Dengue as we all know can be very nasty indeed. I know several people who have contracted it here in Thailand but thankfully none have died of the disease. Some have died from the shock of seeing the hospital bill, for no treatment at all, other than paracetamol and drips. It seems, the best idea is not to catch it in the first place.

He was too damned generous, that's his problem. 300 baht a day, he could have rented a wife for that.

Ten quid, in cash.

One of the mystifying, yet understandable issues with Thailand. You announce a strategy a few years back to become the hub, yes the 'hub', of the internet for ASEAN. Of course there is no plan....I mean why would you want literate of numerate graduates? So there is no plan, and as far as I can see, there is not a single website built by any Thai institution that actually works reliably. So repeating myself, there is no plan to make Thailand the ASEAN hub of the internet, I have to imagine that it is supposed to happen by accident. Now I have been trying to make myself the hub of playboys of the world.....it hasn't happened yet but is sure to in the next decade. While I'm waiting to become the hub of playboys, I am going to become the hub of Bitcoin and the hub of EVs

If my wife ordered a hit on me, I would probably leave her and go and live in another town.

Or tattoos or shaved heads

Red lights are flashing on the Thai economy. But don't worry Srettha held his first meeting with his economic team recently. We are sure to get extra gimmicks out of that meeting.

I have a question about costs....are the costs quoted for both legs...or per leg?

You asked for Thai sales and he gave them to you...from a credible source. What's your problem? Why don;t you go on another thread instead, you've contributed nothing here.

These are 1) last years sales 2) a forecast They are not 2024 sales figures.

Far right has become the media's way of describing people they disagree with. Right and left wing designations have fallen apart and outlived their limited usefulness. No one with any sense calls Labour under Starmer, left wing. They are identical on all significant issues to the Tories.

I tend to think that nothing much good comes out of endlessly meddling in other sovereign nations affairs.....but the Neo-colonists can't help in can they? We have same sex marriage so you have to have it to? We no longer execute gays like we did 100 years ago so you have to stop it to. Well you Neo-colonists did the world a =huge disservice plundering the un developed world so why don't you bugger off?

I do love George Galloway, what a man! He and I have identical views, we could have been twins. Yeah go on sneer.

I love this guy. We could have been twins, I swear it. It's an evolutionary dead end.

I lived in NJ for 20 years our so. Never locked my door.

The most common form of censorship is failure to report on a newsworthy item. In this way most people who consume only mass media end up with distorted ideas about world event, and might think for example that the genocide by the IDF is a good idea....or poking the bear in Russia to start WW3 is a good idea. Yes, sadly the world is full of morons who never ask the question why.....why would Putin do that? I am a 100% believer in free speech. With me people should be able to say anything even gross insults, lies and fabrications. Without free speech people are led by the nose. Free speech is necessary to get people to think about what they read or listen to, and ask questions about its credibility. We have been led by the nose into giving up free speech, because this is a major advantage to the politicians seeking to control us more and more. Why is is a huge advantage? Well the politicians control the media in Britain along with the press barons.....that's why, in case you might be wondering, the same story in every British newspaper is written and reads the same way, it is just copied from a government sourced press pack. We have very few journalists any more, most go to the press conference, don't ask any questions and then dutifully have the relevant items from the press pack printing the following day. That's why, just in case you ever noticed why anti-Syrian forces were always (100% of the time) referred to as 'rebels' (yes including ISIS rebels if the DOD wanted a story promoted). Why rebels? Well rebels has a positive side to it in m market research testing which the DoD did before picking that as the designated term for people who set bombs off in the middle of Damascus. About insults. A very intelligent Supreme Court judge (now deceased unfortunately) once said "What is the point of having free speech if you can't insult anybody?" He was a thinker....a species being hunted down with sniper rifles by Government,ents everywhere. Tommy Robinson is not someone I would like to spend an evening with in polite company. But I support his right to say anything he wants about our modern day protected species like muslims, trans people, gays, Catholics, protestants, Chinese, Russians, French, Indians, Pakistanis, blacks etc etc and British people. But I also support the right of reply by these 'insulted categories'. Grow a thicker skin is my advice for the snowflakes who propose giving up free speech. Where would Assange be if free speech was absolute? All he did was publicise the US government committing crimes.

I honestly don't get you people who lack any humanity or morals. Where were you brought up? Who brought you up?

He stands to gain from 'funeral compensation'? Is this one of those hokey insurance scams where you effectively are insuring someone else's life via compensation for funeral expenses. I've never actually seen anyone raise their hands and say "Hey I'll cover the funeral costs with my insurance pay out!"

Too old to fight back, too old to be in jail. Why not retire you schmuck?

Wow a meeting....that will solve the crisis, but how can they fit a meeting in with all of Srettha's travel commitments? And oooh and "to discuss an urgent a short term stimulus measures", that'll be sure to solve the long term economic issues won't it? Nah, let's go back to Italy and discuss silk elephant ties.

How doggone cute these are....

Suicide, if I can maintain my sanity while I am dealing with the cancer. Somehow I think it will be prostate cancer that gets me. There are no heart attacks and not too many cancers in the family (blood relations). Any cancers have been limited to breast and ovarian cancers. On the other hand diabetes is rife....

Less a Prime Minister and more a travelling salesman, while the country falls apart back home while he's earning his air miles.

This makes me sick. If I were czar of all czars, I would introduce the death penalty for usurers with rates over 15% pa.
