News Forum - Chinese ambassador visits Phuket as tourism surges
Pick a side Thailand. Western democracies which let you run your own affairs or Chinese overlords who will turn you into a province. Just ask Laos and Cambodia how that worked out. -

News Forum - WHO makes Covid-19 pandemic plea
I strongly suspect the WHO knows how the virus originated. It is just difficult to prove without China being open and honest which is never going to happen. -

News Forum - WHO makes Covid-19 pandemic plea
Well if WHO still doesnt know where the virus originated from then thats a fairly good indication of their inability and should not be the World Heath Organisation. What a pathetic joke they are! -

News Forum - 5 police officers transferred over child prostitution ring at Patong bar
Always amuses me, Westerners who can afford to travel to or even live here judge Thailand by their rich-nation standards. 100% of Thais are in violation of numerous laws 100% of the time. Go out to the village where I have a house in Sasaket. Who has a drivers license? Nobody. Who keeps their car and motorcycle registration tax up to date? Nobody. Some old folks have NEVER had a DL. Why? Because they never financed a car. That's when people get them, when they can swing a loan, because the finance company requires it. Back when I came here often in the late '80s and early '90s, no such thing as a farang needing a DL or a helmet (and I rented and drove cars & jeeps, too). Now, since living here three+ years, I've been stopped a half-dozen times, at least, pay the 500 baht fine. Don't care whether it goes into the guys' and his buddies' pockets (any idea what low level Thai police make?). I tell people from my home country, the one euphemistically called "The Land of the Free" (that JOKE cracks me the eff up), about it, they seem incensed. I say, yes, when you get pulled over for a traffic infraction, the citations START at $300. I'm down MAYBE $100 in 6 stops at 15 bucks each. You think all those people with food side carts or the other tiny food stands are in compliance with all laws? BUT, look it up, 60% of Thais are self-employed entrepreneurs, hacking it out. They don't make a ton of money but they're husslers and hard workers when doing it for themselves. And they're a million times more free. Self-employment in my vaunted "Land of the Free," "Home of Opportunity?" 6%. LOL. Effin' joke. Thailand had 10 TIMES the entrepreneurs of all the softies, whiners, and complainers in the Western world. You know why Thai police are lackadaisical about enforcing letters of many laws? Because they're them, too. They understand how so many of the laws are just theater and show, so that Thailand can claim respectability in accordance with Western standards, and not their own. But also that enforcing them KILLS initiative, self-employed business, entrepreneurship, opportunity. The one cardinal rule? Never flaunt law violations, never embarrass the police. -
