Vote buying it is and it has Thaksin's dirty fingerprints all over it.

What about the "...statue of a xylophone player [with the xylophone]; made in wood..." mentioned in the OP? Are you now willing to settle for just the xylophone?

If indeed the Chinese owner is subletting short-term to party animals, then lady, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Driving in Thailand is like participating in a Demolition Derby. Only the lucky or the crazy survive.

That's wonderful. Let's hope it will be followed by condolences to to the families of Gazan non-combatants killed as well.

No, it hasn't. Maybe you've been in the shower all day.

Legend indeed... for all the wrong reasons. "Yet her career was full of historic moments, of which her Senate election was only one". It was the only one if you judge her by any standards other than those of the left-wing loons who have ruined her city, her state, and now hard at work on destroying her country.

That's a distinct possibility. A more rational way would be to let states enact their own laws and regulations based on local sensibilities and conditions.

No, Nana Screw and Nana Machine Parts are both nearby and have an excellent selection of quality tools but they don't discount prices unless there is a special promotion going on. The place I go to will come down in price - after some bargaining - to within a few hundred baht of Lazada and other online prices, even on big ticket items. That, combined with good repair and warranty service has made me a regular customer Lertwattana, located outside the moat at 24 Maneenoparat Rd., with a big red and white Makita sign on the roof.

I've always loved the power and design of the Makita portable power tools I've bought here over the years. Be aware that prices vary and it certainly pays to shop around using Lazada or Shopee as a base price. The cheapest place I've found is located on Maneenoparat just before the Sripoom Corner and past the Army/Navy type stores facing the moat. Good luck finding what you want.

Nor I.

Only by the dozen, and only if there is a good chance that it will lead to marriage.

I'd go out and score some of the primo bud that is available everywhere now. Just put things in perspective. It could be worse... you could be in some farangland s***hole.

No.

No, they don't run sports organizations, but their loony Woke opinions have an immense amount of influence on those who do.

From a legal standpoint, no not at all. My question was related to the possibility that there were facilitators on this end.

Were they voluntarily doing dirty stuff on video calls or is there more to this story? Coercion of some kind?

There, that's better.

His voter base is coming over to meet him.

Come out Liz, we know you're in there.

Depending on the degree of intimacy this would appear to be a case of hetrosexual transmission. So much for the "Gay Plague" scenario.

Agreed. There is even a word for it, "presentism" - judging past actions by today's standards. Those who do it are almost always pushing an agenda.

That sums it up very well. You can always tell when someone is pushing an agenda... be it political, social, or religious.

The fact that Biden was elected by a record-breaking number of American voters only to sink to this level of unpopularity perfectly illustrates H.L. Mencken's classic observation: "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
