  1. One can dream. Khun Chansin.
  2. Open AI plugged into DOGE. Now that will cut waste. Ever watched that movie WarGames?
  3. If he was arrested in Pakistan and mistreated in Pakistan, why didn't he make his claim through the courts in Pakistan?
  4. In other news: Suvarnabhumi airport purchases large stock of Zimmer frames and wheelchairs to cope with expected influx of elderly tourists. This is expected to speed up their passage through immigration, and avoid large queues.
  5. The regular UK Army is under 75,000 personnel. There isn't even enough to defend the UK, let alone another country.
  6. It's not just Pai. Even here in Samui it is chaotic now. High season has always been fairly busy here, but I have never seen the roads this busy before. Journeys that once took ten minutes can now take an hour. Impossible to get a flight to or from Bangkok for days, car ferries fully booked. Uncontrolled building everywhere. So called "Beach Clubs", which seem to be the new trend are popping up everywhere. My only surprises are that there hasn't been too many power outages or water shortages. I dread what will happen when, or if they build the much talked about bridge. It might be progress, but it's not all good.
  7. Reducing school hours isn't the answer, it's what is taught in those hours. Improve the quality of teaching and cut the brainwashing. Stop teaching on a shoestring budget. More exposure to English via media in schools would help. Especially in rural school where the children won't come across English speakers so much. i wonder how many hours are devoted to English lessons each week in Thai government schools.
  8. Good idea. I forgot about him. He is not too far from me. Thanks.
  9. this is the only smart Glass I might ever need: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/drink-up-this-smart-cup-gets-you-cheaper-beers/
  10. Anyone know where I might get one of these batteries on Samui? Smaller than a 1 baht coin. See comparison photo below. A lot thinner than hearing aid batteries. It's for a Honda City remote. I have ordered one from Lazada, but will take over a week to get here. Hoping to find a quick replacement locally in the meantime. I have tried 7-11, and my next stop is the big Lotus by Thai Inter. Hoping someone might have seen or bought one recently. Save me some mileage running all over the place or having to go all the way to Honda Lipa Noi.. TIA.
  11. I agree. But it wasn't done on live TV...as far as I know.
  12. He won't be attending next Monday's meeting due to prior commitments? I would have thought clearing his name would be more important. Public statement to address the issue when he is prepared? Hmmm.
  13. They (Trump and Musk) can do want they want, but the gravitas of the Presidency and the Oval Office does seem to be missing nowadays. More like one of those Hollywood political satires lately.
  14. Please can anyone advise what the score is on taking a PCX scooter on Seatran ferry Nathon - Donsak? Can I just turn up? Or need to book because it's high season? I looked on the website and it says "Large motorbike and rider." Nothing about scooters. TIA
