It is a misunderstanding... it is called soft power to attrack tourists...Scamming in Thailand?? No Thais don't do things like that.. Honest and reliable...

The poor taxii driver just made a mistake....he thought to ass soft power to 'attack' tourists.. 

What the heck is the Soft Power?  

I also though they were trying to tempt tourists to come with a free  covid booster shot. 

I though it was just me. 

On my phone I have to open each link in a new tab. 

On my PC it works fine though.

seems the warranties have expired on these things.....

Yes.....but the stairs would probably be collapsing instead haha. 

What that?

Surprised her mum never asked where she got all that money, and never wondered why she was high all the time.

Good parenting.

they didn't prosecute him they found he did nothing wrong. If it was you you'd still want people to talk and post as if guilty?

Do you think the rich guy with connections didn't just pay someone off for the problem to go away? 

Ah yes... foreigners...

Define the line.

 

if it’s the point at which liberals get offended then who cares?

 

half of America is quite happy to dive across that line head first. 
 

my mom is a democrat and even she is getting pissed at the limitations on free speech from the wokes

So your mother would also be happy to hear political leaders and people in the public eye set up programmes to convince people that  women should have the right to vote removed, and black people should not be allowed on buses......and Jews should be deported.....as its 'free speach'?

You (and people like you) think opening a factory and giving impoverished people jobs is exploiting them as well, yes? 

 

Go to a third world country and hand out someone else's money to make the people dependent and you're a hero. 

 

Go to a third world country and spend your own money to build a factory and teach people skills that make them independent and you're exploiting them. 

 

What are you going on aboht haha?

It doesn't really compare.

 

If your daughter was from a very poor country with little social welfare, she didn't have a bright future, maybe had a kid already or had worked in prostitution and no one from her own country would marry her, and by being with the much older foreign guy she would have a much better future, then it might compare a little better.

 

People might be OK with it.

That seems like exploitation of young girls becasue they are poor. 

Put up an electric fence....not difficult. 

Don't wait for government help...

There are lots of wildlife charities and elecphat Conservation groups that could raise the money to installs livestock electric fencing. 

How aboht the farmers get a bit more proactive and take responsibility for their crops?  They could even start up a go fund me page for donations to help them and keep people and elephants safe. 

Op if you can't trust her, feel the need to check up and spy on her, and are getting stressed up about the relationship.......then you know its time to end it. It's not working. 

Kick her to the curb and get on with enjoying you life. 

This can't be good for the environment. 

More huge plastic bags with toxic chemicals soup and human remains inside. 

How to they dispose of them?. 

They try to say cremation is bad as it makes harmful ennisions, but this new way will be worse. How do they think the water gets hot...magic? 

Best way is to chop up the body and feed to the seagulls.

Sooooo much easier said than done.  There's this little catch-22.  A country can not deport an individual unless they know that persons true country of origin and in addition to that, that country must agree to accept the deported individual.   Most of the Africans around Sukhumvit have either questionable or no documentation.  They know the rules.  When asked where they are from, they say one place one day, another place another. 

There is no known test to determine where a person is actually from.  The country you may want to deport them to really isn't to anxious to have them back, thus they can and usually do demand positive proof of that persons origin.   

Sure, Thailand can arrest them and toss them in IDC indefinitely but IDC is already packed beyond capacity and new prisons cost a lot of money to build and staff along with the expense of feeding and caring for them. 

The last statistics I saw, there were more than 300 Nigerians incarcerated in Thai prisons already.   When Thailand did a big oil purchase with Nigeria about  8 years ago,  part of the deal was that Nigeria would send aircraft to pick-up and repatriate 300 or so prisoners at that time.  They made a similar deal with Iran.

Europe has the same problem.  Most European nations are overrun with illegals but what the hell do you do with them?  You cant jail them all.

Make them fight lions and bears like the Romans did.  Would being in a lot of money and good entertainment... bet they would stop arriving in such numbers then. 

I've just looked up the 'Thai Elephant Conservation Centre (TECC) in Lampang' on You Tube. 

It's just the usual elephant rides, forcing elephants to do shows for tourists, and being kept in chains. 

Poor elephant. These places need to be closed down. It's just animal cruelty. It's not about elpahant  Conservation.
