I question that. Many of us will do nearly anything to avoid the congestion and traffic of Bangkok. I have said it many times. Hua Hin is the perfect hub. And the demand would be there. Alternatives to swampy and Don Muang must be found. The nation sorely lacks easy access to quick flights.

Oh wait a minute. We were just starting to recover from the catastrophic sabotage to tourism, that many blame us for. Maybe they were right. And now we almost killed the Golden goose one more time. Woops. A giant army brain fart. OK, OK, we won't put up confusing hurdles for tourists.

While nobody may have won, Anutin lost the 1% of credibility he had remaining.

How about just some flights? They keep ranting about the super rich. Sorry guys (the so called leadership). The guys with jets have no interest in Thailand. For a dozen good reasons. You had your shot. You could have done so much to fix the issues. You did nothing. What HH airport needs are flights. Instead of being one of the least utilized airports in the world, it could be a great and very practical hub. Explain this extreme lack of flights to us. Please.

Road rage is defined here, as my ability to mature as a human being stopped at the age of 13, so I have been inflicted ever since with a mentality of a juvenile. Sorry, but I just simply don't think like an adult and I have no way to process my anger, and if someone does something that is perceived to be disrespectful to me, well I simply have to act out.

Funny. But, I was referring to civilians and having success outside of the "professional arena", which is a charmer for some of us, due to the lack of effort involved.

I would not paint all Thais as lacking intelligence. I know some who are quite smart. However, the government here consistently seems to end up with real, true, bottom of the barrel types. Lacking brains, vision, empathy, the ability to plan, or think themselves out of a problem. And the army is the worst. There is nothing in the way of a meritocracy here. It is all about wealth and cronies. That diminishes Thailand, significantly.

I don’t aspire to continue in power, but Thailand needs to move forward,” Prayut said in a speech to hundreds of party faithful. Wow. The first part of the statement is the biggest lie of the year, so far. We all know how desperate and power hungry you are, Cha Cha. And the 2nd part? You and your incapable gang have spent 8 very long years putting the nation on a backwards trajectory. And now you talk about moving forward? Do you even know what that means?

Let us hope and pray this man who is substandard, weak, and inferior on every level, never becomes the leader of Thailand. Cha Cha was bad enough and Thailand has lost the little credibility that remained before they took over.

If he has enough respiratory power to survive, then he has the power for a breath test. Period. All the rest is just police PR, intended to deflect blame for letting this overly rich creep off the hook.

The army was the worst thing to ever happen to Thailand. They are levels and levels beyond toxic, not to mention totally useless, and corrupt.

Did they not consider the ramifications of these new rule changes, before putting them out there? Did they think, that since Thailand is the COKU (center of the known universe), the rules would simply be accepted, the tourists would not push back, no confusion would occur, and all would be grand? Or did they not think? Was this just a knee jerk reaction? One they now regret? I wonder if the Thai people are finally starting to comprehend the stupendous lack of capable leadership here?

Never regard Thailand as a foreign country, and always regard it as a distant planet. You will never be confused, disappointed, or perplexed if you adopt that attitude

As posted yesterday in a related column: The last time, it could be argued they were inexperienced. This time? And you could make a further argument that the entire bunch, especially Anutin, were incompetent. But now? Don't people learn from experience? Isn't that just simple evolution? Incompetence is no longer an excuse. Stupidity, arrogance, and perhaps indifference, yes. Maybe these guys are simply too rich to care. They certainly are some of the greatest flip flippers around. Indecision, fear and stupidity are a lethal combination. So are arrogance, malice, and being too rich to care.

1. We don't want you. 2. We don't need you. 3. We don't want you sharing our technology with the Chinese, and we cannot trust you not to do so. 4. You are rejected. It won't happen.

The three worst things to collide into are power poles, big trees, and trains. It is unlikely it was a malfunction with the car. What other conclusions does that leave us with?

Anywhere. Everywhere. Unlike in the west, I have never encountered a group of women who are easier to approach and engage. All you need is some game, courage, a great sense of humor (the sooner you can make them laugh, the better), and a decent appearance. Helps if you have some bling, or are in good shape financially, or are handsome! The worst you get here is a polite rejection of some sort. Not like the cold and vicious reactions you get in the west from women who would not recognize their own femininity if it bit them on the rump.

Well, in this case, I believe it is both malice and stupidity combined. Add in hubris, and you have a lethal combination. And who suffers? As usual, the average Thai. One could argue they don't deserve this. Then again, one could argue they let it happen, and are not doing anything about it now.

It is always big fun when they talk about their current foreign boyfriends. Yeah, does he have any idea what I am doing with you right now? Ha!

It appears to be juvenile tit for tat behavior. On a diplomatic level. Woe is Thailand, with this kind of mickey mouse leadership. Or lack, thereof.

And meanwhile, the chief culprit is behaving like the two bit coward he really is, and hiding out in Florida. It is he who should be pursued. Who does he think he is, Donald?

If this story is true, the only way to get any sort of resolution, would be to personally go after the rotten cops. The legal system here is rotten to the core, the government protects these goons at all levels, and they think they are untouchable. Ha!

You are likely right. But, I think for most, there is a point at which emotional intimacy, trust and faith in men might be compromised. Where is that point? Depends on the woman, for sure. But, for some it might be 450 customers, and for some it might be 3,700. I would prefer to know.

I don't like the highly toxic repellent, so I create my own. I mix 50% eucalyptus oil, 25% citronella, and 25% lemon grass. All flying insects hate it. It works really well and the smell is alot more pleasant than either of the latter two, alone. Also, I find after taking a shower, they rarely bother me for the next few hours, unless sweating alot.
