Agreed. It won’t go on though. He’s just angling for a deal. But probably not a good idea to take on the CCP.

It wouldn’t work. When he’s got something in his head, he doesn’t even listen to his best buddies. Senility, wealth and a hunger for power do not a great mix make.

With a bit of luck he’ll be in the ground before the end of his second. 👍

The locals get F all benefit from it.

A 1.2% drop? Stop the press! Hardly worth writing about. 120% drop would be more like it, and take the Russians with you. 😙

Only interested in the magic variety. Why bother eating anything else? 😜

Must be a typo. It might start to rain more in some areas but the actual rainy season is generally later in the year.

Stick to bending spoons, dude. You could set every nuke off today and there wouldn’t be enough energy to boil the oceans. Only a Venus style climate runaway (which could eventually happen) or the death of the earth through the sun’s red giant phase (which will eventually happen) will do that.

Why humour them? Clearly a previously banned member mixing things up. I just don't get why someone would spend so much time trying to wind people up instead of drinking beer and speaking to nice women.

There's one nik on here (masquerading as at least 3) arguing with himself repetitively. Why are you not picking it up, Support? This trollish twaddle might bring in visitors but it is dragging the whole site down.

All I can say to this topic is, ThaiVisa used to catch the trolls and instantly ban them... there's a few here with G and H letter names by the looks. Baht is king and all that.

Agree about westerners being idle… it started with the entitled boomer gen. Trump is of that irrelevant group and doesn’t give a monkeys since he is rich and has one foot in the grave already. He just wants to shake it up to satisfy his own fragile pissant ego.

To be fair, while Trump is a complete tit, Thailand deserves to be thrashed on tariffs. Just surprised nobody else has brought them to book before. The protectionist xenophobe stance on alcohol and cars is gross. Don’t do a ‘war room’ thing against the US, though. That will never work. Sort your S out and negotiate.

Too much. Too much to think about. Only thing that ever kept my back and neck tight was loads of stretching and pushups. That means effort.

Ok for cooking and perhaps coffee, but RO is 'dead' water devoid of what the human body needs. Drink this stuff every day and guaranteed you will be dehydrated and misty-headed. Op, do those machines at your peril. Have they changed the filter etc? Also, keep reusing bottles over and over again, you end up getting bacteria(lised). Better off buying bottles from 7, or drinking beer or gin... as they did in the day, even the kids!

World is full of idiots 'Some' of them are on this site.

Trouble is though, bro, you address all that and you end up with boring nanny state western angst. The baht is WAY overpriced though... by about 50%.

If they were angry with them for peeing on the street, imagine they’d have been livid had they been doing #2

A waste of 30k when they demolish it. 😋

Gonna hurt US consumers more than anyone. “plundered and stolen from” lol. He has no clue about economics. The US has benefitted hugely in price and diversity from everyone that sells to them. They can’t make most of what they buy in.

Gawd! 😔 Don’t worry, Helen, as with practically every other franchise and TV in general post-2020, Bond will be so watered down and typical from now on as to be unrecognisable. I expect the next Bond to be non-white, un-masculine, highly effeminate, likely with deep physical and mental flaws, and utterly un-witty so as to not upset the fragile. Another show ruined for the sake of you know who.

Ah, there it is. How can she be sure other buildings are safe and meet appropriate standards? Who told her that?

Oh aye, they dress up to the nines to avoid it. Amusing, eye opening process to anyone that hasn’t attended. Can’t blame them.

It's a bit knee-jerk, but many people just don't get the physics and heed social media tat too much. The thing happened days ago well inland; there will be no tsunamis.

Those that continually run them down typically have bad experiences in the tourists hotspots. Those places are not Thailand or 'real' Thais. I sometimes have a whinge, but Thai people overall are very cool. I have yet to witness such generosity of spirit anywhere else in the world. The amount of times--in similar situations as the op--where I've been helped out when in trouble is uncanny. Some of my best friends are Thai and I'm more comfortable around them than I am my own to be honest.
