DEMOCRACY ! That's what Thailand is, .......... Same as Russia, ,,, China, ... N. Korea, .... Venez........

I thought that, that is what ALL Authoritarian Regime leaders are supposed to do, though ?

There are 195 countries in the world, of which 40 % or 78 countries are RHD and drive on the LHS of the road ! There are 195 countries in the world, of which 60 % or 117 countries are LHD and drive on the RHS of the road ! So is Elon giving up on the RHD Sector, {and leaving it to BYD ?} It seems a little strange, since, the Largest Population in the world, is now INDIA and once the preserve of the British Raj, and is RHD. India is developing FAST and will soon get rid of its ricketty Tuk-Tuks {Sam-Lors} ! So is Elon, relying on the forthcoming Robo-taxis, for it's future income ? I've done my share of driving, and getting Taxis, in Bangkok ! Now I live in the NE, where to get to the local village { 3 / 4 miles away}, I use a Motor-cycle ! I passed by the BYD Service Centre a while ago ! Looks like they're up and running ! So, What to do Lah ? BTW, I'm a Newbie here ! I've only been here 25 years !

I think there is a NEED on ALL platforms, for a "FACT-CHECKING", A I Algorithm, to be used on ALL posts, in Whatever Media is used ! This Algorithm can inspect EVERY post for FACTUALITY and comment on the post, INSTANTLY, whether it is accepted for publication or not ! It is NOT censoring the post, but allowing TRUE facts to be stated ! Elon Musk please note !

"A more aggressive strategy would seek to punish, defeat, and reestablish effective deterrence with the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin is a mobster, and Western thinking should acknowledge this."". About time the Politicians got off their FAT A$$E%, in Europe, and pretended that they had BALLS !

""no stupid stipulations about who can run. "" I agree generally, apart from your statement identified here ! EVERYBODY should have their ""Proper Qualifications"" shown ! It's no use placing people in positions in which they do NOT have a clue about the subject concerned ! i/e/ You would not want someone sitting on the Economy Committee, if they only had a Cashier's experience at a Mom and Pop shop !

Follow Russia's proposed New Law, Jail time if childless couples do NOT have children ! This was proposed by a Senator in the State Duma, who is a Single male, and Childless !

Do you follow Konstantin Samilov, on Youtube's ""Inside Russia"", you should ! He's a Senior Economist, who fled Russia, just after the start of the war, along with 1.7 million other professionals, who have now left Russia permanently ! He tells it like it is, from all of his contacts in Russia, and by reading the actual information that is published by the Government ! And it doesn't sound good !

What about the Hermaphrodites who have both Male AND Female attributes ! Of the World population 0.018 % is Hermaphrodite, a rare condition, { but amounts to 1,440,000 persons }. Except in S. Africa, where it is THE MOST COMMON Intersex condition ! { https://www.sciencedirect.com }

"First Place in South East Asia" ! Great, but only Third pace in Asia { ? }, after Taiwan, and Nepal ? ? ? Any-one got a Map ?

It's a good way of getting NEW Resevoirs and Nature attractions built

They are the ones who are pushing for it ! Stay Clean Stu xx

It is WORTH what someone is willing to pay for it ! One might ask, what other adjacent Property / Land, the prospective buyer, also owns !

What is needed is a way of making Politicians and "OTHERS"" incorruptible ! I suggest that ""ANYONE'' seeking to enter parliament, should enter into a 20 or 50 Million Baht bond, to be held against any proven case of corruption ! And that should be for ""ALL"" persons in Government positions ! Knowing that one false step, will not only lose them their MONEY, but also their Position in the Government ! Can anyone see this being enacted ?

For a full expose, I suggest you read "Bangkok 8"" by John Burdett, plus his follow up books !

How many times do we have to check, double check, triple back check, before we can be certain that we are reading a True Bona Fide source of CORRECT Information ?

........... and down the Sukhumvit straight, left at Tong Lor, .............

“Our study found the giant bee migrates to Thailand in March and leaves in July. But if the temperatures on high mountains aren’t cold enough, they might not come back.” The buzz around here is that the Government should install Cave Cooling Plant {CCP}, to encourage them to stay just that little bit longer !

If the USA does revoke his Visa, Does that mean he will become Stateless ? ? DCB ! { Don't Come Back ! }

Just remember Jim Thomson's house { or Houses }, it will be similarly a Souvenir shop and an Historic Venue !

In this day and age of AI and Electronic Money supply coming into being, and the ability to shut down anyone's Bank Account, if they so much as breathe incorrectly. It seems an Obvious Solution to institute an Electronic Green Card System, wherein Immigrants are admitted, { having previously brought all the necessary documentation, to the Border Control }. These immigrants are admitted, on the proviso of constant reporting to Immigration centres, { monthly or 3 Monthly }. so that their Green Cards can be updated, with work situations achieved, and residences acquired ! If after 12 Months { or other permitted period }, Employment has NOT been found, the Green Card, can instruct them to attend an Immigration Centre, or Freeze their Green Card, or any other Sanction, deemed necessary ! If ALL else fails they can be Deported, and their Green Card { which they keep }, will show this ! Immigration can ALWAYS, back check, should they return to a border Crossing !

Absolutely Correct ! More and More countries are going Digital which is enabling them to dictate to the customers anything they want. Withdraw money at Will from your account, Parking fine, Speeding ticket { without proof in most cases }, Control of the Masses, who are without the Masses of money needed to argue !

That's right ! If we get rid of 90% of the population, then the rest of what's left of the population, can start again ! But Hang on ! Isn't Hunting and Gathering doing just the same ? Our population will grow { in say 10,000 years } and the can will have been kicked FAR down the road, and we won't have to worry any more ! Sound's like a PLAN ! Now where did I put that Nuclear Bomb ? ?

See also Tavarish, and his FLOOD submerged, McLaren. He got many parts cheaper, but still cost $US thousands !
