Many of today’s conflicts about sex are caused by religion. From issues with people from the LGBT community, to simply being in public with someone from the opposite sex, religious rules, laws and what have you simply pry their way into places they have no business going.

Google vs Connecting the Dots Part 11
As predicted Google has once again showed that their selection of posts in alleged violation is not so much about Google AdSense ad placement, it is exactly the same as before that they somehow have issues with Thai Ladyboys. As nothing on our page in question has changed in the content since the day it has been posted and we have won not once but two times already once they came to their senses, this has now become less of a war about content, and more about some people at Google who have their own personal issues.

Google vs Connecting the Dots Part 10
It has been 2 years and 5 months since we had a complaint from Google. It is also interesting that they seem to be complaining about the same exact post that got them in a tizzy before on two separate occasions. However this time there is a new twist that tells us that some people are trying their hardest to show that they have personal issues and want to….. well read on and see for yourself.

Pre-written news stories about Thailand and beyond Part 3
As seen in part 1 and 2, there are plenty of examples of people ignoring the facts and writing from what their preconceived conception tells them to write. Even journalists from the best newspapers sometimes fall prey to preconceived myths and write about them as if they were factual. Continue reading Post ID 15746

Pre-written news stories about Thailand and beyond Part 2
It seems that many prewritten stories about Thailand come from one religious group or another. The giveaway clues once again are these religious centered people visiting Thailand discovering things in a matter of hours, that the local people living in the said location know absolutely nothing about.

Pre-written news stories about Thailand and beyond Part 1
What people think about Thailand and how close to reality that is depends a lot on what people read in the mainstream media. The media tends to provide the most up-to-date information about any place. But every now and then a journalist knows what they will say even before they head out to go and have a look at what they will write about because of what they have heard and not personally observed.

Mention Thaksin and anxiety spikes
Despite all the efforts to bring calm to Thailand’s political conflict, just the mention of Thaksin Shinawatra and anxiety levels spike. Unfortunately that means that despite all the efforts to bring a lasting political calm, this anxiety reaction means that whatever calm is being seen is not genuine, and political unrest is only being repressed.

Thai’s hostile reactions to critical reviews
It seems of late, several Thais in a position of power are responding to critical reviews with hostility. It clearly is a reaction based in anger, but when you look deeper many of the criticisms are justified and are being held to an international standard and not a Thai standard.

Thai Junta vs Human Nature
When the Thai military staged a Coup in 2014, they enjoyed nearly 70% support from Thais because they were doing something that was seen as positive for Thailand. But now it seems they may be expanding their agenda and based on what that agenda is, they risk having the entire population turning on them as well as giving Thaksin ammunition to stage a comeback.

Thaksin wants in but Prayut says no
It is starting to come right down to digging in against Thaksin’s insistence that he is still a player in Thailand’s politics. But the fact of the matter is that is unlikely that will happen. There are a series of dots that spell that out very clearly. Continue reading Post ID 15746

Thailand’s Martial law – the cork in the bottle
The USA sees Thailand’s martial law as stepping on freedom and democracy, and to some extent it is. But when you understand that Martial law is keeping want to be dictators and other trouble makers in check, it is suddenly viewed in a different light. Continue reading Post ID 15746

Fractures in pro-Thaksin camp showing
Leading up to and after former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s impeachment, signs of fractures were becoming very obvious. To the trained eye, Thaksin Shinawatra either can not or will not keep his supporters on the same page and singing the same song. If the fractures are this obvious to the media, what is really going on behind close doors must be Thai drama at it’s finest. Continue reading Post ID 15746
