I don’t know much about this man. However, I’ve had many conversations with Thai people about him, especially taxi drivers, some of my close Thai friends—many are wealthy business owners—and my wife. The overwhelming majority of them like Thaksin. Most say that the economy in Thailand was better during his administration. A friend of mine is a respected Thai lawyer. I asked him how he felt about Thaksin’s war on drugs. He said that many of his friends and colleagues didn’t openly discuss it but they were mostly in agreement with what he was doing. My wife on the other hand was born in Bangkok and she’s very conservative. I can’t mention his name in our residence because an argument would take place. The consensus from most of the Thais that I’ve spoken with mostly agree that he’s very smart. One taxi driver flat out said that if he returns, he’d be assassinated.

This week, I received my 6th booster. And I didn’t have to spend not even one baht. We’re guests here in this country, why do we have to complain or grumble about everything. Enjoy your life. If you don’t want a booster shot, don’t get it.

Polar bears sliding off melting glaciers in the Antarctic is caused by cloud seeding?

How is it that there are so many Monday morning quarterbacks that can be so specific about who Big Joke may or not be? Okay, I’ll join the bandwagon. I believe that the man is underestimated and will be an asset for the RTP. The more power to him. You can say what you want, I recall him being against immigration officers taking money under the table.

What a shame, some of us are more like dogs, with our assumptions, than human.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think she’s lovely. And intelligent on top of that.
