It is a statement of fact, The root reason for prostitution is simple , supply and demand. As long as nobody is forced into it against their will its nobody's concern what arrangements consenting adults arrive at. -

Those who do it willingly are hardly "oppressed" There's one in the village here with 3 houses and two pickups Would you like her phone number so you can "save " her. She would probably have something to say to you if you tried, and I'm guessing the second word would be "off" -
not wrong at all , I reckon it was purely a rhetorical question the purpose of which was purely to express righteous indignation at the behaviour of others. Not unexpected really considering the current media frenzy /crackdown on foreigners.Its quite contagious, There are a few on here who mistakenly believe that criticising foreigners sets them above all others and elevates their status with the Thais, so its basically a mixture of virtue signalling, whilst at the same time appeasing the ever present lynch mob. I'm just surprised there was no call for blacklisting or deportation His fictional concern for the other Thai family was truly heart rending and more than a little nauseating I'm starting to think it was a totally imaginary scenario

What has the presence of dope shops got to do with how she might be making money? or shouldn't I ask? -

I think the Thai courts are to be praised for retaining a level headed sense of perspective in these highly publicised cases, -

I think you are overreacting, you and a few others on here have been taken in by the media frenzy. The Thai mainstream and social media are in overdrive at the moment, This site is just as bad in fact its probably the worst of the lot. The outrage of those elderly "netizens" who rely on this as their only source of information is somewhat understandable but its only adding fuel to the fire. the endless screaming for deportation and black listing for every transgression no matter how trivial by a few on here is evidence enough of how easily people can be manipulated, as if the recent frenzy over covid 19 hadn't already demonstrated that. There was no shortage of lynch mob members turning on each other then either. In reality any increase in "misbehavior" is actually minute in the great scheme of things, but amplified 100 times or more by the media coverage. Good for clicks though so don't expect it to end on this site anytime soon But actually it all pales into total insignificance if you are capable of watching and understanding thai dally Thai TV news -
Foreigners and their overseas income: what next?

what about the charges? I think some cards are cheaper than others but if you have one of the pricier ones you could end up paying more in fees than in tax -

I think Gaza vs Israel could be added as a heavy weight contender -
Is there really any need to even consider actually shooting a person for such a minor offence? Are you American by any chance There was really no need to turn up mob handed like that , he could easily have been apprehended discreetly by catching him off guard. Totally ridiculous operation and staged purely for the media, who were no doubt informed in advance

I am actually surprised there are people like that here, I didn't think people of that nature were even attracted to places like Thailand, I'm sure they didn't exist here years ago and I personally have never knowingly met anybody of that nature in real life, Where do they live? where do they socialise, do they actually have any real friends? How do their ex bargirl wives even cope with them? My guess is they can normally be found safely tucked away in their gated communities, splitting their time between shopping in "Tops" and the golf course or chairing meetings of their residents association . Then, in the evenings they retire to their "office" with their glass of red wine and scour websites like this looking for anything that they can vent their pent up frustrations on from behind the safety of their keyboards One such person on this thread has actually posted his own proposals for stricter immigration rules.! predictably consisting of" deportation and a ban" starting off for a mere 7 days overstay and gravitating to a " life time ban" sad but true Do these sanctimonious geriatrics, encouraging others to become police informants, understand that even cutting their own manicured lawns or trimming the roses could theoretically land them in the IDC as they themselves become a deportation statistic. The Thai immigration authorities will not consider them any differently from a Russian mafioso or a German overstayer despite their own perceived social status as quality expats What goes around tends to come around, people should be careful what they wish for

‘Land of Smiles’ fast becoming ‘Land of Russian Crime’

I generally reserve my comments on cannabis for the appropriate forums my only comment on here was for the purpose of correcting the incorrect assertion by another poster who claimed the effects of cannabis were just the same as alcohol . The effects of cannabis are totally different to those of alcohol. I stand by that statement 100% . I'm sorry but statements like "but they both get you off your head" or they "both slow you down" are totally meaningless. Magic mushrooms , Heroin , Cocaine, Ecstasy ,in fact any psychoactive substance will get one "off ones head" but the effects are all totally different to each other and all totally different to alcohol I am not really concerned whether you agree with me or not. I would however be more inclined to listen to the views and enter into discussions on this matter with people who have experienced the effects of psychoactive drugs personally rather than just spouting whatever rubbish they have cherry picked from google or anywhere else for that matter Its a little bit like driving a car , one can do as much research as one likes but until one actually gets behind the wheel ones opinions and knowledge are worth nothing
