With scammers operating on both sides Myanmar and Cambodia, where would they launder their profits ? Buy gold and sell it in Thailand for Baht. A high demand for THB, mainly caused by the laundry of scam operations is the elephant in the room.

Anybody understands what this journey encompasses ?

bravo ! Thanks for those initiatives, the roads of the Kingdom are now super safe .

Yet I find that most Central shopping malls across Thailand have eradicated the hand spray to go back to substantial amounts of toilet paper, thinking that copying western habits is a step forward.

How old is this kid ? punishment should be age-adjusted

I am curious as to what kind of compensation will the poor fellows receive. Full salary ? A little extra for their suffering ? Which entity would pay that ?

Coming from a man who speaks more or less 9 languages. It is also important considering that language skills are not distributed equally. Some people have a talent for languages, some don't. It may be a question of paying attention, duly listening and having a stronger sense of curiosity. Same goes for music and art in general. Some people are more inclined to financial matters, other prefer to create art, develop their bodies or pursue spiritual paths. They are not lesser of a human because they can't speak a second language proficiently in spite of living there for numerous years.

Thai authorities like to shoot themselves in the foot. The so-called soft power that Thailand is trying to emulate predominantly relies on generosity, good faith, an open and accepting mind. This kind of ridiculous witch hunts send the opposite message. Bad vibe...

Returning Burmese refugees into the hands of the barbaric state who will either kill them or use them as human shields on the battlefront. That's the extent of their understanding human rights. Where is the compassion prescribed by Buddhism ?

I really like the Vietnamese 3 in 1 better than Nescafe or others mentioned here.

AI is mostly a Search-Copy-Regurgitate IT tool. It does not create anything. As the primary goal of education is to teach how to think, the plagiarism done by AI is kind of going the opposite way, reheating old and sometimes false or exaggerated information.

Unfortunately Thailand is one of a few countries that have inherited Confucianism as major social accommodation. Since Confucius planned and created a very long and arduous path to getting a job as a Mandarin or civil servant of sorts, it's only rich families, merchants and such, that could support the years long studies that led to the imperial exams, often at the advanced age of 50+. Who fronted the money to support a lifelong of studies was expecting some kind of return on the investment. Normal. Hence began a centuries long regime of corruption, sanctioned by Confucian beliefs, that still pervades in Thailand and somehow prevents true economic development and runs contra to the tenets of democracy. Don't police officers buy their way into uniforms here ? Normal and accepted ?

I had to cancel a domestic flight which did not connect anymore with Thai Lion Air. Their staff at the airport had me fill a form for the refund but the lady advised me it could be a long process. I took 9 months before I saw the amount credited to my cc.

This campaign is just the kind of humanitarian aid approach that LOS has chosen as their way to help resolve the Myanmar crisis. Sending the poor buggers back to be conscripted and used a cannon fodder ? Great expression of Buddhist values of compassion.
