Depends on where you get the stats. Regardless, the most important stat for us is violence perpetrated in foreigners. Which is low here. If they want to kill each other, it is sad, but it is what it is. https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Thailand/United-States/Crime Edited January 31, 2022 by spidermike007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of her customers are pawning their last piece of gold at her gold shop, and they don't know what to do when the last few baht run out. Extreme desperation is coming, expect to see more of this trend. Psyche can only take so much before it snaps. Time for a businessman to run the country again. And if you're a general, it's time to think about an exit strategy, it only gets worse from here and all fingers are pointing at you. Very true. It is called the Prayuth devastation. He has obliterated the economy. Army boys should never be allowed to run anything but a barrack, or a maintenance depot. They are grossly under qualified for the real world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US economy is doing very well. So is Mexico, which never had one economic shutdown. Prayuth has utterly decimated a major industry here. Face up to the facts. Highly selective, and highly favorable (to the rich cronies) shutdowns do not accomplish much, other than putting millions out of work.

DUNROAMIN Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 16 hours ago, fittobethaied said: Has no one every wondered why the Thai news media focuses on crime and car accidents? Number one is to distract the public from the more important things like political unrest and corruption. Secondly, if they can keep the public in fear from robbers, murderers and drug addicts, they can justify such a huge police force and secure their positions so they can keep the corruption gravy train rolling down the tracks. Why do you think the police line up to have their photographs taken after they take these scoundrels into custody? They must continue to perpetuate the pubic perception that the much needed police are heroes and are here to protect the citizenry against all the dregs of society, so they are a much needed institution. It's all just camouflage! The protection of the citizenry is way down the list of priorities, and bribes and corruption are number 1. I always wonder how much of these photo ops with drug hauls are recirculated with corrupt cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
