Pita vows to reform Thailand’s broken political system
Pita Limjaroenrat represents everything good about Thailand and what Thailand can become. Intelligent, educated and transparent. He is a positive role model for young people. Unlike so many others who were elected to political office, he had experience in running a business, and more importantly in taking a failing business and turning it profitable again through good management practices. best of all he was an honest politician, in it for love of his country and of genuinely to effect positive change. The ruling cabal banned him for a decade in a selfish attempt to protect themselves, but there will be more like Pita in the future. They are trying to hold back progress. The longer they hold it back, the greater the force for change. Pita is the future and a man of great courage and resolve. -

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. -

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. -
