True, so why the useless PR of going out to inspect. Inspect what and who?

I just drove by Nongprue two dozen men women dress up photo op under tent with frw giant fans. 

Hot so what is the excuses for christmas and new years 

It's like so much here - just for show!!!!!

This must be big joke replacement. I see lots of tents out but no one in sight.

I just spent 7 days on the road, Pattaya to Tak and back lots of tents and cones but no inspections.

 

At one point heading Hwy 1 outside of Bangkok, traffic slowed cones out to merge through a single lane but no one was out checking 

It's just too hot!!!!    Why would they leave an air-conditioned building to stand outside in this heat?😀

Does anybody know if UroFlow (tamsulosin 0.4mg) is readily available over the counter in a Thai pharmacy without prescription?

I would be grateful for a sensible response.

Yes.    Should be about 1,050 bt for 1 box Harnal Ocas 0.4 mg - widely available OTC.

I wonder if they will un-freeze British Expats pensions

Do the Thai's have any input into whether the UK should unfreeze pensions for their own UK pensioners??

Not really. 2 bald guys going to Thailand. Got to be some with the same name.

But on the same flight & seated next to each other??    That's what I call - a coincidence!!

It works both ways.

 

Those that think the issues are only one way are the route cause of the problem.

Please provide proof that any Jews have attacked Muslims in Golders Green, where there are plenty of Muslims living?

That isn't the point being made. If a fundamentalist of either Judaism or Islam were to visit a stronghold of the opposition while in full fundamentalist regalia, would anyone be surprised if they got a bit of "agro"? If they want to dress up in costume in their own areas, that's up to them, but they should be safe enough. However, if they want to go out in the general public, it behooves them to try an blend in a bit. After all, it's only a costume and taking it off doesn't mean that they lost their religion.

What a load of nonsense.   Where is the 'stronghold of opposition' that those terrible people in their traditional garb have infiltrated?   I presume you live in Thailand?    Do you wear Thai traditional clothing & try to 'blend in', or do you wear the clothing that you've been used to wearing for years, from the West??   You're talking absolute nonsense.

That depends what part of London you go to. Hackney has the the largest concentration of Hasidic Jews in Europe. Spot them a mile off.

And so what?   Are they harming anybody by dressing like that?   What's your dress-code like?

Got to say I don't much like religious bigots of any flavour.

Go around professing to be gods chosen, and the rest of us are scum, and reap what you sow.

Jews say 'everybody else is scum'???    Can you provide ANY fact to prove that statement?

Well, I thought the real Makha Bucha day was today - Saturday but there were no free tolls as I travelled from Pattaya to Bang Pa-in on motorways 7 & 9!!!   Wonder why they're free on a 'substitution day' instead?   Is there ANY logic in this country?

But amidst the drama, Thailand’s tourism industry continues to navigate the pandemic’s aftermath, with locals and expats seizing the opportunity to explore deserted resorts as international travel remains restricted. 

 

what ? 

This 2 year old news!!!!!    It must be a quiet news day for Asian Now?!!!   Why this is being re-published today - only they know!!!!!

With so many accidents occurring every day in Thailand, unfortunately its become all too common.

I'm getting desensitized to it all...... 

That's the unfortunate fact.   The whole country is desensitised & therefore pay little attention to the daily toll of deaths, injuries & unnecessary costs, so it'll just carry-on & on!!   Very sad!!!!!!!

Israel has nor occupied Gaza since 2015. Words have meanings. The west bank is occupied.

I think you made a typing error.    Israel hasn't occupied Gaza since 2005.   Re the West Bank - if you think that Israel has occupied it since 1967, who do you think occupied it between 1948 - 1967??   It was Jordan.   It wasn't Palestine then - it was Jordan!!   The West Bank was originally called Judea & Samaria & 'occupied' by Jews in those days.

Do the police come to every expats address? If you are not a criminal, they have no reason to do that.

  Why would they go to this guys address if he was NOT a criminal, huh? 

Kit gup Samong, Na Krup.

Problem is that 'overstay' is a criminal offence here!!

How about if they are against Bibi killing civilians in Gaza?

or against Hamas killing civilians in Israel???    Why you only tell half the story??

That part is partially true. They killed 792 civillians (the death toll includes those shot by Israeli soldiers, or blown up by Israeli tank shells) and almost 400 Israeli military personnel. The festival was moved to that location only 2 days prior to the massacre on the 7th October. They were not supposed to be there.

 

Interestingly, There had been warnings about from the IDF for several weeks prior to the 7th. IDF soldiers were repeatedly warning that they could see Hamas members practicing to breach the fences and gates. Those soldiers who reported the incidents multiple times were told to stop reporting it, or risk being written up for insubordination.

 

I wouldn't believe their propaganda that they didn't want to attack civilians though.

 

They wanted to take civilians, and always have wanted to take them. They are bargaining tools to get back the hostages Israel keeps in its jail cells - thousands of women and children are locked up without any charges. Indefinite administrative detention, with a military court that successfully prosecutes over 99% of Palestinians. No one talks about little kids and women getting thrown in jail for 'throwing a stone' at a settler/IDF soldier. We only want to talk about the 130 remaining hostages in Gaza. I think we should have sympathy for hostages on both sides.

The difference being that the hostages being held by Hamas haven't even 'thrown stones' at anyone.    They are complete innocents!!    Btw, if you were hit by a thrown stone, it could kill you, especially when those stones are 'fired' by catapaults!

Just on the very day that the automatic passport machines break-down and cause chaos?!!!

I agree 110%....yes Hamas was authorise by Israel's occupation to attack and occupying force. The subsequent butchery by IDF what we already knew about the occupiers and oppressors.

So, Hamas takes their orders from Israel????    Well, that is a new idea!!!    Any evidence for that ridiculous 'fact'?

On 1/23/2024 at 3:17 PM, Brickleberry said:

 

Me too, we agree.

 

However, they will keep doing it until they get an independent state. This is the only solution.

 

Can you agree that Bibi & his right wing pals have been an obstacle to peace since 1996? Can you agree that Bibi helped Hamas become what they are?

There is NO excuse or raison d'être for Hamas's outrageous, barbaric actions on 7th October - NONE!!!!

The link to the full Hamas released statement in English is within this published article on this site. They indeed deny any sexual abuse of Israelis on 7th Oct or the hostages. Despite a mountain of evidence to show it happened including from released hostages.

There is also the 47 minute video shown to a select bunch of journalists but deemed to shocking to show the general public.   This video might well be shown after the war has finished but none of those journalists have queried its veracity.   We should not be giving voice to propaganda from terrorist organisations who have no compunction to say whatever they like without any retribution.
