ChaiyaTH Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I thought they just returned and had fallen sick due to covid / pollution, the pollution is like just as bad now as the last time he was here too. Populism at its best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais are all the same, if you would tell you stole 20 people their retirement funds and destroyed their entire family, a few years back in the west, but you now changed and went to a temple for 2 weeks, they will love you, and you being rich. Some would deny to like this or be the same, upon asking them, until it actually happens in their real life + they also benefit from it. This is the real Thai culture: you simply don't mention it and take the money. Don't think too much, sabzi sabzi.

That reminds me... On a road trip to Chiang Khong years ago when Thaksin was in power, not far past Thoeng we passed one of those larger-than-life roadside portraits with flowers and insense before it. In full royal regalia with big hat and gold embroidered vestments was Thaksin himself. The ambition of this Dragonhead and his corrupt clan knows no bounds. 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borderhopper2005 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I recognize this neighborhood (from the shop sign and the shapes of the buildings behind these people). Must be in the Intrawarorrot Road that leads to the T-Junction by the park with 3 Kings Monument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
