There is no comparison to Thaksin who was elected by 26 million people and the dwarf usurper. Thaksin would win again if he was allowed to run.
Thaksin is a hero compared to this guy.
Decades- which is why I know so much about Thailand. I followed the whole story of the building of the airport. It's a symbol to the Thai people of Thaksin who 'got things done'
'Without Thaksin we wouldn't have a new airport'
These were the sentiments expressed to me by Thais after its completion. The farang who call it swampy are similar to the farang on Sukhumvit Asoke who supported the coup. Basically they are manipulated into a pro 'certain institution ' and military and anti Thaksin position without even knowing it.
I am still here! I was here when it was being built. I was here when it was completed. I was here when the silly name calling started. There were even cartoons featuring snakes around an airport construction site in Private Eye. The issue is that only ill informed pretentious people call Suvarnabhumi airport 'swampy'. Yes the origins of the term Swampy relate to the construction site area. But the insults about it, health insurance and other Thaksin policies originate from that era and from anti Thaksin sentiment. The fact that some people are not politically astute enough to understand the origins of slogans and phrases from a past era is not surprising. Some people prefer to remain ignorant. That is their perogative
Does it provide an ironing service? Does the OP know there are dozens of excellent laundry services provided on nearby every soi in Thailand. Cheap and excellent service
How many times do we praise movies? The subjects arise in conversations but generally speaking I dont count how many times I praise or criticise a movie either in conversations or threads but if it's useful I'm happy to reference things quite frequently such as breaking bad and the wire. Many different aspects of the production to praise. Why? Have you got a problem. Do you want to set a limit? In a 99 pages horizontal thread shows get mentioned dozens of times. BTW What production are you referring to? You didn't make that clear
Tattoos have sacred significance in Thai and Khymer culture and have been around for hundreds, maybe thousand years.
All over the world the fashion, not fad, for Tattoos has grown. The first time I saw them on women was 1974 in India in Goa.
It seems the police with unusual efficiency have caught a suspect in the terrible shooting of the 9 year old mite last last week.

However there will be repercussions for a long time. The missing coke hasn't been recovered. The two gangs have not settled their differences. This is just the beginning of a very sad long story- one of many such stories from a violent dysfunctional country relying on a discredited police force.
