Racist bigot's come in all shapes and sizes. Nasy!

Obviously you have no idea about real life in Thailand out side your bubble. What happens in villages very rarely reaches the news especially Thai visa. The village I have a home in and wife's family are from is typical of Thailand if you have the ability to look. The only murder that reached thaivisa news was the school girl rapped and murdered (next village). You Obviously have no idea. 3 x drive by shootings several years ago in Trang (never got to the news). Reason jealous belief they were taking their business. Bar 2 drive by shootings last one two people hit and lived second was a new noodle shop.

Scratch the surface and you will see Thailand is anything but safe. Small village I lived in there was a murder nearly every year and I can't remember anyone going to prison (death money paid to relatives and police). It was always over trivial things like a felt insulting tip at a karaoke party (stabbed to death) advice to a friend when his wife left him (stabbed to death) young boy dealing drugs (shot) and the saddest a boy of 15 shot over a girl.

This could be correct as the media fail to report any crimes thwarted including attempted mass shooting by legal carry in America. Far more prevented by right to carry. Criminals should not be the only one's carrying firearms.

They are the currupt of the currupt. Most do not come from rich families "middle class at best". I was married to a woman from the dirt poor side of one of the generals who was not rich family. I think two sides were into printing "his side prospered quite a bit from his service". There is also a myth that they marry money this also on a whole is untrue. If you can remember some scandles like the misunderstanding of the general who put the whole budget into his personal account, the currupt Park that that when some very brave students went by train to protest "train stopped and they were arrested". The list is endless but while the generals stole the country at the end of a gun reporting stopped. Last point remember the little strip of land purchase before the tanks rolled that no one was allowed to talk about... watches. All should be audited but who can do as last external auditors called into thailand was murdered.

Pity they hadn't been putting rice in storage for bad/hard times. Oh I forgot!!!!! What ever happened to the money when the generals sold it all off?

Sorry but you know nothing. You must have been fed lots of anti democracy and green Mafia spin. You really need some education because your so far off the mark. I hated Thaksin but by god he was the best thing for Thailand and the Thai people voted for him and would do again. Ask yourself one question "Why is Thailand not as prosperous as Japan or South Korea? And then research the global richest and ask yourself how poorly paid Thai generals are all $ millionaires or even billionaires?

Really! Obviously you were never here when he was in charge (gdp 12~14%) life for expats was 10 times better infact things regressed massively. From someone who was in Thailand living the life and saw the changes almost instantly.

It's all about control!!! Start of a big backlash in the uk now, more people using cash plus debunking agenda is now in the public and governments cross hairs.

Dribble!

As do the military general's: rotten to the core....

Try reading more. NATO pushed Russia into a corner. This all could have been stopped by a treaty and was about to be until the war junkies sent in their flunkie BoJo to scupper it. Read, then read more. Look at all sides then conclude.

If it wasn't for "C" china's economy would already have crashed spectacularly. China thought it could bring the world crashing so lessening it's noticible crash. Big money is moving out of China as are foreign firms. The crash has already started but the big danger is what will the ccp do in their death throws?

Will he be the next senior policeman to be forced to claim asylum in Oz? Rotten to the core are all uniformed Mafia in Thailand.

A lot of rubbish! Really GB 46th? I think not!!!

I did not like Thaksin when he was PM but he was elected by the people and he did a very good job. Just look at the countries accomplishments: GDP, foreign investment, English level and education.....

Such hatred for expats. Why oh why? Do you realise if all expats left tomorrow emptying their accounts the results for Thailand would be very serious and quite possible cause a run on thai banks.

The more desperate Thai's become the more dangerous Thailand becomes. One of the reasons we left was the known 400,000 ~ 800,000 baht target on my back. Whole families in Thailand have been tortured then murdered for less.

Why? The people who should be in prison are those generals who stole the country at the end of a gun from the elected PM's and their government. Especially the one who ordered the shooting of unarmed civilians at the temple then took over the elected government just as he was about to go on trial and hounded the very brave nurse who witnessed all as she gave aid... They are the true criminals.

Why do people still spout this? The colonial powers saw Thailand as a useful buffer border and that's why Britain never colonised Thailand. Thailand only lasted minutes against Japan who colonised Thailand and then joined Japan fighting against the allies and also should have paid war retribution's but usa wanted a foot hold in Asia. The "lost on the post excuse" makes one laugh.

Þhe thought of buying a wife repulsive for civilised people. My wife is very beautiful, well educated and a virgin (when we married) and I did not have to buy her. The other point is according to Thai tradition one a virgin = dowry. Don't pay.

Some years ago thai vegetables and herbs were tested and all found to be poisonous and some being deadly: parsley was the worst I think.

What crazy advice! Maybe he should be telling the criminal generals who amass fortunes in quite a low paying rolls not to take over the country at the end of a gun.

Look at how well the country did under his leadership and that's why. GDP 12 to 14% or more I think.

Dribble or you don't know many intelligent people. Being intelligent is not the same as being clever and some of the really intelligent people I have known are quite stupid away from their chosen field. Reasons people buy electric cars to start off was financial (government incentives even free electric chargers etc which now have all stopped) look at me now it's a tick box exercise. Any one with half a brain that looks into the production of the rare metals and still buys a ev is quite a damaged individual. Then to have a time bomb in your home is a risk I would never take infact I would not now allow my children to ride in a ev. Note UK: People so easily forget a few years ago it was diesel engines good so people purchased them then the switch and road tax went through the roof for them as diesel now bad.
