But 'they' don't care though, Mike, since their palms are well greased and normality does not include/affect them.

Well, he would know since his whole government is one big FAKE!

Also had/have that 'problem'. They think I'm cute apparently.

Try to make friends with a crow, rook or raven. You'll have a friend for life; they'll follow you around and bring you stuff. Wonderful birds.

This is a thing. I seem to do well with dogs, cats, donkeys and birds. One's thoughts and general (mis)demeanour is, typically unknowingly, put out there and animals pick it up because their senses are heightened and 'in-tune'. We don't know it because we hoomans are lost sheep

Might I suggest don an angry boomer-expat-in-Thailand face? That'll scare em off.

Unlikely to be rolled back completely. Far too many folk and influentials are too ingrained in the trade and it is clearly not a problem. Dhead dinosaurs in the bogus 'government' will talk S, chomp at the bit and try to impart their misguided tat on the people, but reckon they will get shut down. Posit there will be an advisory and shops might be made to close, but it will be up to you if you use as it should be. As to personal usage, mine has gone up a tad.

China ruining the world again, eh? Gotta love em!

People reacting to this post (giving genuine info as a reply) and many others with crying and sad emoticons is the perfect example of why they should be taken away, or perhaps provided only to those that are old enough and can be trusted. Some people have too much time and are puerile troublemakers. Was hoping the downtime would have shaken them out to the 'other' forum.

Why they bother doing that, bringing all those undesirables in, just tax the retirees.

There's either a B or $ missing there! If folk believe he only acquired $40 odd k in 9 years at the top, they need their head read. It will be buried offshore in Joe Doe accounts

^^^ Initially it used to be just + and - reactions. But they took the - away after the numpties were complaining they were getting too many - for posting tat. Rather than stop posting tat, they complained. lol

Newton was spot on and his equations and calculus are still employed to send rockets and probes about the solar system. A proper genius if there ever were one and most physicists worth their salt will cite him over Einstein as being the most important scientist. Paraphrasing, but of gravity he said ‘this is how it works but I don’t know why it works, that is up to someone else’. Took all those intervening years for Einstein to come along and explain why… the bending of spacetime. As to the op, no it’s not entirely reliable because (on the universe at least) as it is in constant flux, as it should be, and based mostly on observation. But it is the best thing we have. On that, Big Nok isn’t far wrong. And, yes, the elephant in the room is numpty-know-nothing reporters writing tat hastily about subjects they know F all about.

There is only one! Missed it but didn’t bother me as I’m not and never have been a serial poster and have a life… not to denigrate those that haven’t, of course 😋. The ‘other one’ is a joke forum with tired old expats (mostly) that were banned (repeatedly in most cases) from here and they still think they’re cool and in the best place. Horrible, cheap interface and every thread is laced with expletives and negativity. TV (alright, Aseannow) might be over-modded, but is the dog’s doodahs for news and visa info on this fair land.

Boomer-esque twaddle! Not gay but this is a step forward for any modern society even if the current questionable Thai gov is doing it as an agenda. The Stone Age era Muslim countries should take note.

Safari. Most others are a joke and can’t be trusted, including Chrome. Don’t do your banking on them. If you’re not a Mac/iPhone man then never mind. I still prefer using a PC but probably wouldn’t go back.

Failed. Look at the state of the West! One of the many reasons I cannot live there. Apologies to Sheryl (the best mod TV ever had), but females of any species need to be controlled. It is in their nature and they go all awry and silly when gifted free reign and/or living with a soy boy etc. Definition of a strong, pre woke-feministic-era feminine woman: Ripley:Alien. Perfection! Not some contrived Doris trying to be a man as in the bastardisation of Galadriel in the Rings of Power, or any movie or TV program post-2020. Just horrible. Women should be women, not angry blokes in skirts (ladyboy pun unintended).

Likely no accident it went down for so long; afaik not happened in the history of TV. Sponsors aside, good chance they passively sent the serial posters (Bob et al) on their way by not being available. These guys—many of whom post contentious stuff on Thailand and Thais—are actually a detriment to the site. Having said that, it is as slow as F now. They might want to consider better hosting. It’s not rocket science guys, even a massive database with fkt up code would do well on good servers. MDDHOSTING in the US will have it at lightning speed. Not affiliated, just have my own site with them. 😋

You are kidding right? People are always flippant on these types of threads; look at the first couple replies… typically non empathetic boomers. Why the F would a depressive travel all the way here to jump? Low balconies in this country is a real thing. The amount of times I’ve almost gone over with beer in hand! Thailand seriously needs to get its <deleted> together in policing this—i.e. MAKE IT POLICY TO ENSURE CONTRACTORS FOLLOW BUILDING CODES AND CHUCK UP HIGH BALCONY RAILS! Big fines on architects and cops for aholes that don’t comply. It is not a third world country but dogs in streets and stuff like this makes it appear so.

How’s this for an idea, stop chucking out negatives and be thankful for small mercies! Another four Thais have just been released. It is fantastic. They could have all been slaughtered.

Same here. Waaay back when this stuff wasn’t even a thing and my bank genuinely called, I told them I was hanging up and would call back through their switchboard. If people switch off and find ‘their bank’ has phoned them, hang up!

Yeah, which airport?

Is this supposed to be bad news?

Main reasons are flight costs and higher expenses at home. All other reasons stayed here are incidental. Poorly researched article.

Reported and ignored. Congratulations.
