Crime British Teen Thought as Missing in Thailand Found Arrested in Georgia
Dr. Zorg replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I smell a rat. It is obvious the arrest clip is staged. AI maybe. There aren't any other people visible. At night? -
Britain's Got Talent - Still the Undisputed Empire???
Dr. Zorg replied to Lewie London's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
even still: In modern Britain, it’s nearly impossible to visit a local chip shop without overhearing a heated monologue about “globalist agendas” delivered by someone in a Union Jack gilet, spooning mushy peas as if uncovering government secrets over lunch. The name Nigel Farage inevitably crops up—admired by some as a modern-day Churchill for pub-goers, though he’s arguably more of a media-savvy agitator than a statesman. His influence remains strong in a political climate increasingly defined by grievance, nostalgia, and misinformation. This populist narrative thrives on a cocktail of disillusionment and half-truths. Phrases like “I’m not racist, but…” frequently introduce statements laced with conspiracy theories so far-fetched, they’d give David Icke a run for his money. In these conversations, even the most mundane developments—such as traffic schemes or mild weather warnings—are treated as sinister examples of state control or shadowy global plots. These ideas often originate from unverified sources: anonymous Telegram channels or YouTube personalities masquerading as truth-tellers, many of whom haven’t participated in the democratic process themselves. Since the lockdowns, there’s emerged a peculiar form of public defiance, complete with slogan-plastered hoodies, symbolic gestures like being “milkshaked,” and loud declarations that free speech is under attack—ironically made across platforms with global reach. Every cultural moment becomes another front in an imagined war: whether it's against "wokeness," so-called “remoaners,” or phantom civil service conspiracies. It’s a kind of perpetual outrage theatre, where being loud is mistaken for being right. At the same time, there’s a deep skepticism toward traditional institutions—government, media, academia—while paradoxically embracing questionable content online. Many who voice disdain for elites often support policies that don’t serve their own interests, economically or socially. Scapegoating has become an unfortunate national pastime: whether it’s immigrants, recycling schedules, or Meghan Markle, the ire is misplaced, often conveniently ignoring the real architects of inequality and decline. Despite all this noise, Britain hasn’t lost its essence. What it has done is channel its cultural energy into new, sometimes absurd, directions—like attributing local potholes to global schemes or dismissing factual reporting as bias. The British flair for eccentricity and satire is alive and well, just perhaps misapplied. The path forward lies not in escalating culture wars or doubling down on YouTube-fueled politics, but in rediscovering a more grounded, reasonable discourse. Perhaps it starts with turning down the volume, logging off a little more, and rediscovering the quiet strength in that most British of traditions: a cup of tea and a bit of calm reflection -

I wonder how many tourists fall off balconies in Thailand in a year? -
Report Swiss Man Faces Arrest in Phuket Over Alleged Assault on Thai Doctor
Dr. Zorg replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
It's a circus. The details of the case are blurred by now. Was she pregnant? Was it a full blown kick? or was it a nudge with his foot to her back? -
Thai-Scottish Ranger Resigns After Incident with Racist Tourists
Dr. Zorg replied to snoop1130's topic in Krabi News
Nobody was racist. The foreigner said hello. Does it really matter in what language? It is the gesture that counts. At least the tourist greeted him. The tourist wasn't rowdy or anything. Pettiness is bad for business. Or maybe address his Scottish half with Awright? Or Hiya? -

Danish Tourist Declines Hospital Treatment After Stabbing in Pattaya
Dr. Zorg replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
He could be on overstay. Stealth mode. -
Come to think of it there was a time not too long ago that this rubbish, 90 day reporting, TM30 was unheard of. You could arrive in Thailand with a one-way ticket, open a bank account, do as many border bounces as you like. No questions asked.

Tourist Brawl in Phuket Sparks Debate on Visitor Behavior - video
Dr. Zorg replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I'd say it is part of "tourism". On the one-hand the PM wants to slacken the "strict" liquor laws, on the other Netizens want to enforce stricter visa rules. L Thailand is making money. Drunk people are a common sight everywhere in the world. -

Under Consideration - 2 months
Dr. Zorg replied to connda's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Consideration stamp is 30 days after the expiration date of the visa extension date. In the past I got the final stamp within a week or two after my application, without even a home visit. Since 2021 there is always a home visit and I can only get my final stamp on the final date of the consideration stamp. -
