From the Urban dictionary Hoeflation is a term which describes the increase in price men have to pay for lower value women. This is reflected through higher prices in terms of, ... Dunno. This is beyond my normal scope of activity.

Can I let you know after I have translated it?

Bit of advice to Banksy Don't come to Phuket. For those who a unaware, google Banksy.

I suspect the police response is along the lines of "What's in it for us?"

That'l please the old folk in my village.

Ankle bracelets for all tourists.

Also and in combination with Nasonex, a decongestant will help. Otrivin is good for this. If the problem persists then you will need to se a nose specialist who may prescribe a short course of steroid tablets.

Yup. Made up stories with not an ounce of truth but fun to read.

How about the new Toyota hydrogen ICE? https://www.autoracing1.com/pl/395761/automotive-this-new-engine-will-destroy-the-entire-ev-market-toyota-ceo/ I personally think its a backward step into the world of high temperatures and way too many moving parts.

We already have them in the UK but only in small numbers with Hydrogen filling stations few and far between. Is this a non-story also?

According to the MJCM link he was arrested but released whilst the police try to sort out what's what. The article doesn't say if the arrest is still active or not. He was driving a car that was in a dangerous condition and that's an offence.

If the car maker says everything is fine, the police have a problem so they will arrest everyone 'til the courts sort it out.

Must use EVA. They have bathrooms on their planes

watched 2 seconds of the clip. I feel so ill now.

I think the whole approach is wrong. This is a Thai problem not a visitor problem. As far as the "foreigners behaving badly" thing goes, It strikes me that a lot of it is down to the perception of Thailand to the rest of the world. It (Thailand) has a reputation as being a reasonably lawless place where anything goes. Phone scam companies. Love scam nigerians. Police killers who have "connections". Politicians who can get away with lying, cheating and stealing and never go to prison when caught. The list is endless. There are many examples of police negligence and corruption. This problem encourages normal law abiding westerners to do things they would not dream of doing in their own country. Like has been said. The many must suffer for the actions of the few. But Thailand really really needs to get it's act together regarding this perception problem.

Yep. That's what happens in Thailand. The locals will help themselves when your not looking. I lost a couple of mine 'til I moved here full time.

Quite so, but there is also the possibility of growing a rubber plantation which will yield an income when the trees start producing. When the rubber trees have passed their useful production age then they can be sold for timber (have a look at rubber wood sold by Thai Watsadu amongst others). Another quick return tree would of course be Eucalyptus which is used for paper making. Not my favourite tree by a long way because of it's root system but a quick growing earner.

My wife and I have set aside about 20 Rai of our land for trees. The species is mixed but mainly Yang Na, Pradu, Sactong and various Acacia varieties. The land is in central Buriram and there is no restriction on harvesting other than what you cut down must be replaced with another tree. Land values have increased more than ten fold over the last ten years or so and is currently selling for 300k/Rai but that is the price off the beaten track. In villages an towns and adjacent to main routes the sky's the limit.

Minor correction. HTMS Chonburi moored anchored at sea after accidental weapons discharge Unless, of course, there was a mooring buoy handy. Skipper is due for court martial tomorrow.

Here you go: The following is in bold print below the picture in the OP. "The Navy has relocated HTMS Chonburi out to sea, from the naval base in Chon Buri province, after a jammed artillery shell was accidentally discharged into HTMS Khirirat, which was docked nearby."

Thailand has been fabricating basic semiconductors and integrated circuits for as long as I can remember. There is no IP problem with that and if there was then it would not be shipped offshore.

Why do I find myself believing this?

This is total rubbish. AI or human. Rice will never "keep" for ten years. What was the moisture content? What colour were the tested grains?

Can someone please explain how a shell which is jammed, can be fired?

This is right but the unmentioned caveat is the length of journey between charges becomes less and less over the years. Lithium ion batteries, like all other chemistries, will fade. Keeping the batteries fully charged in high ambient temperatures they fade quicker. Trying to charge them in very low ambient temperatures will destroy them quickly.
