I remember living in a small village in Northern Lopburi, the residents there was all eager for some election or another going to happen, because they were guaranteed a 500 baht note for their votes.

This crap is starting to become un-controllable. Something needs to be done.

Critics pointed out that MPs, as public figures and lawmakers, are expected to exemplify legal and ethical conduct. 🤣

Why anyone even wants to go there anymore is a puzzle. I have Thai friends who ran small businesses there move out because they can't stand it either.

Just don't regulate the skirt length please.

Bob, you need to at least put on a shirt. Jeez..

Dang, He promised me the same thing. How is this going to look to him.

Never happen.

I was thinking the same thing, and agree. 👍

exactly.

Interesting that most of the Vaping paraphernalia here in the US comes from Thailand.

Just what I've been thinking for years.

I believe when I came to Thailand in 2006, it was 41 baht to the dollar.. great days.

Yeah, what they really want is for tourists to come to Thailand, rent a expensive hotel room, only come out of the room to eat an expensive meal, go to a designated ATM machine set up by the Govt, deposit a few thousand baht, then go back to the hotel and back to your room. Easy Peasy money.

I'm sorry, but I was under the impressions that Thaksin wanted to come home to be with his grandchildren. Is his grandchildren in Narathiwat?

The majority of tourists come to Thailand to party. They can easily go somewhere else.

Except, being photographed with the girl cheek to cheek, really no precept broken, but the Monks do have a rule about being alone with a woman.. although not sure they were alone. But again, was he a monk when this photo was taken.

But Vietnam, Singapore and the Phillipines seem to handle it rather well.

Pretty sure being photo'd with a woman isn't a civil offense. "Potential harsher charges could emerge if further evidence surfaces."

It's a pretty sad state of affairs, when your tourism dollars are reliant on alcohol sales.

Concerns are being raised over the unseemly behavior potentially tarnishing Pattaya’s reputation. 🤣

😢

I was just going to make this same point.

Every time you see a photo of Thaksin, his daughter, the PM, is in the background.. this should give you a clue on his importance.

Just what I was thinking.
