  1. It's a good move, but even more important is making sidewalks and streets safe for those in wheelchairs... which I assume would also make those areas safer for pedestrians. Maybe those who think this is a "dumb egalitarian move" ought to try renting a wheelchair for a few days and see how he likes the level of current accessibility.
  2. Years ago in Patts there was this guy opening bar next door to gf shop... we let him store some things while he did some decorating... we were helpful... But he was a raging arse when drunk, rant fume at us, etc. One time he drove his motorcycle up and parked it right in front of our entrance... "Anyone touch it and I'll smash them" warning.... I took a minute to put some things away and then came out, unzipping my pants so I could pee on his bike... "I didn't touch it" would be my response... but by time I got out he'd left. Real piece of work. Heard he died later of too much viagra and weak heart...
  3. "The driver argued that the motorcycle could have been moved without keys or her boyfriend could have been called to assist." Or he could have helped move it
  4. Work on your trolling skills: this is so obviously an attempt to get us to point out how stupid you are is silly. Also, you need to learn what a 'karen' is in current slang. Has nothing to do with driving
  5. Put this in the "man bites dog" category
  6. The Emerald Buddha... is that of Lao origin? any trips planned?
  7. Those "illegal shops" are legal... people invested their savings in those legal businesses and then the out of touch government compounds their blunders with these new insane regs. How many billions of baht will be lost due to this shortsighted idiocy? BTW I last puffed in 1985 and have maybe 2 glasses of wine a year
  8. Pitiful chicken <deleted> corporation.
  9. How about "Gator Gulag".... I wish I had dual citizenship so I could renounce US citizenship.... what that clown and his evil helpers are doing to my country if off the charts
  10. "Us guaranteed ukraines borders"... it wasn't just the US...Russia agreed to guarantee borders "The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, signed on December 5, 1994, was an agreement where Ukraine disarmed its nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from its nuclear powers: Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, which included a commitment to respect Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and existing borders and to refrain from the threat or use of force against its territorial integrity or political independence. France and China also gave individual assurances in separate documents" (from google AI) So you may notice Europeans were in on the guarantee, not just USA... so why the heck don't you mention them, especially Russia's guarantee. I remember when this was signed, thinking "If I were Ukraine I'd keep five or six nukes "just in case". Russia has a history of mass killings of Ukrainians. Look it up.
  11. Tasmania is part of Australia. The English killed off ALL of the native Tasmanians in 19th century. There are no descendants & just who could 'the winning tribe' (English) pay off?
  12. "...theft of a significant personal fortune, comprising 10 million baht in cash and nearly 13 million baht in gold. The abbot, Phra Ratchawatchara Phattanatorn, insists that these valuables were accumulated personally, separate from any temple donations." Buddhist monks generally take a vow of poverty, which involves renouncing private property and personal ownership of possessions, with a focus on spiritual development and detachment from material wealth. He should be defrocked... how did he rack up this fortune? Maybe stealing from donations? Or is he an IT consultant?
  13. They have been 'working'... nah, 'putting some time in" supposed putting in huge drain pipes just off my condo 2nd road Jomtien... my first photos were taken FIVE YEARS AGO of this project!!!! These photos were taken today... needs spins...
  14. 7 million baht.... Monks take a vow of poverty, right? Maybe they have a different definition of poverty? And how could he afford to be ".... heading back to Laos and potentially Germany," ?
  15. What sort of discount (if any) did they get for accepting Chinese engines instead of German? Couldn't cancel the order; too many envelopes already distributed and spent. Chinese engines should be good enough. Just park the subs next to the aircraft carrier. Problem solved
  16. She was tortured? Putting the old CIA 'black site' near Don Mueang airport back in service? Where is Gina Haskel when you need her?
  17. Powers that be love to make declarations about how they are making Thailand a good place to invest.... but this slitting of the economic throats of tens of thousands of budding (pun intended) business people sends the message these people are clueless, ignorant, fools that can't be counted on. A prime motivator of investors is knowing their money will be in a consistent environment, not subject to capricious moves by morons in ruling class
  18. No plans? Planning has never been the strong suite no matter who is in power, or out of it, come to think of it... 🙂
  19. Don't be hasty: sounds like the transaction didn't get to the stage of gender identification before s/he took a powder
  20. going back to 1788 for illegal boat people...?
  21. Unwise move. Stores carry copies of Mein Kampf, but that doesn't mean they are Nazi sympathizers. I consider myself a liberal, but banning of books puts that store in the authoritarian section of the arena. Bad move, hypocritical and narrow minded,
  22. the fishy thing about this is that it appears there was no damage to Trump's ear: no scar, no scab, nothing. This photo was first after he took the bandage off... I dunno... https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/07/27/13/SEI214324455.jpg?quality=75&width=1368&auto=webp
  23. Here, let me edit that headline: Chuwit Blows there. Much better.
