So what dodgy enterprise are you involved in.........🤭
If that's your best reply a; poorly structured insinuation based on nothing more than your imagination. You don't appear to have anything more of value to add to this thread.

I'm sorry but kicking a pregnant woman 8 months into it is a hate crime I don't care if the Russian whore had her period or not this is not something we should take lightly,, kick her out and ban her for life.
Mike - I was refering to the Swiss / Dr incident in Phuket. But don't let that get in the way of your anger.
IMO she should face the punishment as the law states for anyone who assaults another person, regardless of her nationality or ethnicity. I am sure however, that you will find many supporters for your POV here on the echo-chamber of farang loathing and hate that aseanow has become. Enjoy.
No wonder Thais are starting to dislike us so much when we fan the flames of discontent ourselves.

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.

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.

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??

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.

There has been an unpleasant stench around Chiang Mai that I thought must be a local pig farm, but no it is the reeking fossil himself. Doesn't he realise the voters have moved on and no longer will vote for a criminal billionaire who has never done anything meaningful for his oh do beloved home. Can't wait to wave him good-bye as he departs in his personal private jet paid for from taxes he never paid.
Much as I am not a fan of Taskin I do think he did do something meaningful for his home.
The implementation of the 30 baht health scheme was an incredible achievement. Before this health care was out of reach for many poor families and people had fewer options, especially poor folk with chronic or long term health conditions. Now for the price of less than a dollar you can be treated.
So he did do something very positive for Thailand in this instance, when compared to what was in place beforehand.

"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.

Another bad news Brit.
Hope everyone reads the link article guy is a disgusting major drug dealer.
Good luck in Thai prison loser.
"During the operation, undercover police officers “bought” 12.5 grams of cocaine, 14.7 grams of ketamine, 192 grams of magic mushrooms, 13 grams of LSD, and 9.8 grams of MDMA from Garcia, before promptly arresting him."
That sounds more like a good night out.

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.

Here's the text I'm referring to. The news presenter at first does say the word "foreigner" not Farang so this may have just been the social media people doing this and not heard by the bulk of the people on the TV.
The third hashtag is #Prachuap Khiri Khan...am I now to assume there is now a wave of anti-Pracchuap Khiri Khan sentiment sweeping through Thailand now?

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.

Climate change is not measured by how green the plant is. Poor deflection attempt.

Stop using your air con and fans for the next 3 months and you'll probably be able to answer that question for yourself.

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.

It is interesting that when thaksin was in the hospital, and people were asking about the specifics of his condition(s), we were told that his medical privacy was protected by law.
Now that he's out of the hospital, and on parole, there seems to be no shortage of details from the thaksin camp on his many, many, many health issues.
I'm not sure who this charade is for. No one believes a word said about this fiasco
Because had they given details of his condition, it would have been apparent to everyone, that these conditions could have been treated well and properly within the hospital at the prison but.....
