How are the banks able to get away with charging so much interest on loans, when the benchmark rate is so low? Seems felonious.

Sounds like he is in very bad shape. What a nightmare for his family. Bizarre that his friends pull glass out of his throat. That is basic medic 101 stuff. Never remove an object from the throat, without the help of a medical expert. Never, ever. Wonder what the actual circumstances were. The pothole story has alot of holes in it. Was he a skilled driver? Was he wearing a high quality helmet? Was he sober? Was another vehicle involved? So many questions.

This is very tragic. No parent should ever have to bury their child. It certainly appears to be murder, most foul. Let us hope the superior minds at the RTP are able to solve this case soon.

Never, ever hesitate to put a dumb, ignorant, nosy or inane person in their place. Good on you. Stupid is stupid.

We are the great Thai army. We are the noble ones. See how much great work we did in the past 9 years. You should let us rule for life. We love the power and the perks, and you are only lowly citizens. You are not important. Your well being is not important. We are important. Listen to us, and do not defy our will. Don't you understand these simple principals?

Yep. I decided it was a quality of life issue, and bowing down to the surly demands of lowly, arrogant government officials was not how I wanted to spend my time. It was a good decision.

Good points. As a Westerner I can accept blame, apologize for an offense caused and take responsibility for my actions. No big deal. I care not one iota if I "lose face". Means less than zero to me what others think of me. Some will say it is a cultural difference. True. But, what about the deeper aspects of self esteem and having enough of it to be able to act like a man? A real man accepts responsibility for problems he has caused. When that is being constantly deflected due to a pathological fear of looking bad in the eyes of others, that creates enormous problems for society. I despise the practice of face, and think it is the single greatest weakness of many Thai people. Many years ago my motorbike was parked outside of a bar, and some fool drove by trying to squeeze in between an oncoming car and the bikes. He smashed into about 5 bikes. Then he got up and drove away. I asked the bartender if she recognized him and she said, yeah we all know who he is. The police found him within an hour. We met at the police station. I told him exactly what I thought of him. That he was not a man. That he was a tiny coward for running away. That he was not raised correctly and was a loser. He was shocked. Guess nobody had ever told him the truth before. He was obviously an overly coddled creep. He even asked me to lie to his insurance company about what happened. I told him that I was not going to help him with his failed life. That was on him.

Let us hope this was an accident. If not, it was an unspeakable crime against humanity.

Encourage her to keep asking questions, and challenging her teachers. They need to be challenged, as they are a big part of the problem. The biggest part of the problem is the government's desire NOT to improve education. Support the elite and keep labor prices low, by keeping the people poorly educated.

We will. No we won't. Yes, we will and it will be more. Oh, I guess we shouldn't. Maybe we should. Should we get advice? Oh, it might hurt tourism. Really? We hadn't thought of that before. Now we won't. Guess it was a bad idea, after all. Maybe we are not genius minds. Maybe we are bottom of the barrel selections, as some have indicated.

They keep saying they want more tourism, after Prayuth, Phiphat and Anutin nearly destroyed the entire industry with their extreme cowardice. Not the SOITF (shoot ourselves in the foot) gang continues to get it wrong. Hope they are ousted asap. Woe is Thailand with the goons in charge.

I disagree. I think the acceptance of, and practice of face weakens Thai society to an astonishing degree.

It is incumbent upon us to demonstrate survival skills at all times. Crossing any road without looking is just the most egregious and negligent sort of mistake. In Los Angeles they have strong pedestrian laws. Drivers are ticketed for not allowing a pedestrian to cross. Yet, I see people walking right into flowing traffic at crosswalks without so much as a glance. Some of them die. Oh well. It is a bit like taking fentanyl. You have to know it can kill you. At least have a glance. Geez.

Very suspicious timing for these fake numbers to come out. I don't see anything dropping in price. Do you? Not in Thailand, not in the US. Fake army sponsored news. Total malarkey as they say in NY.

Sorry. Not buying it. I don't care how high one gets. Stabbing oneself in the chest is crazy rare. Not impossible, but unlikely. He might have fallen on a sharp object, or?

Which one? Don't drink, or don't cross the street with greet care?

1. How was she able to get away with staying without paying? I don't think I have ever stayed at a hotel, without paying in advance. 2. Why are the owners of the hotel behaving so poorly? Making the staff pay for new sheets? Most foul, indeed. Very toxic people. 3. What does her beauty have to do with anything?

Crossing the road is very serious business in Thailand. No regard is given to pedestrians. One must do so without extreme care. Especially if one has been drinking.

It would be an enormous risk for the little guy to attempt to cling to power if he lost the election, and there is little doubt a loss will happen. He is despised for a dozen good reasons.

Yes. It is very well known that most Japanese products are far superior to most Chinese products. This is not a secret. When given a choice between made in Japan and made in China, which do most of us pick? Nothing has changed. China makes some quality products, like the iphones, some computers, etc. But, they also make an enormous amount of junk. I would definitely not trust my life with one of their cars. No thanks.

I was referring to the countless people I knew. I did know some who died of heroine, but never hallucinogenics. But, that was a good one. Keep up your humor. We enjoy it!

Wait. Hold on. Don't rush to judgment. I have a new and unique defense. I honestly thought she was my wife Marla. Believe me. I am very trustworthy, as you may know. She did not smell like Marla. But, I thought it was her. And the resistance I got was way more than usual. Maybe I was confused. Anyway, my genius defense should help. I never get caught, because of my brilliance.

Thailand and renewables in the same sentence seems oxymoronic. Is progress really bring made? That would be beyond amazing and wonderful.

Another example of a once in a generation opportunity to engage in savage profiteering, with Covid being the catalyst for unheard of corporate greed and massive gouging. Gas prices remain stubbornly high, yet oil prices continue to drop, and these goons are making record profits.

If he were really high on weed, he would likely have been watching TV, abs snacking with a bag of chips, or some chocolate. It is more likely a result of getting off his meds, not smoking some weed. An example of the powerful investigative skills of the RTP. If a refrigerator or TV lands on you, it can cause alot of problems. Glad nobody was injured. Just another nutter having a bad day.
