    These are the ones who do not have magical protection amulets

    Maybe the locals should have applied to all buy the pub, then actually gone to drink in it.

    So many probems could be solved by getting the police to do police things without favour. Then Thailand would be safer & welcoming to tourists.

    Maybe if they tackled the vast amount of tax evasion, and tax avoidance by the superrich, there would be plenty of money for everyone. But the HMRC was cut in terms of staff & finding over the years to facilitate the inability to tackle tax evasion & tax avoidance over the last decade.

    Unfortunately, they will do everything to stop a good intelligent politician running Thailand, who has the potential to actually achieve something for the majority of people in Thailand

    To win WWII against Hitler then to elect Farage. Labour must deliver for the people not just for the money-grabbing establishment, if it is to beat them - aka Reform - Tories are dead meat. My mother was one of the Hang'em, Flog'em brigade for 50 years, I know what they represent - it is not nice. Britain is dead if they elect Farage

    Get rid of visas, only use TDAC, register & track people coming in using the TM30 , 2000 bht renewal each month. Any crime committed ban them from Thailand for life

    Corruption is Thailand's biggest problem along with the education system. If they solved both of these, there would be plenty of money for everyone. And Thailand's economy would be one of the best in Asia

    I tried online system, did not work then gave up & went the Chaeng Wattana to sort out

    WeirdExplorer is brilliant

    OTR Food & History is wonderful. Interesting & well-researched.

    So many snowflakes. It's their country they can implement whatever pricing system they wish. We are foreigners, we in most cases earn or have access to a lot more money than most Thais.

    Anti-woke are Trump's blackshirts

    Just get rid of visas, and anyone staying pays a fee to stay another. Could raise loads of money. Everyone much have proof of paying fee/monthly tax

    Drink good tea

    Anyone surprised?

    Parents might reassess whether their children should go to a school where the owner drags their feet in getting it safety inspected. No sane parents want to risk their children.

    They only understand if it is in a cultural context they understand, so Buddha means a lot to them, Hitler means nothing, Putin nothing to most Thais.

    No fail policy is a BIG problem

    You are imagining paradise, it will never happen. Those who sell bad beer have too much influence.

    That soon?

    This has potential to savage the large brewers if someone produces some aroi craft beer

    Strange, where my house (the other halfs) is surrounded by paddy fields, and they all do 3 crops a year (rice, soybeans, maize) . This is south of Chiang Mai.

    Growing bananas right now is silly until they solve the Sigatoga disease problem. Many other potential crops could be grown. E.g. Kakadu plum, Davidson's plum, Pataua palm, etc. Just need to check on soil types, rainfall/drought tolerance and current values on world market. Suggesting bananas is just bananas without careful evidence to back it up.
