Hopeless fight against nature

Yes, a funnel into the silence. They first have to find all stakeholders with controversial material, documents and nformation. Then these stakeholders need to be approached, offering them loads of money and other benefits to keep their mouth shut or tell a different story. As soon as done, they follow the manuscript for public and anti-corruption committee communication, with the aim to prove that nothing was exceptional, it was just a low frequency earth quake wave, putting the structure in a natural swing mode, and since it was under construction, reinforcements were still missing, so the construction collapsed. Job done. Gone will be the stories of low steel quality, violation against safety guidelines, dubious Chinese subcontractors, etc. What almost surprises me most is the total lack of these discussions in Thai opinion, or even a revolt against politicians. It feels like Thai always believe these twisting stories of higher officials.

and less Chinese penetration in society and politics in those days as well.

Yes and the biggest crooked Thai official is in power now, so what can we expect ?

No it was a top - down brown envelope card game from ministry to builders, to turn a blind eye on safety standards, like it always the same in THL, if you give me this, you will get that, i will tell them this, but we all know the truth is that. The source is the top of the piramide, they benefit most, but are exposed least. Important technical structural reports have already 'vanished', unfindable.

Yes, but in the case everything goes wrong Trump already atranged his backup plan, he, his family and his 7 tech friends already pre-booked a ticket on one of the Space-X missions of his right-hand Musk, they will be heading to Mars.

Yes, you are absolutely right. And the wheels keep going because nobody is doing anything against it, the party who was closest was bypassed the last election, and all descendants of these elites can keep filling their pockets for years to come. There is only one way out: Power by the masses, but unfortunately that's not Thai culture, doing it the soft way may need decades to bring a change, if ever.

Yes, Mr C. is probably walking in every shop with a crying face, of how poor these people are to make a living, some of them are indeed, but some of them have no scrupules to sell anything, they are like criminals you read every day in the news

Well, I am sorry, but countries are obliged to enforce ICCPR (Article 20(2)) and CERD (Article 4), Thailand alsi signed that treaty. This does not (yet) apply to Putin by the way. In other words, the lady can be lucky she is still in a position to open her shop doors every morning. On the other hand, I am convinced the lady has zero education to know about all these things. Maybe Thai officials should teach her a lesson in history and ethical standards.

Finally a good measure by the government. Although they deny, it is of course linked to the fraudulent business initiatives from Chinese who enter the country without any touristic plans. Let first see how the sino-thai elite and governement will react to this plan, they will probably claim it is unfriendly will provoke China.

Yes, and even without these offers you can't decide to just send people back into hell. Did you know Mr TS that China is a bit different than UAE ?

I don't see a lot of benefit from this turning back the clock measure. Long free visa will indeed not helping to fight illegal work and businesses, but the problem is that the good ones have to suffer the new rules caused by the bad ones. I come here to stay in my house for 5 weeks, now i have to start that hussle with a visa application again. Why not looking at the root cause of trouble makers ? Which countries do they come from ? How did some manage to set up illegal businesses ? By whom the illegal workers got employed ? Deepdiving and solving these root causes is much more effective than punishing the entire travel population.

What is the "FRESH APPROACH" ? What is her approach and progress on the PM2.5 crises for instance ? And on the safety certificate system of busses (and their drivers) ? The fresh approach is maybe her performance like a well-trained and decent influencer, she does well as speaker at large crowds, she does well at pleasing Chinese officials, she does well at making promises. All the things Thai people are desperately waiting for.

Yes, segregated areas, fence around, gate keeper, and influencers - or "Digital Creators" 🤣 as they're called on FB are kindly requested to join, making the picture of a fake world complete.

Yes, but frankly, if you look back the video, she started the first physical 'contact' with her right arm and fist.

"Thailand playing China's puppet again." How can you expect differently ? They are Sino-Thai. It is always claimed they have become real Thai, but that's far from true. Their roots, ancestors are from China, they will always act and decide to China's wishes, standards and you see it everywhere in Thailand. She was even proud on her Chinese roots recently, made it public. Can you imagine what that means ?

"around £3,000 (approximately 127,500 THB) per day" £3,000 per day, for something like pneumonia or similar, in Thailand ! Can somebody explain me ? This sounds like a hospital for celebrities, world leaders. I knew that Bangrumrad in BKK s a famous international hospital with helicopter emergency services, maybe they come at these rates, but just an ordinary hospital in Hua-Hin ?

"europeans in majority support Trump" Where did you read this ? A few right wing extremists will do of course 🤣

Yes, and most striking, their last 10+ prime ministers, including the current one, are absolutely illiterate in English. I sometimes believe they prefer to study Chinese instead of English.

"necessitating permission from the homeowner to break the toilet for removal." Is this a typo ? I think they meant the snake was broken in two pieces. At least that would be my suggestion to the emergency responders.

"Open burning is discouraged" For reasons of understanding the seriousness, I like the word 'discouraged' instead of for instance 'prohibited' , or even better, 'Open burning could lead to 5 years in prison'. The word 'discouraged' says everything about the urgency and priority of the government to solve this issue.

Yes, and the other tech CEOs are not much different. Just look the fear in their eyes behind the smiles at the inauguration.

Yes, I also think it was him (on order from the big leader and his tech compagnons) :)

Zuckerberg recognized he was almost too late, leaving the treasure to Musk. They all don't want to miss the train of unlimited privileges, tax benefits, support in fighting privacy restriction rules and claims in other countries. The new leader will help them. There is also a downside, they all have the same fate. If the experiment goes wrong, it will hurt, all around the world disappointed, ex-Musk supporters sell their Teslas. The same could happen to FB users.

That latter will not happen for sure 🤣
