British Pensioner Struggles with Frozen Pension in Thailand
Maybe America should be sending foreign aid money to the UK. I would feel much better about it than sending cash to Islamic backwaters and other tenuous allies.

British Pensioner Struggles with Frozen Pension in Thailand
This is surprising to me. I always thought the UK had a functioning welfare state. This is the kind of thing I associate with my home country, America. Very sad to see this woman in this kind of distress.

British Expat Arrested For Punching and Killing Russian Man
Russians can be difficult but there are others who are very civil. I remember walking down the sidewalk here in Pattaya and a HUGE Russian got in front of me and knocked me to one side. He turned around and immediately apologized. He was just too big for the sidewalk. 🙂

In ANY kind of altercation in Thailand, the loser is ALWAYS the farang. Walk away.

Nothing worse than defending yourself.

Just below the Soi dog.

Which "conspiracy theories" do you believe are true (or have some basis in truth)?
Most conspiracy theories are highly suspect. I try to avoid people who see the world in terms of "them against us".

Cannabis Shops to Close by April 1, 2025: Thai PM Orders Drug Rescheduling
Can't leave well enough alone. Gotta screw up what they've already approved. Got it right the first time, now it's time to pull the classic Thai ploy of destroying progress. It's been the Thai way down through history "ready, fire, aim".

Why is Thai service so abysmal
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.

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

Have people in Thailand gotten less friendly/happy overall, or is it me?
I've never found them friendly or happy unless you are paying them. The nicest people money can buy.

Amnesty International Condemns Thailand's Human Rights Violations
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.
