Sure they will, Right after they figure out how to tax the 75% of the population that has never declared earnings.

hardly a short story.

Its a special look. Special.

According to your post above, you were there. How could I possibly argue with that?

Sure would be nice if they ever had a decent sativa dominant option. I get baked every day before a run, bike ride, gym or wakebaord session. Indica just doesn't cut it.

when you say "folk like you" do you mean current generations left to deal with policy choices voted in by bigoted geriatrics who will not live long enough to pay for their choices? But wait, they are paying now, aren't they?

I read your post then had to check your post count. I would have though by know you would understand that post count means <deleted> all. i was wrong

Thank you. For decades i have watched people on TV an AN trot out this fiction as the key to understanding Thailand. It wasn't accurate then and it decidedly dated now.

What?

What does this have to do with the "HiSos". The HiSos as you call them are already travelling with impunity. Wealth is its own passport.

at least he wasn't eating at McDonalds.

obviously. Quoting facts as supported by a BMI chart anyone can read is down right unreasonable.

Colour me unsurprised.

As i recall, any visa application in Cambodia or Vietnam has traditionally been more difficult than say Laos or Penang. KL and Singapore have also traditionally been a pain

in that case I would very seriously consider slimming down. You aren't obese, but you are high mid overweight when it comes to your BMI (a flawed metric, i realize)

Im 5'8, 172 cm and change, not a dwarf, certainly not a giant. 76+ kg for me would be 10-12 kilos overweight. In my mind that is a massive overage

no, it really isn't

Do what works for you, but rather than highly restrictive dieting why not strike a happier medium of exercise and dieting? Assuming you are not somehow debilitated, join a gym, go for a daily swim, walk, hike, bike ride or some sort of regular exercise you can sustain. That will be far more beneficial to your health than cutting out all your favourite foods -- unless of course your current diet consists primarily of booze and sugar. You are also far more likely to meet a livelier group of people if you get out there.

The cultural assumption is that most people are right handed. that is why they use their left hand to clean their buttholes and the right hand for eating. In Thailand and many asian countries it is considered very rude to use your left hand to hand people things because that is the hand you use to clean your bits. it is a belief that seems to be waning

Was this before or after the assassination attempt?

Seem to be expending a whole lot of effort for "dont care." I suppose you need to keep busy somehow.

You ignored the main point, mass shootings. The US is ahead by several orders of magnitude on that one. https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/mass-shootings-by-country/

Set up an alert. notify yourself

no, that is one side of the coin. But the fact that he accepted the rate makes his behavior afterwards ridiculous. You don't agree to pay a taxi driver 500 baht to go one kilometre and cry scam upon arrival. You shut the door and move on. The fact that he felt the need to recount the story here in an attempt to seek validation is equally ridiculous. I also question whether or not he was as blatantly disrespected as he claims.

So are the men who frequent them. Generally older gents clinging to the past. Today folks use the interwebs to meet, and the girls in bars get taken out so rarely they dedicate their efforts to extracting cash in the form of lady drinks. The problem there is lady drinks have become so expensive and they are so demanding it is far cheaper to actually go hang out somewhere nice, have a decent coacktail and get something good to eat.
