If weed become for medicinal use only....can i get my health insurance to pay for it?? And drive up Premiums for everyone... that the next question.

Could the same not be I think the government needs to pay up because many of the 'weed shops' are legally registered with the government agencies as weed shops. If the government has certified your shop as a tax-paying legal business, and then the government and its agencies are partially complict in allowing you to legally and knowingly work as a registered business, they need to pay you compensation as they would to any other tax-paying legal business that was forced to close down due to enhanced legislation. I think the risk is irrelevent to this aruguement.

I think so - If you are a resident, I have claimed lottery prizes before. The last two digit one at the lottery office no problems.

What about the 6 plants everyone is allowed to grow at home???

Oh right..I'm a tax resident....I always thought I was a guest in Thailand. So do I have resident status now lol.

Yes, we can all be critical of his comments but as Abbas is a man of 87 I cannot help but wonder how many Palastinians he has watched over being buried in his lifetime after being killed at the hands of Israel. Maybe their blood has tainted his words? Love beats hate everytime, but hate only fuels more hate - Jim Jefferies.

MFP accused of stealing food from parliment. How about... PT / BJT / and co accused of stealing parliment from the people. One of those accusation is plainly false. You decide.

The issue here is the lack of due diligence that was made at the time of the order by the Thai government - It is the buyers responsibility to check that (especially in arms and munitions) what they order can be delivered. Mind you Thailand has a good track record on this - remember the GT200 bomb detectors that cost the country over 1 billion baht and were a complete con. Good on the Chinese they have managed to get the Thais to cough up the cash for something they cannot deliver. ....And now the farangs are being asked nicely to fix the issue for Thailand. Lol

Wouldn't that be like making beer and wine producers responsible for drink driving and the financial loss the use of alcohol causes?

Steve...enough about parliment please...this thread is about Facebook.

And while they are at it fine the hell out of AIS DTAC and True as the number of fraudulent sms and phone calls coming via their network is astonishing at the moment. Or better still shut them down....lol

If MFP rejects the leader of the opposition, and with the dems I turmoil and completly ruderless and clueless, I read yesterday that the leader of the opposition will fall to the Fair Party. Who have a single seat. An opposition of one person essentially. Madness.

I think PTP was banking on a landslide victory, when that failed, they knew their options were limited.

Really? You think? I'd bet my last dollar both UTN and PPR will demand the senates ternure is extended for another XX number of years, or they may remove their support of PT in this coalition- Without the senate there is no back stop from preventing MFP having there own PM and amending 112 in any future elections. I suspect the sentators are here to stay.

Who???

Plenty of Thai are drunken fools too.

But the bouncers were playing their hooligan antics at home right? The only hooligans were the Thai bouncers.

FU PT.

Mate.... let's be honest here beating up a drunk elderly tourist hardly promotes Thailand global image as a family destination. A bouncers job is to deal with drunk people. That's why they are employed by bars and clubs which serve the alcohol and profit from the alcohol they sell. Bars and clubs want their customers to get drunk it's the basis of their business but drunk people make poor choices (Thailand road deaths are testement to that). Your bouncers must be trained in dealing with drunk idiots who due to a drink too many, (and more money in the till) may have become rude and difficult. A verbal de-escalation is a far better out come than a video that is shown globally of your bars bouncers kicking the crap out of an old man.

A bouncers job is not to beat the crap out of customers. It is to de escalate situations even if provoked and use appropriate force to ensure everyone gets home safe. And that is the key phrase. Appropriate force. Defending themselves is different to beating up customers. If Thai bouncers are so thinned skinned and sensitive that a slap and a bit of verbal from a sixty year old man warrent a beating...they are rank amateurs and you should feel worried not safe in their presence of such poorly trained bouncers.

I am sure the bouncers actions, now widely shared in the UK media, will help TAT promote Pattaya as a wonderful and welcoming family resort, wouldn't you agree. A bouncers job is to de-escalte the situation, even if provoked. Hope those assulted press criminal charges against the bouncers and the bouncers are fined, (and ideally deported and banned for life even though they are Thai)

If the criticism can possibly stop Thailand from achieving the same heights as the UK and Australia, then that criticism is well spoken. Is it not?

Time to boost and stimulate domestic tourism and consumption: That is basically what Thai economic policy has been for the past 5 years. I guess this news shows it has been fantastically successful. Well done to the caretaker government.

Snakes, the lot of em. The views of the people be dammed. This is a race for power, fame and prestige now. Promises are forgotten and lies become truth in the blink of an eye. What an example our leaders set for future generations. A low bar indeed.
