The only food product recalls I've ever seen in Thailand was a few during the melamine in milk issue, when some baby foods and other milk products were recalled. Big contrast to US or UK where there's typically 10 or more recalls a day.

Because he will let them have Ukraine

A few years ago I did that mid-life crisis thing of riding a Harley across North America, and based on the people I met, I think Trump will win. Everyone I met on my trip was friendly and hospitable, but the standards of education, critical thinking and international outlook was much more divided than we see in Thailand. The more 'worldly' outlook was confined to the coastal regions of the East and West, and that big region between the coasts was very different. As foreigners we're exposed to the people and culture of the East and West coastal regions, but the rest of the country is very different, and that's where Trump gets traction.

When did Kathmandu become part of India? I think Nepal may want their capital back.

Yes, the same airline never paid the promised refunds when they cancelled flights during COVID. Untrustworthy business with poor customer service.

I heard the same dog also found a million baht left in a taxi and returned it to the owner.

Well yes, he should certainly be on the 'not allowed to breed (yet again)' list. There should be an IQ test before anyone is allowed to have kids. And the planet is not running short of humans, so set the bar high.

Unfortunately smart people are having few or no kids while the uneducated breed like rabbits - causing reverse evolution through survival of the dumbest.

Looks like UK has a 1984 style propaganda department. And the official 'Newspeak' language will replace words like 'Islamic terrorist' or 'radicalised' with 'mentally ill' and 'abused'. "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered".

Not keen on her 'music' as part of Black Pink or solo .... but her collaboration with DJ Snake was pretty good. But no (credible) denying that she's a very well known international star. Although has she agreed to the event, or is this wishful thinking by TAT? Also .... which Bangkok countdown, surely not Central World - which is dangerously overcrowded. Icon Siam perhaps?

So if the powerful people who protected the illegal scheme in return for huge bribes (presumably senior government officials) step back and allow the Minions to be prosecuted, they will be left alone to enjoy their 10 Bn THB of other people's money? No wonder corruption is endemic .... if you're corrupt enough you are immune to prosecution.

The GWM Jolion hybrid looks to be a good deal at the moment. Price just reduced too, although no third row of seats. Seems to be lots of GWM dealers too. For family transport the new Toyota Innova looks great, but it's over 1 million. I'm also looking for a replacement for my X-Trail. It's been a great car, and as we visit farms the 4X4 capability is useful. The trade-in price was a bit of a shock though. Our X-Trail has been well cared for (still looks new) and always main dealer serviced, but dealer only offered 200k for our 6 year old low-ish mileage car. I checked used prices against Toyota, and while the price drop was less, the discount given on the original new price for the X-Trail (compared to zero discount on Toyata at the time) makes the depreciation similar .... so I think it's the fall in the used car market rather than brand specific depreciation.

Cuba, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE .... it's an even bigger joke than I thought, and not very funny.

I think there will be some enquiries, resignations and even prosecutions of senior management at Harrods. How much did they know about his illegal acts committed at his places of work?

The UN is an expensive joke. They are powerless when action is needed and powerful in matters of no importance.

Bank App on phone most times (and more now 7-11 will accept it) but still tip in cash at restaurants.

"Authorities are taking steps to prevent future incidents" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately because the majority of people receiving the handout will be in debt, it's inevitable the 10,000 THB will end up in the hands of loan sharks. But they must have known that when they proposed the vote buying scheme.

To be a truly great song, I think it needs to be more than the music alone .... it needs to make a statement, change people's views, it needs bravery and purpose.

Saw them play this at the Knebworth concert - not long before the tragic crash. The Stones were also there .... and we thought it would be their last concert.

.... because the news reports selected by the AN team are chosen to drive traffic. News about Islamic extremism triggers the British members and news about Trump triggers the Americans. And we fall for it every time.

True ..... but I enter via 'latest posts' as I want to see what's being discussed about Thailand and what's going on. If I entered via a specific section I'd miss out on other topics. And many of the Trump posts are in other sections .... news obviously, but he even ends up in threads about other topics.

I, like many members, do not access the AN via specific forums. I go to the latest posts view ..... and mostly all I see is Trump vs Harris name calling.

The reason I use the forum much less (after more than 10 years as an active member) is because it's dominated by pointless Trump/Harris posts. Nobody will ever say "you know, you're right, I never thought of [add name of US Presidential candidate] that way" .... it's just playground level name-calling. And every post, even if it's nothing to do with US politics, will have a Trump or Harris reference in it. Give it a damn rest .... nobody f-ing cares anymore.

In a conflict where both sides are so clearly in the wrong, it must be difficult to tread the fine line of 'unbiased reporting'.
