  1. No sources are neutral, and social media algorithms focus your feed on your natural biases, so you need to select sources with opposing views plus obvious bias and the 'truth' is down the middle. Fox and CNN are a good pair for this. Or BBC and GB News. Surprisingly, CGTN looks to be fairly neutral for international news about anywhere except China, so is an option if you want a single source.
  2. I'm not so sure ..... After some Constitutional Court actions and coalition negotiations, the same people will be in power, and my bet is Anutin will still be PM.
  3. Hope she survives her injuries. I have wondered if you could escape a burning building by jumping into the pool. Just did some Googling. The record for a high dive into water was 58m and he hit the water at 120 kph. The 25th floor is likely to be about 80 m, and the pool will not be very deep, so not a good escape method unless you're on a much lower floor.
  4. So I'm wrong because you say so? 🤣🤣🤣
  5. This is part of an invasion, illegal, unwanted. This group was unlucky, all other groups were lucky the local Navy is too woke to do it's job.
  6. And they enter having obtained a valid visa in advance, bring money into the local economy, add new skills and claim no benefits. They mostly tend to adapt to the local culture rather than expecting the locals to adapt to their medieval beliefs.
  7. My '73 CL90 had been left standing for a few months with half a tank of fuel. I think that, plus it's age, resulted in the severe rust. Fortunately new tanks are available from Indonesia. The rest of the bike looks new
  8. Yes, but India introduced new high value notes. And it didn't stop corruption, it was just paused for a few days, and because the corrupt politicians had to dump their old currency, they demanded more payments to replace their lost wealth.
  9. Inconveniencing 99% of the population and 100% of tourists because they can't (or won't) tackle corrupt government workers and politicians.
  10. Quite hard to find now ..... I have a '73 Honda CL90 Scrambler and had to replace the tank due to rust caused by the ethanol holding water, I used to find it at Caltex, but not anymore in my area. I'm going to sell my classic because it's too high maintenance now.
  11. Photos of unobtainable (to me anyway) models and actresses Vs the real woman who's just as attractive and in my life..... No contest.
  12. And presumably an offence under the Computer Crime Act to make the video and circulate it? Also unsportsmanlike conduct.
  13. So I guess the 'thumb down' votes are out of jealousy from people who are living in a nightmare?
  14. This comes close for me .... The super hot girl I fancied 15 years ago is still beautiful and still with me. She's utterly faithful, devoted to looking after me, helped build our home and build our business, and being 24 years younger than me, she still looks young to me. Only slight negative that may fade the dream a little, is she snores 🤣
  15. Small thing .... But made me smile. The battery in my car key was flat and car wouldn't start, so I walked to a mall and asked a young guy in an electronic store of he can change the battery. My Thai is OK, and I thought I was asking clearly, but you know the way some Thai people can't understand a falang speaking Thai as they just don't expect it .... so he had no idea what I wanted. I said 'mai pen rai' and moved on. He must have processed what I was asking about a while later, and he left his shop and searched for me. I was still wandering around trying to find a shop with the right battery, when he came up to me and said in Thai ... 'your car key is empty (mot) right? There's a guy who fixes them in the basement". He took the effort to find me and assist - a small gesture that made my day.
  16. There's two options for people owning guns .... 1. You're planning an attack on innocent people so you'll definitely be keeping your guns or 2. You're a citizen who wants to protect your family from the nut jobs who are planning to attack you, so you'll definitely be keeping your guns. So the police PR squad will have library photos of a few old duffers handing in their Boer War blunderbuss's and claim it was a great success.
  17. But without enforcement it's of no value. No country is interested in stopping illegal immigrants from leaving.
  18. I reckon Thai ladies eyes are the nicest, and perhaps the remark was made out of jealousy. These eyes, for example, were photographed over my dining table .....
  19. Yes, it's required by the State in China to display mock outrage to demonstrate your patriotism. A quick poll of the 8 Thais I'm working with this morning .... 0 give a damn, they have real issues to concern them.
  20. Most of them ...... and 'white ghost', and let's not mention "falang kee nok" 😁
  21. Did the Pope, or any of the Catholic church, call for an attack? You are trying, and failing badly, to defend the indefensible, but you've dug your hole and you will keep digging despite the overwhelming evidence that the world has a major problem with a particular religion.
