Can anybody please clarify what this pink card is about? I have a Thai work permit since many years, SSO paid by the company, but I don't remember any pink card. Thanks.

In my renovation the professional builders used no post at the corners. They used posts on the door frame. This is just FYI. I don't know the reasoning why they did what they did.

I wonder how many tourists booked already and will now be disappointed?

How f#%#%ing stupid is it to risk being arrested for 200B?

That reminds me when I checked in there about 1994: A hut or two were the "terminal" and the fire engine was watering the plants. Very idyllic.

There is a reason why they don't let me vote in the USA. 😉

People like Ben Shapiro have many followers.

Yes. But, looking how Biden selected the vice president, most important she must be black and female, is definitely something to keep the left in his party happy. I wonder how people would look at Biden if he would tell the extreme left more often that he won't support their nonsense. He would lose some voters on the left, but he would probably win some centrist voters. And where would the extreme left go? Nowhere.

I don't know the details and I don't care enough to check for them. But, in general, insurance companies have contracts with lots of conditions. And if those conditions are not met, then maybe they will not pay for a claim. So, in case that people violate those conditions, what is better, that the insurance company cancels the coverage or that the insurance company continues to collect the money but then refuses to pay?

Probably that is what she wants. Otherwise, she has to look for a taxi and can be sure to be overcharged. And we know what happens next.

Maybe soon she will be arrested because she didn't update her address from hotel X, room Y to hotel X, couch in the lobby.

Biden is POTUS, this is why he does what America does. The USA supports Israel unconditionally since decades. All American presidents did that, from both political parties. I understand that many criticize Biden for the unconditional weapon deliveries to Israel. But we all should not make the mistake to think the other party and the other guy who wants to be elected, would not do the same. Remember, Trump was the one who moved the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2018, all other presidents before him recognized that that was/is a bad idea. When there are two candidates and one of them does A that doesn't mean the other guy would not do A and instead would do B. Maybe the other guy does A+.

Maybe next time, before they decide anything, or announce anything, they should think about what they are doing. And because Thaksin's lackeys have problems with thinking, maybe they should discuss their ideas with some real people. But I won't hold my breath about that.

That reminds me that my gf just complained she wants a mirror in our new apartment. I didn't really miss it. 😉

I worry more about the mental state about the tens of millions of Americans who want to vote for a guy with such a huge mental problem. What do they expect? Thoughtful and measured actions? Or crazy ideas and shooting from the hip? It's amazing what so many people want as their commander in chief who can press that red button. That doesn't mean that I think the other guy is perfect. He is far away from perfect. But still a lot better than the nutter.

A million times better than Joe Bidens. That sentence tells us a lot about your mental state.

Yes. Or maybe I live even 10 years longer counting calories and sorting food and eating tofu.

Please tell me who, with that logic, owns the land of North America? And how about Australia? Should the children of the original inhabitants throw out all those invaders?

I think the worst part of this is seeing that about 70,000,000 Americans want to vote for a guy who threatens a judge and his family. What else does he have to do before any of those people wake up?

And you think that is good? Do you think any judge should do something in court to avoid personal harm or harm to his family? Only criminals threaten judges and their families. And those criminals should go to jail for that.

Why should I do that? To fight the invaders and then be called a terrorist by people like you?

No! Please move to America, the land of the free. Maybe to what they call the fly over states. There should be enough space for all of them. It has also the advantage for the USA that they don't have to ship all those weapons such a long way.

And having wild speculations without any supporting facts, what is that called?

Sure. It helps tremendously talking to innocent Thai girls who don't know any English. Apart from that, it's also nice to be able to communicate with the locals. But do expats in the city really need to speak Thai? In international companies people speak English. In international restaurants the menu is in English and the waiters speak English. Now if the maid and driver understand a little English, people don't need to speak Thai. I think it's good to know Thai to understand the people and culture at least a little bit better.

Hamas did not put Israel on the map.
