This is worldwide. There are simply too many devious people, who refuse to work for a living. They are social vampires, sucking the blood of society. Alot of people just do not understand how corrosive, damaging, degrading and nasty social media can be. There are an infinite number of scammers, predators and fraudsters out there. Most of us have the good sense to avoid them, and not get taken in by their unwillingness to do actual work for a living. It boggles the mind, to consider the number of people who fall for these scams. Someone calls you, or contacts you online, and you send them money? Someone you have never met? Someone you have not researched? What gives? Where are the survival instincts? How is a youngster supposed to have the wisdom to know? Granted being asked to send naked pics to a stranger is a bit much. But, I am sure it happens all the time. There is little chance of these people getting apprehended. Very little. And it is a strong indication of just how bent, warped and misguided contemporary culture and society is, that someone can be considered an idol or celebrity just because they have alot of followers on Tik tok, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Personally, I consider social media to be the most corrosive and degenerate force in culture today, and they can be downright dangerous, on multiple levels.

Driving a bike at excessive speed here, or on the wrong side of a highway, to save 5 minutes, is an invitation for trouble. Ask yourself one thing. Is my life already complicated enough, without a serious bike accident? Or death? Darwin insisted that some species and some members of those species were more fit for survival than others. It would appear the roads here, and especially motorbike riders, are a perfect example of his theories in action. It takes certain qualities to survive on the roads here. Patience, being very conscious of your surroundings, driving defensively, avoiding excessive speed, especially in town, following basic traffic rules and laws and avoiding being overly stupid, at all times. 95% of the time someone dies on a bike here, it is due to a lack of attention, being nearly unconscious, or commiting a very stupid act, and the inability to comprehend the very serious, and very dangerous task at hand. Many Thais are extremely casual about driving, and seem to have little understanding of the dangers involved, and the need to be 100% focused, at all times. Especially on a motorbike.

Why aren't 7 million people shutting down Bangkok? Where is the anger? Where is the indignation? Why such staggering passivity? When will the Thai people draw a line in the sand? What has to be done to them before they say NO!

No. Just got baited by this fool and was speculating on what it was that he/she was asking.

Wil this guy ever just go away? The best thing he could do for the nation would be to move overseas, never to be heard from again. He is a boil on the face of Thailand. Such an incapable leader. Where do they find these bottom of the barrel dregs?

Notice how the OP never once replied, nor provided any further info? He/she was bored and wanted to bait us all.

Some vital info would be helpful. Are you a woman? Are you under 35? Pretty? Kids? A Thai or a foreigner? Are we talking about a short term loan? Or a monthly stipend? We can start from there.

Well, at least they are comments and responses to other posts, instead of me bragging about the many things I am doing to save mankind!

That may be one tiny aspect of this. I think it has more to do with making sure the large and mediocre looking women in the audience are not made to feel uncomfortable. I think that is 98% of the reluctance to cast gorgeous women in American productions.

I am going to assume that was meant as humor. I do not have a bigoted bone in my body. I love diversity and think it is one of America's greatest assets. I do think liberals and Hollywood are taking it too far. Alot of pandering. I find some Asian and Black women gorgeous. But, I don't see many in Hollywood productions, these days. Emily Ratajkowski, Ana De Armas, and a few others are an exception. The younger versions of Olga Kurylenko, Eva Green, Blake Lively, Winona Ryder, were gorgeous.

And it is likely one of the dumbest policies in the history of the nation. The UK saves a fortune on it's expat population. On so many levels. It is likely sour grapes. We are so great. You can't leave. That is not right!

She is quite hot. For some reason, Hollywood seems to steer away from gorgeous women. Very, very few in film today. Alot of modest looking woman, alot of bigger women, very few super hot women. Many more in foreign films.

Anutin is a very unimpressive man. He failed miserably as health minister. He failed in his bid to become PM, thankfully. Wow, he can fly. But, I wouldn't trust him to fly me around! We all know the type. Deeply insecure, low self esteem. Overly rich, always bragging, and in great need of approval from others. Look at me!

I have seen 10's on rare occasion during the Olympics. I don't think there are any women who are 10s. It does discredit to the scale by using that term. A 7.8, an 8.2. Not a 10. And not in her 40s! I once met a 9.5 in Bali back in 1986. I still remember her.

Thank you for your endless kindness, charity, and support. You are a champion, among champions, and a tribute to this forum.

Hope not. The extent to which he failed during covid was unforgivable. He had no business being health minister to begin with. His game is concrete, not health.

Truly large men do something because it is the right thing to do, and they do it in silence and in private. Very small men do something good, and the whole world needs to know about it. They post it on social media, and make sure to juice the opportunity, for every bit of credit.

No mention of whether it was Raja or Seatran. Raja is typically less dependable, the boats are much older, and they seem to have more accidents and incidents.

Hey, truth is truth. When it is a good one, you work it!

Turn it around on the male teachers. Make them wear speedos, and dance for the students. That will show them!

You seem to have an issue with organized religion, per se. Alot of people do. But, that does not mean that a higher power of some sort does not exist. Many scientists believe in a higher power. You don't. You can spend the next year trying to defend your position and it changes nothing. You are not a believer in something you cannot see. That is on you. Don't try to pigeon hole the entire scientific community with the same limitations you have.

Note to the dummies at the highway patrol. You don't bust anyone for not wearing a seat belt, reckless driving or speeding, at a roadblock. You find them driving on the highway. If you guys would actually engage in patrolling the highways, things could be alot safer. There would be a deterrent.

Some guys like me, simply prefer younger women. Not kids, but women who are 15, even 20 or 25 years younger than us. For a dozen very valid reasons. I could break them down, but why bother? The PC crew will jump on this and say it is not right. You should not be able to have this kind of life, without jumping over ridiculous hurdles! Means nothing to me. I do not do PC. Why be with a woman our age, if we do not need to? Nothing wrong with it, if it works for you. But It is virtually impossible for a 60 year old man in the US, to hook up with a 36 year old woman, unless she is very fat or very ugly, or he is a centi millionaire, or is famous. Period. It just does not happen in this day and age. Here it is possible. Granted he will likely get with a woman of lesser means, who needs a guy who can provide some financial stability. So what? Who cares? Most women want financial stability anywhere in the world, whether they admit it or not. The difference is here the women are more honest about their financial needs and desires. Older women tend to be very set in their ways, stubborn, and not open minded. No thanks. I know a lot of men who have engaged in relationships with lovely, kind, supportive, humorous, and sexy women here, who are no longer lonely. We have very good lives. Fulfilling lives. Lives we could never dream of having back in the US, Oz, NZ, UK, Canada, or Scandinavia. Even though my wife is very smart, I do not get much intellectual stimulation from the relationship. But, I get so much else. And in all of the relationships I was ever in with really smart women, who I got intellectual stimulation from, there was also so much grief to contend with. Such combative women. So much competition. Yikes. Thrilled to death to have left all of that behind. When I was only in the relationship for a year or so, I had dinner with a very sharp American friend. I asked him about that. He laughed. He said, when you feel the need for intellectual stimulation, call me. We can hook up for the meal, and break down the origins of the cosmos. Do not fret. That same brain that gives you that stimulation, also tends to give you so much grief, it is not worth it, on any level. Get over it. Enjoy all of the other qualities, that make your day so delightful and fulfilling. Great advice, that I have followed to this day. I learned long ago that an intellectual woman, who can match me intellectually, also tends to be a combative woman, and the chance of harmony is low. I for one, love a harmonious house, where my woman is joyful and light hearted, with a great sense of humor, and an amazing attitude toward life, and us. Just my point of view. Whatever works for you, stick with it.

Wan says, the Houses of Representatives and the Senate will instead deliberate Move Forward’s bill to remove Article 272 of the Constitution. OK. So he says there is a chance that the will of the people will be acknowledged, and Thailand will pretend to be a democracy?

Closer to 400 baht. A fairly hefty entrance fee. I get the annoyance. A reasonable position to take with tourists. Fairly arrogant, ignorant and obnoxious when it comes to expats, with a Thai DL or ID card.
