That explains a lot. -
What would it actually take to elevate Thailand?

You've lived in Isaan for a year, you say. How much have you traveled? How many places have you visited in Isaan? It seems to me you are either basing your comments on one small area or you've saved your thoughts from 40 years ago and only now decided to post. It would also be interesting to know how you garnered your information. Did you speak to the locals, police, doctors, politicians? Or did you see one or two people up to no good and assume they're all at it? -
You haven't been looking hard enough. If you want an excellent builder, plumber, mechanic, electrician or painter, let me know.

Try reading past the word " countryside" in my original comment, and comment on that bit too. I fully understand the context.
-
Like I said, read my whole comment. You've only commented on half of it. I'm not sure why you'd suggest there being an arguement. There isn't one. Certainly not when you only acknowledge half of my comment.

Why not take a second to read the whole of my comment.

You obviously live in one of the concrete jungles and have not been out of it to appreciate the vast countryside and the many leafy villages around.

The lack of helmets, and a general dislike of tans

That would be your opinion. Personally, I wouldn't place the whole female population in one group. Women in general look better with their natural look. Any chemical or surgical cosmetic interference just spoils their looks. -
In film roles of course there are those that are best suited. A white woman for Snow White, a male as James Bond, a male as Batman, a female as Wonder Woman, a female as Cat woman. There are occasions when the title tole name and the history and culture of such leads to a specific profile. It's not racist to cast a white woman as Snow White. It's not sexist to cast as male as Batman. It's not sexist to cast a woman as Wonder Woman.

I agree. The reason for my comment is that it's often said "over a million immigrants here on benefits". That's wrong. Very wrong. The million legal immigrants can't claim benefits.

People need to understand the fundamental difference between legal immigrants, many working and paying tax and without whom healthcare and social care would be seriously understaffed (just one example of and industry dependent on immigration), and illegal immigrants who cost money.

It goes without saying.

By definition, they are not. That's wrong, I agree, but they are not illegal if they are deemed to have grounds for asylum. Regardless of their travels. Unfortunately, the British government are tied by international law. The Rwanda scheme seemed to stem arrivals. Sadly, the new government scrapped the scheme before putting a new one in place.

You said "18yr is of legal age to obtain a licence to ride a scooter." That's incorrect. I corrected you. -

Do share. Without sharing, evidence isn't worth a to$$. -

Boredom in Isaan? It's a very large area. You must have traveled extensively to be able to make such a comment. Or, you spent a couple of days somewhere, you didn't like it and think everyone living in Isaan share your opinions.
