  1. Posted 18 minutes ago Oh what a relief. They arrested him. Now I already feel safer on the roads...????

  3. Oh yes, some remain 'Cheap Charlies' wherever they go...
  4. "Why is it disturbing to you They probably Unless they are They could be.." So the answer might be somewhere in there....
  5. "stupid fuss over the oldest profession" But it is a fuss about money, associated with a nationality...
  6. The freedom of one ends where the freedom of the other begins.. Two very similar cultures meeting each other, where the freedom of others is not recognized. Good luck fixing that...
  7. In the past, there used to be good candidates to choose from as president. Strangely, it has recently been about choosing the lesser of two evils...
  8. And so he should. People who are addicted to any drug, should at least administer such drugs privately, in a way that is hidden from sight, and hidden from other people's knowledge. Be it heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, nicotine or meth, does not matter. They should keep their addictions private, and away from people's view, especially children.
  9. Shameful. Six high ranking police officers, for a case of trying to get people to 'willfully' buy goods, to boost someone's income. Lack of safety on the roads remains the same. Talking about trying to boost someone's income, my son on a one month holiday here last May, got stopped 6 times on one day, on a 20 km trip. He gathered that it was about trying to boost someone's income. He got stopped typically twice a day.... Shameful as it is.....
  10. The saddest thing is that these bags do not even look good. Surely the Chinese thief was stealing it for the content only....
  11. How about starting to use conventional intelligence to resolve this problem?
  12. Hopefully this could start a trend of complaining about all that is worth complaining about here in Thailand. The list is quite long actually. And certainly this complaint could not even make it in the top 10...
  13. Why reform only the military I wonder?

    an awful day

    Thanks. I really enjoyed reading it, as I like to write also, even though primarily in French. The ability to write must be kept alive..... Regards..
  15. Certainly that outside of Thailand, students are now quite busy learning about pronouns... Might take more than 4 years actually... Gender Neutral / Gender Inclusive Pronouns ; SHE, HER, HER, HERS, HERSELF ; HE, HIM, HIS, HIS, HIMSELF ; zie, zim, zir, zis, zieself. Just a few here as a starter....
  16. Okay, here it is one more time, as you seem to be unable to understand the crux of the matter. It does not matter why this fellow made the video. We do not care why. It is NOT what is important in this video. The essence in this whole matter is that a Thai man showed generosity to someone he thought was hungry. The Thai man showed generosity, and this is what people react positively to. Simply happy to be reminded in this video that Thai people can be generous, and that it makes people feel good to see signs of philanthropy. I hope I expressed it in so many different ways so that you can get to understand it....
  17. Well, times have changed. I cannot say that I like TikTok, but it is here to stay. Many people live from that, whether I like it or not. Many things that I do not like in this evolving world. I sometimes try to put a halt on some of these things, but lately I realized that I will die before I can get the world to go back to where it was some years ago. I was a Trekkie, so yes I am aging, and 'resistance is futile'. But I typically like your comments on this forum. (Might not be reciprocal hehe). Regards
  18. And don't expect everybody to dislike it just because you dislike it....
  19. I am not sure what your motivations are in expressing such an opinion. If some rich guy would do that to me, it would make me very happy. As I could use this additional money to keep on helping people here, in the Philippines, in Cambodia... I would be happy, just like this fruit vendor is happy, at receiving 2,000 bahts. And I do believe that many people would stand behind me hoping to be the recipient of the same generosity, many. So the problem you see is about the camera, not about the generosity, it is about the money that this individual might or will make by showing on video his generous gesture. I actually liked looking at this, happy to see that I am not the only one being generous in this world. And heartwarming to see a Thai man giving free food to someone who might be hungry. And the poor Thai people that I help just about every day, they are also happy to receive a bit of help. I never got accused of being condescending because of some help that I give. So is the motivation simply jealousy... Or else you believe that everyone should do the same as you to show generosity.
  20. "I realise ultimately I should get a more long term visa, but I don't want to use a scamming agent and don't want to break the bank in acquiring something." And I realize that your narrative is straight out of ignorance. Unless of course you know of a list of 'good Agents', and a list of "scamming agents". Many threads on this topic. But now I will not take the time to educate you on this subject. Research it on your own.
  21. Many people are just specialist in finding something bad in anything that they see.
  22. Well, the reckless driving turned out positive in this instance, and became the "the judge, jury, and executioner".
  23. Oh well, corruption here is a way of life. Seems like anyone who gets in a position to benefit from corruption or theft and fraud, will do it. Also seems like the culture here is devoid of checks and balances, that would quickly flag situations where much money is not accounted for... In a land where so many Mercedes Benz and BMW roam the streets. Where does all this money come from. Unpaid taxes. Of course, many Thais made lots of money from the increased land prices over the years. Should be taxed more. And in a land where all I hear are words suggesting politeness, hehe. 'Na khap', 'Na Kha'', after every few words. I got allergic to this useless words tagged to any speech. How about less fake politeness, and more protection of the people, protecting the money that is meant for education, and mostly, protecting people on the streets, providing 'safety', taking actions that would increase safety, not silly actions that are meant to extort money from the people, while doing nothing for the safety. When tourists are stopped and made to pay a fine for not wearing a helmet, I always think, 'how in this world is that supposed to make me feel safe from the maniac driving on these streets.'. LOS, land of selfishness....
