https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenEveryone who's lived in Thailand for years may know it. But I can't count the number of advertisements I've seen offering to set up Thai businesses for foreigners. Based on the paltry numbers in the OP, it looks to me more like someone cast greedy eyes on specific businesses. There's probably thousands of nominee based businesses. The scariest part of the story is that they're denying bail. Which means they're locking people up, and not just closing the businesses and/or forcing them to sell.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:26:40 +0000If Thai people were responding to online foreign antisemitic influences it would reveal itself as Thais repeating the ‘foreign’ antisemitic views/tropes/slurs. They do not. Thai social and main stream media wrt to observably growing animosity towards Israelis is focused on specific incidents and issues, behaviour of which you give one example. Growing Thai animosity towards Israelis is an observable thing, it’s not imported, I’m not convinced it has anything at all to do with Antisemitism.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:26:13 +0000Contest it all you like, it doesn't change the fact that its a legal blockade by IsraelMon, 25 May 2026 00:25:14 +0000Havent seen your arse to judgeMon, 25 May 2026 00:23:49 +0000Most men will look at women as a beautiful creature, and some only look at them as objects for their own pleasure, but the majority I think won't. I've always seen women, especially some, as beautiful creatures, and all are in some ways. Some are beautiful on the outside and evil inside, and some are plain and average but beautiful humans. I've always seen them as equals in general, even though I've been around evil and good. They aren't objects, nor are men, even though many treat either as such. if you saw your mother treated as either an object and slave or as an equal partner and cherished, that's how you might see them as an adult.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:23:48 +0000What are Jews doing in Thailand that has caused this backlash ? What "goes on in Thailand"Mon, 25 May 2026 00:22:44 +0000Great towns, you should be proud of being brought up in one of these places.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:22:01 +0000Mon, 25 May 2026 00:21:32 +0000True in a way but a bit of a generalisation. Nick Shirly was branded by the left as a right wing influencer and a conspiracy theorists yet people are now going to jail because of what he exposed. Your initial statement of the dumb getting dumber though is spot on. The "shorts" format is definitely contributing to this. .Mon, 25 May 2026 00:20:35 +0000They were heading towards Gaza...Mon, 25 May 2026 00:19:19 +0000My reply to your reply : Israel are legally allowed to patrol and police the watersMon, 25 May 2026 00:18:30 +0000If anyone here fits the description of a moron, it would most certainly be you. As for 'hate rants', that would be you again....deranged and screeching about hate.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:18:20 +0000If you are referring to me, a true upstanding Englishman, then I suggest you check the Thai Immigration laws and requirements. If not me, where is this other 'tite arsed Pom', I would love to meet him/her.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:18:11 +0000They were heading towards Israel with the intention of illegally entering Israeli watersMon, 25 May 2026 00:17:50 +0000Undoubtedly plays a part, but Thai social media and mainstream media isn’t spreading views rooted in European historical, cultural and religious views. It’s far more focussed on current affairs and in particular those relating to Thailand and what goes on in Thailand.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:17:42 +0000Everyone kinda knew it was illegal, I've been saying it for years, people just went along with lawyers and agents saying it's ok, they should be prosecuted too otherwise it just looks like a money grab, which was probably the plan all alongMon, 25 May 2026 00:15:46 +0000It's really something not worth getting frustrated about - even quietly!Mon, 25 May 2026 00:15:33 +0000Are you drunken? Gaza is not a part of Israel. Police the waters close to Crete? I think they are not.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:15:28 +0000From FoxNews: A framework agreement with Iran was “95% there” as of Sunday, officials told Fox News, though they said negotiators were still haggling over "language" detailing Tehran’s nuclear stockpile and the Strait of Hormuz. “We are not going to roll over. We are not there yet on a deal. We are not going to sign a deal today or tomorrow,” the official said before adding that President Donald Trump’s “instinct is to give them 5, 6, 7 days” to get an agreement over the line. https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/trump-iran-peace-deal-hormuz-may-24 INSTINCT? like maybe what color draperies will be at the signing ceremony.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:14:53 +0000You cant answer . How can you say that some Thai guys would never attack you ? If four Thai guys attacked you, would you fight them all or run away ?Mon, 25 May 2026 00:14:10 +0000More than that, they can't be trusted, they were illegally setting up companies including accountantsMon, 25 May 2026 00:13:30 +0000Mon, 25 May 2026 00:13:24 +0000Seems deluded in the extreme that any operator whoever they are in the sleaziest end of the Pattaya sex industry would think they have a reputation to protect. I'm sure their customers don't care, the sleazier the better I expect in their eyes. It raises the question of who or what circles they are desperate to impress ? For example, whether it be successful business people in the legitimate economy, qualified journalists or even a ridiculously extreme example of say a high society sporting circle, they would 99% of the time be smart enough to spot an aspirational unqualified interloper in their midst. Never mind Joe Public with no skin in the game, just an ounce of human decency, an ability to observe real world reality and recognise factual evidence. The only thing more hilarious and pathetic at the same time I can think of would be someone suggesting The Pattaya News has done more for investigative journalism in Thailand than Andrew Drummond. Can narcissists ever quit when they are behind ?Mon, 25 May 2026 00:13:19 +0000It's the first time I agree with you. Why don't you get the hint, maybe they don't want you here, it's just a polite way of saying goodbye.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:11:23 +0000Anyone with half a brain knows you can not own land/property. They were happy to believe the lawyers because it gave them an easy solution.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:11:14 +0000
