  1. A national culture is irretrievably broken when the ethnicity of rapists hampers the criminal investigations.
  2. Possibly. The thrust reverser sleeve appeared to be open, but what if that engine was not working? And maybe the engine damage earlier caused the sleeve to open. Also, if one engine had reverse thrust and other had forward thrust, wouldn't the aircraft turn violently? So tragic and worrying if a single bird strike could cause this disaster.
  3. Because that's not what discussion forums are for. We see distressing and puzzling events and it's natural to want to discuss the event. You could say why post here at all - just read the final crash report late next year and in total solitude.
  4. This is an intelligent review of current information by a former pilot. As mentioned in posts above ... the solid concrete support for the radio equipment looks to be a major factor in the deathtoll.
  5. Potentially, second hand EV's are a good buy ... especially if your daily trips are short and you have home charging facilities. If EV's have high depreciation, that's good for second owners especially f you plan to keep it a while.
  6. Is there any way they could forget to lower the landing gear - surely there's an automated warning in the cockpit? I wonder if the gear was down for the first attempted landing?
  7. .... or do a Sully and land on a river. Short runway - not giving the poor souls on board much chance.
  8. The Golden Giraffe in Soi 11 and good live bands, Saxophone near Victory Monument good for Jazz. Climax in Soi 11 also has good late night live music, but there a working girl or two, or three, or perhaps 20. Hilary 11 also decent but insanely loud.
  9. Maybe you missed the word 'unsolicited' or perhaps you're projecting your own experience with women, but whatever the reason you're determined to be negative, and that's your choice, but it does not reflect my personal experience in Thailand.
  10. Thai people are not shy about commenting on the perceived beauty of a girl, so it's common to get regular, unsolicited confirmation about a partners looks. Mines a good 9.5 to 10 in Thailand and off the scale when I take her to visit my country. But she also has a pleasant character (for 3 weeks out of every 4 anyway).
  11. The OP mentions the possibilities in Thailand - so surely the aim should be to find a 10 with the pleasant character of a 6. I found a 10 (11 in my view) with a nice, caring nature ... and she thought I scored just high enough to not scare the street dogs - and we've been together over 10 years. We met via work rather than on-line though - so maybe that helps?
  12. The HiSo Thai people used to admire the British until the old British Embassy was sold off to Central, now we're a laughing stock. I think Thais in Tourist areas tend to group all 'falangs' together - so do not differentiate between Russians, Germans, Brits, Americans etc, and we're seen as marginally preferable to the mass tourism Chinese/Indians but not viewed as highly as Japanese or Koreans. Thai social media has created a poor image of Chinese and Indian tourists.
  13. Cycling would be better.
  14. Shouldn't the term be a "transman"? A Pontiac Transam isn't called a Transmexico just because it happens to be going South. And you're right, the last paragraph has nothing to do with the story and linking the two is just wrong.
  15. After reading the OP and other replies, I feel embarrassed to say my childhood was great. As forces kids (sons of a pilot), myself and my 2 brothers moved homes and often countries every few years, so we learned to mix well and adapt. Air bases and the hinterlands that surround them are a wonderland for active kids - burnt out aircraft to play on, woods full of adventures - during the school holidays we'd go out at dawn and return battered and bruised from our adventures just before nightfall. I'm amazed all three of us lived to be old .... falling out of trees, off makeshift rafts, blowing stuff up with home made explosives, riding knackered Honda 70 field bikes then later, leaky old twin cylinder road bikes. Dad was away often (Cold War fighter pilot, then later V-bombers) and our Mother ruled with fear and the odd back hand slap when we didn't run fast enough, but we were always well fed, well dressed and cared for .... tough love. It was a blast, and set me up for my later travels that brought me to Thailand via India.
  16. The only way to stop this trade is to stop giving free money and accommodation to illegal immigrants.
  17. Great advice. I believe I found one so caring, devoted and searingly hot, she's worth the commitment, but her family!!!
  18. They could also charge VAT (Vaginal Added Tax)
  19. Taxing the oldest profession would raise more money than trying to tax foreigner's pensions.
  20. Just find a new girl with bigger boobs and a shapely but.
  21. First option is closest to my circumstances .... I already have a TIN as I pay Thai tax on my work in Thailand. But I'm not sure about completing the form sent by K-Bank, as I've not heard about any other banks asking for this. Also, I pay tax in Thailand on my Thai income, and have paid years of tax in my original 'home' country and complete an annual tax return there, so I'm not keen on encouraging taxation of any home country funds I may transfer here. I've already paid for the accommodation of several boat loads of illegal immigrants in my 'home country' and paid for a submarine or two in Thailand, so I think I've done my bit.
  22. I think your 'meter' is designed to detect the WIFI frequency, as it's purpose will be to set up WIFI networks. If it really detected all electro magnetic fields, it would show that your house is an overlapping mass of radiation .... electrical wiring, TV, chargers, phones, fridge motor, AC compressor, microwave oven, your laptop etc etc.
