Travelers should avoid Taiwan, gona get ugly.
Smog still there? Appaling management by the government. Thanks for the show and keep up the good work. Shame about the keyboard numpty warriors 😂
When meeting with the US House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, one must, be very skeptical.
Government must provide farmers with alternative means, than burning.
You do a great job of keeping us updated on relevant stories. Sad you had to deal with that – keep up the good work.
Hello Tim , all strength to you. As a CM resident with a partner owning a tourism dependent business I can only support anyone who publicises the pollution crisis. To try to hide it is folly because anyone coming here is going to experience a nightmare and will share their experience once they get home. Those of us living here are enduring the worst pollution in a decade and are becoming more and more angry at the utterly incompetent PM and his gang of criminals. To blame other countries is merely to try to deflect the criminal behaviour of Thai farmers & big business and clearly shows the utter contempt that Bangkok politicians hold for people living in the north. The upcoming election will be directly influenced by this. Please keep your highly informative programming coming, we depend on you.
Have you heard of another Aussie journalist whom I cannot even name.
Fkn sucks doesn't mate.
Hi Tim,
You will always get haters take it with a grain of salt as you said this was not your opinion you were just reading to your audience what is written
Cheers
Geoff
Just watched from 17:17 to 17:28 with no sound.. and laughed my ass off 😆 funniest 10sec that I have seen in a while
Holly crap! what is happening Tim? demonetized? what exactly happened?
Is Tim a virgin?
Two words for the disgusting news of the Dalai Lama.. HOLY SHIT!!
Great delivery of the news Tim. I always enjoy your reporting of the news. Excellent!!
Thailands sugarcane amounts to 250 billion baht per year for exports. Tourism amounts to 830 billion baht. Can you see the problem for Thailand! Thailand will not want to kill the sugarcane farmers.
Keep pushing, Mr Newton. The truth needs no defence. 🇹🇭 🇦🇺
Thank you…from a nearby air polluting country not mentioned by anyone…..
Sad to hear about you being demoneitised. Very sad. What a poor world we live in. No one like a discussion if it doesn't suit them. Other people's opinions are just attacked. Your just the 3rd party. 😢
Should not be your problem. If they not like change channel. Kho Hia Mee Kwam suk
Looks like you have been targeted. All news on YouTube about soi 6 incident has been taken down. You make up your own opinion. Sad to see this happen. TIT.
Thailand, send the HTMS Chakri Naruebet carrier to the Taiwan Strait. The Chakri Naruebet will give the Chinese a moment of pause. 🇹🇭 🇹🇼
I was set on "semi-retiring" in Chang Mai, but the terrible pollution makes that a "hell no" decision, and the Thai Government needs to get off of their asses and resolve the problem, which
is quite possible to do – if the corrupt and lazy politicians who profit from how it is now could be removed. I think when Chang Mai loses enough business, that "might" compel those who
can to do their damn jobs and make things right, then maybe I'll move there. Also, if Thailand wants to be known as "The Prostitute Capital of The World", that's their choice, though I
think it's disgraceful, pathetic and a blight on the country.
I dont know why any tourist come to Chiang Mai
Thailand should start by putting out its own fires
sick world
Hope police can help with "Shoot the Messenger" people – pref with more than Songkran water pistols…
Wow WTF that’s nuts! Crazy to hear that! 😮
Good Morning Tim Abs😮lutely ridiculous you got the response regarding the Brit guy getting arrested. I watch 3x Thai TV morning channels and they mention the same subject, as well as fab 103 & Pattaya news and All just did what you did and just report the news. I hate the bar scene and wished they closed it down as I feel it's cause such a bad reaction to the area and they way the Thai people see tourist and the hurt it causes behind the scene. I live in the area but in with Thais and its totally different from Pattaya bars. You do amazing job keep up the great work screw the idiots .
Why are some people so violent? You are just presenting the news in Thai press. Why would anyone want to attack you? That is retarded! Not the sharpest thinker in class….
Hi Tim, sad to hear that you copped really bad abuse for reading the news about a bar in Pattaya, to me that story was interesting and important. I guess that bar owner has a few connections and friends who probably felt he was being wrongly victimised hence the misguided abuse 😞
Hi time how to join the live show @9am?
Thumbs up 👍 Khun Tim…….
Sorry to hear about the show being demonetized 😮but death threats and acts of violence are unacceptable and have no place in civil discourse
Posting anything online makes you a target. I learned a long time ago its just not worth the hassle and staying out of all the social media platforms is the best way to go. In any case there are already so many news outlets, do we really need another? Not that your content is bad, its just pointless. Its all been done to death online. Look how many utube travel vloggers there are now – its a never ending stream of people who all think they can make it big on line because they saw someone else make it work. the reality is there is too much content now and its all become really boring.
Flight to Chiang Mai in beginning of March for 10 day stay but got panic and Flight back the fifth day.
Keep it coming Tim. You do a great job.

No more thrill if prostitution legalized. Part of booming Thai sex industry is the cat-and-mouse scenes between sex-workers and local police. Price if street sex would be cheaper if legalized though it would level competition among players in sex-related sub-industries but would add tax to Thai government.
Look up into the sky people… Ask your Gov why these Chemtrails are being sprayed everyday all over Thailand… Awake yet!
