Police Officer and Her Two Daughters Found Dead in Bathroom
retarius replied to Georgealbert's topic in Central Thailand News
Can't say I have ever heard of anyone dying of fumes of caustic soda? Ingesting it, yes. How about opening a window or door, before using it? Especially if you are coughing and have your eyes turning red raw. -
Former School Director Sentenced to 250 Years for Corruption Scandal
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I'm willing to bet that the substandard meals are related to TEMU and China in some way. 250 years what a joke. -

Substandard Chinese Goods Flood Thai Markets, Cause Alarm
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not a single article about these substandard Chinese goods has ever given an example of what the goods are. kinda think that the factories closing down are making more expensive versions of cheap Chinese goods. Thailand, wanna succeed? Invest in quality. -
The medical profession has, despite its incredible hubris, turned out to be wrong about a lot of advice they dole out. One example is the latest big news is that taking statins to lower LDL don't turn out to have the massive benefits the station manufactures claimed. Turns out that LDL has important roles in the body and that lower isn't always better. Heart disease is a major killer of western men but I always wait a few years before incorporating medical advice into my life. Statins are a good example. I am a diabetic and so had a low target. My physician, a specialist in diabetes at a major hospital, put me on Lipitor 80mg plus some anti-triglyceride medication (high trigs are a feature of diabetes. Anyway, I wound up with an LDL of 29 mg/DL, she told me to cut Lipitor 80mg down to 10mg and I decided she didn't know WTF she was talking about. Some years later I feel vindicated.

AIS SIM is eating up all the money you top up
retarius replied to AnotherOneHere's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I've had this problem with AIS....but only when roaming. I complained about it, they did nothing, so I changed to True. But, same useless service abroad. -
Government to Crack Down on Low-Quality Chinese Imports

How about cracking down on low quality Thai made goods as well. -
People’s Party Surge: 84% Would Vote Today, Poll Reveals
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I tend not to take much notice of polls so far away from the election, but this is astounding. I hope the EC and CC take note of these results. When they ban parties they might not get the result they are hoping for. -
Dusit Poll Highlights Thai Political Pessimism as Govt's Rating Plummets
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I sincerely hope I will be dead by the time this 'rise up' happens. It will be a blood bath. -
Many US polls are faked and paid for by the parties themselves. BUT Trump looks like he is going through the motions and has given up. He will be further behind after the Dem conference later this month.

OP....a stupid fool. You were here 9 months, she was here 10 years. WTF do you thing she would do, if you could think.

But Trump seems to have given up. He looks like a beaten man.

Major Casino Firms Eye Investment in Thailand's New Complex
retarius replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why on earth don't they put a local player in, instead of all these thieving US and Chinese sharks. Should the profit come into Thailand to be taxed, not shifted away by sleight of hand to some other jurisdiction. -
Thailand anticipates 9.39 billion baht from Mother's Day tourism
retarius replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Are they really so sure it is 9.39 billion and not 9.4 billion or 9.38? Fools. And just to quote the obvious internal tourism doesn't bring any money into the country. -
Visa-free entry for Chinese nationals has many consequences

At your age: Do you still take life seriously?
retarius replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I am early 70s, functionally disabled and in poor health since my COVID attack. I do take my life seriously but recognise that I will not be around too much longer. I've no regrets, and no heartache, I will be grateful for the rest that I get when I die. I find our times totally bizarre and hate all the lying in all walks of life. I'm sick of liars I got tired of boozy friends and don't imbibe any more or socialise, all the talk of football and sports bores me to tears. I like spending intense time with my Thai wife and doing things together. As for a solitary hobby it is reading. Frankly, I have travelled everywhere I want to go, seen all the concerts I want to see, seen all the operas I want to, watched most of the movies I want to watch, got drunk with 'mates' probably thousands of times; and I feel I have done enough to last me a lifetime. -
Russia’s Summer Offensive Fails to Deliver a Decisive Blow
retarius replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Ukraine
You can always tell a western propaganda piece it always calls the SMO a "fun scale invasion." Every newspaper in Britain and the US uses the same terminology, that has been tested in market research. There are several other terms used, one being "unprovoked" to describe Russia's provoked and limited scale invasion of 4 oblasts. -

UK the land that invented double standards. -
I think Trump has a quiet chuckle to himself when he sees the IDF shooting unarmed children and women. He thinks it is hysterical.
