I don't know about the preservatives. But, I do know Thai beer ranks right up there with Serbian and Italian beer, as being some of the lowest quality beer on the planet.

This is the very definition of a nothing burger. Why does it mean so much to you, and why are you so focused on tiny details like this? Who cares? Not everything is about racism.

Message to the hopeless one. It will take alot more than some fancy, expensive clothes, likely bought with illl gotten money, to woo the youth. How about helping them, instead of locking them up for showing their extreme displeasure with your reign of nonsense and horrific leadership?

You know the judicial system is completely broken when a misfit like this keeps getting released, or does not get sentenced to begin with. Send him to Russia.

I hope he comes up with substantial confirmation of major corruption amongst active members of the ruling party. The nation needs that to be able to say the final goodbyes to Cha Cha, Prawit and Anutin. Total misfits.

This, coming from the man who has continued to do two or three straight to video disasters a year for quite some time, at as little as $200k a pop. No honor. And bad hair.

Oh please. Likely closer to 50 billion, when you consider the massive bribes and corruption at stake. There is no way he or Cha Cha are not buying votes. Otherwise they would end up with only a few thousand.

Exactly. It is money over health. Money over the well being of the masses. Money over change and progress. Ultimately, the choice to burn sugarcane comes down to money: leaving leaf trash attached to the canes means hauling more material to the processing plant. This requires more trips and more time in processing, which is expensive. Other green harvesting methods, like removing trash in the field, require additional equipment and attention, both of which cut into profits. https://foodprint.org/blog/sugarcane-burning/

It means progress. Burning crops is so 14th century. When it fouls the air to the extent it does here, something needs to be done. And soon.

Rething this: 1. Fix the dozen things that needed to be addressed long before covid, which was a grand opportunity to improve the country, and not just sit on your lazy bums. 2. Give rich tourists an incentive to come here and stay. Start with lowering luxury taxes, thereby making yourselves competitive. Then move on to the ridiculously high wine taxes. 3. Then offer tax incentives and property ownership. You goons talk about high end expats and tourists. But you do nothing to attract them. Have you ever heard of the concept of making sacrifices to achieve a goal? Or does your wealth and hubris prevent that?

All insurance companies are like the mafia. Any excuse to not pay. It is always about finding a clause or an excuse to not fulfill their obligations and behave in an ethical fashion. I have no trust in any of them and use them as little as possible.

The extensive burning of sugarcane also contributes to the increase of PM2.5 in the atmosphere in the cane-growing and other provinces, including Bangkok. Huh? Was that tongue in cheek, or was that a serious statement? It is likely the single largest contributing factor. It causes deaths, COPD, lung disease, and lowers the quality of life for all. And it would be an easy fix. If the goons were serious about the well being of the public, for once in their lives. There is a very simple solution to this problem. If the authorities were interested in solutions. The burning has to stop. There are alternatives, to this 19th century technique of burning after the sugar cane harvest. Either the government starts to encourage farmers to switch to more environmentally friendly crops, or they start to penalize farmers for burning. This heinous burning, is leading to a tremendous degree of environmental degradation, and alot of lung disease. So here is what I propose- 1. Fine the farmers 5,000 baht for a first offense, and give them a stern warning, that burning is now prohibited, and the second fine will be very harsh. 2. For a second offense, fine the farmer 100,000 baht, and warn them that if the burning continues, their land will be confiscated. 3. On the 3rd offense, confiscate their land. Period. No questions. No legal proceeding or appeals on the part of the farmers. Allow others to come in and purchase the land at a fair price, with the caveat that sugar is prohibited as a crop to be grown on that land. The news would travel faster than the toxic smoke, and farmers would change their ways overnight, and move into the 21st century.

He is hated. He is immensely unpopular. Don't think I have ever heard anyone say a good word about him. The only way he could extend his reign, would be to buy the votes of people completely lacking any vision or perspective.

Yes, I have been traveling to the US often in the past 2 years. A half dozen trips. Two or three weeks and the perspective always returns. Always glad to return to Thailand, despite its many issues. Better than the US, on so many levels.

Let's do the math. 30,000,000 x 3,000 per vote. 90 billion baht. And the people are made to forget 8 years of miserly and bungling.

Well, the same could certainly be said of a carnival huckster. We need youth and vigor. Not old age and same, same.

Please and thank you do not seem to be common here. Cultural?

I have a far better idea than dumping your unwanted baby. How about using a condom? Or refraining from having sex. Or not allowing your guy to finish inside? Some common sense?

This is some seriously good journalism, when they are throwing around this level of poetry. invading the duck's nest burying the ferret randy rogering brazen bridge bonking Excellent work, guys. Keep it up.

Is this a new trend where they are calling out the establishment by name? That is a very healthy thing for society. Any culture that hides behind cowardly defamation laws cannot move forward, and is destined to stagnate.

There is alot of room for a whistle-blower here. The extent of the likely corruption and rot under Anutin, Cha Cha and the toxic Thai army would likely boggle the mind. Exposing them can only be good for the nation. It requires alot of nerve, of which Chuwit does not seem to be lacking.

He simply should have known better. Hard to feel sympathy for someone who makes it a habit to say really ignorant things about people. How do you label an entire race a hate group? That is dumb and dumber. Cancel culture is overwhelming these days. I don't like it. I don't like PC either. But if one is in the public eye, there has to be an awareness that expressing ignorance has a potentially high price.

I tend to agree. Other than the horrific air quality issue, that the so called leaders utterly refuse to address. Bangkok is a great city. It has alot going for it. Though I live elsewhere in Thailand, I sure love visiting.

Sorry about the duplicate post. Was trying to fix the tendency for the site to highlight some of a post.

Give someone a bit of power, and there is a chance they might abuse it. Having said that, most in a position of power, tend to behave themselves. Except some American cops, some Thai cops, and some bouncers. He is the one who needs to be slapped around.
