Inside the Prison Cell Where Thai Police Chief 'Joe Ferrari' Died
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The schmuck should have sold off a few cars and took it on the lam, living off of the dosh in to old age. He should have been smart enough to keep a lower profile, rather than be Mr Ferrari, and understand that luck has a tendency to run out at times. -
The wound healed pretty damned quick, didn't it? Not a mark. "Everyone is saying it's a miracle, blah blah, the Pope should be visiting him!"

Must Read Ex-Police Chief "Joe Ferrari" Commits Suicide in Thai Prison
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Right. So he was sentenced to die in prison. That was three years ago. Now he has fulfilled his sentence, and he was only in the kennel for less than three years. So he managed to get a reduced sentence? </dark.humor> All those cars, he should have used one to drive down to Singapore. -
Thaksin’s Request to Leave Thailand for Indonesia Blocked by Court

Then there are the old fears about him and his friends in Singapore engaging in rascality. -
What excites you the most about Thailand?

What excites you the most about Thailand? The Nana Hotel parking lot scene, 20 years ago. -
Thaksin’s Request to Leave Thailand for Indonesia Blocked by Court
bendejo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
in 2008 he said he was going to the Olympics in Beijing. Was he really sitting in the bleachers in the bird-nest stadium for 15 years? Why would he be attending an ASEAN meeting, he's not an elected official, he's not authorized to make statements on behalf of Thailand nor make decisions on behalf of Thailand. Especially after he was so congenial and charming at that meeting when he told them at the onset that if anyone mentions Tak Bai he's walking out. Now the T family of politicians is offering apologies for it, I wonder why. -
The way the MAGA leader keeps bringing this up, even at the faux-SOTU, illustrates what he and his fans are really afraid: not trans people and murderous immigrants, but rather the truth busting his stolen election claims. Mueller proved himself to be just another spineless gov't employee, Barr the official bootlick with that joke of a redacted report synopsis. What deserves a good looking-into is the 2024 -- the wealthiest individual in the world contributed $290 million to the MAGA campaign, the question is why? How was that $$$ spent, and what did the declared president promise in return? I have not heard any curiosity about this in US media. DT and EM are not pals. Oh, what about the bonhomie at the SOTU? "That was good television."

Should I stay ou should I go? (Pattaya, Phuket)
bendejo replied to Franck60's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It is worth seeing these places, if for nothing other than knowing what kind of imported things are available should you want them in the future. In Bangkok all you need to do is get out of the foreigner-inhabited areas and shopping areas and it will be almost a culture shock. You might get some strange looks from the locals because they usually don't see farang there. Oh, better not to do this at night. I get the impression the Lao people have a generally good attitude toward the French. They even play bocce. Steer clear of scamming wine bars. And do be aware that the further north you go the colder the winter will be, -
I believe that both Trump and Vance have low I.Q's

Another scam point to watch for is DT talking about a crypto reserve. I suppose this means using real money to buy crypto, and you can bet your last buck there is something in it for him. -

This junk food diet is a ploy to ensure populist favor IMO. Yeah, no end of photo ops of him posing with the stuff. But not many pics of him patronizing the restaurants high-end eateries where he holds court. He also uses food as an intimidation: two incidents I can recall there were photos of him making Mitt Romney eat frog legs at one such restaurant, another more recent was making Bobby Kennedy eat McD's, which I suspect RFK II balked at when the camera was gone. -

When DT talks about waste and fraud it is both ridiculous and sickening. Fraudulent university, selling pictures of himself in a superhero leotards, re-branded cr_p, meme coins, and all his other scams. Oh, and don't forget the gold sneakers. -

The GOP has this thing about touting the brilliant educational achievements of its members, like Ted Cruz, Hawley, and old JD there, for starters. I guess they have to talk about it because it sure as hell ain't obvious. -
DT has already said publicly that he has more trust in Vlad than his country. No discussion necessary. That should forego any further surprise reactions. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44852812

Yeah, Hillary Clinton has two weeks to live; this has been the case since 2016 according to the trash tabloids on display at the supermarket check-outs in the US. And next week is infrastructure week.

You might recall Mitch McConnell being noted for the same discoloration a few years back. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2020/10/23/why-senator-mitch-mcconnells-hand-appears-discolored-here-are-some-possibilities/ If further interested do a search, there are probably better articles.

Someone explained this to me a few weeks ago. Hey, I'm a city boy, to me a chicken is a frozen bird in a plastic bag. The price of industrial eggs has gone up to the range that organic eggs are in. By industrial I mean eggs you buy in a regular supermarket or megastore (like Walmart). The bird sickness has not affected the organic farms (Allahu!). So if they cost the same might as well go for the small farm organic, support local biz, etc. There has also been something going on in various states in recent months that all eggs sold must be cage-free. I have some suspicions about this egg-pocalypse happening at this particular time, but I'm not going to go Bobby Kennedy over it. In other US shopping news the price of coffee is commencing to rise; if you've been watching the commodity markets this shouldn't be a surprise. I wonder if the tariff blackguards are going to make it even worse.
