Not sure what's more ridiculous - that they are using anything they can to prevent a democratically elected government from forming, or that two MFP leaders in a row were careless enough to give them ammo (holding such shares). Didn't they learn their lesson last election?! It kinda seems like these guys think they're elite and laws/regulations don't apply to them - which kind of makes sense being young Thai billionaires - the law doesn't apply to them in most areas of life. Move over and let Pheu Thai take over - they might not be the cleanest, but at least they know how to play the game.

Proving once again that men can do anything women do - better. ???? No, I'm kidding - it's atrocious that men are stealing titles away from women. Transgenders should not be competing in sports where they have an unfair advantage, nor in beauty pageants where literally every part of their appearance is fake and manufactured. Sure- the other contenders are heavily modified as well, but not to that extend and they do usually have natural good features (height, body shape, etc).

Professional nightlife enthusiast ???? Me...????????‍♀️????

What's the alternative? looking over your shoulder all the time to make sure a gang of drivers don't try to assault you? better to shake hands and let it be than risk revenge from scum like that.

That's a ridiculous conclusion. Maybe that's how hookers and their wannabe thug boyfriends view you, but it's not how normal Thais (yes- there are Thais with an education, they're not all hookers) view foreigners. Sure- I won't deny I've spent money on girls here, but I look and act nothing like this stereotype. This is NOT reality for normal people.

He didn't choose to leave - he was deported. He also didn't choose to not come back - he's on a blacklist for 5-10 years. What Thai prisons are like is irrelevant since the guy in the article did not spend any time in Thai prison. Going by the info in the linked article - he was arrested and spent a day in Patong police jail before being granted bail. He was free for 6+ months in Patong, then a couple of months ago, in May, he pleaded guilty on his court case and given no additional jail time - only deportation. He then had to return to Patong police jail where he waited a week to be transported to Bangkok Immigration Detention Center. He spent about 2 months in the IDC before the embassy were able to schedule his flight out. It's certainley not pleasant, and I'm sure the IDC feels like prison, but between that and "I almost died in Thai prison" there's quite a leap.

Yep. Reading about his past removes any sort of sympathy. He seems to have devolved into the worst kind of streamer - opportunist who would do anything to make some coin. Obviously the live stream was a poor attempt at getting views, but threatening suicide publicly like that is probably also a ploy to get views. Reminds me of some guy who spread a bunch of fake news about the Taiwanese mafia (huh?) threatening his life for making pickup videos in Taiwan. Everything for those views/attention...

It's not an easy job, and it's not that profitable - and on top of that they have to "buy" their spot and pay police. With inflation raising ingredient costs and probably also increased "rent" profit margins have been hit hard. There's only so much you can charge for street food and still sell. Not much incentive for younger people to set up shop when they have more lucrative options. Like being a massage therapist serving wholesome Arab princes in Dubai. ????

Instead of picking on poor street vendors trying to scratch a living out of the bottom of the barrel - why don't they arrest and deport the one population that makes the area scary at night - Africans? It would be incredibly easy to spot and catch the drug dealers, pimps, and prostitutes - if they wanted to.

Read that initially as "to ease travel from the world's largest outbreak".... which was about right, in 2020.
