Foreign cyclist severely injured after being hit by Phuket Airport taxi
Sorry to hear that..... Maybe the helmet could have made a difference - too late now and I doubt any other around will learn. In Laws recently had an accident - Small impact, Airbags went off... FiL injured... no seatbelt. It was the Airbag that hurt him..... I've been telling them for years to wear an airbag.... but nope.... they sit 'on' the seatbelt (done up) to stop the car dinging.... they refuse to listen. Ironically, when they get in my car, they put the seatbelt on automatically, as I refuse to move until they do so. So... tonight... first time we've seen them since the accident - FiL wants to show me his injuries... I asked him if he was wearing a seatbelt - Nope... I don't him the injuries are his own fault then... later on they leave and get in their new car... Nope... no seatbelt - not chance of them doing that... Lovely people - but eff me.... for the life of me I cannot understand how educated and seemingly intelligent people can be so obtuse. -

Pita vows to reform Thailand’s broken political system
Big words from someone who is banned from politics and had his party dissolved. He should worry about himself first if he’ll be jailed or worse come to any bodily harm.- 1

Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya
They may them the minimum Thai wage, don't house them in 'labor camps' then ? These 'kind Thai Immigration officers' allow this because the business pay them to turn a blind eye..... there's money in it.... And schools for the children of migrant workers - high educational establishments they area (but I agree, better than being left in the labor camp with no supervision).... At least until the factory or buidling site is next raided... all the illegals and family get rounded up, pay the fine, get sent home... then get back in the queue to return to Thailand, pay the bribes the fees, get back to their sub-minimum wage job and start the cycle again... ... meanwhile they can;'t complain about their treatment as they'll get thrown out again. Yes... those kind Thai's.... Agreed.... money earned gets sent back - but only because doing things this way profits Thai business for if they had to pay the legal minimum wage, this would stop immediately. I see the same being done in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Saudi, Oman - exactly the same model, though the migrant workers are of different nationalities. In 2023 the UK spent US$ 14,325,513,800 on foreign aid ($14.3 Billion) In 2023 Thailand spent US$ 1,200,000,000 on foreign aid ($1.2 Billion) - thats 12x less than the UK.... Now... I'm not suggesting that Thailand is terrible and the UK is great, as there are other facets that influence the aid agreements.... and its commendable that Thailand is giving a large sum away as foreign aid... .. But to 'suggest' the UK government does nothing for these people is incorrect, it highlights a fundamental flaw in your bias - it present the probability that you are just an uneducated, uninformed liar working of their emotion and bias to present a flawed argument that can so readily be picked apart as with any other argument you present that its hardly worth responding to.... ... in fact the only reason I am responding is not to re-educate yourself, you are clearly beyond that - but to highlight the outrageous flaws in your 'one liners' and claims which serve one singular purpose... ... to further bury yourself into deeper into that hole of fully trollish idiots who know nothing but are some how so invested in their delusion that they just do not know what the don't know... and are unable to comprehend that there is information out there of which they are unaware... ....... the short term is 'idiot' - but I've taken the lengths to explain why that is so glaringly obviously to anyone else but yourself - and it is this why so many people accuse you of being a troll.... for stupid people are far more rare than trolls. Of course they would - its about the bottom line.. people are desperate and they will work for whatever money the can get, any money is better than no money. Additionally - the world doesn't care.... the world didn't care when it was 'slave' labor building the Stadiums and infrastructure for the Qatar World Cup..... and news was blocked. - Official Qatari figures 47 died. - International figures: 6,500 died. Minor protests, quickly forgotten, the world doesn't care - and neither does the Thai Government or those getting wealthy from employing migrant labourers in squalid conditions. So... you can make up total BS that 'these people been gifted an opportunity to not only lift themselves out of poverty, but the money earned gets sent back to the home countries helping millions more people, often elderly people'.... But its polished rubbish.... Its not an opportunity at all - its exploitation.... and you're a fool for not being able to recognise that. -

The US migrant Crisis video report
And yet the same data shows that the Biden administration has delivered excellent results since January 2024. The number of people crossing the border has been significantly reduced and if the trend continues, should be better than when Trump was in office , excluding the period when the borders were closed because of Covid. The numbers could have been reduced even further if Trump had not blocked the bipartisan funding Bill from passing. Trump wanted the border crisis so that he could have an issue for the election campaign. -

Religion in Thailand
Because like the vast majority of religious people they are brainwashed at a very early age to believe what they are told and it sticks with them in spite of all evidence to the contrary. -

Will Kamala Denounce the Pro Terrorist Demonstrators
Israel's acts are not "terrorist" in nature. You have relied on information, particularly a narrative that has been crafted by Hamas and its supporters. For example, Israel targets a former school and civilians are killed or injured. What is not mentioned, is that the location is used as a missile firing site and that prior to the attack had fired multiple missiles into Israel. What is not mentioned is that the jihadis firing the missile intentionally located in the former school which had also served as a munitions storage site and that no longer had any educational function months ago. The civilian population were either invited to stay there by the jihadis or knowingly located to present as martyrs to their cause knowing that the IDF would act to neutralize the location. President Biden understands this. Other responsible members of both political parties understand this. This same strategy was used in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Ambushes were often carried out by the Taliban from civilian villages. They wanted civilans to die because it allowed public opinion in the west to be manipulated. ISIL intentionally used human shields in Iraq and most every time the US defended itself from attack, civilians were inevitably harmed. -

Paetongtarn Won't Take Defence Minister Role, Declares Thaksin
Why does Thaksin not let his daughter speak for herself? What does he hope to gain by showing off publicly that he is pulling the strings in the background and his daughter is merely the puppet Prime Minister? Why does he make her lose face like that? -

Religion in Thailand
Why are Thais so obsessed with religion? Anywhere you go you see pictures of monks (dead or alive) and of course, the one we are not allowed to mention. Most Thais have very little money but spend it on goods for monks. I had my house and car blessed by monks Did it help me ? No. Most temples have money trees and everybody donates freely. And monks walk around with their latest phones drink alcohol or take drugs and Thais just seem to ignore it. Well, don't compare them to catholic priests they are allowed to drink. ( I am an atheist} In India they don't eat beef because of their religion Thai monks are not supposed to acquire earthly goods (money, phones, alcohol and so on) So my question is ,,,,,, why do Thais spend most of their money on religion? Start bashing me.
