Threats of defamation and violence due to opinions posted about the pimps brothel. As he shot his ex gf and his business partner he was a proven criminal thug who would stop at nothing.

Absolutely not, what for? apart from online I avoid them like the plague. I have met three in the past 12 years all were interested in Thai music, one was writing a book on it.

Food, religion and music IS the culture. No better way of getting to know Thais than being in a crowd of hundreds with them at a concert.

I'm going to see her sing she's one of the countries most famous singers

Lamyai is 25 now 😁

My dream on a bike, seeing her this week, she's 25 and sings.

Wanted child abuser who skipped the UK was nabbed after 7 years in Bang Na by his use of the same ATM to take cash out.

Used to go to a few Nanaplaza.com meetings, 1999-2005 as it turned out I wish I had never heard of them, I avoid all foreigners in person since then. I was extorted by a bar owing advertiser on there, my wife was threatened and followed home from work with attempts made to find her room number, the usual threats about immigration, blacklisting and violence. In those days many knew each other real names, not a good idea. Happily the bar owner was shot dead 2 years ago after gunning down his ex and business partner.

Re Taylor Swift, don't know anything about her but appears to be a woke feminist hypocrite

Her recent film was packed out with Thai youngsters in Bangkok, they may not have much in the way of speaking skills, but many understand and can follow English songs well enough.

Who is forcing folk music on anyone in Thailand to indoctrinate them and where? Thai music is one of the most varied forms of music there is. Nobody is obliged to listen or watch anything. Ying Lee was great last night

seeing her again on Tuesday, incomparable Lamyai

Judging from the reports in Thai media, Elton did not put on a 'show' people paying up to 9k baht expect more than a fat old gezzer sitting at the piano, madge and potty mouth were not a success either. You guess wrong

Another one who came here and did not fall in love with the culture then 😄 its far more enjoyable than most western music

Bangkok is but the venues are not, its the football stadium or impact, which they built with no main transport links. Getting out of there after a concert and trying to get a van or taxi is murder. Bitec does not really do many then there is the Sirikit centre and Thai Cultural centre but too small for big concerts.

Its the main reason I am here, just got in from a great concert Ying Lee, Yuki, Lamyong, Biotoy etc, great dancers-150 baht for 5 hours. We never even paid singers gave us free tickets and Japanese fans bought us beer. Been to about 1200 concerts here over 25 years.

It looks OK what wrong with it? good enough for potty mouth Cardi B. Only went once to one Pattaya music festival concert, horrible atmosphere and laughable security taking umbrellas off people as well as cutting the tops off water bottles.

Not for girls or ladyboys

Yes, amusing court decision this week convicting one silly girl of supporting Hamas at one of those annoying free Palestine demos in London, let off by the muslim judge. She is an asylum seeker in UK from Gaza- who claimed her life had been threatened by Hamas.😁

But the religion was founded by a self confessed terrorist so is fair comment, or should be. Forgotten Oct 7th already or the so called 'insurgency' in the south and several other countries? I would suggest it's not such a good idea to encourage the followers of the fake prophet as tourists.

Almost everything has meat or fish it it, so almost never

They might want to up their game with the Haroon Mosque or is it Hron, hardly a world class tourist attraction

But only one world religion was founded by a slave owning thief, killer and child abuser who admitted spreading his nasty ideas by terror, who they all worship. That has consequences, even in Thailand.

Those using agents often dont know where they are supposed to be living in another province they got the extension from, no maps need from them! 😉

This is Thailand, why should the radio have western music all over it? Normal music for Thai is luktung, morlam, phua cheewit, string etc not western sounds. People will never be demanding international bands beyond a few such as Blackpink or BTS while they have such great music of thier own, one thing Thais have a genius for is music. Thailand does not need inflated western ego's, some with minimal talent coming at enormous cost. The few that have appeared here like Elton John, the Gaga woman and potty mouthed Cardi B have not gone down that well. For tickets costing thousands of baht Thais expect to see a show and be entertained, turning up is not enough.
