Yeah, but question is why the Thai welcome them, and other countries do not. Or do only TAT and real estate developers welcome them, and don't care about the long-term effect on their country ?

Exactly, this is the truth. The ego of one person incl his elite clan is the single root cause of everything bad in the country

Too easy explanation. This time it's just a personal vendetta between the two leaders, and the people suffering. "You betrayed me and my daughter by revealing that secret conversation, now I am in troubling in my own country, I am going to teach you a lesson". That's the only and simply reason. Thai and Cambodian people paying the price of these ego leaders.

Look who's talking, our BMW adventure specialist. He was there, knows all details, and judged the situation from his driver seat. So, what is your track record ? What did you accomplish so far in life with respect to rescuing people ? And what do you know about emergency operations ?

Yeah, but still, 40 million Baht ? The house price increase, ok, but this must have been a castle then, and not only the real estate price increases, but also your food, medical care, everything for a living, personal care. How that adds up to 40M Baht left over on a policeman's career is still a mystery to me.

Yeah, but I think they should do it like with a rented car, you are even obliged to do it: walk around, look side, look under, look above, take pictures, and agree the rent is good to go or not, then finally sign.

Yes, in Thailand yes. It's even stronger, I feel ashamed when I coincidentally walk in their vicinity, as other people may think I belong to them.

I just don't get it. Why does someone risk 21 years in prison by opening a bar in the open air where everybody can see what he is doing ? His life without that bar should have been utterly terrible, or ?

"tricking 14 Australians into investing in fake bonds, costing victims an estimated 40 billion baht.". 14 people, 40 billion Baht ? Then we all should know these 14 Australians. Who are they ?

Mr Wu Feng Ma has 10 billion baht to spend, what do think how justice will follow it's course ? He is a very interesting source, a ticket to heaven, it doesn't matter what we read in the news the next few days.

I don't understand the picture underneath, there are only men, or did the TG need to take off their disguise ?

The explanation given by Sam Altman is striking even when the question was a bit in a suggestieve style, just look ... We asked : "How do you call a law which enables the leaders of a country to enable censorship in a way to suppress freedom of speech, but call it a defamation law ?" Reply: A law that enables censorship under the guise of protecting against defamation, but is actually used to suppress freedom of speech and dissent, is often referred to as a: "Repressive defamation law" or "abusive defamation law" In legal or political analysis, it may also be described with terms like: - "Defamation as a tool of repression" - "Weaponized defamation law" - "Politicized defamation law" - "Criminal defamation law (with authoritarian application)" Such laws are often criticized because they: - Blur the line between protecting reputation and silencing criticism. - Are vaguely worded, allowing broad interpretation. - May carry disproportionate penalties (e.g., imprisonment rather than fines). In democratic societies, defamation is usually a civil matter, but when it becomes criminalized or used by the state to shield itself from scrutiny, it is widely considered a threat to freedom of expression.

Not only in Pattaya, just open FB and watch slum-like scenes where girls call themselves 'digital creators' and, without scruples, stir up these kinds of situations, putting them live in 'reels'.

Doesn't matter how well things are going at the moment, you should think back in time, how she worked out this great plan from the beginning. Initially slow because she needed time to find out how financially stable you are and where are your weak points. On the other hand there are thousands of couples in Thailand who successfully live and stay together that way, kind of a deal, giving and taking.

I am surprised the bathroom looks pretty neat, clean and modern, I mean I was always thinking these types of creatures would flourish in smelly slums, with lots of rubbish, food scraps, sewers without any barriers, the same neighbourhoods where one would encounter rats for example. This could still be the case outside this bathroom of course, but normally people who have such a bathroom are neat and clean everywhere.
