They should be grateful that is all the US is doing, just be glad that Thailand isn't caught up in a proxy war like Ukraine or like Lao was. If Thailand had oil, you could bet that the US would be in Thailand setting up a different puppet government.

This is exactly why the unelected PM set up the senate like he did, those in power are reluctant to give up that power. I think the problem is not the senators, but who controls the senators. Power corrupts people. What is the difference between the Myanmar and the Thai Juntas? I think very little.

Once I move there, I just may want to give rides out for free as a retirement hobby, as long as I don't make money it should be legal, Who knows maybe I can get my other retired military buddies to do the same ????

Walk away alive and educated, instead of being the next member of the Pattaya Flyers club. You can not win in Thailand.

Hmm, a rich hotel owner suggesting a higher taxes on foreigners, until the travelers get tired of being milked for more money for the rich or corrupt and go to Cambodia and Vietnam and cause the Thai economy to tank again. This guy can go suck a lemon.

Poorly educated and misguided youth, just like the ones dressing in Nazi outfit in Thailand. Thailand education put's Thailand at the center of the world, rightly or wrongly. Would the Internet be so upset if he didn't identify himself as "Dahmer" ?

Welcome to Thailand, where money is 1st and safety is 5th or 8th. It's sad but appears to be a fact.

Ah, the fragile Thai male ego ????

I wonder if any little white envelopes passed through hands? We have the heir to the REB Bullsh@T fortune escape justice because of his family is rich, I am would bet this one will also escape justice as one man could not amass a fortune like his without the knowledge of others.

I'll go for number 5 above.

Something tells me that he may turn up catus, if he keeps ratting out a Chinese mobster or bent police.

Thailand is rooted in corruption and will always be, unless the youth are taught better. Nothing happens in Thailand without little envelopes being passed around. Certin law enforcements agencies have been called out numerous times on this very platform for being corrupt, Joe Farri and the ones running a extortion schemes in night life areas. You have to start at the top and follow the Baht downwards.

Most Thais dont seem to have any aesthetic sense (I wonder if this evolves with rational thought) and are quite content to live in squalor....and have relationships with fat, ugly,  wrinkly old men (Thank god...555).

Don't forget "Mostly" bald 

This is interesting to say the least, the problem is that plastic waste has become a "Product" in Thailand and it is bought and sold as such. When there is a product and profit to be made, you get greed and corruption, although I am sure there is no corruption in Thailand. There is an organzation in Thailand that auction off the plastic to the highest bidders, so the price is never the same. The auctioned plastic is used to make more plastics, hence never really removing the plastic problem, just kicking it down the road to another generation to deal with. Thailand will never change and the same "families" (not referring to the big Family) will control everything until the bloody end.
