  1. Calm down. There are countless numbers of farangs who either live here permanently or visit for tourism, family, etc. The vast majority never have a problem with police or anyone else. They've passed the exam Thailand 101 which requires students to know the basics about life in Thailand. Unfortunately some foreigners fail the exam due to ignorance and illiteracy
  2. Some posters go on about there's no democracy in Thailand, it's hopeless, the army etc will never let MF become the government. So what's the choice? Take to the streets. Then the army cries unrest, millions of Thais are living hand to mouth, or month to month, so violent suppression plus financial hardship drives the protesters back to work after yet another coup. The alternative- MF are reborn after dissolution, the demands, the cries for reform of Thailand are unstoppable amongst an increasing number of the population. 2 years ago it was 14.4 million. In three years perhaps 20 million. In the meantime old age and beyond envelop the present elite, disappearing beyond the horizon.
  3. You have been here long enough to know people have to speak in tongues otherwise the slammer beckons.
  4. The MPs can join other parties, usually only the executives are banned. This time though the court might ban all 44 MPs of MF who proposed the motion to reform 112. I'm sure MF have a party for their MPs to go to If Bhumjaithai are dissolved, most would go back to their old home, Pheu Thai
  5. More Israeli brutality https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68513408
  6. He only owns one elephant. If David returns to his homeland, I suggest his charming wife goes to visit him overland on their one magnificent beast. She could start a YouTube channel based on the legendary 'Hannibal Crosses the Alps' tale of yore.
  7. When people slip, they invariably utter an instinctive sound or word- 'oh', 'aaah', etc. I'm not sure what sound Swiss people emit but I'm fairly sure it's not ' fluck off' repeated.
  8. Apart from the totally unprovoked kicking of the doctor, the anger in the Swiss's voice when suggesting the two ladies move, was startling. The venom, the hatred, he sounded unhinged. Lucky he didn't bring out his gun. Is it true he was a security guard back home? Time to once again don the jacket and cap and patrol the premises of Credit Suisse.

  10. Due to her warmth, good looks and charm, Yingluk was, and no doubt still, remains popular upcountry, but I wonder whether she's ambitious enough to want to be PM again. Plus her lack of political experience, poor English and geography skills would mean more criticism on social media. I'd expect Pheu Thai to use her more for boosting their image, campaigning during election time, etc But she may prefer a private life, after all Tony owes her a lot.
  11. What a load of tosh. Thai- Israel government contracts for Thai labour have existed for years. For a long time, decades, it's been a legal way for working class Thais to earn enough money to build a house, etc back home. Many stay for years, sending money home every month. Comments like som nam na betray posters' ignorance and worse.
