    The 2nd picture in the original article describes the situation there better. There is nothing to add anymore. If the police doesn't punish them accordingly then better forget the law. 

    There is barely any law on Samui, Phangan and Dark Tao. The bar owner will be punished. The patrons will be asked for donations, according to what they can afford.

    Do you have a smartphone?

    Does it have a GPS receiver like most (all?) smart phones?

    Did you switch that GPS receiver off? And are you sure it is off?

    And how many apps do you have on that phone which use your location?

    All of that is a completely different story, than giving the government a free ride and a license to track your every move.
     

    No thanks.

    Wouldn't surprise me if the troops are being deployed with flame throwers and bulldozers to 'deter illegal loggers'. If they get there first, there's nothing left for the illegals....

    Under Bolsonaro quite the opposite is likely. They might deploy troops to protect the illegal loggers, and fight the locals, who are protesting the invasion of their lands, by greedy non visionaries.

  4. Truth is a choice. It is a conscious decison. So is deception, and deflection. The ability to take some responsiblity for problems you have created is the mark of a real man and his integrity. 
     

    People when commenting on the US, often say things like, if they ever got in a major conflict, they would destroy their enemy. I think not. The size of an armed force is only one consideration. If a nation can screw up it's response to Covid, like the US did, they could potentially lose a major war with North Korea or Iran, or even a lesser enemy. Disjointed, not unified, not organized and certainly not competent, would be a diplomatic way of describing modern day America. We look on with pity. Awe does not remotely come into the picture.

  5. And so much of this could have been avoided had he acted quickly and decisively, and demonstrated the courage he always talks about, but never has possessed. The Native American saying " it is far easier to be brave, from a distance", almost seems like it was written for Trump. 

     

    The world looks on with pity, despair and bewilderment, as the virus rages on in the US, and Trump gets his coveted #1 position. For all the wrong reasons. 

     

    Don Donald. Moving America backwards at an alarming pace. Making sure the US loses it's remaining long earned prestige.
