Minimum level of Thai knowledge and language for long term residents
phetphet replied to PomPolo's topic in General Topics
Bulls**t. It depends where you live in Thailand and how exposed you are to the language. Many people that live in the holiday hotspots, where most Thais speak English, can go without almost never being exposed to significant levels of Thai. Therefore never picking it up, or needing it. The only way they will speak it is by taking Thai language lessons. Even half Thai children, if going to English speaking international schools, and speaking only English at home (if the Thai parent doesn't make the effort to speak only Thai to them) will have weak Thai language skills. It doesn't make them dumb. Get dumped in the back of beyond, where hardly anyone speaks English, (or whatever your native language is), and you will be forced to pick up some Thai or local dialect very quickly by necessity. -
Buttered sourdough with Heinz baked beans, or scrambled egg, sometimes smoked salmon, avocado and poached egg, grilled strong Cheddar Cheese. Occasionally marmalade with orange peel in it. This one can be served on toast, but I prefer it on fresh crusty bread: Instead of butter, spread with olive oil, then finely chopped raw garlic, sliced tomatoes, sprinkle with salt.

The Neo-Imperialist was Serious About Stealing Greenland
phetphet replied to Walker88's topic in Political Soapbox
Taking Greenland by military force? Negates any American complaints about China and the Paracel Islands or Taiwan. I wonder how many pardons Trump is going to have to issue when his time as President is up. -
Trump’s $500 Billion AI Plan Leaves Europe in the Dust
phetphet replied to Social Media's topic in World News
You are presuming the government or the capitalist boss will want to pay the now redundant worker anything at all. There will of course be mass worldwide unemployment, so I suppose they will have to pay something to prevent said workers rising up. Or send in the robot police and soldiers. The Terminator might still yet come true. Only recently I was telling our daughter that nowadays, before going to university, students should take into consideration which jobs are less likely to be taken away by AI. -
I don't know how old these prices are, but this might give you an idea. https://www.rome2rio.com/s/Don-Muang-Airport-DMK/Korat-Royal-Thai-Air-Force-Base I would suggest making a prior booking with a taxi service rather than just a waiting taxi at the airport.

I agree. I already stated before that I was wrong, and that it was Thai law enforcement that followed him and made the arrest.

Foreign man goes on rampage in Bangkok hospital, allegedly leaving 1 dead
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Doesn't say whether he was either arrested, or restrained and continues to receive treatment, or whatever happened to him. He might even be back on the street and a danger to others. Come on reporter! let us know. -
As requested. Below is the link to the case I posted yesterday, but if you look two posts down from my original post, you will see that I stated I was wrong about the UK police being involved in the actual arrest.

Buying a new car.........you'd think it was easy

Likely that if she is happy, the OP get's a quieter, easier life than if she wasn't. -
Seems like I was wrong. The UK Police just notified the Thai Police and they carried out the operation. It was even posted here on AN: https://aseannow.com/topic/982244-uk-drugs-baron-arrested-by-thai-cops-on-samui/

I think they can come here to work along Thai Police to arrest international fugitives if they have information on where they might be. I recall a case in Samui not too long ago where someone on the run from the UK was hiding out on Koh Matsum, a small one hotel island off the south west of Samui. His family all flew out to Samui to holiday with him. The UK and Thai police just followed the family from Samui Airport to Matsum and arrested the guy.

So I guess it depends on the price (number of lives, collateral damage etc.) the US government is willing to pay to achieve their goals. In a country where almost anyone can obtain a gun, legally or otherwise, the number of lives lost over this is likely to be much higher than if something similar was carried out in say EU or UK.

I must admit, I know nothing of RPN, but what I have been reading about and watching on Youtube videos recently is what is known as Singapore Maths. This seems to teach young school children to be able rapid solve many + - x / questions in their heads. Below is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXnp__Ni8e0

As a Brit, I certainly wouldn't have voted for that.

I had a similar problem with my Smeg oven. There seems to be a shortage of electronic parts after Covid. Have you tried calling Stiebel Eltron and trying to order the part yourself?

What happens when these other countries retaliate with counter tariffs? It's not as if Europe wants US chlorine washed chicken or additive laced foods and drinks, many of which are banned because of their content.

Thaksin’s Medical Leave Under Scrutiny: Protests Demand Reimprisonment
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I was going to explain why Thaksin deserves his medical record privacy, but the way immigration just dishes out our personal data for other to see or collect on the back of reused bits of paper makes me think again. -
OK Beau.
