  1. The big mistake is thinking the BRAINTRUST IS CLUELESS This is far fromt he truth. The Braintrust knows twhat it is doing. They want Thailand to be like it was in the early days where the people were smart enough to work for the THAI companies and not get too far ahead. The big families want to maintain control and the ony way they can do that is to control what students learn and what comes into the country. This is a country that is still run on a version of teh feudal system where the people at the top have the people below working for them and dependent on them. The people at the top do not have to pay taxes to the extent that they should. If they did there would be property taxes for land owners that own land that is unused. Kid yourself not even the middle class is controlled by the Elite families through debt and jobs. As long as companies have to have 51 % Thai ownership the people working for it are under their control. Insead of teaching Thais how to build houses they would rather bring in Cambodia or Laos workeers. Why because it is cheaper and they don't have to provide as much. No saing that the Thai braintrust is clueless is definitely wrong and a gross mis understanding of thailand
  2. F1 has a 2 week window between races, The European races are more important as that iw where they have a larger base. Right now the only track that is F1 approved is Buriram and there is no way Thaksin will allow that to happen. The only thing that has been granted by F1 is for Thailand to go ahead with invetigating if it could hold it. Looking at what it brings to the city and is there a surface that the F! will authorize, They also need sponsors to pony up the 36 million at least that is needed
  3. The challenge that the Thai auto market has is that it is pricing itself out or being priced out of competitoin by other countries. we know that thai tarriffs are high But I think that is easily sovable. lower the taarriffs and see how many people buy a Ford or GM. Same with the wine and spirits. The prices will still be much higher than the local vehicles or the spirits. The other side is that while that number may seem huge here is where they export mainly to. Exports In 2023, Thailand exported $12.2B in Cars, making it the 17th largest exporter of Cars in the world. At the same year, Cars was the 4th most exported product in Thailand. The main destination of Cars exports from Thailand are: Saudi Arabia ($1.79B), Australia ($1.61B), Philippines ($1.47B), United Arab Emirates ($1.06B), and Vietnam ($868M). The fastest growing export markets for Cars of Thailand between 2022 and 2023 were Philippines ($596M), Saudi Arabia ($586M), and United Arab Emirates ($236M). https://oec.world/en/profile/bilateral-product/cars/reporter/tha
  4. Hey actually that is a great idea have a FORMUAL T race as one of the add ons. Whohas the fastest tuk tuk in the world you could even break it down to electric and gas powered. Seriously here is a better and more realistic an honest take on what happened. Note there is no talk about chatchuchak but they do mention Buriram. Bet that would get Thaksin in a knot and imagine how happe and in your face Newin would be. https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/czx72ln9pypo#:~:text=Formula 1 chief executive Stefano,in the capital from 2028. The other question becomes which track is gong to lose F1 we know they are in love with North America so those races are out Singapore is a hit, so who gets the axe?
  5. The biggest difference is that in most child rapes the child is unable to make or understand tht things are wrong. So I will simply ask If a guy rapes a 3 year old girl is that any worse traumatically and physically to that of an adult. BTW the charges against these rapists werenot brought by ICE they were brought by local law enforcement that is the oly way you would go before a judge for bond. As to letting them see a judge to decide sure but that should be BEFORE they enter the country. Beleive me when I say that law enforcement does it's homework before arresting anyone on gang related charges. ICE only knows about them because they have some to Law enforcements attention. For an idea of how the system works Check out Grady Judd and Polk County police.
  6. Beleive me in Elsalvafor they will get all they need. The only better place would be in a max facility with nurders and thesives that are lifers. Cild rape in Prison is right up there with snitch
  7. You did not read the whole thing. The only way you get bond is if you are arrested. IN THE USA Forget about whether they are legal or illegal DO you think that someone charged with multiple rape of under 14 should be walking the streets with no control The bottom line is that these are people that have broken the law in the first place by being in the US illegally. Now, they have compounded it by committing a crime and getting arrested. I suppose also you think that MS13 and TDA are simply social cubs where people drink coffee and play tiffly winks What should be done in your view
  8. This is why I had a professional do mine I make sure that I am legal and don't have to worry abut the changing guidelines and rules. OP to might be an idea to check most of the companies will give you good advice.
  9. Give me a break she has very little power and the PTP is only in power because it was the least disruptive of the 2 choices. Big money had no hope of controlling the PP so they agreed to assist the PTP. Anutin knows he can not win an election on his own. He also knws that the military has lost all power once the next election is held. They no longer will have the Senate to bail them out. This has little to nothing to do with PTP power compared to all the money and power that these dinosaurs will lose once the next election is held, The other thing to consider is what PPRP said this is just the opening volley in the fight it opens the gates to look at the legal issues that can be placed in the EC and NACC. They now have Paetong publicly making statements about her dad and other issues. You can be rest assured that they will be looked at when it comes to court cases.
  10. How does your friend get the money in Thailand now. ATM or transfer, Does he have a bank account Wg\hen is his year up and time to renew
  11. Part of the deal was that he was going to come home an play with his grandchildren un;less he is taking his grandkids around with him I think people are seeing that he lied. Cancelling the MOtoGP because it was Newin Chidchob that owned it along with the attack lawful or not against the senate has ended any love between the BJT and PTP. The only reason they are still together is Newin knows that he will probably have to deal with thePeoples party if there is another election. Thaksin's warts are showing and I think people are going to start realizing it. I realize that the farmers and anyone that wants to hve their debt supposedly erased that he wants to bail out with his loan idea will support him but I think when peole are reminded about the 10K and the fact that to do what he wants will mean higher taxes and higher national debt he will start to lose face in the South and in the large cities.
  12. The challenge to musical chairs requires a party that can fill the main seat. The nly one with enough oomph is the Peoples party/ I find it very hard to believe thatthe PPRP or BJT would join a coalitoin with them. I think it is morel ikely that we will see either the PPRP use their big arm (military) of the country will go to elections. The other alternative is that Thaksin realizes that he has lost the mojo and removes daughter before she gets in too deep.
  13. 17 18 year old me would have been in the bar with a beer so fast I would have made flash seem slow. But then most teens in Canada are trying to get into bars at 17 lol
  14. The only thing that really bothers me is when you go to a store shop bar whatever and the staff have no problem talking with me then go with a Thai and all of a sudden they don't speak English
  15. Thanks folks for all the info.
  16. Bob do you not understand that you are not wanted on that soi like a lot of us they know us whenwe are coming. The only diference is they know you for the wrong things. No tip always complain, cheap charlie LOL Stay home buy the missus a Hooters shirt teach her to make a burger and setup a large screen to look ike you are out on the town.
  17. Hi I used to hit a ball and chase it for 18 holes back in the mid 90's then messed up my back. I think I might want to start trying again but I have a few questions hoping some of you Pros can help. First, is it possible to go to the driving ranges on themiltary courses and do they have clubs that you can borrow/ rent. Second is it also possible to rent a set of clubs to play 9-18 holes More inportantly as most peope onteh courses have 4 somes or groups and have layed how does a hacker get on the curse without screwing things up. Any and all reasonable suggestions accepted. I live in rangsit.
  18. Np How many people on here doyou actually know. is your name really oxo1947 You guys miss the point entirely. It is funny to here Dims cry. TRUMP said that he would do a lot of things that the majority of Americans that voted wanted. Even if the judges stop him and the DNC fights him he still wins. Musk and DOge is an example. Notice that the Dems are not arguing dollars and sense or stating a new lan instead all they can do is attack the person in charge. When the Dems held power in the senate they stated that if the GOP did not agree to their terms and support the CR that it would be there fault that Americans would not get the services that they want because the government would be closed. Then now that the foot is on the other side and they are the ones that were going to shut down the government it was OK. Imagine if a GOP judge had said that Biden could not deport gang members. Dims would be up in arms claiming that the GOP was against law and order. Now though it is ok for a judge to stop a plane that is flying kown gang menbers to a different country. The catch to this all is that come 2026 mid term the GOP and Trump can say hey we did this and this and this and it was the DNC andleft leaning members that wanted boys playing girls in vollwyball, that stopped him from getting rid of child abusers and gangs, That it was them that wanted to shut down the governement and keep it bloated driving the country to further debt. Perception is a wonderful thing
  19. The interestin gpart is that Hungaryis part of NATO and the EU
  20. This is a list of places that one can celebrate Songkran as it should be celebrated. Then there is the tourist drunk mayhem of Khao San, Silom, NANA and Cowboy as wsell as treeets around this area.
  21. The beauty of masks is the same as the beauty of Chat sites, No One knows who you are to you are free to do was you please and say what you want no mater how outrageous. The other thing is tht we have these organizations and because we do not know their face the police can not arrest or detainpeople that do in fact break the law. It would be interesting to know how many of these protestors are protestors and how many are either paid or unpaid antagonists that just want to destroy things, steal and raise hell. Imagine the hell that would happen here if all the protest leaders hid their faces stopping police form kow who they are.
  22. If Harry and MEGHAN had done what they said they would do I think the medial would have left him alone. For every action there is a reaction. Insead of quietly getting on with their lives and staying away frmthe spot light as they said they wanted ME GAIN jumped right into the pool. No matter what country you live in there are people that loved Queen Elizabeth and watching these 2 tear her world apart just for money that they realy did not need as well a trying to shame his father and brotherwas too much. Then the book that he wrote with all the crap and the numbers of eople from the military to firends to his family and the British public that he harrassed. Man if youare trying to have a good life and want people t like you he really did it wrong. ME GAIN no matter what people say would never have married him if his mom was around. She is a D ist actress that has no famly becaus she trached them. Can not get a show or movie or anything to work. So again we have the media that they have trashed deciding that since he was wiling to say that he was a coke head when he came tothe U.S. ala a certain Biden person he left himself open. If it is found that Harry did lie on the forms no matter how much it might hurt Charles adn o matter how much TRUMP maynot want to act it will be a matter of him leving the country. The question is will ME GAIN follow him withthe kids. I doubt it she will milk him for as much shild support as she can. Then daddy and big brother can step in to help.
  23. Yeah this is the same government that cancelled the MOTOGP because daddy does not like the promoter. Can you really see the F1 circus landing here with this crowd in charge. A lot of many has to be put up for this and thailand does not have it. This will happen after they get the casino and teh track will tie in with the casino. LOL
  24. Wonder how long it will take for them to become poor again?
