Very sadly most governments lie, that is the present state of humanity! The USA and their CIA would have to be the biggest hypocrites on the planet. You think they are the good guys until you learn the truth!

Koh Samui general hospital which is the government public hospital in Nathong, doubt what you like Mike!

Last year I went to a public hospital in Koh Samui, saw a doctor and requested a colonoscopy due to the fact that I had lost a lot of weight in the last 6 months, the following week I had the colonoscopy which cost around THB 20,000. I had no polyps so no extra charges. I also received quotes from several hospitals in Surat Thani and Bangkok who willingly quoted me for the procedure. Reading comments from others on this forum where they say public hospitals will not perform this is incorrect.

There is some truth in what you say and the same should apply to Russian's Putin who has taken part of the Ukraine and wants to take more. He needs to get out of Georgia & Balarus and where ever else he has his armies!

Yes thats very true, I still say the leaders of that sad era and those that assured them that Iraq had WPM should be held accountable for their treacherous lies. But it doesnt make the more recent actions of Hamas & Isis any less brutal or acceptable!

it used to be very easy given its a tax free haven, not sure if its still the same.

If you can't get enough booze and bar girls by 2am there's something wrong with you, this will just increase crime, road accidents and all the BS that goes with the type of patrons who will frequent the establishments in these hours.

Expect to see a rise in these types of crimes with Thailand's new visa rules and their quest for attracting supposed "quality" tourists. They just dont see the bigger picture and think its very clever sucking up to the leaders of certain nations! You reap what you sow Thailand!

Did you really expect anything different, it will just increase the amount of brown envelopes of which the RTP will be the beneficiaries!

It sounds like a fairly standard occurrence in Thailand, I see these antics daily so why is this news I wonder?

What would a board of enquiry establish, the vessel was already badly listing when it got hit by big seas. So why was the vessel even out there given it had an obvious problem. Poor maintenance initiated the problem and incompetency sealed its fate!

A Frigate makes a lot more sense and given that they recently lost a vessel due to poor maintenance and incompetency hopefully they can maintain a new Frigate and operate it with a higher level of competency than a submarine!

The problem with 90% of the "greenies" is they take all of these aspects or scenarios beyond what is sensible to the stage that they are environmentally damaging. The global Electric Vehicle push is & will substantially increase carbon emissions but the sheep leading the sheep are too stupid to see this. They see less fossil fuel powered vehicles on the road and more EV's but forget how these electric powered vehicles are made, the increase in fossil fuel powered machinery to extract raw materials, the cost of these raw materials, the fossil fuel powered manufacturing process and finally the environmental disaster disposing of the batteries after they fail and are no longer serviceable. I guess its a bit like the Covid con which made a few people very rich and many very poor, but as long as the rich get richer, the Greenies get their reckless ideas instated then why should they care, even at the expense of our planet.

I think you need to consult another doctor! Sugar MSG Sodium Toxic cooking oil Flavour enhancers That's the very short list but after your food in the USA Thai food is probably ok

Well the new Thai leader (Shrep) is embracing the Russians and their fine upstanding leader like the previous government did with the Chinese. With an influx of these suggested "quality" tourists other tourists will start looking for destinations elsewhere.

If the actual indoor terminal temperature was 25.5C no one should be complaining, I suspect that the picture in this article was not the actual terminal temperature, more like what it should be! Typical muppet show, someone needs to complain before they realise the temperature has gone up and they have a chiller out! BTW a chiller is not a compressor but with a chiller not working the compressor will overheat and should cut out!

Maybe he is on R&R from the illegal invasion and thought he could carry on as usual while abroad!

Whilst there is some truth in what you say I feel your knowledge of Thailand is somewhat limited or maybe a little naive!

Whilst being neutral may have benefits it would be nice to see a Thai leader leading by example with real morals but looking at global leaders not too many display that quality, obviously "Shrek", the talking donkey falls in that category!

Thai PM really wants to be part of the "rogue nations" group, maybe not up to speed with current International affairs, or is he just say, "very naïve" to put it politely?

Thailand doesnt need to take sides but a voice of responsibility outlawing invasions of other countries and the actions of murderess regimes would be a responsible approach. Even if they repeatably voiced that dialogue and not war was a their more favourable approach instead of supporting rogue leaders.

Typical Thailand, the recently unelected PM sucking up to these rogue nation leaders! Xi with double standards for supporting the murderess Putin and the Myanmar Junta, declares his opposition to Israel's war on Hamas but not Putin in the Ukraine!!!! Myanmars Junta's recent pease accord anniversary with the following foriegn attendees and after just bombing village after village killing many woman & children. "Chinese Special Envoy for Asian Affairs Deng Xijun, along with the deputy Indian national security advisor and the Thai foreign minister, addressed the event, displaying their support for the regime" Its hard to believe the integrity of humanity.

Well that would mean purging the local police force then wouldn't it!

Obviously the 'Brown envelopes" are substantial as Thailand has no use or need for a submarine and do not have the expertise to operate or maintain such a vessel. They cannot even maintain the coastal vessels they have, it is a pending disaster!
