No great loss...fairly sure that the loss of Chinese tourists would be devastating for Thailand tourist industry. -

Nope she has a bulls eye on her back because she is unpopular, unwanted and stabbed MFP /PP in the back by withdrawing from the MoU after PT lost there crown as the most popular party in Thailand. -

Well it would be nice if she started working as PM then cause for the past 6 months daddy has clearly been making all decisions and setting the vision and direction of the government. -
Thai influencer dies after alcohol stunt for 30,000 baht
jonclark replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
A bit off topic but it's a pity they didn't pay him to see how many kilos of weed he could smoke in an hour. At worse he would have woken up from some vivid dreams with a craving for some chocolate chip cookies. Poor kid. Feel for his grandmother who has now lost her only family and carer. -
Ex-MP Claims Thaksin is the True Leader of the Government
jonclark replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Everyone knew this...but good to see people now calling this charade out publicly. Hopefully Pita can follow Taksins lead. As Pita is an immensely popular figure for Thai people. -

But does that make it right though? -
Minister Dismisses Claims of Detention Rule Favouring Yingluck
jonclark replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Detention outside of prison could be a humanitarian gesture for serving inmates, who are old or have terminal health conditions. It should not and never be an option for those that have fled the legal consequences of their actions by running abroad. -
Thailand aims to become education hub with global universities
jonclark replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Maybe. But I cannot see why a university (and the UK government to some extent) would offer a potentially cheaper alternative to a single person coming to the UK and contributing new income in the region of; 25k GBP course fees per year, NHS contributions, visa fees, flights and accomodation and living costs in the UK. By opening a campus here they are potentially reducing that flow of money into the UK and UK universities. Interesting if it did happen if then UK resident students could come to Thailand to study at local Thai costs at the UK unis Thai branch. A growing number of universities are businesses first and educational establishments second. -

jonclark replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Why would any UK uni want to open up a branch in an overseas country when overseas student fees when studying in the UK in a university there, are uncapped and double or triple domestic fees. Financial suicide for a large number of UK universities to do so. -
Israeli Attacked in Thailand by German Tourist, Report Says
jonclark replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So by your own definition, wouldn't that makes Israel's ongoing actions against Palestine an activity of terror? Or does that definition only work at Israel's discretion. 100% support the removal of Hamas but not when the human cost far exceeds the cost of the trigger. -
Consumer injured by glass in spaghetti at Thai pizza chain
jonclark replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
No one's questioning "their country their rules" just giving an opinion about the rules of their country which incidentally the rules of their country allow. No mistakes made...just truth. -

It's my business end of story...and if you don't like it....well tough. I don't have to justify or validate myself to the likes of you. -

The majority of Thai laws are outdated and not fit for purpose in the modern world. The laws serve to protect the interest of the few while neglecting the needs of the majority. Born from a pot of corruption and nepotism Thailand's laws need an urgent upgrade. But only a Non Thai person can sees the need to urgently change Thailand's law. Okay? -
"...Maintain racial integrity...." lol people in S E Asia are such a genetically diverse bunch of people that any suggestion of Thailand having some form of unique racial integrity is utter fantasy. Indian, Chinese, Malay, Khmer, European etc...the Thai gene pool has it all. In fact maybe it could even be a genetic hub in the future. In fact I bet old Somchai and Meechai holding their petitions are genetically impure by their own standards where they to ever undergo genetic testing. Knobheads the pair of em.

After the way he avoided jail i think calling him a man is a breach of the computer crimes act.
