Nice deflection. I take you have no source to back up your statement that Hun Sen is an international war criminal. He is a lot of bad things, but currently does not have that legal status. It’s better to stick to facts rather than hyperbole.

There are more than a few Muslims down south.

That or just fly in an F16? Simpler?

I don’t think you are correct to say that Hun Sen is an international war criminal. Could you provide a source for your statement? He certainly has a lot to answer for, as a casual Wikipedia search shows. But he has never been convicted of war crimes and seemingly never accused of them either. As to why Thailand doesn’t just take by force the territory that is at dispute when it clearly has the military might to do so if it so wished, perhaps the Thais don’t wish to be seen to be an aggressor nation?

All over a patch of waste land with next to nothing in it. What is the point?

A lot of focus on the 3 Americans. Not so much on the 3 staff who agreed to rehabilitation and the other customers who tested positive, presumably Thai?

So it’s mob rule in Thailand now? Oh wait, the yellow and red shirts already showed us that in years past.

It’s how genocide starts….

“With the baht currently sitting at approximately 38.5 to theUS dollar,” Not saying that this isn’t a regurgitated article from years ago, but in what universe does the Thai baht currently sit at 38.5 to the USD?

“With contrasting testimonies, law enforcement officials are meticulously analysing the incident, cross-referencing witness statements with video evidence to establish the truth and assign accountability.” FFS, just look at the video. Ignore all the lies from witnesses be they Thai or foreign.

Probably student. Or visa runs off a tourist visa.

Two weeks is more than two hours, is it not?

I think the issue is MORE than two hours. Two hours is kind of a grace period. These guys took the bikes from Krabi to Phuket and kept them for way more than two hours.

Thailand recognizes American Football as a sport. I’m sure the NFL is over the moon with the commercial opportunities presented by such a move. Not that Thailand is behind the curve of course, I mean it’s not really THAT popular. Just look at the paltry viewing figures for the Super Bowl every year.

Not sure the Japanese consumer wants it though. Japanese rice is quite different to other rice. And Thailand has quite a bit of its own. That’s why it exports so much!

Yeah, and guess who will be snapping up the land at a discount from bankrupt farmers? Wealthy Thais just keep getting wealthier.

“Vitai has a track record that may prove beneficial in aligning the central bank's policies more closely with governmental priorities. Analysts anticipate that his appointment will enhance cooperation between the central bank and the government, fostering bettereconomic management during these testing times.“ That quote worried me a lot as well. Sounds like the government has its man on the inside. Trump will be envious.

Death toll rising? To one? I guess it is rising, but not quite to the extent suggested by the headline.

“Many underage as far as I could see.” Personal observation?

Not quite true. Other than roads, try walking around rural villages in Isaan and you’ll need that walking stick to protect yourself from packs of semi wild dogs.

But think how safe the rest of Chiang Mai must be if that restrains so dangerous!

“Plans include the expansion of Terminal 1 to the east, construction of a new Terminal 2 to the south near the Bang Na–Trat Road and development of a fourth runway. The airport will also integrate advanced digital technologies and smart systems to streamline operations and enhance the passenger experience.” So many plans to do so much. And yet as we speak the airport is operating at over capacity in terms of volume of passengers and to the eye of even a casual observer, bursting at the seams. So that is now, how many years till the plans become reality? But in the meantime, keep adding airlines to the list and stay number one.

I knew there was a flaw in my argument 🤦‍♂️

I believe it was claiming Chiang Mai as the safest city in the world. The rest of Thailand must be very dangerous indeed to wipe out the rating of such a safe city.

Often people stay in Pattaya for a couple of weeks. Enough time to identify the culprit? The need is that the next week there will be a new victim. So there is a need to stop them. As to means, if there isn’t time to bring a case to court, we all know the police could “black ball” an individual if they wanted to do so. Arresting them for prostitution every single night would be a start. Or, just turn the other cheek and forget about it till the next tourist turns up to report theft. Who cares if another sex tourist gets ripped off..
