No, it says more about you. All guests in LOS, if doing dodgy stuff, should be sent packing. It is not their country to do dodgy stuff, their own risk.

 

Be great if our home countries did the same, instead of paying for their upkeep.....😁

Fine you believe in discrimination  based on nationality and ethnicity. Do not be surprised (in fact embrace it) if it happens to you. I believe all people should be and are equal under the law and the law must be applied equally to all in all cases.

Not unequally with minorities which we are, being unfairly treated by a disproportionate application of the law.

30 days in jail for kicking a pregnant woman, then deportation and blacklisted.

Sorry but you would never find such an extreme punishment if it were Thai on Thai. All punishments should be equal for all people, irrespective of nationality or ethnicity, otherwise your are condoning discrimination and racism. 

You may disagree with that but that says more about you than I.

 Need to have exactly the same treatment for her as for the Swiss doctor kicker, who got what he deserved.

That is a matter of opinion ...not fact. I do not think that a bit of swearing and a kick should result in a person's life being torn apart. I feel the punishment should fit the crime. 

I don't wish to sound naive here but which of the recent 'crimes' committed by foreigners that have been in the news over the last couple of weeks targetted tourists? I thought the feigned indignation and outrage in the media was because the foreigners had 'targetted' Thais. 

"Burgeoning Thailand" eh.... I thought Thailand was in an economic crisis, isn't that the reasoning behind the digital wallet and the PMs frequent request to the BoT to reduce interest rates.  Or is the Thaiger once guilty of over stating the facts??

Most people prefer Trump

Kinda like saying I prefer dog sh*t over cat sh*t if we are honest.  Trump is a lunatic bent on revenge and Biden can't remember what he had to eat for breakfast this morning. And these are the best the USA has to offer as leaders!! MAGA my arse.  All Americans deserve a better set of choices than either Trump or Biden. I'd rather have Hussain or Gadaffi than either of these two tbh. At least they had character. 

The PM of Thailand is wining and dining with a criminal. What a wonderful example he sets for the rest of the population. 

One would think questioning the governments handling of this case is perfectly acceptable given that the government overseas the department of corrections and after 120 days of hospital treatment  the director General of the department of corrections notified the Justice minsister of Taksins continued hospitalization. I assume the justice minister can defend himself in parliament? Not about taksin, it's about the government handling of the case.

Even bigger:

"A search of the suspect’s condo in the sub-district of Chang Phueak uncovered over 400 grams of cocaine, 595 grams of magic mushrooms, and 160 Valium and Xanax pills."

And this sounds like a good weekend for me and my mates. 

He's the only one wearing a mask ...possibly to hide his humungous grin as he laughs at us all for being so nieve and thinking he is sick. Praise the Lord, he has risen from death's door and walks again. A modern day miracle.

Definitely, going to his shire when he dies to get some lottery numbers.

The only people I see hating farang are other farang. Forums are full of farangs creating horrible anti farang echo chambers to vilify others in. Most Thais really couldn't careless.  This thread a great example of some of the (now removed) trolling and bickering between farangs. This death was one of the many (30+ average) road deaths that happen every day in Thailand. It was most likley an accident, unless of course you think he intentionally killed the person.

So climate change is something new ??

I think we know it is not new.

It's just the rate of change that is new..usually climate changes slowly over hundreds of thousands or even millions of years not in a couple of decades. 

Also humans have never experienced a large scale climate change event before. Last major climate shift (excluding the younger dryas event) humans were still apes. 

So no national shame or disgrace about military coups, corruption, shocking road traffic accidents numbers etc etc....no we are shocked by people looking at other people having sex.. lol.

and return soon to make Thailand great again

And the people of Thailand are the proverbial stuffed turkey while Taksin and the Shins are the pigs in blankets right?

Was he in ICU ?

Don't you follow the news??? He was too sick for prison and his prison  lacked suitable medical care  facilities to care for him (facilities that are fine for every other convicted criminal) but taksin is well enough for parole and straight off home at the earliest opportunity. 

People of Thailand you've been conned. Enjoy it, while he enjoys his champagne at home.
