Death at age 82 is not what I would call "untimely" unless you reckon he lived longer than average. RIP mate

Photos of criminals here are pixelated up the whazoo, but some guy trying to avoid getting killed by cops and cartels: nice photo. Had his mask on, but enough of the rest of face to ID.

Must make a note: "If I need medical help, get a taxi. Never call for an ambulance if you know what's good for you"

and so here you are, discriminating as a nation status rather than race, and you are fine with that! Hypocrisy at it's finest. I've been all over the world and I've yet to go to a country without some sort of discrimination

Coke and "poppers" provided to give the right "vibe"?

Good. I'll have to put myself on "vampire sleep schedule" as trial will be 12 hrs time difference from here (for part, daylight savings and all east coast)

Don't the moronic police, etc take fingerprints, mug shots, etc? Would not be that difficult to compare I know this isn't the west, but seems he is owed compensation for the 80 days he couldn't work (probably fired from his job), emotional stress on him and family (how could they afford rent/food/etc), and sanctions on the idiots who put him in jail

Quick someone register "pad Thai": you'll make a fortune!

No more military coups: does he believe the police will step in to fill that gap?

I'd guess that it was spoiled children who never had to, nor learned, how to clean up their own messes. And why messes should be cleaned up.

Jeez... does the author not know the word 'swastika'? Hitler symbol? could be stylized SS for all we know. "The argument began when Set playfully drew a 'Hitler' symbol on Saul's head,..." Would not have happened if youths were Thai and not Filipino American: Thais are stupendously ignorant regarding Hitler, WW2, etc. Remember when students included Hitler in super heroes mural?

Did one of the waitstaff ask him "Is that a glock in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

My first visit to Thailand was 1982. I took Thai Air, and my routing was Seattle-Tokyo-Bangkok This is nothing new

The number one way to accelerate economy is to rid Thailand of corruption (fat chance, right?). But all the kickbacks, payoffs and bribes are like an excise tax, except that the money does not help with infrastructure, services, etc etc.. Okay, slight "trickle down" as villas etc built from ill gotten gains, and I suppose mia nois spending helps a bit

If I may suggest, a photo map of expected rain etc would be very useful to go with these weather reports

Firearms killed a record number of (US) children in 2021, study finds there, fixed it.

A retired teacher: this makes it news? I know there are cultural differences and all that, but so what if he once was a teacher. So was I

Chinese would know what it says, or maybe that is just a wild guess....

Maybe a bit of promo for David Tenant in "Good Omens 2"? Good-Omens-season-2-artwork-.webp

Now THAT is what I call a pothole!

Sounds like that joke "If you take this medicine, you can be cured in a week. If you don't, it will take 7 days..." I've had dengue twice. No picnic. I just rode it out

Decades ago a psychological experiment was done with chimps and tokens to see if they could adapt to a "money economy" to buy food, etc. They could. Also, one clever female set herself up as a prostitute, made lots of tokens. I am not making this up...

Start by locking him up over a weekend, maybe? This seems like something similar to reasonable parents setting boundaries with an out of control tantrumming brat. He does need a time out at the very least. "A rule that is not enforced ceases to be a rule." If the judge is to have any credibility and control, Trump needs to be locked up. He was warned

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles Oh yeah If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way "I've been seeing spots..." "Have you seen a doctor?" "No. Just spots."

deep, too!
