    If they enact this through parliament, I would be expecting class action lawsuits

     

    Starting a business involves various types of risk.  In this instance the risk is "regulatory risk", which means that regulations can change in the future and the risk is borne by the entrepreneur or venture, and should have been priced in during inception. 

     

    The big players will have seen this as a possibility and priced it in when starting their ventures, and by spreading the risk throughout the chain. I'd be surprised if any have had enough time to integrate horizontally or vertically, so there will be many bag holders and the pain will be spread around.  Another year should be enough to recoup most of their investments, but woe betide the commercial real estate market unless they can find someone else to fill the void.

     

    I think most Thais were dead set against marijuana legalization and the prior globalist aligned government rammed it through anyways.

    As I said above this is a lift from The Sun and everyone knows that's a trash paper. AN has jus copied it with some changes. This would be acemedic fraud at the very least or plagiarism at worst in education circles as it's unattributed. Basically a stolen article albeit a crap article. 

     

    Or a ticket to run an ivy league university in the US...if the plagarist identifies as one of the oppressed group.

  3. I've been looking at leasing a condo and wondered what the deal is with the units you described.  The last place I rented (35m2, Pattaya side of building) had an inverter mini split and my electricity bills never exceeded 700 baht.

     

    If a new mini spit is only 15k baht (including installation) it might be worth the investment, even for a filthy renter.

    I think you will find he is a Chiropractor working illegally.

     

    This makes perfect sense. Some people get tremendous relief from chiropractic care, and that is in short supply here.

     

    My friend used to visit a chiropractor on the darkside of Pattaya. He went by motorbike taxi, got the cracks, and his back was screwed again from the motorbike taxi by the time he got home.  It was a long time ago, no bolt and very few local taxis.

    Former MP Initiates Legal Action Against Thai Comedian Udom

    Thai comedian, Udom Taepanich, popularly known as Big Nose, finds himself in legal hot water once again. This follows a complaint lodged by former Ratchaburi MP Parina Kraikupt at the Po Tharam Police Station. The news was revealed by journalist Sarayuth Sutthasanachinda on his web page.

     

    Parina's decision to take legal action comes during a controversy involving Udom. Expressing her frustration online, Parina wrote a post stating her inability to ignore Udom's actions. She confessed once being a fan of his but condemned his use of the monarchy for personal profit.

     

    Parina's steps to take legal action under Section 112, also known as the lese-majeste law, has gained public attention. This law is recognized as one of the world's strictest. It protects the Thai monarchy from any form of criticism or scrutiny, often sparking tension between advocates for freedom of speech and monarchy protection.

     

    Violating this law can result in severe punishment, including long-term imprisonment. KhaoSod reported this law is a topic of disagreement among Thai citizens and international spectators.

     

    The former MP's choice to take legal steps to protect the monarchy aligns with the beliefs of many Thai citizens who see the monarchy as an essential part of their identity. Parina's call for public punishment reveals a desire to uphold social order — a concept deeply rooted in Thai culture. This adds yet another twist to the evolving legal scene.

  6. I used to go to the one under Royal Garden during its brief lifespan. The food and service were good, as was the price.

    Almost all foreign pedos caught here hiding out or peddling kiddie porn are white males.
    Run a search on Google using keyword "pedophile", "Thailand" and add "British", 
    "American" etc interchangeably.
    Whenever i happen across a gammon bitching about grooming gangs, I produce a results page and they miraculously shut up.

     

    Ok strawman. 

     

    Who is the guy in my avatar and where was he caught?

    They are SCAMMERS roaming Second Rd. in Pattaya.

    Mostly 2 man.
    They try to engage in a friendly conversation and one of them will point at your stomach/belly.
    Next, they will say that they know an Indian herb which helps you to get rid of your belly in a short time.
    And they know an Indian shop who sells this herb, not far away.
    If you fall for that SCAM, they will bring you to the bazar in Second Rd. where they will sell you the herb for $$$$$$.
     

     

    Thanks.

     

    I had a guy start this line when I was wandering around drunk with my shorts around my ankles on 2nd Road one night. He did the first part of the scam, then backed off when I pulled the money from my sweat soaked loins and asked him if it was enough.
