With Cambodia's current arsenal, there isn't much to fear. However, the border areas should be cautious. It only becomes truly troublesome if third parties get involved. It's also a negative development for tourism.

but they do have slingshots

It seems the Cambodian already shot 1 Thai fighter jet down

Oh man, go live your life. Crybaby.

I’m glad to see people rising up. I sincerely hope it spreads to other European countries. I fear it may already be too late, but perhaps it will still help to some extent. What Brussels is doing can be summed up in one word: DISGRACE.

Some treatments are still cheaper in Thailand than in a Western European country. However, they are working hard to undermine even that added value. The only real advantage left is that there are hardly any waiting times.

Anti-selling can be a brilliant sales strategy. It creates desire. Unfortunately, I don't think it's really going to work in this case (North Korea).

Like so many things, this too is being ruined by the overzealous user/grower. Where years ago you could smoke a joint, get a healthy fit of laughter, feel completely relaxed, and then enjoy a good meal and sleep, the stuff nowadays has been bred to such extremes that it completely knocks you out of this world. I can imagine this leads to many problems, putting the legitimacy of the substance under pressure, turning public opinion against it, and forcing governments to step in by enforcing stricter regulations or even a total ban.

One more reason for me not to take it.

Just call the Dutch. But............. and this is what the Chinese understood better: import all quality and copy it. Learn from it and then continue with your own development. The Chinese were not too stubborn for that. However, it’s different with the Thais

Setting aside your personal feelings and opinions about America, it is unthinkable to completely ignore the United States. Over the past 80 years, it has firmly established its strategic economic position. That’s not something you can simply bypass. Moreover, I believe it would not be beneficial for the global trade balance if America were to completely collapse. I also believe that we should be grateful to America for certain things from the past, whether they were done out of self-interest or not.

Just ask the Catholics, they know all about that.

Whether Trump’s trade war will end up being good or bad for the U.S. is still up in the air. But honestly, I think the bigger issue right now lies with Thailand’s attitude. It’s slowly but surely time for Thailand to realize that it’s not quite the global player it might like to think it is. It’s not an economic powerhouse, it doesn’t have an especially well-educated workforce, and you can’t just ignore a market of over 300 million Americans without facing the consequences. You’re not going to make up for that kind of loss somewhere else. That said, Thailand is a beautiful country, and most people there are genuinely kind and deserve far better than what they’re getting right now.
