Clean tap water? Slippery slope alert! Next thing ya know might promise pesticide free food... is there no end to this maddness?

fine example of a non sequitur if there ever was one

15-20 years ago the women looked like 1957 tinsel Las Vegas bad taste hookers... a bit better now I live off of 2nd road... there are large stretches without other people around or decent lighting. I don't go to those areas after 8 pm She went to 7/11... maybe it was 'that time of month'. Unlike the "women" some of her detractors date here, real women have what it is known as a "period" monthly. Need supplies

Given Thailand's record of being on the losing side(s), I would expect any mercenaries to join up with Hamas

Interesting (?) choice of stock photo for this story: crashed motorbike and driver on ground with a full helmet with mask. I'd say masked helmets will never catch on here: too hard to see the text you're working on while driving down the road here

What a dastardly thing to do: stockpile a commodity to wait for a price rise Meanwhile, the gov passes a bill to spend millions (billions?) to.... stockpile rice to wait for a price rise gotta love this place

Thanks for the info... interesting I suppose here in Thailand they might have unicorn crosswalks: they don't exist... nyuk nyuk

I've been here about 20 years, and this is the mega whopper, the leviathan of are-you-kidding-ville, off the charts you-can't-make-this-up absurdity award. But all makes sense: look who gave this out: "The ITA Awards, organized by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), were chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, Pirapan Salirathavibhaga."

Odd... wonder why The Pattaya News has to be source of story about Bangkok... My experience in Pattaya crosswalks if 50-50 at best. Puffin Crosswalks? Pelican crosswalks? I'm a geezer and have never heard of such things. Nearest thing I know of is Chuck Berry's duck walk

I did a rewrite of Hotel California for this place, last bit goes like this: "Last thing I remember as she headed for the door You help family me maybe pay a little more "forget it" I said "That's all you'll receive I don't pay you to stay.... I pay you to leave"

I did. I'm asking you to point out where you got the info... copy and paste or otherwise provide link in article please

Maybe this sort of action should be encouraged... rid the kingdom of these pathetic types! Over talking with a man while taking clothes to wash?

I saw no stats or other numbers regarding Thailand DV in the article you cite. Can you help this ignorant person out and show where it is hidden? Much of what I have heard is anecdotal or from the news, but my perception is that Thailand has more than its share of domestic violence, tho no where near as high as the middle east

Just to be sure, use a condom when you beat your bishop. "You can never be too safe. Think of where that hand has been."

The WHO "safe" levels of PM 2.5 are set at 25 for one day (lowered to 15 in 2021), or average of 10 per year. The level of 50 is something the Thai government cooked up... still can't meet even those numbers huge percentage of the time... (this from IQ air site)

"Thailand, like numerous other countries, has witnessed instances of police corruption and abuse of power." This is news? since when? Not just "witnessed": part of day to day operating expenses of businesses.... a "tax" without benefit to the public that drags down economy

At age 43 I reckon he's probably spread his DNA about enough to ensure his sort of intelligence didn't die with him

it is a good idea to send a pen along with paperwork: in my experience the ink often coagulates and makes them unusable. "My pen's dry"

“The army is using them as forced labor to build bunkers, dig trenches, and carry timber. They are practically human shields.” said who? They apparently have no understanding of the concept of "human shields"... Burma and Thailand should understand slave labor, what with death railway of WW2

Regarding "sun never sets", was referring to very long history of Britain and it's colonies all over the world that were manned by a large number of British citizens (I reckon); whom I assume would have wanted to vote, and I wonder why that whole issue of absentee voting wasn't solved at least a century ago (dang, long sentence!)

Just checked the air quality for Bangkok: 82, which is 2.8 times WHO health guidelines, which has cost 7,900 deaths in Bangkok in 2023. I suppose one could take the attitude that the air will kill ya no matter what you do, so might as well jog.... https://www.iqair.com/th-en/thailand/bangkok

Do they still pay taxes? being a Yank, I'm partial to the "no taxation without representation" viewpoint. And let us not forget the old empire boast that "the sun never sets on the British flag"... "Why should non-residents influence domestic policy...." I assume MPs might also vote on items involving international news. maybe take away votes of Britons who have never been out of the country...

Thai ministry ought to condemn the actions and perps shown in the video, rather than the showing of the video. But this is Thailand

It does not matter what party, if any, a judge may be affiliated with if the judge is an honest judge. He has been lenient, maybe too much, regarding Trump's outrageous behavior. ANy other defendant would be in the slammer for contempt. To somehow imply "he's a democrat" is any sort of rebuttal, ignoring all facts, incidents and behaviors towards the court and "the democrat" show a limited understanding of who is in charge in courts and what sort of sanctions they can apply to disruptive abusers of the system

The Republicans don't have to worry about cognitive decline in their ranks when they have no cognition worth a darn to decline. Peeled zeros.
