It was a mistake to call farangs "dirty". You were getting 40 million tourists per year, how many are coming now? The Internet is a very powerful tool, not to be under-estimated.

I mean, really,   under the current situation here, the mans the perfect choice,  a fool with a loose mouth,  just what Thailand needs to carry on   the road to  disaster.

He may be ready but are we?

All I said was that anutin had a point when he said farang shower less than Thai, then I was attacked for being racist. I used 'farang' as that is what he used. 

 

I know, as a Scot, that Thais shower a lot more than the average Scot, full stop. 

 

Too many sensitive snowflakes here that exhibit a colonial reverse superiority. Can't have them pesky Siamese saying they are more hygienic than us! 

 

The problem was not repeating Mr. Anutin's quote. The problem was that you generalized all foreigners in one group. And now, in your latest comment, you do the same with your own countrymen (and women). I don't think you went from door to door in Scotland, asking each and every individual how often and how long they shower. 

What you probably meant to say was: 

"As far as I know, and with my limited knowledge, as a Scot, I think I know that Thais that I know shower a lot more than the average Scot that I know, full stop."

Seems to be the normal (wrong) way things are done here....put a very rich know it all in charge of something he knows absolutely nothing about and then move him upwards into an even more serious job he knows even less about !

 

All very predictable Thai Politics; and in my opinion things are going to get a lot worse before there is any hope of them getting any better.

It's called The Peter Priciple. Being raised to the level of his own incompetence. As PM he could well rise to breathtaking levels of incompetence.

Would it be terribly wrong to say

 

Let's go Anutin?

Waiting to see his Shirts for his campaign.  I am sure they will be festooned with Marijuana Leaves, Buds, and Krathom leaves with a saying "A vote for me is a vote for true happiness".

Based on what evidence?

Come on, which farang showers 5 times a day, like most Thais do. Before eating after eating, before going out, when getting back home, before sex after sex. The average Thai :snack, talk, shower, nap..

None of the average Thais I know shower five times per day.

 

Before sex after sex? Are you referring to the showering habits of sex-workers?

Right,so you endorse an insult,but become offended when it’s implied you may also fit the same criteria . Do you see a logic disconnect there? Or ,if I understand you’re native Thai..? then you have proved the ‘common knowledge' that Thais are dimmer than Farang.? There is actually better empirical evidence for that care of the PISA educational tables and googling‘average IQ by country'. I’ll understand if you’re now baffled… ????

Internet has nothing to do with the reduction in tourists . Nothing to do with the Thai Government either .

Yes , the internet is powerful and can ruin peoples business from malicious reviews for example . 

Don't underestimate peoples readiness to wise up to the internet world either .

Now there is a generalisation. You know all farang do not shower as much as all Thais? 

Anyways, back to the subject in hand. I really do not care one way or the other, who is Prime Minister of Thailand. There is only one person who matters...at the moment, and one family.

my inference is they don't have the will to call A Nut out publicly - guess they fear being jailed.

he has and is clearly demonstrating his unsuitability to be in government. 

apparently as i have read on this forum A Nut has a friend in a very, very high place.

The ablutions of professionals is a lot higher. I should have qualified my remark by saying poo Ying Thai. No idea what the average is for the male population. Never lived with one. But when you tell a Thai that you shower once or twice they are shocked and hold their noses (farang men men).Many non isan Thais consider their northeastern brothers filthy (maybe they are not living up to the strict hygiene requirements of the 'real Thais').also have you eaten rice yet and ap nam laeo rue yang is almost like a greeting in Thai. I know of no other culture where showering assumes such a prominent place.

Unadulterated nonsense. 

That would be as to employ the goat as the gardener. I never believed I should write this, but please PM Prayuth, stay at your place.

So glad my family and I are leaving.

The argument has gone on for 6 pages. No one knows how many showers anyone takes a day unless they actually live with them. I'm 65, and have known thousands of people in my life, but can only say for certain that I know only a few that shower twice daily,and sometimes  more than twice daily. My ex wife and girlfriend here are two. My ex wife in the US and a couple girlfriends are  a few more. I myself shower twice daily unless I go to the gym, which makes it three. Many friends I have known have "told" me they only shower once a day. A survey where people actually answer honestly might be valid, but still only is a tiny percentage of the population. I have showered as much as 5 times a day, especially when working outside in the heat, but that's just a few times a year. Stick to the topic maybe?
