Indeed. Same as it ever was. In the end, this whole mess will be decided by prejudicial shadow decrees. The darkness will get it's way.

Nothing worse than extremists in the midst.

As with historic perspective repeated and promoted by particular circles - nothing appears as it seems to be. This is Burma.

I wouldn't wager on that suggestion. PT is closer to oppressive establishment in design.......perhaps, they're not Junta Gang-like, yet wouldn't take much to push them over to the dark side.

And most seriously amusing is the implanted seed that PT harbors some sort of liberal/progressive working-class hero stand - subliminally promoted as well is that they are "opposition" to the traditional ruling class. Far from such deluded reality. PT, as most others, are tied to the traditional establishment mindset and doings. Give 'em time to cure and MV will fester toward these bases as well - the nature of politics and political machines serving the masses......eventually they go array to tradition, forgetting what they exist for.

Well.....you know how that is. Priorities of the state - pork barrel and grotesque expenditures/profits before policies and projects that might benefit the commons. This practice appears to be practiced universally the world over.

Logical in theory, yet never in practice. We won't be surprised as to how all this pans out......the usual suspects.

Truer than not. .....and all attached to the same club. One-n-the-same, can't tell one from the other.

There are only two purposes for the military here. 1] Coups and putting down the subsequent rebellions that occur. 2] Protection, and the image thereof, that we're not allowed to touch upon. 'Tis wonder that they have ruled the roost for ages.

......and then integrate a seemingly Thai logic into such a scenario.

Everything you know has it's origins in Asia and other non-Euro locales. Ain't historical diffusion grand....and twisted into a superlative grandeur. In the meanwhile, might be to your best and collective interests to get over yourselves. So it is.

A long history of arbitrary accusations and dirt slinging has been their call. Even manufactured items of a trivial nature will do.....and the abiding Thai msm, by their very controlled nature, does everything/anything to perpetuate such nonsense. Never mind real journalistic integrity of the so called Fifth Estate to critique, challenge and question....but instead, are beholding to the traditional ruling classes and cycle about the false and non sequitur matters of the day. It's not so much that the dinosaur gang engages in this stimulous and actions [that's what they'll always do], but the msm that assist in promoting and attention getting in the subtle and prejudicial manner.

Nay. The ever encroaching and oppressive visa rules and regulations would get my vote.

In defence, there's an alarming percentage of countries the world over who find themselves with consistent shortages of medical professionals and technicians - this is not a recent phenomena [Covid era and other factors], as this is the way it's been within these fields since memory......coupled with contemporary populations that seek medical/health aid when it's truly not necessary.

Wasn't this their strategy from the start......especially if they found themselves with ample leverage within this elective circus. Could've seen this coming.

Uh-huh. Blame it one the technology.

Large? Appears to be a juvenile.

Yet, it does own Samui airport [as it does in Sukhothai] and therefore the only carrier fling in-n-out of Samui is their own...

Like everything here, it's based on rackateering. Whatta shame for everyday hard working folks.

Oh dear. I should say so. I'm taking it that the voters of this prestigious awarding have never experienced the everyday workings [for years] of Bangkok Airways.

They also appear to have a firm misunderstanding to using sit and sat in their proper form and tense.

Do you know what the song NOWHERE MAN was a euphemism [or misdirection] regarding?

Some might tinned tuna not to be tuna whatsoever [from a purist pov]. Just saying....

Which begs the inquiry of what a netizen might be - specified or not.

Almost iconic [Time Has Come] for the era. Thanks for sharing...
