When you are totally immune from criticism because of defamation laws, it makes sense to do as little as possible. No repercussions and no accountability.

Ditto....but I predict the days of cannabis are numbered. Cambodia has a golden opportunity if Hun Manet can take advantage of it.

The RTP should be celebrating. They can once again fill up the jails with drug offenders. The possibilities for "brown envelopes" are limitless.

I've never found them friendly or happy unless you are paying them. The nicest people money can buy.

It's called being OUTVOTED. When the rest of the world rejects your stance on Lese Majeste, a government can be said to have taken "cultural sensitivity" a bit too far. The world does not need another North Koria or Saudi Arabia.

Translation: American farang gets tired of abuse from family and government sources and retaliates. Now he faces ten times the punishment he would receive in civilized countries and the family will get NOTHING after the police get through draining his bank account. Thai justice is done.

Until full clarification, I will do nothing. If forced to pay Thai taxes, I will move to Cambodia.

It will end when it becomes illegal. When the punishment is heavy enough to guarantee mercy, that is when you will get it.

Thailand has never paid any attention to Amnesty International of any other organization supporting "human rights'.

Normally, among the first things you learn here is that there is no freedom of speech and also that the truth is no defense in cases of "defamation".

It's not just you. Most expats feel this way whether they will admit it or not. No good deed goes unpunished if you are an expat.

I should add that I DO have an account at Bangkok Bank. That's the only reason I bothered to ask.

If I am using an American debit card at a Thai ATM, is there any way to use the cardless feature? I have had a big problem in the past with ATM machines grabbing my debit card. It takes at least a month to get a replacement from my credit union, so this causes an emergency situation.

Absolutely unacceptable. I am truly sorry for our fellow expats from the UK.

Since Pattaya seems to be inhabited by a huge contingent of retired Republicans and other so-called "Conservatives", I'm surprised that anyone would bat an eye. That said, Trump is a criminal and an imbecile. Lots of those in Pattaya, as well.

One MORE reason that I will never drive in Thailand. Public transport will have to do.

He does not seem to be in any position to demand ANYTHING!!!. Lock him up.

Either one is okay with me. This rich boy has caused the farang expat community more problems than any single Thai authority figure.

Looking forward to seeing this "farang-hater" ousted from power. We "aliens" have enough problems.

I pay my agent (who is also my landlady). 14 thousand baht a year to renew my extension of stay.

I have always thought of Australia as a very advanced country. This item about the banks is surprising.

Yes, the constant threat of invasion from Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam, requires a steady supply of teenage cannon fodder to keep the hostilities going.

What the HELL is "over-tourism"???? The mere concept is laughable. Money from tourism does not seem to bother any Thai merchant. We spend money, YOU reap the benefits.
