Well Thaksin would know all about corruption. He fled the country to evade justice after conviction on corruption charges.
He messed up big time with the rice-pledging scheme. But let's remember he was the first democratically elected prime minister of Thailand to serve a full term and was re-elected in 2005 by an overwhelming majority.
He was good for business and the economy, whatever his foibles.
I doubt the massive scale of corruption of the present (and unelected) junta "government" of this country will ever come to light. They are holding a gun to the head of the media, and silencing dissent by any means necessary.

I enjoy visiting the UK at least once per year. Wouldn't want to live there full time though. House prices (and rents) are crazy there now, unless you just rocked up on a beach in a dinghy. ????
I live in what I think is a nice part of Thailand. I can go anywhere else I want to in-country, for a very cheap price. Still work here, and mostly enjoying it especially as retirement is on the horizon. No complaints really.

It's just another 'divide and rule' tactic employed by our "elites" to further atomize society.
The technology and methods used have obviously improved a lot since Roman times, but its still the same tactic.

Nobody mentioned the work "Triad" here yet?
The BP version of this story yesterday states that the heads of the 5 major Chinese Triad gangs have only just been declared persona non grata here. Wonder how long they've been operating beforehand.?

We know more now than at any time in human history yet: ( assume everything listed is my opinion )
children are consumed by social media and fads
humans are more unhealthy ( rampant obesity )
sport is more observed than participated in
wars continue unabated- the UN is useless
greed is the primary motivation
overpopulation is destroying the environment
bad drugs are causing havoc ( alcohol, tobacco, cocaine etc )
the forces of law and order are losing the battle
education for many is a bad joke
bad manners are endemic
crime is out of control.
killing unborn children is seen as a right and no longer as a last resort for unviable foetuses, maternal health, rape and incest.
children are raised by strangers more than by a parent.
Things that used to be affordable for most are no longer:
accomodation- when people have to live in cars, society is shameful
health care
dentistry
That is the vision of chaos and decay broadcasted 24/7 by our beloved mainstream media, anyway.
It's calculated to create anxiety and despair among the general population. "Ordo Ab Chao" or 'order from chaos' is how we are divided and ruled using this technique. Create the problem, then the solution.

decided not to renew the license of the Child Protection Foundation, after its secretary-general was charged with assault and illegal use of child labour.
Hate to sound cynical, but maybe those charges are the reason this "foundation" was started in the first place?

It would be better to ask the person as to why they giggled , how would you expect other people to know why a certain person giggled about something ?
Could have been just a titter. Or even a minor chortle.

Pitbulls bred for prey drive and aggression. Its ok discuss ‘breeding’ and ‘purpose’ when discussing other breeds, so why is it not OK to discuss breeding with Pitbulls ???
Does the Pit Bull community think their breed should be treated like every other large breed when the breed is not the same ?
Just like a Jack Russel is not a spaniel and is more likely to bite, a Pitbull is not like a golden retriever, its more like a Jack Russel on steroids
Yes, agree. Pitbulls are indeed marketed here in Thailand (on FB and other outlets) on their strength and aggression, to a certain 'proxy-toughguy' mentality buyer base.

^Yep, seems to be a more 'upcountry' phenomenon with the noise pollution thing.
Living in a busy area of Rayong, it's at least quiet of a night time and I usually get a decent night's sleep before work in the morning, same as most of the neighbours, I guess.
If you live upcountry, I doubt there is much you can do to prevent noise. Even industrial ear-plugs don't muffle the bass 'kick' from those huge speakers. Maybe get in some power-naps or "siestas" like the locals during day time?

QuoteCommerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit came out to say that a survey of price of food and other necessities found that prices of food such as pork, rice, paddy, chicken and others have all seen a decline.
The political art of pishing down the peasant's backs, and glibly informing them that it's raining. ????

11 minutes ago, daveAustin said:One of the downsides of living here is the local beer imo. Let other Thai brewers get in on the act and it could be so much better. Beer Laos trounces all the above, from a very poor nation.
Beer Laos holds up well against competition from a lot further afield than LOS, imo.
But you are correct, it puts it's supposedly wealthier Southern neighbor to shame with the meagre selection of cartel-operated, junkies-pish fayre produced here.

Lotus's's's's' do a Penfold's (Koonunga Hill) Shiraz for less than 700 Baht. It's the only time I bother shopping there, tbh.
A local mom 'n pop shop has started selling a range of wines. Usually a bit hit 'n miss obviously for any wine under 500-, but the missus struck lucky with a bottle of dry red named "Knight Black Horse" which was actually very good for a paltry 290 Baht. Certainly avoided it's normal fate as a boeuf bourguignon ingredient, anyway. ????

Are the recent hold-ups and long queues in any way due to increased security for the APEC meetings?

Yep, the whole Koh Chang experience is being destroyed by Bangkokians who drive for a one night trip, just to take a couple of selfies on white sand beach and/or inaugurate their red plates. While this could easily fixed if people weren't allowed to take their cars to the island for shorter stays.
The queues are always bad at "long weekend" national holidays, and actual weekends starting on Fridays.
I've never had any problems when avoiding these time frames.

Last 20 years? -Personally speaking, I grew up a bit, got married, finally became a father in my 40's. Still working at the company I started here, nearly 30 years ago. Drink a lot less than I used to do, and exercise a lot more.
I go back to the UK at least once a year to visit family and friends, and see a lot of change. Mostly not for the better, imo.
Still, it does give me a better perspective of life here in Thailand, and reduces any mountains back into molehills on an annual basis.
Have you ever witnessed that a farang was beaten up by Thais without any reason?

Only once in 30 years. A drunk kid in a local 7/11 late one night took a shine to me for some reason. Two of the girls working there ended up beating the snot out of him. ???? Result.
