So that's why 'Thai morons' 'numb nut Thais with zero understanding' and 'moronic Thai males'.
Please.
Translation please? My apologies if you are not a native English speaker but your sentence doesnt make any sense.

They also live in the belief that they are the only once that are allowed to train military forces and delvelop their defense strategies.
I guess it´s time that the world stand up and ban this silly country from continuing the comedy show they are running episode after episode at the moment.But the US is "saving the world" isnt it. And of course in the name of God apparently. Ive heard them say it millions of times, on the news, in all their movies and TV series etc etc. I'm just not sure from whom because they seem to be the biggest threat to world peace. Fortunately we have the Chinese, Iran, and Russia to create some balance and keep them in check.

Sorry, I really don't get that.
Because its true. A retired friend bought a Ford Ranger for his wife a few months ago. He has had cars all his life. He first said he just wanted to buy a second hand Toyota pick-up because he found them very reliable. Unfortunately he is one of these poor guys who wont argue with his wife and just says "up to you" and hands over the money. Next thing they show up in a horrible bright red coloured Ranger. When we asked why the Ford he shrugged his shoulders and answered that his wife liked them because she thought they looked bigger than any other pick-up in the village and she loved the red colour because you cant miss it??
I must say he has had a lot of use out of it running back and forward to the Ford dealer for repairs!!

Mini vans should be banned from providing this service.
They should be banned from providing any service at all in this country because they have proved themselves dangerous or incompetent in whatever they are involved in (Oh God, I must have lived here too long, I'm blaming the van??!!)
Rip little one.

It's a disgusting situation. Sometimes it almost feels like the powers that be of all parties are trying to make living abroad too difficult for it to ever be popular. Probably not exactly that more likely complete ambivalence to the negative side effects of anti money laundering regulations on everyone dealing with international finances. There is a lobbying group working on these issues but I haven't been impressed with their results. The NRA they're not! American Citizens Abroad. Freedom should include the freedom to live abroad without onerous discrimination. I find this especially concerning as a baby boomer. The majority of boomers are woefully underfunded for retirement. Living abroad can be the solution for that. Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
Yeah I feel you. I am not from the US but suffering the same discrimination. I worked hard for my country all my working life, paid my taxes etc. Never trusted insurance or superannuation so put my money into real estate. Suffered a back injury some years ago but it was due to an accumulation of years of hard work plus genetics.....not something that could be pinpointed to make any claim. My back problems meant I couldnt get any work but I didnt want to live on disability, especially they way the govt pries into your every private life, especially when you have assets. I had an opportunity to come here as a teacher...the country always appealed to me, its cheaper to live, and I thought the hot weather better for my back.
Now I have retired my wonderful govt refuses to give me my due pension unless I come back and live there for 2 years before making a claim. Then they would penalise me because I have worked hard and acquired assets over my life. Having a Thai wife going home for 2 years is completely out of the question because I just couldnt afford it....I would have to sell one of my properties to get by....and why should I? I can live here comfortably on the rent I recieve from my properties plus my life savings. The govt of course taxes me very highly because I dont reside there and I understand it to a point. These new tax/pension laws were brought in with new immigrants and overseas property owners in mind but the money grubbing politicians have taken advantage of it and applied the laws to all, including Australians living abroard.
I realise now I may have made a big mistake in my life. I would have been better off being a lazy bastard sitting on my bum all my life, or smoking dope, at the governments expense. Maybe when I did work hard I should have pissed it all up against the wall every week instead of putting away for my future. When I hurt my back I should have taken govt welfare and not tried to be so independent. If I had been a lazy bastard, a dopehead, piss tank, or an invalid, I would have got my full pension! But I wouldnt want to live like that and feel it wouldnt have done my country much good either. But it seems that is what the govt is trying to encourage!
I am bitterly disappointed with the country I love so much and helped to build.

If I remember correctly "many people thought the problem was solved" because the govt made announcements saying it was all under control!! What happened??
Sounds like the usual announcements such as "No prostitution detected in Pattaya"!!
For a country so concerned about losing face this govt seems to accomplish it every time it opens its mouth.

So the governor is admitting incompetence by admitting he has no idea what goes on in the areas under his control??

That Prasan guy seems pretty smart and cool-headed, don't you think.
"Prasan or "Mote" was soon in custody. He was arrested at a resort hotel in Nong Khai. "
Was his mother there too by any chance??

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story! Adding the word "farang" in the headlines increases attention even if a farang had nothing to do with the story. People nowdays have got so used to the headlines having little to do with the content that they just accept it.

Banned? But who will enforce?? Sounds like business as usual.

I'm surprised they were raided?? Up my way funerals are the only times that gambling is allowed...well to be more precise its the only time the cops dont come around for their "fee". And yes they always have a "gambling forbidden" sign outside, just as they do at the cockfighting and boxing telecasts....but I think that must apply only to the footpath under the sign, because there is always lots going on inside. Maybe they didnt pay the "fee" ??

Yes I thoroughly enjoyed that series. However my neck was stiff for a week due to my head shaking over the gross incompetence of the two agencies.
If you liked that series you may enjoy the movie "Shock and Awe" (2018)
From Metacritic:
"Shock and Awe is based on the true events of Knight Ridder journalists who were the only ones who “got it right” in the lead-up to the 2003 Iraq War when they questioned the true nature of the Bush White House’s justification for the conflict."

Great cast too!
