China Halts Critical Exports as Trade War Intensifies
phetphet replied to placeholder's topic in Political Soapbox
That likely means Trump will really start applying pressure on Ukraine to sign his one sided minerals and oil deal. -
British Fugitive Arrested in Phuket After Violent Brawl in Bangkok
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
There is no longer a British culture. It has been multi cultural for a long time now. -
Does living in Thailand drive you to drink?
phetphet replied to Don Giovanni's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
No. Quite the opposite. I no longer drink alcohol at all. I wasn't a daytime drinker, but I didn't want to end up spending all my days propping up a bar, so I decided to start exercising more. Drinking (dehydration and hangovers) don't really go together with training, so I found it very easy to stop. I wonder if susceptibility to alcoholism is in the genes of some people. -
U.S. Oil Exports Notched a New Record in 2024
phetphet replied to placeholder's topic in Political Soapbox
Look like Canada will be increasing its oil exports to other countries this year, so more competition. -
Poll -- Who will cave first in the momentous China-USA trade war?
phetphet replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
China has learned its lessons from Trump's first presidency. The Chinese have gradually weaned themselves off of US imports, and found alternative suppliers. They have built their own semi conductor industry, automated many factories to lower costs, and massively increased their gold holdings. No one know how much they hold officially, but they are one of the largest gold producers in the world, and they don't export it. They have even created their own BRICS payment system due to the US weaponisation of the Dollar. IMHO they are more immune to US actions than vice-versa. -
Pranksters been arrested farting
phetphet replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Some people need to grow up and learn some manners. I wonder if he has ever taken a clump playing his "jokes" on the wrong person. Unfortunately for Vitali, they don't have the THB500 and a wai get off in the Philippines, so it looks like he may end up doing some time, and he won't be popular with the local inmates. -
Trump Accused of 'Market Manipulation' in Tariff Reversal Shocker!
phetphet replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
And he still isn't happy that they are increasing defence spending as he has often demanded.. Now he is upset that after his threats that he might not defend some EU countries, they are planning to buy less US arms, and spend the increased funding with EU arms manufacturers. -
Tariff pause - Trump IS an idiot !!
phetphet replied to TorquayFan's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Looks like the rumour about the 90 day pause in tariffs, was leaked a little bit too early on Monday. Still, all his cronies will have made big profits on their insider dealing now. What's the betting this 90 day pause will be permanent? -
what apps do you recommend for calling overseas from Thailand.
phetphet replied to stupidfarang's topic in IT and Computers
Not an app, but if you have a Thai phone number, you should be able to buy a discount package for cheap calls. I am on AIS and when I need to call the UK bannks, I buy one of their 003 packages. THB159 for 40mins to UK. Cheaper for some other countries. DTAC and others offer similar. To dial UK you just put 003 in front of the international code. So 00344(0) 123 456 7890 you drop the (0), becomes 00344 123 456 7890 https://www.ais.th/en/consumers/package/international/international-call/003 -

Funny...But true. -
Marched off in a strait jacket, put in a padded cell, and fed Big Macs to keep him subdued.

British Man Arrested After Violent Outburst in Phuket
phetphet replied to Georgealbert's topic in Phuket News
The other day, regarding the girl dancing around after she flipped a car, I said that I hope she wasn't British as we already have a bad rap here. Then along comes another moron to prove that rap is deserved. -
Tony Blair Cautions Starmer Against Retaliation Over Trump Tariffs
phetphet replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Wasn't it him and his crony Brown that sold off half of the UK's gold reserves at the bottom of the market? Fool. Look at the gold price now. -
When you post something EMS and they ask to see your passport, are all your details entered into their systems and kept? If so the hackers likely have my passport details, name, address and phone number. If on a trip to BKK, I go shopping, I normally box everything up and EMS it back to Samui. It's pretty quick, cheap, and saves me having to carry it on the plane.

Why is Canada and Mexico not on there? Still having background discussions? Or did Donald think he might have made a mistake with the closest neighbours.? A bit too close to home if they both turn to China. Canada can make getting to Alaska difficult and expensive, and Mexico is building the Intra-coastal Railway that could be faster and cheaper than the Panama Canal for transporting cargo containers..

Any Teslas on that island? Burn them penguins. Or at least leave some penguin poop on the driver's seat. 😁 -
