Mr Meeseeks

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.

Certainly. History proves that they steal individual personal wealth and kill people with almost total impunity.

Pure, unadulterated fantasy.

Which is detrimental to the rest of Asia and Africa in particular. Once it starts to go bad it will be the biggest economic disaster the World has ever seen.

There's also a knock on effect to the Thai property market which will see the first real crash here in many years. I'm sitting on the sidelines waiting to see what develops. It's starting now with Evergrande, and I believe we're weeks away from a massive crash. Asia, because of its reliance on China, will bear the brunt of it. Get out of stocks and fiat and into Crypto and metals; Gold and Silver etc. They will be the only safe havens once it starts.

Meme coins will often pump big but volatility is high. Invest in tech and grow your portfolio as adoption increases with less risk.

It's not a crime unless a Thai court convicts. Precedent already been set with Thammanat.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

That's one scheme for sure. A lot of the higher end luxury and supercars are stolen from the UK then imported as legit, with the aid of corrupt customs officials. Been going on for years.

There are none so blind as those that will not see.

It starts with the culture of money worship unfortunately. Gold idols, gilded temples, praying for money... etc.

There is only one way it will evolve and that is through education.
