An Operating Manual for Understanding the Thai Mind
Your post entitled, “The Mnemonic Sediment: An Operating Manual for Understanding the Thai Mind” was most compelling for me – so much so that, for the first time in over six years, I signed up for an account on this ASEAN NOW forum so I could respond to you. First, a bit about myself for context: My Bride of 56 years is from Isaan. We met, courted, and married at Korat during the Vietnam War. I was stationed in the U.S. Air Force at Korat Royal Thai Air Base as a jet fighter mechanic at the time. My Bride was a caregiver at the local orphanage in town. Both my Bride and I were teenagers then. But somehow the initial spark that brought us together, our relationship, and our marriage have lasted the test of time. Once we retired just over six years ago, we moved to my Bride’s ancestral home in Isaan. Although I certainly did not completely understand what I was getting into back then in marrying a Thai, I most certainly understand more about the concepts you have presented here now, and I agree with them. I did not find your post to be too long at all. In fact, I found it just right and most cogent! You have obviously put a great deal of thought and effort into this, and I, for one, really appreciate it! Thank you!! Although I certainly don’t want to upset anyone also on this forum, in reading the various responses/comments to your post, I found most of them to be really sad because they seemed to me to come from folks who either are not in current deep relationships with a Thai or don’t want to understand more about their partner and what makes them “tick”. In my opinion, that is a severe mistake on their part, and they would have been better off not commenting at all rather than being so negative. But, of course, that is just my opinion… -

Middle East Israel Masses Troops Near Gaza as Ground Invasion Looms
You are right Israel are not members of the ICC. However, the ICC asserts jurisdiction over actions in Palestinian territory because Palestine acceded to the Rome Statute. This creates legal and political disputes, especially with recent ICC actions, like the request for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders for actions in Gaza. The ICC prosecutes individuals, not states. The ICC operates on the principle of complementarity, intervening when national legal systems cannot or will not investigate and prosecute serious international crimes. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
And today/10 Aug the wife and I did a over a 300km out & about trip for some Sunday site seeing. It was fairly hot...temp around 35 to 38C during the trip...temp at 37C once arriving back home around 5pm. A/C set to 23C the whole way. Mostly highway speed driving in the 70 to 90KmH ballpark (a few kilometers closer to 100KmH) although we ran into a couple of 15 minute traffic jams where we just crawled along for about 15 minutes. In ECO mode the whole way and I drove conservatively. Left Bangkok with a 100% charge...drove over towards the Myanmar-Thailand border for a round trip of 318.3Km....around a 75Km of this trip was going up and down hills close to the border....some of the hills were pretty steep....beautiful scenery. When we got back home to Bangkok the 2023 Atto Extended range had 22% battery charge remaining with estimated remaining range of 108Km. Per the text I added to the image below that equates to a 426.3Km total range, exceeding the Atto's "WLTP" range spec of 420Km. If I had done the trip in the cooler part of the year like say around Nov to Jan I would have gotten a total range of around 440km based on previous tests I've done.
