He didn't cause the last crisis, infact he didn't even cause a crisis when he was still here. On the contrary. Why do you think he will be the cause of another one?

..........or not paid as the case might be.

Has a familiar ring to it............a certain Army general said the same thing 10 years ago.

Not sure which list you're looking at but I just checked and Russia isn't listed in the Visa Exempt category? It is listed in the VOA category though.

Thailand is also one of the few countries that issues VOA to Russians. Once here the TV can be switched to something more permanent.

absolutely..........the day we stop learning is the day we start dying

Blocking Facebook, however tempting it might be, would be a huge own goal. YES - Facebook should do more than it does to combat fraud but it has hown little appetite to do anything about it. The solution is a) to hit Facebook with huge fines & b) actually pursue the fraudsters and charge them in accordance with the Law. They know nobody is coming after them and so there is literally no deterrent..... why would they stop? If they get rumled and "outed" they just create another account. Track them and throw the book at them.

Whether anything is done aboutt hings like this depends on WHO is complaining. With someone of sufficient weight and influence behind the complaint what tends to happen is the authorities allow the project to be completed and become established first. Then they have a better chance of extracting higher sums of money from the owner. Non-compliant owners are served with orders to make the reparations so the building is legal or risk a demolition order. A case in question was the very well extablished condo & hotel pairing in soi Ruamrudee which was taller and wider than the plans that were submitted and also closer to the road than is permitted. Money does tend to be the winner though and the law comes secondary.

The Privvy Council make these decisions and The King historically has followed their advice.

you made your point which conveniently ignored the reason WHY they may not have been interested. Keep digging though by all means.

still on your high horse but conveniently moved the goalposts I see. YOU said it was done to cater for paedophiles - it wasn't. A paedo might well be aroused by it but so too are completely normal heteresexual red-blooded males. Take ur head out of your a s s and stop whining like one of your students. Oh, and stop lecturing adults on what they can and cannot enjoy - or expect to get pulled up about it. I have been much more polite than you deserve.

a month after the tsunami and you're whinging about customer service? Is that a joke? Do you have any idea how much destruction it caused and how many lives it took?

so the increase in prices of almost everything post-covid (world wide) is ok but you expect Thais to just be grateful?

why would you hope for that?

Hats off to the airline for dealing with these clowns properly. Was it really necessary though to promote some nobody Thai Influencer as the reason the story is being reported? Couldn't some journalist have actually done some research i.e done their job and not given this influencer the airtime.........? Most of the people I know are sick to the back teeth of these so-called Influencers as it is. Best not to encourage them.

you can't make someone think that a girl in a Scouts uniform is sexual any more than you can make someone think that the world is flat. Or that God created the earth in 6 days. You either believe it or you don't. To even suggest it is done to sate paedophiles says a great deal about you. A Paedo might be aroused by it but that doesn't make it wrong.......the reaction from the paedo is wrong not the act itself. Paedos are aroused by all manner of oddities.......do we reorganise everything so that they dont become aroused? Get real. Why do you feel the urge to judge people and berate them anyway? Who are you?

what a childish & feeble attempt to bring pitbulls into the conversation.

well at least it makes a refreshing change from Thai women scamming western men out of money.........the forums are full of these guys and they get little sympathy (or help from the law). Now Thais are being scammed its not ok though lol. There back-story to this article is just how many sad, lonely and gullable Thai guys there are. With all the beautiful women in Thailand what on earth is wrong with them?

Dear me, some people have nothing to do except whinge and try to ruin someones day by being offended.

That headline is comical and contradictory. The PM that "Thailand" chose is not the new PM so "Thailand" hasn't chosen a new PM at all..........."lawmakers" have chosen the new PM. He's the unlucky one who has agreed to do their bidding.

I thought Scousers were supposed to have a sense of humour?

who mentioned conspiracy? But now you mention it...............

the definition of caretaker seems to have changed since I was last on Earth........a sweeping and controversial move like this wouldn't come under a caretakers remit would it? But hey.....TIT. Its actually already banned in China because the authorities wanted control so that they could censor what was published and who should BE punished. FB said you're not having it and now its unavailable there. I actually think FB should do a whole lot more than it does to keep its members safe though from scammers and BS and virus-infected adverts. . Maybe Mr Musk will seize on this opportunity and kick Zuckerberg where it hurts most.

Are you saying that Thailand has a different definition of Trial In Absentia ?

not difficult to fathom out why when Influenza cases mysteriously disappeared almost completely during Covid. Now Covid is no longer newsworthy Flu has miraculously returned with a vengeance? Or..............?
