Sheer Institutionalized Lunacy. The world's oldest democracy, now renouncing the foundation of democratic principal; equality under the law. Sounds pretty much like "Crime Promotion/Encouragement Act".

Hi, thank you for sharing your story here. In my case, it started in 1998, from my 19 days trip to Thailand(first time to this place). Charmed by the taste of Thai food, calm gentle friendly people, as well as the lower cost of living(back then, 5kg of the least expensive rice was 50B). And since that travel, I started to feel this is my future destination(place of my future retirement). And toward the end of 2005, I came back here as the early retiree, after years of financial preparation. I flew in BKK, and travelled to Chiang Mai by the Night Bus from Khao San Rd. After my arrival, I first stayed at the place named Supreme House(no longer exists) for a week or so. Then, started looking for the apartment. After checking out around 30-40 different places, I found the place where I have been living for the past 2 decades by now. I have been just like part of their pseudo family while I have been single. One great thing about this place, family run. Whoever operates, still belongs to the one same family; will never be sold away to the stranger. Before my arrival, carefully planned. But after once here, things just turned out to be. I now recall my fate guided by some unknown force, ever since I started to plan my first visit to this kingdom...

Some impacts I could make in the past. About 17-18 years ago, a few migrant workers used to work as live-in janitors, for my landlord's family. They did daily cleaning and laundering. As well as various chores from time to time. And some of them fell ill while working here. One got the measles (judging from his conditions; cold-like symptoms, and skin rash). I am not a doctor or nurse, but happened to know about it. And I gave him Tiffy and Antihistamine tablets. And advised him to take them after meal. The next morning, he was quite well(his sickness gone overnight). In another case(a different worker), Malaria. Feverish and coldness one after another, heavy fatigue, muscular pain, loss of appetite, and nausea. The patient went to hospital, but their prescription didn′t work on him. I gave him some Vitamin C tables. And it dramatically worked. He was perfectly well the next day. Vitamin C has an effect to strengthen human immunity (that was something I heard from my father when I was younger). I was truly glad: Some cheap over-the-counter dose and my little knowledge, could save a few people from their suffering. I even felt, 'was that the purpose for which I was destinated to settle here?'

Hi, looks like no complete cure. What the doctors can do, mostly prevention of its spread. As well as stopping its progress. elephantiasis can be cured? - Google Search

Did he look like the photos below? If so, he could might be Elephantiasis... 87 Elephantiasis Stock Photos, High-Res Pictures, and Images - Getty Images | Malaria, Lymphatic filariasis, Elephant asia

In terms of politics and law enforcement, mostly due to the lack of transparency. In terms of their industries, lacking the ability of "value adding". Thailand is known to be caught up in the state of "middle income trap". Showed some remarkable "development" since 1990s. However, it was mostly done by the external inputs alone; by technology transfer(foreign manufacturers built factories here. and built up of infrastructures by foreign firms). Almost none attained by themselves. On the other hand, remaining in the status of the 3rd World won't really be that bad. Because of that, Thailand only has to pay a lot lower license fee for the local production of the generic medicines. That is why over the counter doses are often quite inexpensive here. And that way, expats like us are also its beneficiaries. So better not to complain, be thankful instead.

Trump, could well be another dementia sufferer. Until yesterday, outstandingly Pro Poo-tin. Today, started to condemn the master he serves. And suggesting "tough" sanction. While it has been already in place since 2022. And it effectively crippled Russian military production; their access to essential free-world made electronics blocked. So they cannot build any new fighter planes, tanks, APCs, and naval ships. They also suffer dire shortage of funds needed for them. Then, they had to "import" munitions from Iran and N/Korea.

Trump, the first ever President of the Unites States, openly serving Rus interests. The most prominent Foreign Agent Ever Known, in US history while posing a Nationalist. Enemy Within, sent to the Highest Office of America. Now being the 2nd in command, of the 21st Century Hitler without moustache.

I bet, that's the very answer Why some people traffic drugs, risking own future freedom. Just like the cases of any other crimes...

Hello, did you film this footage yourself? Did you post anywhere else? Just a curiosity.

If that Thai congressman really believes he is progressive and humane, better organize something else with which Poor Women don't have to resort to prostitution, in the first place. Sizable population of prostitutes here, simply the reflection of unsolved poverty issue in this kingdom.

If so, just a matter of Demand & Supply. And someone else is "Filling in" the gap.

MP Phanthira Nwamjerm from the People's Party has exposed a troubling situation unfolding in a condominium in Bangkok's Nana area, which is reportedly being rented out for prostitution on a daily basis. So what? This world is simply running on the basis of Demand & Supply. Nothing More, Nothing Less. Hardly looks like a real problem unless it is housing scammers, drug traffickers, or terrorists, and any other outlaws that victimize the innocent.

At this stage, AI is far from Clever Enough. Net banking site's Virtual Assistants(AI) , often cannot understand plain language properly. And they quite frequently request "Rephrase". Even though it might be eventually smarter. While waiting for them to grow Mature Enough, mankind can start to head for extinction. While the lower birth rate of the 3rd world countries will reduce impact on Earth...

Better be prosecuted with Deadly Force. The only positive contribution that thing can ever make: To perish. Dead Sarawut is the good Sarawut.

D.Trump, doing a remarkable job as the Rus agent. Creating ever growing cracks and tensions among US allies and US-Friendly nations.

Your joke reminded me someone else's quote(another bit more serious and emotional though). Why buy or breed while stray dogs die.

Only if It Pays LOL. Unmanned laundry for cost cutting.

I first wondered if he is another pervert stealing female underwear. But he turned out to be the "Straight Ordinary" thief after famous brand clothing...

Some news from this kingdom. Mother sells her underage daughter to clear her debts - Pattaya Mail And among very poor family in Thailand, it is not rare that their daughters work as prostitute in the place like Pattaya and other red light districts of various areas(incl. BKK), to send money to their parents back home. There are heaps of such people from northern and northeastern regions of this kingdom, as well from the background of urban poor. Haven't you heard anything like this by now, while you have been here for ages/ Pretending you are born yesterday?

I have heard something about it many years ago. That attitude is deeply imbedded with their culture; way of their thinking. They often believe that questioning "superior" people is Impolite/Rude. In this context, teachers are well above students, in Thai definition. Asking question felt like that person didn't give them sufficient information. In other words, they feel as shaming him/her for "inadequacy " in public(in front of dozens of boys/girls). Apart from this topic, humiliating(causing loss of face to others) an adult in front of others, is known strictly No-No, in this kingdom.

Hi, thank you for sharing your unique personal experience, with rather complex backgrounds. I am sorry to hear about what has been happening to you in the past few years. Have you thought about possible relocation to somewhere else in Thailand if the current location makes you feel uncomfortable for something you are not responsible for?

Hi, thank you for your insightful comment. Have a good day.
