Patong punch-up: Foreign man swings at loud restaurant worker
ModdaPunk replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
It's even worse now. -
BS. Zelensky's name was in the Panama papers. He was involved in a sheme to buy real estate in Londongrad via a shell company. Very russian behaviour for a ukrainian... Being a sneaky bitchboy seems to be a slavic thing :)) Putin being an a$$hole doesn't mean that Zelensky is a saint. They are both dodgy arrogant liars imo.

At this point, nothing. Just have fun with the current situation. It's a circus that you can't really control so have fun with it. Individuals are dumb, crowds are even dumber. This is just part of our reality as a species. So trigger the left, trigger the right, let people get hysterical and enjoy the mayhem :) And if you want to take a breather and reset, watch a George Carlin show on Youtube. That guy knew...

Surprise Surge: Thai Economy Outperforms Expectations with 3% Growth
ModdaPunk replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You can't compare an emerging economy with advanced economies. It's much easier for advanced countries to finance themselves. Thailand doesn't have that luxury. So no, Thailand ain't doing fine at all imo. That why this article pisses me off. It's giving people a distorded view of reality. Thailand doing better than expected is great news but if that info ain't contextualize, it becomes deceptive. -
Thailand’s debt drive: Putting the brakes on cars and homes

How are they planning to finance this ? Printing money out of thin air ? -
Surprise Surge: Thai Economy Outperforms Expectations with 3% Growth
ModdaPunk replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Because the entire article is total biased crap. Thailand's growth rate was 3-4% for 2023. Vietnam 6-7%. Philippines 6-7%. Indonesia 5-6%. Thailand's economy ain't performing well. Certainly not well enough to offset the impact of its rapidly ageing population. -
Surprise Surge: Thai Economy Outperforms Expectations with 3% Growth
ModdaPunk replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Pre-pandemic Thailand's GDP was 16 trillion baht. In 2021, it was 15 trillion baht. In 2022, it was around 17 trillion baht. Now if you adjust for inflation, it's probably closer to 16 trillion baht in 2022. Which mean full recovery relative to the pre-pandemic situation. So "impressive" is relative. GDP estimates for 2023 is 17.5 trillion baht. That's roughly 2.5% growth. The behemoth of SE Asia... Yeah, right. -

God almighty, these people are such a bunch of cowards lol Unless none of them could swim (it's Thailand after all), this could be failure to assist a person in danger. Jail them netizens !!! -
Patong punch-up: Foreign man swings at loud restaurant worker
ModdaPunk replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I was in Patong not too long ago. Agressivity is palpable everywhere. Thais really are stressed out af there. The town has a terrible vib to it these days. Bangla road sucks @ss now btw. It's not even a proper redlight district anymore. More like a sh/tty tourist trap. Hopefully things will get back to normal at some point. Otherwise I don't think the island as a bright future ahead.... -

Good initiative. Hopefully those seats ain't gonna be added along the highway. -
Facebook Scams Cost Thailand Over 718 Million Baht Last Year
ModdaPunk replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
How much is that ? 20 millions euros, roughly ? It's not the end of the world frankly. Actually it's pretty amazing for Thailand to score so low -
Thailand set to ‘stir up’ the economy with juicy stimulus carrot
ModdaPunk replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Same strategy in China and probably everywhere else in Asia. And then the West will do the same again. A bit like a tennis match. East - West - East - West The helicopter money era :D -
Intentional homicide rates - ASEAN vs G7
ModdaPunk replied to ModdaPunk's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Unfortunately I don't think guns are the problem. The US has a cultural problem when it comes to violence. Take the guns away and people will axe each other...
