Let’s hope he wins then. We could all do with that extra 0.66 😂 Baht is still WAAAAYY overpriced. The real value (yes it is propped up—look who’s moving monies around) is somewhere around 40.

So about same as last year then 😋 lol

It’s still there, dude, ‘absorbed’ in tickets. Every country does it. This is just an op-top-of grab. If claims on the supposed inclusive insurance are successful, I will eat my hat.

He does that. He also repeats himself incessantly. Count how many times you see 'quiet room'. 😋 All good though, it'd be rather boring if everyone were ramrod straight and normal. I pick view over quiet, although cannot stand neighbour noise, which I don't currently get. Have a school nearby which can get ridiculous with teachers screaming in microphones... I don't get why they have to do that when the kids are right by them. When the schools are out, it is bliss.

Recall a similar article in the early noughties (along the lines of 'retire to CM on $1K a month') which was partly responsible for filling the place up with expats. Not too bothered now though as moved out ages ago. Just got too busy and floody, the traffic got to me more than the smoke... which is only really bad for couple months. When it is cool around the end of the year, it is great.

What she's actually laughing at here is her colleague having glued his hands to his eyes. To be fair, she actually looks quite cute from that angle, especially as she's not talking.

Donkey statement--one of the smartest blokes in the world trounced by a nobody on a website called aseannow. Again, funny tat by the nobody people. 🤣 Please see above.

You guys really haven't a clue about that? So funny. Politically wise, Elon is actually a bit of a leftist but the donkeys in charge have pushed it so far (and on and on and on) that they have made right out of left. Careful what you wish for, little fragile wishy washy daffodil folk.

*Dupe

I still enjoy the Hobbit movies (wonderful cast and dialogue), stretched though they are, and have always preferred the book over the darker and brilliant LOTR even though it's apparently meant for kids... yeah right!. The Rings of Power is essentially a series following pre-Prime Galadriel, set WAAAYY before Hobbit/LOTR. Along with the oft-snarling, short-assed out of character Galadriel, all the juicy lead parts are reserved for female characters, while the meek fellas bumble about getting their arses handed to them BY WOMEN. Sauron (the most powerful entity presented to us in Hobbit/LOTR) appears in bloke form and is himself quite wishy washy, actually a bit of a ponce, and seems quite taken aback with the aforementioned. Just do yourself a favour and don't go there. Cost Amazon summat like $1B and it's a giant flop, but they continue with it for the sake of it. I won't do the second season. Much like the Mandalorian, first couple seasons great, then into the 2020s-proper for season 3... 'hey, let's make it all about women'. Goodnight! Not massively into fantasy, but it seems to be happening to all series' and movies in the West post-2020, because they are deliberately hiring this or that writer (usually feeble types, men or women) to tick boxes. Crapola. Unless fit-for-the-task, clever writers (whatever sex, race, creed they are, who F cares!) pen from the heart with passion, it will not work and will just lose these big firms massive amounts of money. Always search now before committing to a movie/TV show... i.e. for wokeness. Any whiff of silliness... NEXT!

😴😴 Can’t they come up with some new ideas to generate revenue internally without having to continually fall back on tourism thereby filling the country up? Already way too overcrowded.

Smiling donkey defo the receiver.

A thin-skinned twit he may be, but he may indirectly have a point. There probably aren’t many good stories about him, but Google search seems to have gotten less reliable over the years. It typically goes firstly with what most people are searching for, and it has become harder to pull out more obscure stuff accurately. Perhaps partly because there is so much junk on there nowadays, albeit other search engines often do better. Google probably has a bit of an agenda like every other mainstream thing, news or otherwise, today. Bottom line: If you’re in such a position, or a celebrity, and don’t like criticism, best to keep internet/social media use to a minimum. 🙂

Don’t blame them. I would if I owned one. High end hotels are still generally well priced (at least compared to 1st world countries) in Thailand.

Indeed. Healthy foods are very accessible, and cheap, in the UK. It’s that some of these people CHOOSE NOT to eat it in favour of snacks and crap. See it all the time when home, young obese bumbling around in paid-for-by-the-people buggies. Thousands of £ a pop. Some genuinely have medical issues, yes, but many are just lazy individuals leeching off society. They should be coerced into treatments such as this and made to actively look for work or benefits reduced. Something like 80-90% of the council tax pie is dished out on welfare in my town now, and people wonder why (Covid, immigrant cost aside) the roads cannot be fixed. There’s no effing money! Future of Britain is very bleak as those in power do not have the stones to tackle the real issues. Instead they put people away for saying things.

Oh aye he was involved with her alright, right after Depp, who she also cheated on. Pretty girl but a serial liar and nasty piece of work. He’s been doing good things of late (standing up to Starmer and wokism) and don’t blame him for keeping an eye on her with her track record, but he was an ass with that whole submarine debacle.

Snatch absolutely could not be made today. Essentially no women. And, thank the Lord that The Game of Thrones was realised to television pre-2020! It would be a Rings of Power abomination!

Post 2020. Many great movies were made 2000-2020. Blame the Left. The problem now is wokism (largely through BLM) and inclusivity, which ruins writing because it is contrived and they have certain actors, directors, producers to tick boxes. It all makes for sht television. Reason why Disney has lost A LOT of revenue, along with Rings of Power (and with pretty much any TV series now) which is just feminist tat far removed from Tolkien's idea. The last decent movie of recent times imo was probably Maverick.

And that is how it should be until it is established who everyone is and what they are up to. They should be treated as potential criminals until it can be proven which ones are genuine asylum seekers, with all others to be deported immediately. Many of these are single, able males up to no good. If it were left to the bleeding heart liberals, all EU countries would eventually be overrun and you can bet your bottom dollar they will never have to rub shoulders with these people. Well done, Italy. Do not listen to the EU airheads!

Subway and flip-flops? lol. Good luck with accommodation if you go back to Oz. Heard it as horrendous there now, esp if wanting to buy. Btw, not that I wear them, but your flippy floppy things can be had in 7-11 for a few baht.

Can be sure certain powers that be will use it to their advantage for further control. Not a conspiracy theorist, covid was a thing as were the moon landings, but one thing's for sure, I won't be taking any hastily developed garbage vaccines.

Never heard of him, but a moniker like 'Diddy' already sounds pretty suspect. Hopefully he didn't Diddy Justin as well!

I wouldn’t be here in the first place if it were anything like what the state of that region is in regards land grabs, hate & religion. Likely same for most others. Those Thais are only there because of the coin, not for the love of it.

Strangely jovial, hip article for such a serious thing. Almost a puff piece. Anyway, about time the Thai system got with it and issued long term licenses. Enough with the money spinning and time wasting. At least make them 10 years!

Well done, fellas!
