It is a completely censored and biased forum. If anyone makes any comment about the "real power" in Thailand they are suspended and the comment removed. It is disgraceful how the admins bow, scrape and genuflect to the Thai royalty. I guess they left all dignity, self-respect and morality at the airport a long time ago. ThaiVisa is a joke.

So what are your motives? There's jealousy and, guess what, stalkers out there. And well I had a talk with George and he's quite approachable, has a phone number and offers contact details as you can see at the end of the interview. What does his real appearance matter? Again, it's as easy as adding 1 + 1 to understand why he avoids inviting unnecessary publicity. <a href="mailto:absolutelyBangkok@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">BangkokDan</a> That’s the third time you pose this question here Ian.

Because once they had done the test they would have come to understand the importance of freedom of expression in a "democracy" only to face the inevitable results of what freedom of expression means in the reality of a fascist state if you go against the accepted dogma/mantras. What do you think the benefits of an extended political history course would be in this context? Honestly, I am fascinated. Please elucidate your plan for us. I'm guessing you have some kind of communist re-education scheme in mind ... let's hear your five year plan. What a wonderful idea that is Papu.

Any good thread was soon ruined by the nattering nabobs of negativism. I found that it was affecting my mood to expose myself to that, so more than a year ago I just stopped cold turkey. The only time I visit the site now is to post a query, e.g. Where can I buy this, nothing else. One of the best decisions I ever made. If I want to learn about the political scene I can visit BKK Pundit or find the info myself, and since I can read and understand Thai I can get news that way without it being filtered through someone's bargirl girlfriend. BTW, bargirls are a protected class on ThaiVisa. I think the reason for that is obvious. Insult them, and you are insulting a ThaiVisa member's wife or girlfriend.
