July 25, 20241 yr I don't care, it's not my problem, everyone who thinks that someone else would be better is wrong, they are all the same.

(Slight exaggeration, perhaps?) you still differentiate between drugs AND alcohol - I thought they were both drugs? And I have never heard a doctor use the terminology "druggie", or use the words "Best is not to drink alcohol or take drugs". (Poor English) - Just sayin'! Anyway, I (and probably a few others) are getting tired of this "repartee" - I tried to tactfully draw it to a close earlier but your doctor's skin is obviously not made for compromise, so I bid you good day and enjoy the rest of your drug free and alcohol free evening. Bye! Unfortunately not an exageration but what do you know Actually I use the word druggie due to the long time I spent working with English speaking addicts and as for my English, I am not English I am Swiss or did you miss that vital clue in my forum name Just keep insulting me i am sure that you will feel much better then

And doctor's writing is renowned for being fairly unintelligible, but as English is not your native language, you're forgiven! And I am not insulting you, I am just not wanting to get into stupid disagreements about "not totally true" or "totally untrue" - I did try to bring it to a halt by saying it was all getting "a bit pedantic", but you immediately insulted ME, by saying "Yes, you are".? As I said before - good night!

I dunno, a foreigner-hating army stooge he way be, but he has a bit more nouse than current donkey and at least we wouldn’t have to look at his idiotic smiley boat race anymore. In a perfect world, it’d be Pita. But it ain’t and it isn’t, so better to have a numpty than a smiling clown numpty. 🙂

Also, the fact that he spearheaded such a progressive policy as legalising marijuana during a military government says something quite special about him. No the policy is not popular, but it absolutely is the right thing to do and is giving Thailand a massive edge in tourism. People should realise that alcohol is a FAR more dangerous "drug", yes, "drug". It makes many people violent and causes huge domestic strife. When people as stoned, they don't usually go around beating people up like drunk football supporters do. It seems to me that he is a man who wants to get things done and has proven that he can. Obviously, Future Forward would be the best option from a purely democratic standpoint, but practically, Anutin would be a good choice. He screws up the country with weed bars on every corner. How is this good for the next generation of Thai people

These include Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Chaikasem Nitisiri from the Pheu Thai Party, General Prawit Wongsuwan of the Palang Pracharath Party, Pirapan Salirathavibhaga from the United Thai Nation Party, and, crucially, Anutin himself. So the party the actually won the election don't have a candidate that has been cleared by the election commission?

July 25, 20241 yr Purely from the angle of the cannabis and the moto gp circuit , not forgetting his warm and genuine smile- if i had a vote- he would get it. but Sretta aint so bad , i hope he can accomplish what he set out to do with home ownership

They emove ptp leadership and the military junta gets control of the country again. Just like the past Pm with PPP Ptp may be the biggest party but bjt will be in control
July 25, 20241 yr Abysmal polling numbers and a truly horrible statesman. Sounds like a perfect candidate for the Thai Prime minister roll. Never mind what the populice wants
July 25, 20241 yr this thread is a year or 2 late. i told you for how long now that it was inevitable ? MY BOY !!

I would bet money that Thaksin was setting Anutin up to become the next PM and meeting with Anutin to work out Thaksins plans for the future.
July 26, 20241 yr Thailand can continue with it's habit of appointing from the absolute bottom of the barrel. Find the worst person possible, and ask him or her to lead the nation. Seek out inferiority. A great recipe for regression. The once great tiger of SE Asia reduced to a sickly alley cat, begging for scraps. Not impressive.

One just has to look at the international reportage on Thailand in recent decades. The regular briefs/reports that foreign ambassadors in Thailand send back to their ministries/departments of foreign affairs would make interesting reading.
July 26, 20241 yr Thai's on the ground love his right wing views. He was the only Thai minister who dared speak out against foreigners not wearing mask and flouting rules during covid. If he takes on an anti immigrant rant he will be loved by Thais.
July 26, 20241 yr He got less than 3% of the vote? surely they cannot be that stupid? (don't answer that).

July 26, 20241 yr Was it Sretta's own idea to put a criminal in his government? Or was he ordered to by Thaksin? Either way, it seems a stupid move, leaving him open to just this kind of action. They never seem to learn.
July 26, 20241 yr 19 hours ago, sambum said: He doesn't like farangs!!! He Family owns the construction company that built the new airport under Thaksin, funny that. His family building an airport to allow more dirty westerners in. Plus, all this allowing foreigners (Chinese) more freedom to buy and lease land while Thavisin transferred all his shares in the family's Contruction company to his daughter. Isn't that a bit similar to Thaksin buy up all that land under the members of his family's name and his friends, where Thavisin's family company built the airport.

Give the power to those who won the election. Now we have a bunch of useless parrots that is turning Thailand into a damn joke! Sadly No government will ever be allowed that is not controlled by the military, him up there wants to keep his lifestyle, I'd like to say more but free speech is not allowed.

Nero fiddled as Rome burned We don't need any more tourist advancement, we need less. we also need a government that can come up with ways of not relying on so much tourism, the ones this PM has come up with are pathetic, a world tour of begging none of that has worked, he had no, none, Zero, political experience before. ...................................................IMO

Tighter immigration regulations and requirements, higher bank balances and incomes could make living here impossible for the great majority of us. Pure speculation.................
