But I was talking about the UK when I said that, but it no different here We both know the mine fields MP's have to pick their way through these days in a desperate attempt not to come unstuck, there are certain things considered so unacceptable that they will result in resignation. If a minister referred to dirty smelly black I'm pretty sure he would be toast. However referring to "dirty farangs" is just not considered a big deal here by either his fellow ministers or the majority of the public, There are things that politicians here can't say, with similar consequences, but criticising foreigner's is not considered the heinous crime it is in the UK so its not on the list of "the unsayable" So it would be a bit unrealistic to expect a minister here to use any better standard of rhetoric, they just don't feel the need after all who cares? just a few farangs, and expats at that. And that's how it is here and how its always been I was not arguing the rights or wrongs of the ridiculous defamation laws and the way that they are applied, but it is what it is , and its not exactly a secret, A normal negative review would not be a problem and I'm not sure If you were referring to the latest case withe the brit guy , but that was a little bit more than a review , more like a targeted hate campaign which i think has been the case with "all" the other recent reports of this nature.

Nah this is the best of us mate

You will never overcome your problems until you admit them to yourself, I don't doubt some have more accurate opinions than me, but you just aint one of them

Then sadly they are a either little naive, or as usual expecting things here to be done exactly the same as in their own miserable countries, where, unbelievably some have been forced to resign over a few ill chosen words Anybody posting negative comments regarding restaurants etc on social media really needs to educate themselves as to the possible consequences of doing so. It is a country of contradictions but If I can survive here for nearly 30 years unscathed it is obviously not that difficult to do so

lifestyle changes not going very well then I see, but don't give up, rome wasn't built in a day, you'll get there in the end , and ultimately be a better person for it

Did he specify exactly what they should be arrested for ? In many cases he is probably correct, I would imagine many do not have their paper work in order. I have only been in one cannabis shop since this all started and to be honest I was a little bit irked when a slimy british guy tried to sell me a ready rolled joint of brick weed for the" bargain" price of 600 effing baht ! I reckon he deserves at least 10 years for that . slimy southern kant

Attempts to insult me are pointless. But feel free to try again , I have no Idea what "gaslighting" means, and have never heard of "Martha" or her "baby reindeer" your responses are getting more and more bizarre, were your drinks spiked this morning?

That's uncanny I was just about to comment pretty much exactly word for word what you have written. I am admittedly as brazen as anybody , but even I understand that most people, smokers included will respond positively to a request to moderate their behaviour slightly, as long as they are spoken to politely and in the correct manner. Even drunkards will comply if spoken to appropriately. Its a social skill that some will never master.

I know exactly what he said , but unlike a few on here I don't take it personally, I treat it like any other remarks by politicians. I think I will go to sleep now You on the other hand don't have time for that , you have other matters to attend to , like growing up , developing a thicker skin , and getting a life. Off you go , crack on , and keep me updated on your progress

I seriously doubt Anutin will be out of pocket personally, whatever happens, at worst he may not make as much as he intended, but I'm sure he has done just fine so far, and with another year , at least, to go he will will have made millions

How should the parents have got more involved, exactly? Urinating is a solo performance not a term sport for gods sake. Take a few minutes and consider how the Buddha himself might have reacted. It might make you a better, more tolerant person

Exactly what is wrong with people on here getting their panties in a bunch over something so so trivial

well said, A couple of thousand comments, by a couple of thousand people, who probably spend their entire wasted lives doing nothing else except commenting on social media

I would be reluctant to make any assumptions from the photograph , but probably most would act casual in this situation to avoid drawing attention to themselves, The father is stood behind her, maybe in an attempt to spoil the view for the other perverts, how could they have helped her ? Squeezed her head a bit. If they are indeed Chinese they probably consider this completely normal and will wonder what all the fuss is about.

Along with all the people who one shared it with. and quite rightly too

Exactly it could hardly damage the reputation of anything if it was not plastered all over the internet along with all the hysterical outrage

Strange , I would have thought they would have been provided by a higher, "celestial authority" what with them being "sacred" and all that, As it appears that higher authority was not available. it was lucky Somchai was able to step in and help them out. I'm assuming the reserves are necessary in case that the original choice are summoned back to heaven, for whatever reason. All very well as a tourist attraction but some here believe in this rubbish, The results could easily be skewed, by giving offering them some of the 10 year old rice which they would probably refuse, or maybe vomit if they did accept it

You could just wear sunglasses. What adverts do you consider necessary? Pepsi ? some of those can be quite bright too, should we ban it?

How can you establish the level of shame and embarrassment ? or the "fact" that they "clearly let her do it all the time " you must have amazing powers

most civilised societies make allowances for young children most civilised societies would not condone anybody videoing this

Thanks indeed "Kieth" for an amusing anecdote A" high level doctor" drugged and robbed by a prostitute in Thailand, well that's certainly something we don't hear about very often. Any way so far 3 cases all of which apparently occurred "years ago" more than likely the perpetrators were ladyboys and the "drugged" part was a pathetic attempt to save face. What exactly is a high level doctor, or a low level doctor come to that? You are clutching at straws, and starting to look ridiculous give it up. It does happen, but not "quite often" except in your imagination

Another with an irrational dislike of neon signs, is there a name for this phobia. I don't like some things either so I simply avoid certain places, works a lot better than whinging on here about it So many coffee shops are selling " the stuff" so what , But which coffee shops are "smoking it" ? I have never seen that

Why do you care how much he is making out of cannabis, they are all making money out if something, that's the way of the world. As a Uk taxpayer I don't pay my taxes with the intention of creating a nanny state, I would much rather they addressed more pressing issues, They could start with immigration, cost of living, unemployment , and the economy, People choosing to smoke is none of their concern,

Take out the word "medical" and he is absolutely correct

You answered your own question "banana republic" and "tin pot officials" For those of us that did not serve in the military uniforms and medals are always amusing, who ever wears them. Reminds me of overgrown boy scouts
