So you won't be moving to that hilarious pastiche on civilisation that the locals call Kreungthep anytime soon then, Daddy?
-
Thanks for the report.
We had this hotel overcharge discussion a while ago with the guy who promotes the Devil's Den and it's sister operation.
In Pattaya, of all places, this 'hotel sets the...

Looks like The Times They Are A Changin' in Manc:

Can you be specific about where you've eaten in Patts and Bangers?

If you do a bit of research, you will find that many of Thailand's private hospitals and clinics have dubious reps for overcharging. Fact is, it's a way of life from top to bottom in the country that...

Well done Mackin.
Opebo, I enjoy your honest reports (and I suspect many who don't like to admit to it do so also). But you are showing yourself up to be almost as big a wimp as Mick Licker (or...
-
I always find William Barnes' journalism inadequate and disappointing. Unlike other foreign correspondents covering S E Asia, he seems unable or unwilling to look at the bigger picture. Wrt to...
-
Yeah, the Old Bangkok Elites and their middle class support base thought the international media were belittling Thailand when the erstwhile Golden Boy was being scrutinized. Then, the same media...

"It also seeks to control the news media"

Er.....yes. Mass murderers, please form an orderly queue :confused:.

That's a good post. The link provides plenty of food for thought, and your observations are astute. But the key problem with local community empowerment is the power structures of local Pu Yai's,...

PMSL. The nuances of life at a Public School in the UK are probably lost on many non-UK members of ISG. Just try to imagine the boy Cameron being bullied, sent on errands and possibly, just possibly,...

You are making yourself look ever more foolish. You arrived at these discussions boasting about your business corruption and feeling sorry for yourself over grabbing a tiger (Thaksin) by the tail.

This is an interesting article. There is a lot of uncorroborated stuff in it, but it does provoke a few thoughts.
-
Not yet. We first need to get to the bottom of why you are writing lies about Nick Nostitz, who is by a long way the most 'boots on the pavement' photographer and journalist in Thailand covering the...

Here is another boots on pavement report for Brother Shouty. Maybe he'll dislike this one too?

Here is another boots on pavement report for our propagandist, ranting bro. I don't think he'll like this one though ;).

G,
I found both of those articles to be poor quality journalism by minor outlets. But thanks for providing them anyway.
-
I'm going to leave this quote in it's full 'glory'. The poster started to move slightly away from the 'everything is Thaksin's fault' ranting to conceding that corruption is endemic in Thailand, and...
-
It's a pretty good summary similar to the Economist one, but with quite a bit more detail. Right-wing farang will hate it, of course: It actually spreads the blame around and fails to blame Thaksin...
-
I've snipped most of the above post, but the bit I've left in says far more about the poster than all the words of ranting propaganda and arrogance that I snipped. Businessmen 'playing the game'...
-
I don't dispute that Thaksin is a first-order scumbag. In fact, I've always opined that he is. But where propagandists like you fall on their arses is where you try to make him the Devil Incarnate of...
-
Yes, I fear that things are now going to get worse. And the saddest aspect is that the options for a reconciliation government are disappearing up the river. I wrote at the time that he became prime...
-
Oh dear! One of the propagandists appears to have made it to ISG's Thai political discussions :(.
Lifeingr, just be careful about how you hold the info you are reading up on. If you are...
-
If it's the forum I'm thinking of, you will always have major issues discussing Thai politics there. For starters, that forum is based in Thailand, so discussion of the Royal Family and judicial...
