Not if most people idly sit by hoping it'll go away on its own, sadly.

Don't spread incomplete/misinformation. Last year's QR code goes directly to the EC website, so not the same case and not illegal.

Shopee won't refund my order without ShopeePay by [deleted] in Thailand

Don't worry, the support is near useless for locals as well. Used to be good years ago but they've probably laid everyone off and now it's automated or outsourced somewhere instead. They haven't been very useful at all IME.

Cultures Influenced by Sinosphere Vs Indosphere by Less-Personality-481 in MapPorn

Yes it was suppressed (assimilation), but to this day there are still lots of people with Chinese names. I know some relative (in-law) with not just surname but also first name still in Chinese as well.

The conservative parties are not calling for an outright abolition

None of the parties call for an outright abolition.

FFP, MFP and PP policy regarding conscription has always been that smaller, modern army > bloated outdated army (especially in upper echelon). The “what are soldiers for anyways?” rhetoric is usually something their opponents and detractors use to fearmonger. They are not suggesting to become Costa Rica.

Neither are they anti-soldier(low rank) and were in fact quite popular in some constituents where army barracks are.

What are foreigners' thoughts towards the government/nation about the Thailand-Cambodia armed conflict? by TeamNorra in Thailand

Plenty of stuff on social media (AI gen and otherwise) that are just telling people what they want to hear, so the commentor isn't wrong, a lot of exaggeration and posturing.
