There are many monks who are not real monks, but with a past.. Why is a new order not allowed in fact? In Christianity there are many abbeys and religious people who founded a new order....Ther is no claim on the right religion and as long as they don't harm anyone there is no problem imo

Nope. They have 99% tolerance nowadays. I vape regularly while I'm out and about, even on Suk and Silom areas; no one cares now

 

I flew to Phnom Penh last week and had vapes / pods in my carry on for all to see on the way out. In Cambodia (where they've banned it twice) I easily picked up a couple of disposables on the first day. Brought one back a few days later and was walking around BKK, puffing away (in the smoking area)

 

Just got to be careful about the 100ml limit if transporting juices 🙂

 

 

you can vape but it is forbidden, as we could read some months ago... Even shops are being closed for selling .... But indeed they tolerate it and i see a lot of teachers, police  offers, and military vape too.. How can they forbid something that is already normal in the society???  Same They never can forbid cannabis anymore...

Same as the cannabis.. First speak and do and than think and when the big problems occur, it was a misunderstanding... How can they do business with all countries if they only keep their own currencies

It is not the aging that is pretended here, but the many lives lost in traffic accidents that makes it seems that aging is the problem. Many young people die or are disabled and therefor can't contribute to the economy. Result less births, more poverty as many times the person who brings in the money is involved, and more debts.. A problem that the Government has to solve by good education, driver schools, and decent wages..But as long as the idea is keep the people poor and divide to get richer every year, the problems will get bigger

They are referring to students on school property.  

I don't think so....Thailand has has zero tolerance for e-cigarettes as we have read before on tourists

Schengen countries must all agree to a visa waiver for Thailand and that will never happen, as there are too many Thais already overstaying/illegal working in other countries.. And not all Schengen countries are also EU members

the question is why??? Thailand such good friends with Iran??? Better should choose other friends than

I was recently talking to a Lady Thai Maths Teacher who will retire later this year.   When she told me she was a Maths Teacher i said 'Well; i don't mean to insult you perrsonally but after living here for almost 20 years i have yet to meet a Young person who can count lore than the fingers on both hands without the use of a Calculator or Electronic Device ! '     She replied';  ' Well, Thai Kids are generally very lazy and it is not easy to teach them anything that they are not interested in , so we leave it to the Parents to organise additional private lessons if they are worried their Children are not learning enough at School '.

 

Not much hope for the future then !

Indeed there are many private lessons that doesn't add anything to things the students learn at school, only good for the wallet of the teacher and bad for the wallet of the parents.. I know kids that in the long summer break had to go to private lessons every day till Songkran and after Songkran the lessons started again.. When can a kid relax its mind? The parent of the kid said it is good as at home he did not have friends to play with so better go to school....

and you apparently think education is better in western countries .

As usual one has to pay large to get good education and the kids I see ( if they even bother going to school, are a bunch of numpties that probably can't subtract 3 from 5. They are, however, really good at bullying on social media, looking at porn and taking days off to protest about things they don't understand like climate change.

 

You remind me of the difference between free and nothing.  I went to school for free, you  for nothing...

It is no surprise everybody knew that he was already active in politics in Dubai, and now at home he has expanded his power... He thought it be something else?? That is the result of doing something without thinking....

because there are no rubbish collecting points and the garbage trucks don't take everything with them...And try to find garbage boxes somewhere... Not a lot of people wnt to pay to collect their garbage so easier to throw away somewhere else.. 

CC is Government is no problems 

here many parties but no rain as people pray for no rain because there is a party....It is what you believe

Only near schools or everywhere?? Another witch hunt that will not take longer than a few days, as we see with all crackdowns like black smoke cars, wildfires of leaves, etc.

Uh, don't you mean keep these jobs for ONLY Thais, regardless of the quality of the services rendered?

everything, every job is protected and only for  Thais... that is why it is so difficult to get work or volunteer jobs in Thailand.. A foreigner is not allowed to do something a Thai can do, so in fact we are not allowed to do anything....Outdated labour laws

They are not to be blamed... always the others ones......However I never read she was treated as a person with high bloodpressure

Put the whole country and all the cities on the world heritage list.....

2030?? That is long way to go for the Gay Marriage now...

Sure, I see the difference. Do you mean that it would be sensible for another 10 to go the same way to see any change? The difference, I see, is that they must deal with the problems another way. Taking your own life is not the way. Never said it was not worth fighting for, just not by killing yourself.

She is a martyr now as you said yourself and martyr can reach a lot if you look in the past. It needs courage to die for things you believe in.. That is why I respect her.. She believed in amending section 112 and died for it and the ones who refuse or hide behind the law should think twice now
