It is going to be pretty easy to figure out who this nitwit is, since more than likely he is known to the passenger, who may have been his mother or his sister. What can one even say? I do not think fleeing from the scene a crime, is a crime in itself here. So, people do it all the time. This is the price a nation pays, for stubbornly, and willfully maintaining a lack of deterrents.
A some point, an administration possessing wisdom, intelligence, foresight, and compassion, will start taking traffic safety seriously. Instead of yakking constantly, they will take action, which is what real men do. Until then, the nation will continue to suffer.

When you are sitting in the tower of your ivory castle, looking down on your subjects, with hundreds of millions of baht in the bank, it is quite easy to say that the floods are not going to be a problem this year. The lack of empathy, compassion, regard, respect, and concern, that most members of this administration have for the common man is always astounding to me.

And I bought a t-shirt that says "free Jorge Ochoa" last time I was in Vegas. It is one of those shirts I like to wear once in a while, just to get a reaction. I am against the war on drugs. However, Ochoa is guilty of mass murder, so hard to condone that. Ignorance is always out there. There are always going to be deniers, and people who think raping women, and seducing women with fear, intimidation and your power is fine. A man in Weinstein's position could have gotten plenty of action, based on his position and his wealth. But no, he had to force women who were not interested in his ugly, fat body and face. That is pathological.
I can laugh at myself when I wear the shirt. Hopefully, this guy can too!

Earlier in time, this man had some credibility. Some even took him seriously, as a lone crusader against corruption and bad deeds. No more. The little bit of credibility he may have once had has been thrown out the window. He has been revealed to be a phony, a fraud, a liar, and a stooge, for an administration that is so desperate to maintain tourist arrivals, they will say or do just about anything. This guy is now an international joke. A scam artist.
Millions know what goes on on Dark Tao. And now millions know what a lightweight big joke is. Rather than admitting there could be a problem within their midst, they attempt to demonize the victim. What can one even say? Authoritarianism at best, and hooliganism at worst. Regardless, it is utterly shameful behavior. This administration is in desperate need of a very high priced PR agency. They shoot themselves in the foot daily with their inane statements, bizarre proclamations, dumb crackdowns, and ineffective governance. Now, add to the list of misdeeds, an attack against a victim of crime within the nation. Real men take responsibility, perform the actions required, and do what they need to do to fix a problem. Children, and wannabe fascists pretend the problem does not exist, deflect, obfuscate, and make up stories about fake news, and go after publishers of that news, and victims.
This man has no interest in fighting crime. He is merely an instrument, in the ongoing effort to appear to make this administration look concerned, and effective. They continue to be just the opposite, by displaying a contempt for the rule of law, a gross degree of incompetence, and total disregard for the common man.

There is a noxious scent of sulphur, fear and guilt emanating from the White House at the moment, and the "very stable genius" appears to be incredibly unstable, and unhinged. He was already clinically insane. Now?
Though he constantly brags about his tough he is, we all know that he is showing signs of being alot weaker than we hoped he was. He is coming unglued. He is having a very hard time dealing with the indictments, the betrayals, and the exodus of talent. And it does not help his cause that he has surrounded himself with such an astonishing lack of talent and brains, and alot of sycophantic fools.
We have a game show host, who got five deferments, when it was time to serve his nation, who has the most lawsuits ever, against any person in the history of mankind (3,600 at the time he entered office), who has crippled thousand of families of small contractors, and bankrupted five major companies, all in the name of amassing as much cash as he could get his very greedy, very small hands on. And this is the same guy who talks so widely, and so loudly about patriotism. Yet, when he met Putin in Helsinki, he threw the entire intelligence community (nearly 30 agencies employing over 1,000,000 highly qualified people) of his nation under the bus, in order to score a few sycophantic brownie points with his blackmailer friend.
And we wonder why the country is in the state it is in? He has no principals, nor any vision. He is perhaps the most dangerous man on the planet right now as it appears he is trying to lower the quality of life, for everyone on earth, and his policies are making both America and the world less great, and more dangerous. Of course McCain is right about undermining American values. Tiny Don has no values. None whatsoever. He is completely amoral. Completely lacking in ethics of any sort.
Thankfully, he will not remain in office for more than 12 more months. Resignation, impeachment, or prison, are in his future, and many of us will be very, very thankful for that.
Tiny DT. The art of moving America backwards, and lowering the quality of life for the average American.
The art of I cannot make a deal to save my life.
The art of losing talent in droves, and replacing them with sycophantic fools, devoid of talent or experience.
The art of attempting to lead a nation, while being infected with the thinnest skin of a world leader, in history.
The art of not having a diplomatic bone in his body, and destroying long held alliances, with hate, hubris and a horrible lack of intelligence, vision and talent.

Good advice from the in laws. I have noticed that most Thai people seem to be very responsive to how foreigners act around them. When you make eye contact, and smile, many respond very favorably. The smaller the city you are in, the more this seems to apply, but even in Bangkok, there are alot of people willing to exchange a smile. When in LA, I try my like hell to get someone to smile at me. It is so rare to get a smile from a stranger there. Here, all the time.
Also, when you do not necessarily feel like smiling, and you do anyway, it creates positive energy that can lead to good feelings. Worth a try?

With the greatest respect, the USA counts for less than 5% of the global population and has contributed precious little to the global culture.
We don't need you or particularly want you. Much of your wealth originates from natural resources and slavery anyway. Your social structures are the envy of nobody.
Now, play nicely with the other 197 countries or b****r off. Too loud and too much trouble
No Big Macs, Harley's, or Starbucks would be a benefit.
I do hope China looks at rare earths!
I understand your anger. The US has been making alot of problems for the world, for some time now, and that has only accelerated in the past 18 months, with agent orange. Are you say Brittany Spears was not a major contribution? Reality TV? LOL.
I think the movie studios used to have some pretty good product, but in the current days of blockbuster action films, and sequels, Hollywood is no longer contributing much. There is still some good independent film in the US. I would argue that the TV shows that are being produced in the US now are some of the best in the world. The golden age of TV is one area where the US is offering something of value. There are an astonishing number of amazing TV series, right now, and for the past several years.
As far as the statement about where most of the wealth of the US derives from, one cannot even begin to respond to such uninformed ignorance. Silicon Valley? Wall Street? The design industry? The music industry? High fidelity. High tech. Science research. Defense contractors. Hello? Is anyone there? Do I detect the presence of an empty suit?

If that happened in the US, she would be facing major charges, and would more than likely end up with $50,000 to $100,000 in legal bills, seizure of her car, revocation of her license, and either a massive fine, or more likely jail time. That is a serious offense, mowing down cops at a check point. Talk about plenty of witnesses to the crime. She should be locked up for at least five years, have her car taken away, and face a huge fine, in addition to reparations to those she injured.
What a moron. What can one even say?

If you never go in anywhere, how do you learn where to go?That is a bizarre statement. Bizarre to the point where one does not even know where to do with it. He was making a point about clip joints, of which there are thousands here. The answer if, you never, ever go into a karaoke place without knowing the spot, or being accompanied by a Thai who knows the spot. Otherwise, you are just asking to be ripped off.

I agree with almost every word you said. The real problem though is this is the type of person who has risen to the pinnacle of both business and politics. Who are we when the people at the top of every field behave like this? Aren't we essentially saying, "this is how you need to be if you want to be ultr successful". There are no answers, but I think one day in the distant future the entire ethos on how we handle everything needs to change.
I agree with some of what you say. I think most billionaires are ruthless, and probably cheats. But not all. And some are worse than others. Trump is downright pathological. And when you consider that he is more than likely the most criminal, ruthless, crooked, and thieving of them all, yet possesses relatively modest wealth by billionaire standards (Forbes has him listed at $3 billion, the US govt. says slightly over a billion, with $680,000,000 in debt), he is a failure at business.

I would ask the driver to slow down one time. If he did not, I would take him up on his offer, of getting off, regardless of where we were. I would rather walk to another spot where I could catch another one, than die with this maniac. And I would definitely report the super freak driver. The government has been cracking down on mini vans, and compelling many of them to install those beepers, that go off, when they go above 95kph. He would be penalized, if not lose his job altogether, for this.

The highway is already in place, between Thailand and Myanmar, if what they are referring to is the Don Singkhon crossing. The Burmese have been dragging their feet on this for years. One suspects there are valuable mineral, timber, and mining interests that the military in Burma are making a fortune on, that they do not want disturbed. At this point, this has nothing to do with Thailand. The Thai side wants it done, and has done their work. There is an excellent road linking the crossing, to the main north/south highway in place.

The poorly attended inauguration is now being scrutinized, and guilt, lies, cheating, and obfuscation are even being found there. No matter where they look, they seem to find guilt and lies. Tiny Don is going down in flames. He will either be impeached, or resign in utter disgrace, and then watch what is left of his criminal business empire crumble like an old, soggy cake, that has seen too many storms. His name will forever be radioactive, and his once proud empire will be reduced to rubble. All good. Simply getting what he has worked so hard to earn. Humble pie all over the face of the Mango Mussolini.

I very much doubt that Canada will back down and kiss his fat axx. I am not a Trudeau fan by any means but I expect he will tell tRump to hit the road. And I expect tRump will eat humble pie in the end.
By cutting a deal with Mexico and then giving Canada the "opportunity to sign on", he is going to be taught a lesson that Divide and Conquer does not always work.
It is unknown for sure if he has the power to tear up NAFTA as there is a question as to whether or not that would require congressional approval. Congress will prove to be a little more level headed when it comes to damaging the relationship with Americas largest trading partner, especially when his future is in doubt anyway.
And that is the reason why smart Canadians are boycotting alot of American products. In this day and age, globalization is the way of the future. Insularity, wall building, breaking treaties, and alienating our closest allies is the way of bullies, idiots, ignoramuses, and a true deplorable. Trump is completely incompetent when it comes to foreign policy, and cannot negotiate his way out of a paper bag.

The senile clown is talking nonsense again. Nobody ever takes him seriously anymore on the world stage.
the usa is no longer the model for a good and functioning society. Violence, gun laws, mass murders, drugs, slums, absolute injustice regarding the distribution of wealth in society, inadequate social and health systems, obese, unhealthy food, GM monocultures, idiotic tv series, good education only for the rich, huge public debts, bad loans and a credit card overindebted population, etc.
Which of these intern us problems is the orange clown trying to solve?
Zero.
And foreign policy?
Climate protocol, environmental protection, species protection, marine pollution, microplastic, resource conservation, alternative energy, WTO, NATO, UN, EU, world peace and cooperation?
Zero again.
45 is the stupidest president the us has ever had.
I totally agree. As an American I can say the influence, prestige, power and moral authority of the US, is diminishing by the day. Tiny Don. Making America less great, and ending American empire in one term. Tiny Don. I cannot negotiate my way out of a paper bag. Tiny Don. Demonstrating the hazards of operating with an IQ of Thailand room temperature.

Who are you ?
I am a man who has worked hard my whole life, enjoyed some success, and a great reputation as a businessman. I treat people I do business with, with a great deal of honor and respect. I do not attempt to steal their money. I honor my contracts and commitments. Something little donny knows nothing about. Fairly easy to make a fortune, if you are willing to do it Al Capone style. I am not willing to do that. I sleep well at night, and my self esteem remains intact, unlike the charlatan. He had 3,600 lawsuits he was involved in at the time of assuming the presidency. Just ponder for a moment, the level of crime, dishonesty, scams, theft, and nonsense a man has to engage in, to have that many people sue him.
You applaud him for being a divider. I admonish him for being a man who breaks alliances, treats allies with disdain, and coddles dictators. Sorry, I have no respect for the man child, whatsoever.
He is totally indefensible. Do not even try.

Way, way off the mark. I have a friend who ran the leading HIV foundation in Thailand for a decade or more. She was allied with many NGO's and knew all the details. She said 300,000 women involved in prostitution was the correct figure. Now, if you add in all of the freelancing that goes on, I am sure that figure rises. But 2 million is ridiculously high, alarmist, not based on anything resembling a scientific survey, and probably a number pulled out of Little P's butt.
Make prostitution legal. All keeping it illegal does, is to allow the police and the army an additional source of income, and add to the stress level of sex workers here. It accomplishes nothing else. There is a zero deterrent factor.

Most Thais definitely do not place the emphasis on a kitchen, like we do in the West. Most kitchens here are very basic, unless you get into the properties that are 5 million baht and up. Just additional proof that Thailand is NOT a foreign country. It is a distant planet. And that is a good thing!

Lock him up. Lock up our corrupt president before he does more damage to the nation. He is a great liability. Not making America great again! Lock him up.
And now the nitwit is tweeting about the wall again. Not only is Mexico never going to pay for that wall, they will not even contribute a thousands packages of tortillas towards it. The American people will end up paying over $40,000,000,000 for it. Probably closer to $60 billion. If there is anything we have learned in the past 18 months, it is that you cannot believe anything the charlatan says. So, if he says $12 billion, just add 300% to that number, and you start approaching truth.
Truth? What is that? Truth is not truth, as ridiculous ranting rudy likes to say.

I think for most of us, who possess rational minds, and are relatively objective one thing is increasingly clear. This man is certifiably insane. He just does not possess a rational mind. He is incapable of behaving like an adult. His ego guides everything, from the most minor detail, to the major decisions and policies of this administration. He is a very dangerous man. The pressure of office, and the investigations, are making him increasingly unhinged. He is the very definition of an unstable non genius. Just the fact that he gave himself a grade of A+ tells us everything we need to know. Who does that?
His backtracking is due to the fact that he has been advised that some of his statements may be incriminating. And they are. He is guilty as sin. Guilty of collusion, no doubt. But also guilty of countless felonies, throughout the course of his career, which the special investigator has the purview to investigate. Had this moron just stayed in his position as a property developer, he might have been able to continue fleecing families of their life fortunes, by not honoring his commitment, thereby resulting in 3,600 lawsuits, which is no doubt the most lawsuits any man has ever been involved in, in human history. He stole like a pathological madman, and most of his fortune was made by crippling others, financially. I think he got pleasure and glee from watching honest, hard working, earnest people go down in flames. That is who this man is.

That is a very typical move on the part of Tiny Don. Tells you who he truly is. A thin skinned man, with a severe lack of emotional development, lacking a sound and rational mind, and unable to maintain our long held alliances, treaties, agreement, and promises. He is a petty liar, and walking away from a promise means nothing to him, since he possesses no sense of morality, decency, or ethics. He is a terribly broken man. He cannot handle criticism.
And he is going down. Just wait. His problems are only just beginning. And it is his own doing. Had he stayed where he was, as a property developer, he would have probably been able to live out his life enjoying his ill gotten fortune, and would continue to be able to cripple family businesses, by engaging in his deceitful and criminal practices, without the scrutiny, and continue to grow his fortune on the backs of others.

When you have a ministry called the ministry of sports and tourism, that is as far as you need to go, in determining the root cause of this problem. With tourism maintaining such an important and dominant position within the Thai economy, how do they justify handling the nations sports, within that same fabulously incompetent ministry? Who is making this stuff up? Why such a staggering lack of vision, and why such indifference to sport, on a leadership level? There is plenty of sport talent here in Thailand, when it comes to gold, tennis, boxing, volleyball, and many other world sports. But, it is being mismanaged, no doubt the athletes are not getting the kind of support, training, and leadership they need.
The culprit is Weerasak Kowsurat. And his background? He has some experience as tourism minister, having done that before. But sports? Here is his recipe for improving tourism-
One promising segment that is emerging is Buddhist tourism. This niche market not only draws newcomers from international markets to the kingdom, but it also boosts travel to the wider ASEAN region. To tap this opportunity, I plan to develop connecting routes for those who are interested in Buddhist philosophy as well as faith-based visitors taking part in pilgrimages. This will include people who are interested in meditation, as well as those visitors who are keen to learn more about the cultural and historical aspects of Buddhism, such as its art, shrines, architecture and way of life. The government is also launching several other projects to improve tourism services and safety, such as improving roads to attractions, training sector personnel, and building more ramps for elderly and disabled visitors. This will also be in line with our “Tourism for All” concept aimed at promoting universal design at key attractions to ensure equal access.
