COVID Vaccines Could INTEGRATE with Human DNA: Yale Research
Allow me to reiterate that people who don't want this gene therapy injected into them are NOT all anti-vaxxers. This was just the demonizing line pushed by the CDC, governments and the legacy media. If ever there was a conspiracy it's from this side that it emanated from. -

Foreign Tourist Swallows Traffic Ticket in Odd Pattaya Incident
Your first post expressed faux alarm that a term such as "person of color" might have worked its way into the Thai vernacular. As this term is viewed as "politically correct" by some and "woke" by others, I would say that fretting about this possibility crossed the line from casual observation into the realm of political commentary. If it makes you feel any better, (piw sii ผิวสี) would more accurately be translated to "colored skin" or simply "colored" rather than "person of color." As I said earlier, this term has been in usage for decades, if not longer, in Thailand. The usage of "colored" to describe people of African descent is now viewed as unacceptable in the West due to its use during slavery, Jim Crow and apartheid in South Africa. The use of "colored" to describe dark complected foreigners in Thailand is deemed acceptable, at least for the time being, because without the above mentioned historical baggage, the term is not viewed as racially charged but simply descriptive. I don't think you need to worry about "woke" language encroaching its way into the Thai language. The usage of politically correct or, if you insist, "woke" language has gained traction in the West in an effort to linguistically force people to respect one another's racial and cultural differences. In my opinion, Thais are light years ahead of most Westerners in this department so the need to erect these type of linguistic guardrails here is minimal. -

Drunken Foreigner Causes Panic in Pattaya, Wandering Half Naked & Armed with a Knife
They have literally invited anyone who can afford a ticket to come to Thailand, in an utter desperation to increase the arrival numbers. There are no qualifications, the income requirements are low, and the quality of tourists that are being attracted here are increasingly lower. They just simply have to assume that they will get a percentage of nutters, super freaks, the bizarre, and those that just don't conform to any sort of societal norms. -

Foreign Tourist Swallows Traffic Ticket in Odd Pattaya Incident
Basically Thais don't get stopped in Pattaya only for show, the fines are 500 baht for a helmet or license violation and 1000 baht for running a red light. Yet do most tourists actually pay there fines or do they bin them and fly home, as never heard of anyone stopped from leaving Thailand for these offences. -

That's not all of it, though. As with so many institutions these days, there's an element of outright corruption that needs to be accounted for, too. -

Drunken Foreigner Causes Panic in Pattaya, Wandering Half Naked & Armed with a Knife
There are a lot more intoxicated Thais at my nearest 7-Eleven than intoxicated tourists in Pattaya. My Thai wife laughs at intoxicated foreigners but she cringes in fear when confronted with an intoxicated Thai.
