Can never have enough Chinese visitors....

Such actions don't fix anything. They'll just cycle in similar players. The real/true fix it remedy will take a lot more doing. Don't have to be too knowledgeable regarding contemporary Thai history to understand how things really work here.

Perhaps. Or not. Their recent history has proven otherwise - being officially/legally ostracized twice in a period of a few years, they seem intent by way of reinventing and morphing themselves stronger. Rather honourable and resistant character in these continuing troubled times. It appears that the FFP/Progressive Movement [or whatever they're calling themselves these days] has a growing popular following than ever before. ....and the core is not backing down, regardless of current circumstances or future considerations/actions by the ever present and suppressive Ammat. Best to them whatever the future outcomes.

Must be a deluded superior comparative thing, where one's trivial existence is competing continuously. Almost pathetic from a cultural perspective.

Good Christians.

Quite astonishing as to growth of respective provincial stadiums of the last 7-10 years. Many, privately built and others underwritten by local government. Quite the boom throughout the country.

Should be noted that this dramatic change in currency rates is deriving from the Thai side, which is clearly being fiercely manipulated - a survival technique that has to be pursued. Little [if any] to do with the deluded and speculative ideals of a healthy American economy. If truer reflections of a slowly tanking American economy and lesser valued U.S. dollar [worldwide] were to be realized, it might be a different storyline.

In this instance, Junta is a metaphoric code for something more influential.

More the attention than anything else.

The usual suspects are easily fooled and seduced. The same folks who really know little of the society/country.

Football for JEEEEESUZZZZ. ????

Another expert.

Dontcha just love these polls and surveys that most buy as gospel... Repeated over and again.

Just becoming comfortable with little or none around. The only real damage to be seen are within the Farang/Tourist Ghettos. the rest of the country functions nicely, as it always has, without the myth of the tourist economy.

And still today, most are oblivious as to the entities that have long plagued this society. What happens when the puppet master runs out of servable puppets?

Oh dear..... ????

Imagine that. And right under your noses. Astonished......as these things never happen.

Don't suggest this to the blind established hard-liner narrative types.... ????????

Nothing more pleasing than a fully appointed government and it's kin.

In a comparative light......[not that we need to pursue such endeavours] Today, as we speak, it appears most of the world's authoritarians have lifted or eased the proverbial face coverings protocol in one variable or another - there will be an exception or two. Yet, we still witness the voluntary wearing of masks by a goodly percentage of folks the world over - doesn't matter the locale.
