Starmocihc Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 One of the many reasons I live here, being well aware of my forever only a "long term guest" status, is that I've no obligation to take any vested interests in any requirement or adherence to random nonsense that was specified for the citizenry. An above average sense of humor and frequent circumvention is the key to enjoying yourself in the LOS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketDog Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Zoom out enough on forum posts and you see farang complaining that they are not treated like Thai and then complaining because they are. It's hard to have it both ways. The more we make ourselves a pain the more reason the Thai have to resent us. Trivial inconveniences like this are not worth going to war over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was an attempt to ensure (hopefully) people are voting with a clear head. Democracy is the selecting of incompetent politicians, by uninformed people who should never be allowed to vote in the first place. Alcohol improves the experience of voting immeasurably, or at the very least, it dulls the senses so that the unwashed herd involved don't care about the end result. The election of Trump 4 years ago was a prime example of this phenomena. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big deal - not. OR it's the principle of it, including the usual Thai hypocrisy and contempt for farang. When it comes to dual pricing (at national parks, for example) treat farang with conspicuous unfair discrimination even those who have lived here for many years, have work permit, legit jobs, Thai families, property, etc. But when it comes to nation-wide booze ban during elections which mean nothing and have nothing to do with farangs, nope the same law applies to everyone, we are all suddenly "equal" ???? Should hold their phony elections during the week and not on holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
