Mr Meeseeks

Gambling is the only way uneducated and stupid people believe they can make life-changing amounts of money. The Thai lottery is a tax on those stupid people.

And look at how Sihanoukville has been totally destroyed by that. Poipet has always been a dump.

You'd come to Thailand for eco tourism? Thailand is one of the World's worst ocean polluters and look at the filth around here... Seems odd.

Not gonna work here without basic driver competence which is the first step they have to implement. Thais simply do not know how to drive as they have never been properly educated. They do not understand basic concepts such as right of way, braking distances, checking mirrors, signaling before maneuvering, lane discipline etc.

Lol pickups are not even quick. Just be thankful that's all these idiots can afford and really powerful cars are scarce here.

Sad that in the 21st century, some humans still exploit animals for profit.

????????????

They should book this guy. This song about the disabled is inspirational.

The star of Gladiator was of course the legendary Ollie Reed. Died in a bar in Malta where they were filming while drinking and arm wrestling Royal Navy ratings.

Shame on this government but more shame on any artist that accepts this kind of money to come here at this time. The regime have previous for this though, remember they paid Federer and Djokovic millions to play an exhibition match for them a few years ago. It's all to satisfy the elites wants, nothing to do with tourism or promoting the country. It should be absolutely clear already, they don't care a jot about the Thai people.

They totally ruined it. Just as they do with everything else. Stupidity and greed win through in the end.

Interesting you chose a picture of soi cowboy which was almost exclusively an expat hangout until the mid-2000's.

Making movies, making songs, fightin' round the World.

Pretty much what I have been saying all along, that this COVID outbreak will be used to rid the country of its sex-tourism and entertainment business and reputation. As you say though, without a plan b, it won't work.

They don't know any other way. A lack of education is apparent.

They are just demonstrating how inadequate and insecure they really are. Unworkable and too pervasive for the vast majority of visitors. Not to mention Thailand has barely a functional database of its own criminals, many of whom end up getting to travel to Western countries regardless of felony convictions. I know of two Thai felons that have gone to Australia and NZ and one ended up living in Aus. Is still there as far as I know. As others have said, get your own house in order first.

Have you told the criminals in brown and green uniforms this?

I flew domestic last week. Vaccine proof required at check-in. No vaxx no boarding pass.

They will probably vote this mob back into power again. Never, ever underestimate the level of stupidity here.

Mass tourism is already dead mate, did you not get the memo?

It will be collected by machine before immigration and apply to foreigners only. Foreigners will have to present the stub at the immigration counter.

I doubt that anarchy would result in more deaths than the wars governments waged in the 20th Century. In fact I would argue that there would be far less deaths if governments were abolished altogether and people started taking responsibility for their own lives.

Yes, sovereign individuality.

They have never been in the black since the turn of the century iirc. They are currently in $14 billion+ worth of debt.

Need an education to achieve such marvels of civilisation unfortunately.
