No. Rape is a control issue, not a hormone issue. You can cut a guy's "boyz" off, but he'll still be left with mental issues that leads him to re-offend.

Austerity is always placed at the feet of the commoners. But in this case it need not be. Most Thai businesses keep their A/C set at levels of coolest that are ludicrous. If you need to put a coat or sweater on inside - it is TOO cold. Immense amounts of energy could be saved simply by turning the A/C temperature to reasonable levels. I set mine between 28 to 30. Reasonably cool levels can be attained between 26 to 30 degrees. If you need a coat or sweater, turn the temperature to a higher setting. Banks and doctor's offices seem to be the worst offenders. But instead it will be: "Commoners! Don't use your air conditioners." In the meanwhile government offices will be still remain in the deep-freeze zones. You can see that a mile away.

Aren't those what happen between military coups? ????

And given Thai history, she be removed from office by way of a military coup in short order.

Bill disputes lead to multiple attacker beat-downs of tourists. Good to see Thailand is getting back to normal.

"Masking" is a sign of deference to authority. It will remain here in Thailand well after other countries have moved on and accepted Covid as another pathogen like a cold or the seasonal flu. Most countries are now dropping mandatory masking. But Thailand will not. You can tell how ingrained "masking" has become in Thai society as virtually all TV news anchors and TV show stars stay masked on TV. In other countries these public figures are not required to stay masked after they are vaccinated and especially if they are tested prior to entering the studio. But Thailand wants all of it's public figures "masked" as it sends a message to the common-folk. The message is no longer about public safety; it's about public deference to authority. And Thailand likes the common-folk to be deferential. So masking will remain and will be just one more serious negative for those contemplating a vacation to Thailand from a country where the 'emergency' degrees have been lifted and life has gotten back to normal. Well, unless those potential tourist think that masking up and touring under Covid restriction which are no longer in place in their own countries is considered - relaxing. "Mask-up And Welcome to New Normal Thailand where you can enjoy a non-alcoholic beverage while touring Buddhist temples as nightlife is still banned." Not gonna be a hit methinks. ????

And all this time since I arrived, Thai tradition meant alcohol, parties, and water fights.

They were hoping no one would notice.

Yeah, keep pounding lass, nope not quite done, just a little more pounding <jiggle jiggle jiggle> Ahhhh. I think I need one to take home too.

So the new trick isn't getting out of Thailand, but getting back in. Still isn't ready for visa runs.

I'd think that if you know that your actions could lead to death, then there is intent. But - lawyers and money-brokers will need to figure this out.

Why will hazing continue? Because when someone is killed, those who kill them are changed with simple 'assault' instead of murder or man-slaughter. A few wais and bows and all is good again. Until the next hazing victim is killed. Happens every year. And it will continue to happen ad-infinitum.

I know a number of people including family members who are triple vaccinated and have gotten Covid since Omicron showed up. Asked my son how he's doing and was told he had a cold and he wanted to get back to work.

I want them to keep it in place. Chiang Mai has been much nicer without the bustle of tourist now that so many of the business have be crushed. Now that the government has manage to kill small and medium businesses - let's just keep it this way for good. New business that are not tourism oriented will open.

I commend them for helping those in need of assistance without taking a side or becoming engaged is the Anti-Russian hatred that is sweeping most of the West. These are Russian citizens, they are not their government. Kudos to Thai authorities.

Salmon prices went into crazyland over the last couple of months. Fish oil would be cheaper. Salmon on occasion just because it tastes good.

Government steps to the forefront to destroy the last vestiges of Thai culture. I guess they need wealthy foreigners to come to Thailand for its high-priced malls now that cultural activities have been permanently shelved in the name of safety. Dress some mannequins in traditional Thai cloths and call it a win! Malls - Safe Cultural activities - Unsafe.

George Carlin summed it up: It's a big club, and you ain't in it!

Thailand has made considerable steps in developing cannabis as a new economic crop and generating more income for select, privileged, connected Thai people. It generates nothing but wishes and envy for the rest of the Thai commoners who can not participate.

All that just to come to Thailand? Wow. ????

No - but it wasn't from lack of trying.

That's what happens when governments and their "experts" convince their citizens that they are personally to blame when others get Covid. Not the flu or colds or dengue or TB. But now???? "Mum got Covid and it's your fault!!! <bang......> The fact that the Covid blame game is in the public consciousness at all is completely on the governments who were responsible for promoting that tosh. And now? Here's an example of what happens. Congratulations on your effective campaign of fear. To the daughter. RIP To the father and mother. I'm so sorry!

Thai Physics.

It's akin to drinking a beer.

Now if they could just grasp the same economic model for cannabis.
