Just Landed in Bangkok – Where Should I Start?"
It doesn't get much cooler than it is now. Many Thais are almost freezing. I suggest get a nice massage and relax. You can choose between the traditional massage and the not so traditional - up to you. Sukhumvit Road, at least lower Sukhumvit, is full of tourists and all the sellers who sell to tourists. If you don't want any of this, then go to another place. But be aware that in the not so touristy places fewer Thais speak English. And in the tourist areas you will be able to get tourist spicy food (= not spicy). In Thai areas you will get HOT Thai food. Can you handle that?

Britons Overwhelmingly Support a New Grooming Gang Inquiry
It seems there was a long and detailed inquiry, years ago. And lots of changes were suggested by that inquiry. And until now it seems few of those suggestions have been implemented. Who asked for another inquiry before Musk opened his big mouth? Who knows the details of the inquiry which was done already? It's always easy to jump on a popular bandwagon without knowing the facts.

Who says......
In Thailand people should always be aware where they drive or walk. If people are careful, and not looking at their screens, then this is not really a big problem.

House Approves Sanctions on ICC Over Netanyahu Arrest Warrant
Should they also be lauded for killing thousands of innocent people, including thousand of children? Few people complain that Israel fights terrorists. The problem is the so-called collateral damage - tens of thousands of innocent people.

House Approves Sanctions on ICC Over Netanyahu Arrest Warrant
Including their new criminal president. But obviously they want law and order for all the others. It would be funny if it wouldn't be so sad.

House Approves Sanctions on ICC Over Netanyahu Arrest Warrant
The American House of Representatives did that. Maybe that should also be part of the headline. As usual, for the powerful Americans, Jews and Israel can't do wrong - by definition. And obviously that doesn't mean Jews and Israel are always wrong, certainly not. But whatever they do, the Americans will support them. And then somehow some Americans are still surprised that the rest of the world despises them.

Building a house in Thailand
Almost all my tools are 18V Bosch, including an angle grinder, a SDS Hammer (GBH 18V-26 F) and a circular saw. At least for all the work which I did until now they have enough power, and I was/am surprised for how long the batteries last before I have to recharge them. The only mains power "tool" which I bought was a Festool dust extractor. I would buy them all again, they work great.

EU Faces Growing Pressure to Confront Musk Over Alleged Electoral Meddling
I wonder how many people in Europe listen to the Trump-supporting Musk. I agree with Olaf Scholz: ‘Don’t feed the troll’

Yes, that sums it up nicely.

Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion?
Do you know the difference between Biden and Trump? Bidens mind was pretty good some time ago. And then it wasn't good anymore and the DEMs decided to remove him as a presidential candidate. Trumps mind was never good. And it got worse, and worse. And for whatever reason Americans then decided that idiot is the perfect candidate to represent them. That tells us a lot about those American voters.

Here's Your War Monger, MAGAs
Thank you. It's good to know that 70+ million Americans think a president should act like that. Amazing, and very sad.

I always have to laugh about that "again". Again, like when was it great the last time?

Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion?
I have no hope that he will ever understand that. I had some hope that the majority of American people would understand this. But it seems over 70,000,000 of them also don't know what that is. That problem is much bigger than the fact that the orange one doesn't understand it.

Building a house in Thailand
Almost all my tools are battery powered - including heavy duty tools. No problem. In case I would move to another country with different power I would only need to buy one new battery charger.

I bought most of my Bosch tools from this company. I have very good experience with them. TCL TOOLS Sales & Services - Assembly of Perfection https://tcltools.com/en/

Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion?
By now his supporters probably don't expect facts or logic. He rambles and they like it. It's like a religion.

Read the headline: Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion?

Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion?
Are you surprised by any of this? He is an ahole, since many years. Nothing about his behavior is a surprise to anybody watching. It would be a surprise if he would first collect the facts, then think carefully, and then talk.

How to Get a Thai Driving License with Just an International Driving License?
I suggest go there in person and ask. Some time ago I looked at their website and try to do everything exactly according to what they want. And then I visited them and half the things I did were not necessary but cost me time and money.

Strange and annoying things here in land of smiles
I mostly use Thai, English and a picture. The picture probably from the website of their own shop. And they often still don't know anything.

Here's Your War Monger, MAGAs
Ok, fine. Let's just accept that is as the truth (I don't know enough about the situation). So, the USA would like to have more military assets in Greenland. Ok, understood. And what is the best way to do that? A message on X or Truth or whatever that the USA wants to buy Greenland? Sending his incompetent annoying son over there? If he would be serious, then he would wait until he is president and then his government would approach their government, and they would talk about possibilities for US weapons in Greenland. And I guess they could come to an understanding - why not. But Trump is different. We will buy Greenland. And/or he is willing to use the US military to get Greenland. Strange. Maybe someone should give him the book How to win Friends and influence people. I don't have much hope that he will read it, I have even less hope that he would learn from it. But we must continue to try.

Maybe you understand it. Many of us, me included, try to understand what he says, and we try to make sense of it. But because he is lying all the time and is inconsistent all the time it just doesn't make any sense. If you think you understand him then please explain his current rumbling about the Panama Canal and Greenland. Does this make any sense? What do you understand? Or he is just an ahole who talks a lot without thinking? Maybe his fans think this is entertaining, but the rest of us think: Why does he do that? It doesn't make any sense. Do the people of Greenland want to be part of America? NO! So, case closed. Shut up.

He lost the plot
That is a good point. It seems many Americans wants a president who entertains them. Who will be able to explain to those people that being president is a serious job?
