Members Lucky Posted June 5, 2021 Members Posted June 5, 2021 Did the recent COVID wave in Thailand originate in a straight sex club frequented by the rich and government leaders? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/05/world/asia/thailand-covid-clubs.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage Quote
Londoner Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 Some members of the the Thai hi-so community acts as if they have a divine right to do exactly as they please, whether it is killing traffic policemen and escaping (sic), paying thugs to attack Red Shirts or (so it seems) acting as if there is no national health emergency. These spoilt brats are untouchable, while the Thai population sweats and labours in fields, or works long , underpaid hours in 7 11s...or for that matter, keeps the tourist business alive in Patpong. Unsuccessfully, for now. I won't say here what I believe is the root cause of the chasm between the very rich and the rest of the country but note (with a degree of optimism, though not much), that middle -class students , as well as Red Shirts, are challenging the status quo. About time too. Ruthrieston, reader, splinter1949 and 1 other 4 Quote
