  1. Was the meeting really that important? It is just politics. And how does that justify anything? Charge him as you would anyone. Sounds like manslaughter to me. Or an accomplice to manslaughter. Lock him up. This world needs one fewer MP.
  2. It is like saying the GDP of Burkina Faso is growing quickly. Of course numbers are up. Easy to rise up from zero. It is the quality of tourist and the real numbers that matter. Let us wait and see. I hope it improves, for the local Thais.
  3. It has always been a huge income source for them. Have had friends who purchase weed from police captains for years. Where does their weed come from? Confiscated weed is rarely destroyed here. It is capitalized upon.
  4. So much could be said about this. For me, it is all about attitude. And proper gratitude. It comes and goes, for me. Positivity is a quality that has to be nurtured and cultivated. It is NOT the natural state of the human mind. This is why so few have that magic. You have to dig deep for it, and it takes effort to maintain the perspective to keep it. It is a gift and a huge blessing. And one people want to be around. It is a key to success, fulfillment, longevity, and daily contentment. It is definitely not about money. Money helps. But, it can also hinder. It is only a tool.
  5. I am grateful too, to live in Thailand. Positivity is a quality that has to be nurtured and cultivated. It is NOT the natural state of the human mind. This is why so few have that magic. You have to dig deep for it, and it takes effort to maintain the perspective to keep it. It is a gift and a huge blessing. And one people want to be around. It is a key to success, fulfillment, longevity, and daily contentment.
  6. Does TAT have the ability and acumen to see what is happening and to try o reverse the trend? Absolutely not. They are unteachable. They do not have a creative bone in their bodies. They have learned nothing from covid. Woe is Thailand with brain dead leadership.
  7. Why am I sceptical? I was predicting alot of back flipping, due to pressure from the RTP franchisees, and their enormous loss of revenue. Is it possible it is now just beginning?
  8. Do they know something about a real recovery the rest of us don't? Bangkok is a greet city. But, I am not sure I would have the confidence to buy a hotel here, at this time. Maybe at 60% off?
  9. If you will be on the roads anytime after 6am, all bets are off. Bangkok traffic continues to be some of the worst. You just never know. If it were me, I would come the might before, and stay at an inexpensive place nearby. Or take the train.
  10. We just don't care what you have to say. Not one iota. You are desperately attempting to keep yourself relevant, but you are not.
  11. 1. If they are using Instagram as a source, all information should be discredited. Most Instagram users are under 15. I got this from a Meta representative. They own Instagram. 2. If Venice Beach is voted as number one, the survey should be immediately disqualified as nonsense. You want serious beaches? Dreamland Beach, Bali. ... Menjangan Island, Bali Gili Islands, Lombok Raja Ampat, West Papua Busuanga Island, Philippines Seagrass Bay, Laucala Island, Fiji Ypao Beach, Tumon Guam Honopu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii Maipio Valley Beach, Big Island, Hawaii Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. ... Harbour Island, Bahamas. ... Blue Beach (La Chiva), Vieques, Puerto Rico. ... Trunk Bay, St. John, USVI. Devil’s Bay, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos Lindquist Beach, St. Thomas Palm Beach, Aruba San Blas, Panama Oludeniz, Turkey Porto Katsiki, Lefkada, Greece
  12. Not sure how much this will really contribute to tourism it it can't hurt. Is it possible that after 8 interminably long years, this goon has finally gotten something right?
  13. Have these goofballs ever compared ganga to alcohol? Such an over reaction by such grossly uninformed souls.
  14. Such fear. Why such fear? Where does belief and discipline come into the picture? Hashish has been used for ages in many Muslim countries. I do not think these guys even have a clue as to how out of step they are with 2022. Sorry, but we all want to move forward. Get with the program.
  15. This is not a real debate at all. What they should be debating is the horrible consequences of drunk during and domestic abuse from drunkenness. That is the real issue. How many people end up wiped out on the road from being a bit too high? Not many. How many people who are high cause horrific accidents? Not many.
  16. Some drink to relax. Some drink to have a little fun. Some cannot stop once they start drinking. Some drink all the way into oblivion.
  17. And on the highways? The black belchers there don't count? Is it too much work?
  18. After 8 long years of doing nothing, they are nabbing a few here and there prior to the elections. Most of us know better and see right through this charade.
  19. This plague of drunk driving could be fixed. Immediate and permanent confiscation of the vehicle when death is involved. A 10 year mandatory prison sentence. Permanent revocation of the drivers license. Killing someone while drunk is a very serious offense. When will they start behaving as such? Then they can move onto the root causes of drunkenness. Extreme dissatisfaction with one's life? Childhood trauma and pain that never got worked out? Or even looked at? An extreme lack of self respect?
  20. This is symptomatic of just how decimated the Thai economy is at this time. Few want to admit it.
  21. I do think we will see alot of anarchy in the years to come. It might be directed towards government. But, it might be directed towards top executives of banks, insurance companies, Big Pharma and Wall street too. Few will weep.
  22. You really think there is a public record of profits from corruption in Thailand, at the highest levels? Are you being sincere about this?
