Why do you think that will be of relevance? He's an Egyptian working in Thailand and she's a Thai.

Everytime a farang is charged with a crime, all the others jump out the woodwork to show their disgust and to dissociate themselves from this kind of guy. It's the same with them criticizing alcoholics, drug addicts, English teachers, just self-righteous judgement to raise their own low self-esteem.
These crimes happen all the time with Thais, yet they never comment on it.
It's called the Black Sheep Effect... it's a way of psychologically distancing oneself from a group member whose behaviour threatens to bring shame (or hostility) on the whole group. Makes sense. Of course, the other (simpler) explanation is that this site focuses on crime stories involving westerners because of its readership, and even Thais will be more interested and concerned about crime committed by foreigners because it raises all sorts of questions about how violent criminals get in at the start, etc...

I, personally, don't think Taliban took over the control of the country against USA will. I believe, as USA knows well that Taliban still soke the power, they just allowed them that for some secret deals. Don't forget that Afganistan is close to Russia. Afganistan might become "an ally" against Russia, as before, or China...... I don't know, but certainly their takeover coudn't happen without USA's knowledge, will......
So to the actual subject, For Indonesian groups, there's no way that USA, or Australia for that matter would allow them to take over........
Think you've been watching too many movies. The simplest answer is usually the right one... not the one about powerful cabals operating in the shadows. The US had already largely pulled out of Iraq (remember how Trump betrayed the Kurds during his term). Now it was Afghanistan's turn. These were unpopular places for the US military to be because, unlike in Germany and S Korea, there was active opposition to their presence. It was just a (dumb) political decision that will have long term negative ramifications, it's true, for Russia and China. But also the US. Nobody but the Taliban win in this...

Had to laugh toward the end of the video when a half dozen police officers decide to try to squeeze into a tiny lift along with the suspect and slowly realise 'this is not going to work'.
And here's a pic of them arriving at the scene 30 minutes before:

Thailand’s Total COVID Case Count Now Exceeds That of China?
Statistics Used by the Government Say Yes, Reality Says Likely No
Famous American author Mark Twain once made the now well-known observation – “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.”
That’s probably an aphorism worth remembering today with the news, depending which source is used, that Thailand’s official tally of total COVID cases, now at 93,794, has either surpassed or soon will surpass the comparable official cumulative COVID case total from China.
......
Also consider the fact that Singapore, with a resident population of less than 6 million, has had 60,000 cases. It's a small, easily controlled island, technologically and bureaucratically advanced, with a fairly authoritarian government and a compliant population. Yet they still had about 2/3 the number of cases as China claims. That raises a lot of doubt about China's numbers also. On a positive note, Singapore has only had 31 deaths -- largely due to their excellent health care system and the fact that most of the 60K cases were among young, healthy foreign workers.

Supposedly, there are quite a number of Aussies stranded overseas, though I could not guess how many of them are in Thailand:

I'm not convinced that these sorts of surveys are meaningful. For example, GDP per capita: it would seem to me that it would be also important to consider how that wealth is distributed (gini coefficient), in the hands of a very wealthy few or more evenly spread. We also know that there is a point at which more wealth does not equal more happiness... the curve flattens out. I doubt that's been considered. And what about things like crime rate and personal safety. That seems to be missing. People Singapore, for example, have less political freedom than Americans (and Singapore is much further down on the list), but they don't have to worry about gun crime and a woman can walk the streets alone past midnight without fearing for her safety. So one really has to ask oneself, the people of which country truly have freedom...

Seven years after the crime was committed. Must have been either done in the shadows or else it was very complex. Either way, it clearly required a lengthy investigation before it could be brought to trial and the verdict rendered. /sarcasm-off

Yes.
You are right.
I myself come from a relatively poor family and not one of them (including me) is a sex worker.
Some clean toilets, others work in factories and some drive BMW's and have big houses.
The latter having done the hard work when they were young and are now reaping the fruits of their labor.
Still, not one of them asks me for a penny or sells their bottoms to tourists.
Sure - and you probably come from a country where there are more opportunities for a variety of jobs and you are not expected to help support your poor family. In fact, I notice you were careful to stipulate having a 'relatively' poor family. That would be relative to where you come from, no doubt. I'm sure you didn't come from the same level of poverty some of these girls do; you may even come from a country that has a welfare system that provides a safety net they don't have. So your attempt at drawing a parallel doesn't really fly...
But anyway, why judge in the first place? What harm are they doing?

I know why, too busy having fun!
Am I supposed to feel sorry for him?
Do you really think everyone is cut out for college? Do you really think that people living in rural areas have the schools and the home life that will prepare them for college, especially for degrees that will guarantee them decent paying jobs? In my youth, I paid my way through university by working summers on a GM assembly line -- I was one of the lucky ones. I can tell you that many of the full-timers at GM were perfectly happy with their lives but would have not made it through uni (which does not make them lesser people). And, in fact, quite a few summer students quit university to stay at GM because it offered good money then and there. So don't be so fast to judge people who don't go to university ... everyone has their own route in life

Four possible cases of BA.2.2 Omicron sub-variant detected in Thailand no cause for alarm

Agreed. I'm vaxxed, but I caught it (probably Omicron) back in February. Was like a mild flu (i.e., I've had worse flus)... only some sniffles, scratchy throat, and some shifts in my taste (nothing bad). Took 10 days to test negative again, but for most of that time I felt perfectly fine. I'm 60. My 75 year old friend (also vaxxed) just got over it too. Symptoms even milder than mine. He tested positive Monday last week and tested negative 4 days later. He could have been walking around asymptomatic. I think there are many, many people walking around with the 'bug' without knowing it. We're all going to get it at least once ... can turn the fear down a few notches.
