Iceland is in the Top 10? With a population of just over 380k, I imagine everyone has partner up with everyone! Finland and Norway aren't too far off either!

the list should actually say Thailand's Billionaires of Chinese descent.

Looks he was a willing participant to test out the effectiveness of the whip.😂

Or Cambodia and the Philippines

Are we surprised?? This arrest is more about Thailand as a refuge or bastion for foreign criminals than anything else.

As Thai people say, " Ai Kwai!!"

"Married in 2023 to his 47-year-old wife from Isaan, after four years of online courtship" I stop reading right there and then. 😂😂😂

I've noticed the tight, fitted police uniforms after a few visits to Thailand. My Thai wife said it's because most Thai men are very vain and want to look good so they have their uniforms tailored made.

Welcome to Southeast Asia. They take cock fighting seriously!

"Bangkok police officers demonstrated integrity" 🤣

All that you stated is probably why the Philippines isn't high on most tourist's list. I would wager to say that half of those visiting the P.I. are overseas Filipinos, Filipinos wives and their foreign husbands, and mongers. Discover the Top 10 Most Visited Countries in Asia 2023 (planetasia.org)

makes you wondered this dote became a millionaire in the first place!

I think some posters assumed I live in Thailand with my response to this OP. I should have clarified that my home is in California and my lifestyle is different than the ex-pats in LOS. I'm happy for those who have EV in Thailand and it's working out for them.

you are right, I don't live in Thailand. everything else you posted has nothing to do with my lifestyle. I'm glad it works out for you.

If I never hear sandbox and Phuket in one sentence ever again, it would be too soon!!!

I am the last guy to defend Chinese products, but in China you can buy a solid EV for 10k USD. Japanese and American EV are better quality, but they are too damn expensive for what you get. they tried to justify the price with all these hi-tech gadgets you don't really need. until the mileage range on EV increase, more charging stations become available, and prices come down to reasonable levels, I won't entertain the idea of buying one.

and the rest are romance princes.

that would hurt the pristine reputation of Thailand. 🤣

Thai basher?? Far from it. I'm married to a Thai and have beautiful mixed Thai children. On top of that, I'm of S E. Asian descent. I guess you can't detect sarcasm in my original post. It's ok. Have a pleasant day.

Don't assume I'm a pale face you simpleton

Who would have thought cheap Thai laborers were vital to Finland's berry industry. S. Korea's manufacturing or Israel's agriculture. Thailand has lots of problems, chief among them is the lack of entry level job opportunities that can provide adequate pay for its citizens to survive without having to leave the country to look for low paying jobs elsewhere.

We can say the same thing about Thailand 🤣

That's so unfortunate

Thai police bever missed a photo opportunity!! You would think they were involved in arresting a dangerous gang with that many staff in the picture

Ypur typical Thai usually settles disputes or disagreement with violence. It's in their DNA.
