Has Thailand Caught Up with the 21st Century?
kingstonkid replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Technology-wise, Thailand is in the 21st century, but the people and culture are still in the past. When I was in Pakistan we used to sayit was still in the feudal system with 21st-century weapons Pakistan is still, in many ways, in the 1950s at best, but it has technology that even some Western countries have not figured out. The education system is the best example of this: the students have computers but a lot of the teachers still teach wrote learning and have no idea how to teach online. -
Hey don't forget the Vietnam vets who settled here instead of going home LOL There used to be a lot of them, but they have passed on

Took the BTS yesterday from Khu Kot to NANA. I can tell you from experience that if they bring in the 20 baht fare, it will drive more people to drive to work than to take the BTS. Every train was packed, and at Siam, you had to wait for a second train because it was too packed. Usually I can go to Nana and get on the train to Khu Kot and get a seat. Yesterday it was crowded standing room only all the way to the second last stop. Ther will be too many people this week on the trains and people are not going to be happy I can see people giving up onthe free and taking cars so they can breathe

Thaksin Reveals PM's Anti-Pollution Plan Initiated from Davos
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yeah the other thing I noticed yesterday was watch where most of the traffic gets held up on Suk. Under the BTS stations so there is no where for it to go. Hell even the bars that hve doors are closing them to keep it out. -
The issue that Joe created is interesting. Because all these people are pardoned for everything they did they no longer can take the 5th. If they are caught in a ly or mislead or fail to respond to a subpeona then they leave themselves open to new charges not covered by the pardon. If Congress wants they can hang Joe High. however the interesting catch is that Joe has done enough damage that it might be better to talk about what they think he did but not go to court.

The trouble that a lot of these countries have is that there is internal stife and people are ot happy. The EU is a mess with the protests and everything. Their open borders idea did not work, and ow theyhave the same issue as the U.S. but do not have leaders that can resolve the issue. TRUMP has a mandate from the American people to Make America GREAT AGAIN they did not vote tomake the EU, China or anyone else great again no That is his thought adn he is going to make it happen. If the Netherlands or Switzerland don't like it, frankly, Americans don't care. They care about american jobs, american wages, american security and having a great country. Imagine if all the money spent on Ukraine had been spent properly on keeping jobs in the U.S.

The U.S. and Canada need to stay involved in the U.N. The U.S. should lose its financial commitment and cut down on the number of people it gives dip immunity to, but they are needed. Imagine what would happen if China and Russia were given cart blanche to do things with U.N. support. The U.S. has that veto so it can help countries like Israel when people tryo to declare war issues. However it does not mean tht Btitish, Aus, Canadian and American soldiers should always be the ones doing the peace keeping

Thaksin Reveals PM's Anti-Pollution Plan Initiated from Davos
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Don't forget all the shops that cook food open air. The other challenge is that they have the big buldings on sides of streets and no air pushing the smog through. There ar a lot of issues with the biggest being stalled traffic. -
Thai transwoman busted at Nonthaburi hotel for explicit content
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
This is the low hainging fruit that the RTP and teh government can use to show those that are older living inthe country that they are looking out for them adn arresting people. What Thaksin is missing is 10,000 baht a month taxed would be easy money and help. Instead of making this illegal and underground they need to bring it out and tax it. Same thing with prostitution. Unless the ladyboys upset people with fighting the oly time you hear about the girls in Pat or anywhere is whenthe poice after letting everyone know goon their search and find nothing. Did you noit know that according to police all those girls by Hooters and across from the entertainment are are just waiting for taxis -
Do they stillhave the hair cutters at Hua lampong the old train station Me I go to a shop in nana just up the street from the entertainment area

Thaksin blames Prawit for political turmoil amid coup fallout
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The smart thing for PP to do is run on the we are not like the others make no real promises other than we are going to try to make your life better. Nominate a person that is so clean he or she squeaks. There is no senate to screw up the vote -
Thaksin blames Prawit for political turmoil amid coup fallout
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Don't forget that LingYuck had lost the will of the people, and there had been protests, so there was no government. Also one of teh things she ws going to do was bring Tony home and make amove tht all was forgiven. The elites and military were not going to go for that so away we went LOL. I think TYhaksin is overestimating how far he can go before all hell breaks loose. I am not sure that there needs to be large-scale protests, but I definitely see them inching towards either the courts disbanding the PT or the parties breaking the coalition and taking the country back on the voting trail. One thing that is going to happen is Thaksin is either going back to Dubai or jail if he does not shut up -
Banged up: Thai prison nightmare exposed by British tourist
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The question that is not answered is WHAT IS A FEW DAYS I have a funny feeling it was more tht 10 LOL. What visa was he on, and why did he not do a border run let's face it, there are a magnitude of ways to avoid Overstay. Sorry if he expects sympathy he knows where in the dictionary to find it. -
Starmer just keeps digging and digging that hole. When was the last time a president came to the UK and did not meet with the PM? I can see Trump making the royal visit. The only question then is whether Starmer would attend or risk upsetting Charles and Willliam. Britain and its commonwealth countries (Canada and Aus) are in for a rude awakening. There is very little that the U.S. needs from the U.K. or Aus. Canada needs energy, but the provinces that control it are all friendly and willing to work. How long do people think Starmer will stay in power?

Thaksin to Discuss Global Path for Thai Models with Naomi Campbell
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
All the Prettys will flock there. Anyone that thinks theyhave the looks will be hovering. This actually would have been a good thing for his daughter to get involved in she has the looks Mr T just comes across tas the old perv -
The trouble is that these guys can not get a girl to go out with them, so they decide to go with their buddies. This leads to P!ssing contests, and instead of one level-headed brain or just one immature brain, you have 4-5 that think numbers make them tough. I agree chances are they will find him. Would not be surprised tht some of his friends end up in jail also

UK Envoy Announces Major Plans for 170-year Thailand Ties
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Actually, I hope that they will announce it so others can get tickets. Watch just as all this is scheduled; the Government will fall AGAIN, and all bets will be off. I wonder after the King if Thaksin or his daughter will be the main dignitary -
"Climate Change" is causing the LA fires...or is it?
kingstonkid replied to connda's topic in Off the beaten track
That sucks but still the people voted in these idiots and the fires have nothing to do with climate change.
