really speaking, the problems of human beings are our personal responsibility and the solution can only be by becoming self aware . It's this writer's opinion that pointing the finger at others and blaming is just another way of avoiding oneself.

Isn't this a a Thai tradition?,eg. Boss????
