No, this is just your opinion. Trump really wants to make the US better and many people want him to do exactly that.

They have tests for identifying the young lamas.

Do what first?

Do you have anything to back this claim?

It sends a message to the rest of the world that there are laws for other presidents and one for Trump.

Far from done, half of the US can see the false claims.

So no one can say they have never asked advice from a departed father or grandmother, yet criticise this guy for doing so. Double standards.

Was interesting to hear him speak so eloquently, as a country's leader should be able to do.

When was the last time you bought glass here?

If you are referring to me, I stated at the time exactly what I was doing, and certainly didn't brag about anything.

Don't believe? It's the truth - got from ChatGPT. What exactly don't you believe about what I wrote? I urge you to try, self-realisation is quite an experience, I highly recommend it, it's a bit like taking LSD, if you know that.

I got this window replaced last year for 1000 baht, including labour.

In spiritual or philosophical contexts, enlightenment is often associated with concepts of self-realization, transcendence, and liberation from suffering. It is seen as a state of heightened awareness and clarity, where an individual gains deep insights into the nature of reality, the self, and the interconnectedness of all things. This state is often described as a profound inner awakening or realization of one's true nature. In Buddhism, for example, enlightenment (or "nirvana") is the ultimate goal, representing the cessation of suffering and the attainment of liberation from the cycle of rebirth. It is a state of complete understanding and freedom from ignorance, attachment, and delusion.

I was not replying to any post, but the OP. May girls are lured into the Sex trade in Pattaya, with false promises. Are you in denial of that?

Not against her will, but the sexual acts with foreigners, many who are old/stress of the job forces them to find chemical escape. Despite what many think, young Thai woman do not find old foreigners the least bit attractive.

What about Pattaya, there are tens of thousands there! I used to work in a drug rehab place in Isarn, where we saw and heard many stories that most sexpats don't know about.

By whom?

Do you believe that man can become enlightened?

Possibly, but not in a few years. Over 70, you surely have to think the end is near. Sex is the last thing I would hope I wouldn't want/need. I'd hope I wanted to go to a temple, meditate, yoga etc.

I use Audible, great app. Reading 'The Imitation of Christ'.

There is nothing wrong with the 'swatika', it means 'auspicious thing' in Sanskrit, it's the reason Thais say 'sawatdee' - they share the same root. Google 'Phraya Uppakit' who coined the phrase, from Sanskrit 90 years ago.

You need to pay to read that.

So you don't believe in rehabilitation? I did silly things here when an alcoholic, like,,, never mind what but I quit drinking and am a model citizen now.

I wouldn't be more than 1,000 baht to repair.

A lot of perfect people here. Have you never got drunk and thrown something through a window?
