precisely!!

We the public get told so many lies and in many instances the main stream media is the biggest distorter of the truth, especially when it comes to politics & money. However I am sure the Harris campaign gobbled up a huge amount of money that has a questionable distribution chain, remember the BLM scenario! I guess choosing Harris was like backing a draft horse in a sprint race and if she is the best candidate the democrats can offer then fortunately for Americans the Republicans won!

Very obviously they knew he had crypto so the assailants were most likely known by the victim!!!

Many Thais that moved abroad mainly for marriage gain PR status and are quite happy to do so. If their children are born abroad most countries recognise this and they can easily apply for PR, Its about time Thailand moved on from the last century and had some reciprocal laws without the interference of small minded individuals with overly nationalistic views !!!

I first visited Phuket in 1988 and it truly was then a magnificent destination, I rented a Suzuki 4wd and drove myself and a couple of Austrian ladies that I met the day of my arrival around the island for the next 10 days. We had a ball and those ladies both cried when I departed 10 days later saying it was such a wonderful place to visit and they had enjoyed every minute of their stay. Bangla road was really very quaint with half a dozen bars and about as many restaurants. I returned 25 years later and couldn't believe my eyes or how the very nature of what Phuket was had deteriorated. I blame the governor's of the island for allowing it to become what it has, however these taxi Mafia are also on Ko Samui so not just a problem in Phuket and with the same lack of action from the authorities!

Did he really kick her or was it a nudge to move her on? Why did she return after apologising on the first encounter, also the court initially found in his favour! If he did in fact actually kick her then he should pay the price of assault but somehow I believe there is more to this story! It does seem that he is an angry man if the reporting is factual but again we know how inaccurate & misleading reporting in Thailand can be. We also know the brown envelope scenario!!!

It amazes me how blindly naïve a population can be, Biden is a dottery old man unfit to hold the position and his current VP despite not being old is no better choice, maybe worse! She has changed many of the Dems policies just to get elected and once in office it will be back to the status quo and the US will sink further than it already has!!

Maybe not quite the appropriate place for scantily clad ladies to be dancing but it looked like harmless fun to me! I guess the Police had to issue the reprimand statement regarding the incident but I bet underneath they were smiling and why not.

There are many cost effective ways for providing simple basic ammenities, if Thailand wants foreign tourists that spend then provide the basic's otherwise the streets and beaches will be covered in litter, garbage and urine which is already a problem! If thats the way Thai's want to live so be it, quality tourist numbers will eventually decline, Chinese & Indian's will feel quite at home given similar scenarios in their home countries & the Thai people will be the looser's

If he didnt stop to assist the person he just skittled he will more than likely have done a runner!! Again an indication of Thailands driving standards and the authorities total inadequate response to these situations are the real reason the standards here are so poor!

Quite honestly where are they supposed to urinate given that there are most likely no public toilets in the area. Thailand wants tourism but lacks foresight in providing public ammenities like toilets and garbage bins. This is an ongoing problem all over Thailand and the government keeps talking about promoting tourism yet has no idea about providing the ammenities needed to service the people/tourists!

So you feel the current drivers licence test is adequate do you?? and enforcement is what I posted!!! And the fact that the bus owner was able to substitute the correct gas bottles without compliance !!!

Thailands road fatalities is an indication of the authorities lack of enforcing the laws of Thailand and changing the laws to be in line with modern day standards starting with the Thai driving licence tests, public motor vehicle inspections and road safety standards. The driving standards in Thailand are attrocious to say the least and the law is constantly disregarded by vehicle owners and drivers themselves. Its in your face every time you drive down the road and the police in 95% of the time do zero!!! Drivers need proper driving education, testing stations need to adhere to & enforce the correct standards & Thai road law enforcement need to get off their backsides and enforce the laws! The recent bus tragedy is just an indication of the poor level of ethics, morals and intelligence of both the vehicle owner and the driver!

How many people in Thailand eat Vegemite ??????

The bus tragedy was a sad day for Thailand but again it is an indication of Thai peoples ethics, education and poor standards just to make a dollar! So its all connected, an F1 street race in Thailand would be disasterous given their levels of safety, integrity and lack of attention to detail. Buriram track would be ok but too far off the beaten track with insufficient supporting infrastructure.

Maybe she has a crystal ball and can predict future abnormal weather patterns!!

The lack of discipline and the dismal safety standards would be the first hurdle! The ethics and morals of the authorities there would be the next and so on! A country with one of the highest road fatalities on the planet speaks for itself, the carrot for the FIA would have to be ginormous!!!!

That's fairly normal behaviour from the owners here in Thailand !!!

When it comes to money which the ring is Thai's have a whole different perspective on what is fair & reasonable, the law means little as wealth is above all!!!

Well it depends on who is awake and who isn't!

Given what has been revealed and what many of us knew in the first few months of the "pandemic" this is hard to believe! Shame on you NZ government!!!

How much did he make from the last pandemic !!! Maybe he is missing his little jaunts to Epstien's island!! The world really can do without people who leech off others for their own means!

Its difficult to see if he kicked her intentionally or he slipped, either way he has been acquitted. But his swearing at the 2 ladies is hardly an appropriate way to speak to a stranger, especially a lady. His actions certainly suggest that he an aggressive person so I hope he at the least got reprimanded for that outburst whether he paid hush money or not!!!

Divorced and severely ripped off, my own fault! I was way to trusting and generous only to be manipulated, lied to and stolen from, and of course now slandered!!! I am sure there are many Thai ladies that make great partners but most Thai's have an extreme love of money that often over rides ethics and morals of the western world, I am quite sure these over sights are known to Thai's but old habits die hard and override what they most likely know will be problematic in a relationship. Its easy to be wise afterwards, set a firm precedent from the start and dont let the situation become available and your relationship will have a greater chance of survival.

Russia, China, Iran, India & Thailand in various ways support the illegally instated Burmese Junta for their own financial gains. The Junta are committing atrocities against the people daily, destroying infrastructure, bridges, schools, hospitals, places of worship and thousands of peoples homes, this is a known fact yet these neighbouring countries & others continue supporting this genocide of the Burmese people. The so called army are currently getting their arses kicked by the rebel armies who are fighting for their lives & some sort of self rule based on a democracy. To add to this the generals and their cronies are stealing the wealth of Burma from the state & the people whether it be properties, business's or recourses and destroying the peoples ability to make a living. Inflation is out of control, the rule of law is whatever suits the Junta on the day and yet the likes of China & Russia being the 2 biggest supporters continue to prop up this atrocity purely for their own means. What has the world come to, why do these leaders have no shame, no ethics or morals?
