Tax the ex-pat pensioners.

They can't even get black-smoking pickups off the road.

Agree 100%. Going back nearly 20 years I remember a Thai politician urging Thai women to marry farangs. They rarely stoop to the violence dished out by Thai men; nor do they flee in the face of morning sickness. There are two more teaching graduates thanks to my intervention + every year at least 3 of my friends and family add to the tourist numbers. Malaysia seems to understand the value of ex-pats.

The economy is going down the drain and they are (perhaps) promising a frigate AND a sub! Neither are any good against unarmed students.

AKA Eliminating the Competition.

Another Thai who does not agree with the War on Air Pollution.

Meanwhile people are dying from carcinogenic air; dangerous roads. The Thai public have just seen a stolen election; the top two cops accused of corruption yet the populace is buzzing about mangos.

In private that figure would be far lower.

Can foreigners enter the monkhood to escape their debts?

Is that why so many Thais use the verges of roads?

I'd pay him 100 baht a week to de-gecko my house. Sick of the incontinent beggars crapping on every surface & scaring me by jumping out of cupboards and curtains. Any tips gratefully accepted.

Getting a job as a teacher in some schools is also dependent on tea-money; my step-daughter couldn't afford the 300,000 demanded by the unprincipled principal.

Agree totally. Some Thai foods should be classed as contraceptives; necessitating different beds or a cheap single room in a nearby hotel. Many a girl has gone without my company when I get a whiff of her two-day-old Somtam.

Ensuring non-carcinogenic air for all. Sois without disease spreading dogs. Honest cops and taximeters that work.

Did I say that?

If you sacked every Thai who came late for work, the whole country would grind to a halt. Thais are genetically lazy hence foreign workers are imported to fill jobs Thais won't do: ie those that require work.

I know young Thais look younger but the 2 who sped past me yesterday couldn't have been more than ten years old. This is testament to Thai parenting and lack of policing.

The 90 Day Reporting system failed then?

There's so many holes in your last post, I will have to yield. Never argue with the stupid, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with experience. I am 81 & won't volunteer to neuter dogs; it's a pointless exercise. I am entitled to express an opinion without being told to go back to my own country. I have met a number of honest cops in my time here - that number is 2. I live here because my son has a business in Bangkok & because it's sunny. I worry about everyone's safety on the roads not just my own so I can call out the lazy, ineffectual corrupt cops on behalf of all motorbike drivers from the relative safety of my car. I do believe in abortion, as it happens, though I don't know what that has to do with a discussion about free speech. Health & Safety issues should be part of any country's duty to protect its citizens; these are ignored as baht trumps life. 'complaining and complaining' if you say nowt, you are complicit with all the above points you quote above.

Sorry - you're correct. Wasn't there a Mr. T character in a long-running series?

'Mr T' series 3. Complete. 'Renegade Nell' as has been trumpeted above with inbuilt Wokeness. By Sally Wainwright of 'Happy Valley' fame.

Police are on the lookout for a man with a red nose and permanent cold.

What's this? - A Freudian slip?

Here here. And I've been here 20 years and seen no evidence of police 'work'. They've installed CCTV cameras all over but the police are too lazy to look at them unless the case hits Facebook.

It's a year on year thing. Check it out this time next year. The rich get richer at the expense of the poor.
