The old "two wrongs make it right" chestnut?

People would have to be pretty dumb or cynically nasty to not think it was to avoid retribution, which doesn't matter if they did anything wrong or not?

Why did you have to wait 1/2 hour before explaining you wanted a TIN? Could you not get a word in edgeways? Otherwise it sounds like you were getting a shakedown.

Well I've lived in Thailand over 40 years and never heard of this. Maybe foreigners who are in places of work, but not heard of the RD coming to peoples homes as you suggest.

Much like the hundreds of thousands of other expats who never read AN-news I expect. Imagine a Thailand without this web site and no one would even be discussing TINs or changes in tax laws of which there are no changes. Don't you think if something had changed for expats authorities would go out of their way to inform said expats and not assume they all read AN-news.

Cue the crowd size memes.

Social media algorithms can create echo chambers where people see only information that confirms their existing beliefs. This can reinforce partisan narratives and tribalism that can make no sense.

From reading your partisan opinions day in day out, it seems to be on your mind 24/7.

Some "netizens" need to get a life.

He could have been from any one of over 200 countries - why the stereotyping?

I would suggest picking a conspiracy theorist over science for health secretary shows the electorate now display a lack of critical thinking skills, from years of disinformation campaigns and social media echo chambers have eroded trust in reliable sources of information. That is clear also on forums like this which leads to tribalism in the US where many voters now see politics as a zero-sum game where its either “owning the libs” or “defeating the MAGA crowd”. Schools have a responsibility here as well. People today are often digitally savvy but lack the critical thinking skills necessary to distinguish reliable information online from fake news or conspiracy theories.

“Vaccine shedding” is a term you’ll sometimes hear, but it’s often misunderstood and misused. The idea behind it is that people vaccinated against a certain disease can somehow “shed” the disease and infect unvaccinated people. However, that’s not possible with the COVID-19 vaccine. Let me explain why in simple terms: Vaccines work by stimulating your body’s immune response, so it can recognize and fight off a virus if you’re exposed to it. Claims of vaccine shedding have often been linked to fears or conspiracy theories about mRNA or spike proteins spreading and causing harm to unvaccinated individuals. There is no scientific evidence to support these claims. Spike proteins produced as a result of mRNA vaccines are not infectious and cannot replicate or spread to others.

It would take a person of imbecilic excess to not expect detainment for an act like this.

International waters pet, not his decision to make.

Whilst at the same time threatening to invade NATO countries like Denmark.

Where does it say the same tourist group were in both the bus and boat accidents? Not even the DM which is not the most reliable rag says that in the story?

De facto please!

Its sad you don't understand racist hate speech. Just look up the speech on the net - from it translated as "… and noses are so flat… difficult to breath… but apparently, they’re hired to be world class models, making millions… but our people are better looking…" doesn't seem like free speech to most reasonable thinking people.

I suppose the irony is lost on you. We all know what happens when Trump loses. 2021 ring any bells in that hollow head?

Farage would have orchestrated the 'apparent' turning by asking him beforehand to do so, to distance himself from the idiot.

I didn't know that.

My guess is the MD who prescribed it has the experience.

I cannot understand it! As much as I despise Phuket and its taxis, if as a customer you cannot pay with the current currency then the added inconvenience is on the passenger and any additional costs. Isn't that how the entire world works?

It must be tormenting waking up each day trolling for conspiracy theories to spout off ad infinitum? Like a never-ending rabbit hole of suspicion and paranoia, where every event is viewed through a lens of conspiracy and hidden agendas. For a conspiracy theorist, it's not just a hobby or something they do occasionally—it's a worldview that colors everything they encounter. They spend their days scouring the internet, combing through obscure sources, and connecting seemingly unrelated events to construct a narrative that fits their preconceived notions.
