Chinese illicit influence scandals in Thailand
Aussieroaming replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Actually Thailand should force the Chinese to buy properties in the capital as a means of punishment. Not so much as laundering money but more like throwing it down the gurgler. -
Cabby dead in train/taxi collision in northern Bangkok
Aussieroaming replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I walk regularly near one those crossings and the number of bikes and vehicles that run the barrier after the lights start flashing and the bells go off never ceases to amaze me. -
Merry Xmas and enjoy the windfall.

United States Donates CBRN Detection Equipment to Thailand
Aussieroaming replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand, always looking for handouts. Guess what Thailand, when you take handouts you aren't in a partnership you are a beggar. -
Depends where you are in Bangkok. There is ( was) a big stall at Mixt Shopping Mall ( near Chatuchak Market) that sells cheap cheap drinking glassware of various types. I wasn't looking for wine glasses but they certainly sold various drinking glass types of glassware at 10 - 20 baht price range.

Pattaya Police and Immigration Give New Year’s gifts to Tourists
Aussieroaming replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
What's the gifts, free 30 day visa extentions or something. The Russians get a free box of Ukrainian made tissues to wipe away the tears of defeat. -

What Thailand YouTubers Are You Watching (2023)
Aussieroaming replied to NotReallyHere's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I have watched most Thai based content producers but I lost interest in most of them as their week to week content becomes a bit stale. But I appreciate their efforts to entertain, as it must be hard to come up with fresh content. I never watch any vlogs that show "paid promotion" because I find it very disingenuous for a vlogger to suddenly proport to use and love some random product when in reality they probably never used the product in their life until they were paid to promote it e.g. "I use Shark VPN for all of my internet needs because it is sooooo great". That example is the type of statement that would be considered by me as a lie, not a true and honest promotional statement. I do watch a few Thai based producers because I genuinely think that they seem like nice people and I am interested in their general life and well being. But I think the worst vloggers by far are the ones who come to Thailand for a month or two, have no idea about Thailand and produce a few weeks of content identical to the content that a vlogging backpacker the month before generated. Each week someone else "discovers" another Thai hidden gem that has been "discovered" and vlogged to death numerous times in the preceding weeks. Or they tell the audience that a certain market is the biggest or the best or the cheapest in Thailand, when they clearly have no idea of the truth of any of those claims. -

No pulse infers "dead", so how was she rescued?
