https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenThe Thai government is to this day very compromised (as evidenced by current PM Anutin, the unforgettable Covid Jabber Psycho Minister of Health). Fink (and countless others) were forced to swear allegiance to Trump after his 2024 win because politics are a game of power and they had no choice. I saw it as capitulation rather than a co-option of Trump.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:53:38 +0000OK, Dumb question (and I have been around ThaiVisa.com for the best part of 20 years) ......where is the pinned topic, I don't recall much debate around this LTV but, yes, I have read some topics on the subject.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:53:08 +0000The Trump admin sees far left activists as domestic terrorists, and in my view this is a correct assessment (c.f. post George Floyd "Summer of Love" in 2020).Wed, 27 May 2026 16:48:08 +0000I bet you believe the moon is made of cheese at this point.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:46:15 +0000Just read it… Well, Leo has radicalised his anti-Trumpism since last time I read him. It's funny how promising Substack writers so often evolve from analysers to preachers (perhaps a side effect of having thousands of paid subscribers…). He reads Trump's actions literally, takes them at face value. You know what my take is on that. I will refrain from further comment now, but will bookmark this article and we shall see how well it has aged in a year from now…Wed, 27 May 2026 16:44:00 +0000You don't say. You're MAGA aren't you? That alternative reality is what the whole world knows about MAGAWed, 27 May 2026 16:41:08 +0000Conspiracy theories flowing thick and fast. Wasnt so long ago you guys wanted conspiracy theorists(who it turned out were merely stating known fact) to be red screened and removed from the discussion. Wasn't a sincere stance clearly🤣Wed, 27 May 2026 16:38:49 +0000You exist in an alternate reality.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:37:43 +0000Are you talking about the set up assassinations, where someone got instructions, and got paid for it, then lost his life, so he couldn't reveal anything? You must remember, it's been in the news since the first day, that a people pointed to the shooter, a police man climbed up the ladder, saw the shooter, but ignored him.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:30:55 +0000Well, your side continue to attempt to wipe out Israelis . Hasnt been going too well for your side recentlyWed, 27 May 2026 16:29:17 +0000It's a good compromise: quiet, no tourists in the vicinity, mainly Thais in the moo bahn, yet still close to all amenities.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:27:43 +0000Naah,we're just not MAGA or Jew loversWed, 27 May 2026 16:22:42 +0000good to hear . quiet can take some getting used to hahahha . i love quiet . but have to admit it is less "lonely" when close and convenient to shopping, etc which cities do provide .Wed, 27 May 2026 16:22:35 +0000You mean he's gonna skip the 10 years between 80 and 90?Wed, 27 May 2026 16:21:31 +0000That is the biggest problem for the USWed, 27 May 2026 16:20:02 +0000And the Israeli terrorists? Works both ways.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:19:42 +0000That is a good electrician. Happy to hear some are really good .Wed, 27 May 2026 16:18:58 +0000There's no question that this man is 79 going on 90, and he looks more feeble every time we see him. He can barely even walk up and down stairs anymore. His health is declining both physically and mentally, as he's increasingly incoherent and his rambling is non-stop.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:17:09 +0000And you know the full facts of the case from your armchair or barstool?Wed, 27 May 2026 16:15:40 +0000Absolutely wrong in the case of Thailand and the Philippines, so you don't know what you are talking about? Most admit wrongdoing to receive a shorter sentence because they can't afford lawyer fees. I know loads of innocent people in Thai jails. So check your facts before your keyboard fingers, and keep your crocodile tears.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:14:41 +0000LazyWed, 27 May 2026 16:10:55 +0000Do you think Thai prisons have aircon? What planet are you on?Wed, 27 May 2026 16:10:52 +0000Not anymore. It's illegal now, .. In big quantities for sure !! Those who sell have to have an authorization paper from the Government And I think a Medical physician has to be involved.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:10:45 +0000In addition to these, I would pay a visit to the Office of the Ombudsman at Chaeng Wattana. I think there's also a Consumer Protection Bureau. If the ticket company has an actual office, personally I'd go at end of day, ask to talk to someone and sit in until they give you your money back! Friday would be good. Don't let them try to toss you out until you get your money. Think of the interest they made from many people's B15k! Don't let them get away with this!Wed, 27 May 2026 16:09:20 +0000In other words a super corrupt lobby will work harder and spend more to engage a super corrupt senate, all in the name of "legal corruption", American style.Wed, 27 May 2026 16:05:01 +0000
