much more difficult these days, when the majority in your government, businesses, and industries are run by Chinese descent.

There you go, the true leader of LOS has spoken. 😉

Well that didn't take long. Pati's first order of business will be clearing the good name of her beloved father. 😂

She is Chinese

I mentioned before, South Korean men are becoming the leading menace in Thailand as of late. -He admitted to entering Thailand unlawfully -A search of the house resulted in the discovery of various illegal drugs. These included 1.5 grams of crystal meth, 0.4 grams of ecstasy, and some drug-related equipment -According to the police report, in 2015, Jinjong overstayed his visa by about five years, or 1,864 days

Yes, the police are really that bad!

Imagine that? a large group of Middle Easterns in the same place not getting along??

as long as these " little ghosts" persist in SK, the rules will continue to be strict.

Korean men are slowly claiming the worst tourist title. Warrants Out for 3 Koreans in Bangkok-Pattaya Murder; Thai Police Request Extradition (khaosodenglish.com) Overstayed Visa Leads to Downfall of Korean Drug Smuggler in Pattaya (khaosodenglish.com)

"MOPH’s plan to rub out" 🤣

Weakening yen sees number of Thai tourists visiting Japan soar (nationthailand.com) the weakened yen has made Japan very attractive to many tourists around the world. it's a great time to visit because the yen won't stay down too long.

which means he absolutely will!

I guess his Yak Sant tattoos didn't protect him from the authorities.

It's difficult for tourists in LOS to respect the country and its way of life when most of the native population don't.

as the saying goes, the more things changed, the more they stay the same. TIT

a dichotomy in this post is that Iran would never allow one day of Pride in their country.

I was not referring to this particular article. I was referencing to the past practice of the Thai government and her people's penchant for claiming all things Thai even though it was created or built by the Khmer culture. the dispute over Preah Vihear is a prime example.

they rather drink poison before that ever happens!

that's because it is. anything older than 700 years old in Thailand is usually Khmer, Mon, or Burmese. But the typical Thai ego believe that it belongs to " Thai" culture since it was produced on their soil regardless of origin.

LOL!! that's a blast from the past!

they're lucky they were caught in Cambodia. That much amount would have them facing the death sentence in Viet Nam or Indonesia.

good information. And it won't be long until Viet Nam surpasses Thailand as well.

the man spends more time travelling the world for handouts than previous PM and when he isn't flying around the world, he's on about idiotic schemes and ridiculous hubs to get FDI.

ladyboy and Indian are a match made in Pattaya!

I have often told my Thai wife that the difference between Thailand and Viet Nam is that Viet Nam doesn't claim to be a democracy. Before any posters think I'm way off, look closely how both countries control their media, newspaper outlets, foreign relations with China and Russia, the wealth distribution, the out of control corruption at every level of society. The similarities are endless. Lastly, Thailand has the royal family and hiso in control, in Viet Nam is the powerful Communist Politburo with an exclusive 200k party membership and all the benefits for its family and friends. Sound familiar??
