And what will it change? Will any of his supporters read it or even listen to a 1-minute summary and then change their mind about him? If he cheated and paid no taxes, they will call it "smart".

We keep all areas which we ever occupied and call it peace. Sure, that is in theory "peace talk".

In this case I guess it will be difficult to make a problem for a political party when the unofficial leader in Thailand visits the unofficial owner of the party - because he is also her father. And as far as I know there is no law against visiting a criminal father somewhere outside of Thailand. Political parties and politicians should work for the country. They should not work for fugitive (super rich) criminals, and they should not work for foreigners. In many countries there are restrictions like that, and those restrictions make sense.

I guess I have also somewhere the receipt for the gold chain which I bought. I gave it to my Thai girlfriend years ago. I guess if I split up with her, then she has to give it back to me. She only takes care of it. After all, I paid for it. But obviously the Thai police will not understand this, they hate farangs. It's always the same it this country. /sarcasm off

Shouldn't it be "The famous English singers Sam Smith"?

Do you ever read sentences like: The famous Eddie Murphy? Or: The famous Celine Dion? Because when they are famous then they are famous and people recognize their names, and nobody has to tell them that they are famous...

Just deport all Shinawatras to the desert. Let them play with their billions in the sand.

No, and I don't like drugs. But I listen to the experts. You could try it. There is enough (expert) information out there.

In theory I agree with you. But it seems about 50% of Americans like it like that. They want MAGA and mega liars. Give them a choice and, at least in some states, they vote for the liars. What a strange country.

Legalize it and it will be pure. And the bad guys won't have any incentive to get involved, and there will be less crime and fewer dead people, and and and. And obviously it should not be advertised, and people should not be encouraged to use it.

I remember the time when you needed at least 3 new PCs within 10 years to be at least 1/2 up to date... 386, 486, Pentium... And let's not forget the Voodoo card (with 4MB RAM) - which nobody I knew could afford at that time.

It is obvious who invaded Ukraine and it is obvious Putin should get out and pay big reparations. It's also obvious that Putin won't do that. He can't just say: sorry, I made a mistake. Should Ukraine just accept that part of their country goes to Russia so that Putin won't lose face? I don't think so. Other options? Any? As long as Putin is in charge that will be very difficult. And if he wouldn't be there then the situation would probably get worse.

And that is breaking news? Some people are talking with other people all the time, but they have vastly different ideas. Will anything change by making it more formal?

Is that a surprise for anybody? I think I heard about that the first time maybe 20 years ago. The entrance exam for the corrupt police is corrupt. Yeah, really?

Recently I wanted to clean up the edges of an aluminium profile. I thought I used a file. But somehow, I produced just more edges. And then I googled the problem, and I discovered a deburring tool. It's nothing new, but it was new to me. And it works great. Here is what I bought, with some extra blades. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i330986739-s635796630.html And here is a how-to video: Which tools did you discover which you didn't know existed?

I think it's almost funny when some people try to pretend that there is not a typical gangster/prisoner look. Obviously not all of them are full of (prison) tattoos, but many are. Does that mean that everybody who has tattoos is a gangster: No. Does that mean that everybody who has no tattoos can't be a gangster: No. But sometime there is a typical look for some people. And looking at the picture in the original post we can make a survey if that looks like a nice guy or if he looks like trouble. No points for the correct answer. Or maybe this: If your daughter would come home with this guy, what would be your first idea:

Everything would be wonderful without that war in Ukraine. Blame Putin! Without him all would be perfect. ????

It seems you forgot: Brexit means Brexit!

What's the point of these stunts? Will any homeless person feel much better if one of those higher up politicians does a job which most waitresses can do much better? Do people watch that on TV and think: he is such a nice guy, he cares? If he and many other politicians would do a proper job, then people wouldn't suffer as much as they do. I suggest he should work and actually do something.

And now? Will the Taliban change their action so that the NGOs come back? Or should the west invade Afghanistan to show them how to do things? Or should the west arm Afghan forces so that they can fight the Taliban? Or maybe we should just accept that they do what they do. It doesn't matter if we like it or not. We are not able to tell them how to behave. And IMHO we shouldn't even try. If "the west" is so wonderful then I am sure sooner or later all those savages all over the world will follow our wonderful examples.

Why is that? Do you know the duck test? You could look it up.

What do sexpats do? As far as I know they do business with (mostly) Thais. You deliver X and I pay Y. Personally I don't see anything wrong with that. And as far as I know are most of those visitors no criminals and not overly aggressive. And they definitely bring a lot of money to Thailand.

Once in a lifetime? The way he looks he spent probably more of his life behind bars than outside.

Are there any legal closing times for unlicensed venues? If it is illegal, then any minute it opens in illegal. And what will the authorities do? They can't take away a not existing license. Is that one more of these pubs which have no license for years but somehow the authorities must have forgotten to check that - for years...

Maybe Thailand should introduce a rule that guys who look like gangsters are not let in by immigration. Looking at him, that guy is definitely no quality tourist.
