And that is the reason why Joe Biden gave Fauci a pardon back as far as 2014, ironically that was the year the virus research was moved from Virginia, USA to Wuhan, China !! You just have to love this stuff dont you, how evil these SOB's really are!!

"The World Military Games took place from the 18th to 27th of October 2019 in Wuhan, China. Over 140 nations with 9308 athletes participated" Why dont they ask the nations that attended the military games in Wuhan what they observed when in Wuhan! And when many of those athletes returned to their respective countries many complained of a bad cough & cold like symptoms! What a great time to release a virus, tell me this was a coincidence!

I cannot think of a worse picture to showcase Thailands tourist sites! Chinese numbers are down and revenue is up which means Chinese generally speaking spend very little. If Indian numbers decline it will have a similar effect, numbers down but revenue per tourist up. So why dont they get wise and go after the tourists from the countries with the higher spend per tourist! But will they really do anything? If they are serious the authorities need to address the tourist rip offs, scams, safety, etc etc to improve Thailands image which is sliding fast.

Remember where we are, just another crazy scheme not thought through!! It may work on the eastern side but the logistics will always be a challenge, the western side is open sea so good luck with that!!!

How does the saying go, He who has the gold makes the rules!! In my humble opinion it seems like just another political witch hunt, Thaksin does have his good points being a man for the people. Corruption is endemic in south east Asia and exists at different levels in most countries, developed and undeveloped.

its a joke sour puss!

The usual Thai BS and so surprising he just happens to be a retired policeman with a close association to the Red Bull hit & run incident! His explanation is an indication of his level of intelligence, ethics & morality, maybe the pre schoolers would believe his story!

You reap what you sow Thailand!! and we all know you will do little about this because he is from the chosen country which the Thai's seem to worship!!

If you have in fact done 400 plus dives then you would have been around a few novices who often struggle with buoyancy control and in doing so end up sticking a fin or their knee onto the reef/coal which causes damage to the often fragile coral. Having a camera and attempting to take pictures enhances their instability and also takes their focus off keeping their fins & knees etc off the coral. Having logged more than 3500 dives in Papua New Guinea I have seen this coral destroying practice many times and even from certified divers which you obviously are so you should really know this happens and support the law. I am sure other divers associations members would totally agree with this as most like myself are keen to preserve the reefs. I hope you are also!!!! Yes the dropping of anchors is devastating to reef life and the practice of the ill informed, uneducated & selfish!

The corrupt authorities and legal system just gets bought by brown envelopes from the wealthy, look at the Red Bull case!!

Typical Thai reporting, what makes these morons think the baht is weak when in fact it is quite strong, dribble, dribble & more dribble!!

Lets be honest, the level of corruption in Thailand is relatively high & wide spread with more interest in collecting brown envelopes than enforcing the laws so offering visa free to so many countries just opens the flood gates for all the riff raff to drift in and do what they like. The quality tourist over the quantity should be their focus and will automatically reduce these problems but the short sighted greed for money is just too much to resist and too difficult for them to foresee the future. They dont want the back packers but they want the Indians & Chinese, generally speaking the difference being the back packers generally behave themselves, stay longer and spend a similar amount on a daily basis, are not here to work illegally or involved in scams! Will the authorities ever wake up?

Exactly, just another reason why numbers are down!!!

Thailand tourism despite its constant rants about Chinese tourists has always wished for quality tourists rather than quantity tourists and its very true which is the preferred tourist by the hospitality operators. So now 1 of these budget traveller countries is not coming they are squealing like stuck pigs!!! I say great, spend your time and effort attracting larger spending travellers !! BTW its April and bloody hot so maybe thats a contributing factor that these morons have overlooked!! Vietnam has the same issue!

that's also a strong possibility

When will RTP become consistent and law abiding, obviously the bar didnt put enough in the brown envelope!! Thailand when will you rise above all this corruption, it is endemic in your society and will continually disadvantage your nations 3rd world status society!!

The moral of the story is stay away from all drugs, even overuse of cannabis isn't clever and so often leads to using other drugs despite what all the weed smokers will claim. I guess you can say the same for alcohol so everything in moderation is smart!!

It makes no difference what you cut off, individuals with an XY chromosome pairing are typically male, while those with an XX pairing are typically female.

Quite likely he was not drinking exactly what he was ordering, methanol etc can be lethal and when it comes to money peoples morals so often become non existent! Very sad for his family and friends! I hope forensics reveal the real autopsy details ??? Last night in my restaurant a couple came in to order takeaways, she had obviously been drinking and during the short time they were here she collapsed in my toilet, her boyfriend called an ambulance and she left on a stretcher barely conscious, you have to be so careful what & where you drink!

Well its Thailand isn't it and the rest of south east Asia mostly the same!!

It certainly does sound Vietnamese!

I am with Trump, there are only 2 genders, male & female!! All this Ladyboy, transgender & Kathoey stuff is just plain nonsense!!

Chinese standards & workmanship, are you surprised! CREC & CRCG did a few projects in Papua New Guinea when I lived there, same level of workmanship, 1 of their high rise projects got condemned for substandard materials and failing to install as per stipulated materials! It the same all over the Pacific where they win contracts on price and brown envelopes, cut corners like this latest debacle in Bangkok, so nothing has changed, I guess they fit in quite well in Thailand!!!

Give him a night I the lock up for unacceptable public behaviour & for creating a disturbance, 2nd offence a fine and a night in the lock up! He needs to be taught social etiquette!

What about Thailand's recent deportation of the Uyghers to china and the treatment they will likely receive once back in China!! "This groundbreaking initiative marks a major step forward in aligning Thai law enforcement practices with global human rights standards, reinforcing the RTP’s commitment to public safety, legal compliance, and ethical policing"
