I think he can't be officially PM anymore. But he can still control the party.

Thanks, that looks good. I will study it.

I am sure if you would have gone with all of them to a big gold shop and play the big spender, they would have forgiven you.

This "model" obviously wanted her 5 minutes of fame.

Yeah, sure, she was not really involved. It was all the others who told her to go home to her criminal father.

What material is the roof? Some materials, like i.e. zinced steel plates, needs special paint. (But I don't know the details.)

555 Everybody in Thailand knows that the justice system works according to wealth and connections. That is just a fact. I guess if the criminal shuts his mouth and plays with his grandchildren then not much will happen. But if he is suddenly healthy again and opens his mouths too wide like previously, then I like to see what will happen.

And don't forget: Everybody who wants to sell or rent you anything wants a commission. Even if they just said one word to you about it. And the commission is a percent of what you pay. Higher prices = higher commission. Keep that in mind.

That is the part where I always think: What did the tourist expect will happen? That the thugs will go away and apologize that they honked? Or is another outcome more likely? Even if the police will do anything and even if any of the thugs will get punished, that story will never be over for him. From now on, he better doesn't show up in that area again, ever. And for all those who cry victim blaming: It doesn't matter if legally he was right to use that parking spot. It is just stupid to argue with some people. Walk away!

It's all the same. We call it "up-country".

Remember the 17 May 2010...

This is what you can see yourself: And that's how it looks if they open your engine. If you want to rescue your engine, then do it now. It can get very expensive.

The book was written at a time when most girls in Nana had long black hair. This cover photo is from a girl in Angelwitch many years later, when only few girls still had such long black hair

But apparently there are about 70,000,000 Americans who want him.

Long hair. Preferable with ribbons or something like that.

555 My motorcycle shows my average speed, if I like my average over the last 10,000 km or something like that. My average in the middle of Bangkok is about 25km/h - on a motorcycle which has a max speed over 150km/h. So much about what is allowed and what is possible.

Really? I thought they have the EU over there and pensionaries can relocate anywhere in the EU i.e. to a warmer place and still get their health cost covered. At least I think it's like that. But I never looked at the details.

I hope they don't ask you if you voted for Trudeau.

Wow, we agree on something. 😉

Not good, but still a lot better than the orange guy.

I like this cover of Ain't No Sunshine. It's starts in this video at about 4min. But maybe I like the version because I saw this video a couple of years ago when they made it.

I always have to laugh about news like that. Those fights happen in Thailand all the time everywhere. And I am sure if anybody is interested, they are easy to find. But with news like that it always sounds like there was this unique event and the police acter fast and now it's over. Yeah, sure.

Another video. In my experience sometime we use the wrong terms. It's maybe what everybody who we know calls those things, but sometimes they have officially different names. I would first search for pictures for the name you think it is. And when you confirm that that is the correct name, then look on YouTube.

As far as I know at the end of the year an auditor is asked to check the company books (for a Thai company limited). What does the auditor do? After the audit does the auditor decides OK or Not OK? Or something like: Most things are correct but not this and that... ? Does he verify the numbers in the documents or also payments? I.e. does he check if all tax was correctly calculated and correctly paid? Please only reply if you know what the auditor is doing. I am not interested in a guess what you think he might do. Thanks

I think the problem is often that we, or at least I, have too little information to be sure. I.e. Palestinians often complain that Israeli soldiers kill many innocent people. And Israelis claim that Hamas hides behind civilians. I am pretty sure both statements are correct, and they can be correct at the same time. Then the question is how often is it more the case that Israeli soldiers just don't care and how often is it more the case that Hamas uses civilians as shields? Who knows? I am sure there are lots of people who have some guesstimate, but how many know the truth?
