  1. This huge quantity of Category 1 narcotics proves how serious the problem is! It is scary! How many people are addicted to these substances in Thailand?! It is scary!! Compliments to the Police, Narcotics Suppression Unit and Military Intelligence for this catch! 🏆
  2. "The event has prompted discussions about the responsibilities of adults in protecting minors and ensuring their wellbeing in public spaces. Authorities may consider monitoring similar situations more closely to prevent future incidents" What in the world are minors doing out at 01:00 in the night?! The responsibles here are the parents!! NOT the Authorities to "consider" monitoring to prevent such things! (Again patronizing and imposing more control, CCTV and the intrervention of police etc. etc. etc.) What is wrong with you people?
  3. Enough of this ...!! It is getting embarrassing!!!
  4. "Looking ahead, health authorities advise the public to remain proactive in receiving vaccinations,.." Here we go again with panic-news and, again, pushing vaccination!! Vaccination proven to do more harm than helping!!
  5. Yes, sorry! My mistake since I didn't finish my cup of coffee! Yinluk is his sister! 🤣 Well? Still Shinawatra Clan!!
  6. I find his attitude sooooOOOO too much 😖 I really do not understand how, after all what he has done - betrayed his people and country, pulling strings while in exile, pathetic and dramatic comeback, hospitalised to avoid jail and and and... And now, after less then a year, he is again behind the microphone with this megalomaniac, arrogant attitude! I thought that he was banned from political activities... But no! His second daughter is now leading the country while the other daughter intends to come back (just like him) from self-imposed exile!! What a farce! Thai politics is becoming a real comedy😂🤣 Thailand WAS the Nr. 1 Rice producer for decades. Thailand WAS the Nr. 1 rubber producer... Other countries took over with more competitive prices so Thailand lost the lead mostly because of the price. And now the smart Thaksin - who is now even adviser to Malaysian Prime Minister ALSO - wants to boost the price of rubber and break the rice market!! Being here since 35 years, I remember very well how the price of rubber dropped from over 150 Bt./Kg. to less than 45 Bt. because of the competition... And now, Mr. Iknowbetter still receives applause while talking about HIS DREAMS... His audience clearly doesn't know since they applaud to a vision WITHOUT asking HOW or IF these goals can be reached! To eliminate the national debt within 2 years with these strategies? Come on guys!! Stop listening to this megalomaniac impostor and ban him from politics!! After so many years I think that Thailand has the potential to have a leading position in the ASEAN... But surely NOT with these populist Old School strategies! Take him the microphone away! AND "Thaksin also touched on scams originating from call centres in Myanmar's Myawaddy township, near Thailand's Mae Sot border. He is in talks with Myanmar to address these scams, offering Thai assistance if needed." Offering Thai assistance if needed! Does he have this authority to "offer Thai assistance" without the knowledge of the Thai parliament ?! 😳
  7. Samuel L. Jackson would say: "That's a M....F.... clue, man!
  8. I am amazed by this outrageous repugnant arrogance of Israel.

  11. That's the way to lure the ignorant into the slavery of CBDC!!
  12. Again?! Who the heck wants Thaksin's opinion?! Stop reporting about this living example of political corruption! Just seeing his face makes me throw up my breakfast 🤮
  13. I am speechless to see how vehemently cannabis is being discussed! No one ever discussed about the Meth problems - ya-bah - which price dropped from 300 Bt. to 20 Bt.? Ya-bah destroys lives since over 30 years here in Thailand. Nobody speaks about the criminality, rapes and murders due to ya-bah addiction!!! Cannabis NEVER makes aggressive! On the contrary and the beneficial effects are so many... So, look at the facts! Not just listening or giving opinions! Again a genuine example of political incompetence...
  14. It is a genuine example of political incompetence, sadly, again... But, as we know it's TIT
  15. It is - again - in my humble opinion the proof of incompetence... Like: "Thailand’s efforts in marketing, luxury travel promotion, and expanding visa-free travel were lauded." It is a WRONG approach with the only purpose to make higher profits! "Thailand diversify its economy while maintaining tourism as a key sector." Tourism related Economy represents roughly 1/3 of Thailand's GDP (including all para-tourism like Real Estate, Entertainment Venues even more than 30%) While very lucrative, Tourism is becoming weaker while paradoxically increasing in quantity it is getting weaker since the major trend is "getting more for less". Today's average Tourist has a smaller budget to spend! - Don't you notice how many Tourists are eating and drinking in front of the 7/11, instead of enjoying the friendly service in a restaurant? - Don't you notice that (while skyrocketing) there is a real fight in Rental- or Booking-Prices, sometimes even Tours are offering dumping prices... - The strategy "to attract more quality-luxury Tourism" does not work since there is NO improvement in Service! NO ONE speaks proper English!! - The strategy to enlarge and offer outside the major destinations is wrong since it will increase unnecessary infrastructure and finally increase the offer while the demand will diminish... - The strategy with "Visa-Free Travel" is very short sighted! It will enhance short term, seasonal Tourism but WILL NOT improve "off-Season" Tourism! - Too many points to criticise and the most acute is the lack of competence - as I often mention. Thailand has fantastic potential! However, it is still thinking "the Thai way": How to increase profits with the less effort (even easier while imposing more taxes), instead of giving an effort to improve quality that will result into solid prosperity! While Cambodia makes a similar mistake with cheap regulations, it has become a Chinese Colony. But Vietnam, the Philippines and many more will soon take over the market with very little efforts (i.e. they all speak English!) while Thailand WILL lose more and more Tourists because of wrong management...
  16. Can you stop publishing about this person?! I've got a nausea just to see is face! 🤢🤮 Stop talking about him! Enough! 🤬
  17. A genuine example how opportunities make people greedy. Especially disturbing is the fact that this guy was head of the DSI - unbelievable!
  18. A poll survey of 1,310 individuals aged 15 and over from various backgrounds does not represent "the majority of Thais"! So much discussions about a recognised "recreational drug" - so little discussions about Ya Bah, Ice etc.
  19. You can't be serious! Really! This might work on a computer game like SimCity... By next year 1'200'000 flights means 2 take-off/landings per minute!
  20. This is so stupid it hurts! While it is proven that there is NO Climate crisis (!) they still continue with DISINFORMATION! - Who?! The UN of course! And who else?! The WMO of sourse! With what purpose? To CONTINUE TO SCARE THE POPULATION with wrong/false information and statements! What is the meaning, the purpose of this "Fake New"? "However, the WMO urges immediate action on reducing emissions and adapting to the climate changes." This is so stupid it hurst!
  21. High season, low season... Well of course! The TAT-strategy is so short sighted! "Visa promotions" "Visa free" etc. are just a short living marketing strategies, and tourists ARE tourist! They are coming during holiday periods. Than one complains - "Oh, over-tourism! Too many, too much!" So let's rely on the Chinese who don't bother and complain... "They will fill the gap"-thinking... There is a total lack of innovative future-oriented visionary thinking! The TAT is missing a very lucrative "Soft-Tourism" market! By Soft Tourism I talk: Long term, retirement Tourism! This is in my opinion THE market of the future: Retirement-Pensioner, Long Term Soft Tourism Reason number one: Most Western Countries have increasing pensioners - See https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/population-by-five-year-age-group + https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-worlds-population-2020-by-age/ The average pensioner struggles in his own Country! The pension is low and forces one to lower the lifestyle standard! The costs are too high! Reason number two: "Soft Tourism" since this market would be long term, it would continue during the Green/Low Season. This segment is "calm and nice" - They want peace and tranquillity - No party monsters, drunkards nor troublemakers. This would support the Tourism Industry, Retirement Resorts, Home Rental, Restaurants, Taxi, Tuk-Tuk, Local Market, and so on until the "Little Noodle Shop"... The potential is HUGE: Exponential growing demand! Even an average pension would allow a better standard of living. High demand for Health related services! - Thailand has High standards Hospitals! Excellent Services! Traditional Massage etc. High demand for "Care Staff" - Thailand IS one of the most Service-Oriented Population in the world! - From housemaid, to nurse until companion - you name it... High demand for Real Estate: Sales & Rentals This would sure give a long term support to the entire Tourism Industry of Thailand which represents nearly 1/3 of income! It would drastically improve the "after season void" and smooth the Low season May to October... This is my suggestion for the future of the Tourism Industry! So TAT should really make an effort to make this happen while being more inviting and simplifying Visa regulations and incentives toward this neglected potential Pensioner-Market! It is a win-win strategy.
  22. So, @tomazbodner you definitely are not aware that your graphics are based on wrong models buddy! See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3Tfxiuo-oM And this one in just 4 minutes: https://twitter.com/FatEmperor/status/1654244932763123712
  23. "coping with the growing challenges posed by climate change." THERE IS NO CLIMATE CHANGE! Stop it! We have El Niño and it is peak of the hot season. This is NOT the "climate change"!
