You've retired. Why do you spend so much time arguing about Trump?
Happens in most countries. Right wingers want freedom and lefties want communism. -

Thailand Intensifies Crackdown on Illegal Foreign Businesses
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post Thailand is ramping up its crackdown on illegal foreign-run businesses, spurred by concerns about weak law enforcement exposing the country to economic risks and reputational damage. With instances of foreign nationals participating improperly in industries like tourism and property, local stakeholders are demanding stricter enforcement of existing regulations to safeguard the nation's economic integrity. Authorities are currently focusing on enhancing measures against illegal practices by foreigners, particularly concerning the misuse of visa regulations and improper business conduct. The situation gained traction after concerns from various industry leaders about foreign entities exploiting legal loopholes, affecting local operators significantly. In the tourism sector, local guides have long contended with competition from foreign guides unlawfully operating in Thailand, particularly within the lucrative Chinese market. Paisarn Suethanuwong of the Professional Tourist Guides Association highlights that despite evidence, authorities often issue mere warnings instead of prosecuting violations. This approach has undermined operators who lose substantial income due to these unregulated practices. The property market, particularly in areas like Pattaya, has also become a hotspot for foreign investment malpractices. Thanet Supornsahasrungsi, of the Chonburi Tourism Federation, noted that foreign investors frequently circumvent property regulations by using nominee buyers. Local accommodations laws, which allow loopholes for short-term rentals in residential buildings, have exacerbated these issues. Meanwhile, the restaurant industry confronts its unique challenges. Thaniwan Kulmongkol of the Thai Restaurant Association expressed concerns over the dramatic increase in foreign-operated eateries, with some notably importing materials from abroad instead of supporting local suppliers, impacting local economies and employment. Retail sectors have not been immune, as evidenced by areas like Bangkok's Huai Khwang, dubbed "The second Chinatown," where a surge of Chinese-owned businesses is noted. Concerns focus on the influx of inexpensive products, potentially harming local traders. Somchai Pornrattanacharoen warns that this could decrease competitiveness if regulatory oversight remains lax. Government officials assert that current legislation is sufficient but requires more diligent enforcement. Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong vowed to refine hotel regulations to prevent unlawful short-term rentals and ensure tourist accommodations are both legal and safe. As illegal foreign businesses continue to siphon opportunities away from locals, the Thai government faces mounting pressure to protect local businesses while ensuring compliance with international visitors' expectations. Enhanced inspections and tighter policy enforcement are critical components of the response aimed at preserving the nation's economic health and safety. Thailand Post's calls for stricter regulation in the logistics sector similarly highlight concerns regarding low barriers to entry, which have enabled competitive distortions, further motivating a more robust approach across all sectors to manage foreign influence effectively, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-03-03 -

Tourists Caught Engaging in Sex on Bang Lamung Beach
Male superior complex, know also as narcissism personality disorder, isn't just a white thing but happens in all races and nationalities. They aren't jealous as they don't care. Insecure yes, because alpha males were raised in an abusive or neglected environment in childhood and later use that anger and control on everyone else that falls for their act.
