What is really staggering is how some fool decided to let him back into a position of authority, and give him the limelight he so desperately craves, despite being previously banished for his many offenses. This is no crime fighter. This is a publicity hound.

They simply need start a nationwide culling program. Most soi dogs are a nuisance. Most are mangy, some are disease ridden, many are hungry, tired, and lead terrible lives of desperation. Some attack people, some terrorize neighborhoods. Many harass the domestic dogs, and cause them to bark all night long, like in my neighborhood. Nobody wants to do anything about it. Culling is the answer. If they found a budget for it, they could do it Western style. Round up the dogs, clean them up, vaccinate them, and put them up for adoption. The ones who are not adopted after 60 days are simply put down. Nothing cruel about it. Not doing something like this, is both cruel to the dogs and to the neighborhoods they infest. The average dog bite cost alot money. A series of rabies shots, etc. And that is assuming someone was not hurt badly, like a small child. So, we should prioritize the health of mangy, miserable soi dogs over the well being of the human population?

Perhaps they would be less resistant to craft beer, if there was high quality beer already available here. Since the major brewers make garbage, they have alot to be weary of, and have to continue their corrupt ways.

The reputation issues the RTP faces were decades in the making. This is not just about a bad month. More like a bad century. If they wanted to improve their reputation they could start with practicing that strange and exotic thing called law enforcement. Next, they could move on to traffic safety. In other words, start doing all the things they don't do, on a daily basis. Though pleasant to look at, nobody is going to be fooled by a pretty spokeswoman. As usual with the RTP, it is all about empty gestures.

Note to Prayuth and his goombahs. This is what courage and morality looks like! Such an extreme opposite from the vacuous level of ethics you guys demonstrate.

I will lend you a million dollars. But conditions apply. The goon squad should get real. Let any foreigner on a retirement, or marriage visa, or work permit buy up to two rai of land, and own the house he builds on it. Those should be the only conditions. This is not going to have an effect on land or house prices. The Thais are already doing a good job of pushing up land prices on their own. It is time you guys showed us some decency and respect. Many of us spend alot of money propping up the economy you guys sabotaged.

But will they be able to get the police to actually pull over, fine and confiscate cars and trucks belching huge black clouds of smoke, due to heinous diesel engines that are not properly maintained? That could help alot. Get the cops to do some actual law enforcement work!

Does anyone consider 3.2% growth from 2021 progress? Where do these guys come from? The TAT has demonstrated time and again how out of touch they are, how incapable they are, and how they just pull numbers out of a hat. Their predictions mean as little as the latest utterance of an ignoramus like Kanye West.

Agreed. Anything other than I had a fit and sliced my finger off. Or, my man was making me crazy, so I though mangling my hand was the right thing to do.

Sounds like a nation on the brink of collapse. Much like in the US. What an absolutely horrific job to have.

As stated previously, a private hospital would have been a better choice. I avoid public hospitals most of the time, as they tend to devour many hours of my day. Not worth it. Also, you always have the option of turning down any prescription drug. Especially useless and over priced ones. I do not see this as racism, as much as ignorance, and very dumb policy. Covid is not a huge problem anymore, and unless the medicine is in short supply, why inconvenience a foreigner, who shows up for treatment, and is willing to pay?

For the rest of her life she will have to live with the regret of one moment of sheer stupidity, every time she glances at her missing finger, every time someone asks her about her "accident". She essentially marked herself for life, as deficient and deeply disturbed. So, why doesn't Thai society discourage stupidity?

Firing 10 shots and killing a man, over getting pushed is heinous, sickening, not the way real men behave and intolerable. Unfortunately, this world has way too many law enforcement officers who are drunk with their power, and abuse it. This is not just about Thailand. This is about toxic and dangerous law enforcement. Never liked them. Never will.

As any of us who are sceptical of the intentions of the authorities know, appearances are often not what they seem to be.

Do I look worried? Jeez. There are alot of things in this world that are worthy of worrying about. 64 cases in Africa are not one of them. Eseecially since it is NOT an airborne disease.

Did it ever occur to her that she was simply incompatible with her husband? Or is it possible she is simply insane? When your face is bruised up, and you start slicing your fingers off, it is never a good sign. You are never too young for a wonderful and refreshing divorce.

Hope. I guess hope is a good thing to have. However, it has to be accompanied by progressive policy. There are plenty is smart people here, but none of them are in government, which is populated by the bottom of the barrel dregs of society. Hope? How about offering foreign companies incentives, like other nations do. Tax incentives, home and land ownership, living up to promises, improved transportation and cargo infrastructure, friendlier immigration policy. I could go on. The dreams do not seem to connect with the reality.

Some people do not even know Pattaya is a large city, with many excellent golf resorts, race cart tracks, and lots to do besides getting laid. Some have a one track mind. And a rather closed mind, to boot.

Question everything. Believe nothing. That should be the motto of this administration. They are right to question both the predictions, and the current dire condition of the economy. This is a disaster of their own making. So many mistakes made. So little courage shown. So little talent and vision present in the room. Tourism has been utterly destroyed. They slaughtered the Golden goose with 1,750 rounds of ammunition.

I think you are confusing the over used term hi-so, with super rich. Very few so called hi-so here could afford a private jet. There are alot of rich people here, but even someone with a net worth of two billion baht can barely afford the purchase and upkeep of a private jet. They could afford to charter one from time to time. Perhaps even fractional ownership of one. There are only 15 families here with 2 billion US, or more. Another 17 with between one and two billion. They are the super rich. There are another estimated 82,000 people with a net worth estimated to be over a million. Not alot. That is compared to 22 million people in the US. https://www.forbes.com/lists/thailand-billionaires/?sh=4aea9707223e The Global Wealth Report from Credit Suisse says there were 21,951,000 millionaires in the U.S. at the end of 2020. https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/wealth/how-many-millionaires-are-in-the-us/

This guy is truly a blot on the face of this nation. Every time he opens his mouth, nonsense just pours out of it. Note to the general. You want to make the roads safer? Get the highway patrol to actually patrol the highways, and start pulling people over for driving a truck at 40kph in the fast lane, excessive speeding (150kph, or higher), reckless driving, etc. They do that in most other nations. Why not here? Never seen it happen. Ever. As usual, you are spouting stuff you have no intent to honor, or back up. You are an empty suit.

Excellent advice. Some women cannot handle the word no, and many men don't know how to say it. Setting boundaries is just the beginning of a long and healthy relationship.

Why only the 12th week forward? I think it should be the opposite. Legal up to the 12th week. Anyone can decide by then.

First it would appear they deliberately tried to sabotage nightlife here, in order to purify the nation, in their own image of perfection. Now, desperation is setting in, and it is likely Prayuth is getting a good dressing down, behind the scenes, by his puppet masters. So, now they want to extent the hours. Pathological behavior? Unhinged? Or have they finally regained their senses, through great economic damage and peril?

He is the last person in the world this decrepit and failed administration wants to run against. He is popular, capable, smart and unlike all the ugly generals, he is good looking and photogenic. Thailand desperately needs inspiring leadership. Down with the dinosaurs. In with the youth. Let Thailand progress and move forward.
