I'm sure there will be huge numbers agreeing with you... Sarcasm. Just remember, the facts are available to everyone. I suspect you are already a heavy user.

Sorry, thought I replied to this. It worked today and I have the QR (which I will also print out as others have done in case they ask at airline check in.). I must have been making some errors in the departure fields and that wouldn't let me move on to accommodation. Still a bit of a mystery. Anyway, worked in the end - thanks.

Those magic whistles are brilliant the crims that they are chasing immediately freeze when they hear it. They have the same magic whistles attached to life jackets so when you ditch in the middle of oceon you put on the life jacket and blow the whistle to attract attention and the coastguard is there to rescue you straight away;

Pictures courtesy of Amarin In an incident that occurred in the early hours of 15 May, a 24-year-old male graphic designer lost his life after jumping from the sixth floor of a multi-storey car park behind a well-known shopping mall in the Ram Inthra area of Bangkok. Police from Bang Khen Station were alerted to the incident at approximately 00:20. They arrived at the scene accompanied by forensic officers, a duty doctor from Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. The body of the deceased, identified as Mr. Charatch, was found lying face down in a pool of blood at the entrance road to a nearby housing estate. He was dressed in black shorts, a grey t-shirt, and a white long-sleeved top. He had sustained severe injuries to his face and head. Authorities confirmed that he had jumped from the sixth floor of the adjacent car park. Preliminary investigations revealed that the young man had left his home in Soi Sukhaphiban 5 at an unspecified time prior to the incident. He had parked his Honda car, at a petrol station near the shopping mall before making his way to the parking structure. It is not yet clear how he accessed the rooftop area, and police are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the premises. A pair of shoes belonging to the deceased was found on the sixth floor of the car park, further confirming the suspected point of descent. Reports suggest that Mr. Charatch had told friends that he previously contemplated suicide at this very location. Shortly after the incident, the victim’s girlfriend arrived at the scene and broke down in tears upon seeing his body. His parents later arrived and were equally distraught. Following an on-site examination by forensic experts and the hospital’s duty physician, the body was transported to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital. Police have since invited the deceased’s parents and girlfriend for further questioning to help determine the motive behind the apparent suicide. The investigation remains ongoing.

That doesn't mean it's not harmful as well.

Where is the video? Then we can decide if anything has been misrepresented. Free speech being attacked again. We are being told what we should think. No thank you.

I had this really attractive girl. An out and out 11 out 10. But when she started revealing she was crazy about eating bugs, it took her down a whole point. Something off about it.

It would be a waste of resources, as they simply are not needed. Violent crime is very rare on public transport in TH: rail & bus services. Plenty of CCTV everywhere now, and surely more to come. And yes, I remember the rape & murder on the train, over a decade ago. Emphasis on very rare.

This is the correct answer.

You must have been happy this morning to wake up and see something new you can be offended at. Hand wringing liberal that you are.

Amazing what a ladydrink will get you ! rgds SS.

Why the thumbs down? is it not possible that he overlooked it or do you imagine that he is an expert on rats and Zionists? It's certainly the first time I've ever read about it. Should a footballing expert be versed in such things?

Gosh Like all the Biden fans and Democrats on this forum, I hardly have anything to say. But here's my take. "Told you so!"

here you on, on Wise website

The sign I posted was put up by a well known tourist attraction in Pattaya promoting it's new wax work exhibit...this was quite a few years ago.

SS Hoodies - awesome

if you own a Harry’s razor, you will recognizing the picture on the box straight away, it’s not rocket science.

I transfered to UOB for the last 7 years; No issues. It seems that TTB bank also is not possible to receive money via WISE.

Also in pharmacy?

No its the correct Georgia... Georgia, the former Soviet republic (not the U.S. state). While personal use and possession of small amounts of cannabis (up to 70 grams) are legal in Georgia due to a 2018 Constitutional Court ruling, cultivation, sale, distribution, and importation remain illegal. Bella May Culley is in prison because she was arrested at Tbilisi International Airport on suspicion of smuggling 14kg of cannabis, which included 34 sealed packages of marijuana and 20 packages of hashish. This quantity far exceeds the legal limit for personal use, and she faces charges for illegally purchasing, possessing, and importing a large amount of narcotics. Under Georgia’s strict drug laws, such offenses carry severe penalties, potentially 20 years to life imprisonment. She was denied bail and is detained in Tbilisi Prison No. 5 pending trial.

After reading above articles and below article it does not look good for Neta. Note below where it says domestics sales (i.e., in China its main market) was only 487 vehicles in Jan and Feb 2025 combined....that's a sure sign Chinese customers fear Neta is going to go belly-up....no one wants to buy a car which may lose ongoing support...become an outcast. I wonder what the actual government "registration" numbers (i.e., sale completed with blue book and red tags issued) have been over the last few months in Thailand for Neta? Bookings/reservations mean little if potential customers get scared the company might not survive and the customers back-out before committing to actually buying. https://carnewschina.com/2025/04/14/neta-auto-faces-escalating-crisis-as-dealers-drotest-at-factory-gates/ Neta’s domestic sales have plummeted dramatically. Data shows the company sold only 487 vehicles in January and February 2025 combined, with no disclosed sales figures for March. These numbers fall well below those of other Chinese EV brands that have already declared bankruptcy or exited the market. Current sales show minimal demand for its model lineup, with the Neta X accounting for just 272 units and the NETA L for 149 units during this period. As its home market collapses, NETA is increasingly pivoting to international markets, particularly Thailand. The company recently announced it received 1,219 orders during the Thailand Motor Show and has set an ambitious target of selling over 10,000 vehicles in Thailand in 2025, aiming to become the second-largest new energy vehicle brand in the country.

CINCDS YANGON, 15 May 2025 — As battlefield losses mount, Myanmar’s military junta is increasingly turning to its air force to maintain control, launching strikes that have devastated civilian areas and underpinned a campaign of fear from the skies. Following the 2021 coup, the military initially held back from using air strikes, believing ground troops could swiftly quash resistance. But as ambushes and retreat became routine, junta chief Min Aung Hlaing gradually loosened control over the air force—transforming it into the regime’s most lethal and unrestrained tool. At first, air support was tightly restricted. Regional commanders had to submit requests through a convoluted chain of command, often stalling under Min Aung Hlaing’s personal delays—particularly during religious ceremonies. Even urgent appeals, like one from Vice Senior General Soe Win, were left hanging as bases fell in the interim. Eventually, decentralisation gave regional commanders authority to call in air strikes directly. Now, battlefield officers can request immediate aerial support, while major bombing campaigns require approval from the elite Joint Operations Command (JOC), led by Soe Win and top military brass. The junta’s warplanes, including Yak-130s and Chinese-made JF-17s, now routinely pound towns in Rakhine, Kachin and northern Shan. In Sagaing, air raids resumed after resistance fighters took Indaw town. Even modified transport planes and paramotors are being used—dropping bombs by hand when purpose-built aircraft are in short supply. Despite international sanctions, Russia and China continue to supply arms and aircraft, helping the regime maintain its air capabilities. Bombs are domestically produced at Ka Pa Sa factories, with major air operations launched from bases across the country, including Naypyitaw and Meiktila. What began as a last resort has become the junta’s primary strategy: deny ground, inflict terror, and shift blame. As Myanmar’s skies grow deadlier, the human cost continues to rise—especially for civilians caught in the line of fire. -2025-05-15
