Paint a very negative picture of Thailand ?

There currently seems to be a fairly long queue for that on ThaiGeezer.

I looked at the video for a minute or so, but it's all tedious repetition, some people just lack common sense it seems.

Sounds like he's got a better result than two Australians convicted for drugs in Bali. The piece of excrement that runs Indonesia allowed them to spend ten years of misery in prison, then had them both machine-gunned to death

That's the law in Indonesia, and these guys were serious drug dealers. As for "allowed them to spend ten years of misery in prison", they're the ones who sought to appeal the verdict. They were executed after the appeal process was exhausted.

I preferred the old ones

Not a chance. You might have preferred the colour, or the lack of the reference to the European Union, but no frequent traveller liked that awful cardboard monstrosity that wouldn't fit in your pocket.

And it was black, I have a couple of the damn things gathering dust.

As for the reversion back from burgundy to black, who really gives a toss, the only benefit is the new black jumbo will have 54 pages rather than the current 48.

And I thought gambling was illegal! 

Gambling in Thailand is illegal unless it isn't!

Thailand divides gambling activities into two lists, List A is illegal unless authorises otherwise by royal decree, List B is illegal unless a licence is granted by a commissioned police officer with the rank of inspector or higher.

Bull fighting is on List B.

This has always been a requirement. I vaguely recall seeing a signage related to this at Don Muang - when Suvarnabhumi didn't even exist.

 

This is 1000% not a new thing.

That's my recollection too. 

I usually put it in my passport with the arrivals card.

Plenty of proof out there , one just needs the ability to read ????

It's up to you to convince me, I'm happy that these events are above board, I've no reason to try dig around for unbiased evidence to the contrary.

So these are the good Buddhists. Learned nothing from Dharma. Isn't this animal cruelty ? Isn't this about betting? Where are the authorities ?  As per usual.  

Are Buddhists not allowed a bit of hypocrisy too. As for animal cruelty, this is just what two bulls do naturally, it's much the same as you might see males of any species do.  As for the betting at these events it's my understanding that it's licenced and legal.

You have any proof to support it? I did not think so

I take it you have not either. Or did you think it was any different to chicken or dog fights or greyhound racing . All on up and up????

I have actually, to a cock fight too, but not dogs. Cock fighting I don't like, but the bullfights are very different. You ought to go if you ever come down south.

Greyhound racing is a great night out, I used to go to the dog track in Wimbledon many, many years ago.
