British Man Drives 500 km to See 'Lamduan,' Sisaket’s Baby Hippo

The only positive thing about katoeys is that they don't regard themselves as women nor do they insist that you regard them as such, they are just katoeys. I remember once that a katoey approached me in a cafe/bar when my wife went to the toilet, he took great delight in making me feel uncomfortable, asking me whether I thought he was desirable and if I would like his phone number for some sex, he knew I wasn't interested but liked to watch me squirm with embarrassment as I tried to stay polite, he disappeared quickly when my wife returned, laughing as he went.

The dollar is now used in only 54% of international trade invoices. Sometimes decades of progress are made in only a few years. The US economy is built on unsustainable debt, that isn't a strong foundation for the future.

Brics already have a Brics pay card, circumventing SWIFT. Thailand has applied to join Brics, I dread to think what this will mean for our western currency exchange rates in a few years time.

Correct, I just watched a podcast from Mark Faber, it appears that neither Trump or Harris consider the US debt to be a problem, they know it is but there is nothing, from a political standpoint, that they can do. Who would vote for a party that says taxes have to be raised, social programs have to be reduced, pensions for government employees have to be reduced by 30%. Far better to just keep printing knowing that the BRICS hammer will smash the dollar in 3 to 5 years. Already Asian countries are storing massive amounts of gold and selling dollar debt because they know that it's unsustainable for the US to pay a trillion dollar interest on its debt per year, payments which require even more printing, this stops any effort to rejuvenate the failing infrastructure. I had to laugh when he described the two candidates as the dumb one and the communist without naming names. It doesn't matter who wins, the West is f***ed.

Thailand’s stock market sees a ‘baht’ of foreign interest
soalbundy replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Money is neutral, it doesn't care who owns it or what it's used for. People however can use it pragmatically, invest it to strengthen a company and increase jobs or for good in a philanthropic manner or for evil which causes harm to others while enriching oneself, it is a truly democratic medium which allows all things to all people. I think it was Mark Twain who said, "Man is the only animal that blushes....or needs to", but you can't blame money for greed, that is an intrinsic part of mans nature. -

Money never cared about politics unless it felt threatened by policies, money is pragmatic, all it wants to do is multiply in safety. -
The Next Pandemic: Will We Be Ready or Caught Off Guard?
soalbundy replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Nature's cull is coming, she's trying to reach equilibrium in the human species as she has achieved with all other species, cross the line for the ideal number and you get decimated back to sustainability.....but we keep thwarting her with vaccines so maybe mental illness, war and low fertility combined with starvation due to our destruction of the environment will do the job just as well. -
It's bleeding obvious unless you're woke and stupid, unfortunately they have enough judicial power behind them to ruin the lives of the sane who refuse to call Joe Blogs she, her, they or them. Thailand has it right, they are Katoeys, neither men or women, the third sex. I note with dismay however that the press in Thailand has copied the west and now referrers to such deviants as Trans=women instead of the time honoured designation Katoey used by the general public.

Thai worker killed by leftover ammunition in Israeli orchard

They don't stand alone, I rather think that Israel is being used as a proxy by the west, especially with regard to Iran. -

The west isn't in a war in the middle east although Britain and France have caused enough reason to be involved in one from past colonial decisions and Israel can't 'drag' anybody into one. Historically Jews have been persecuted and cheated for centuries by various European countries, pogroms were useful for states to avoid paying debts to wealthy groups of Jewish merchants. -
A lot of the trouble with Iran stems from British and American interference starting with the inauguration of the Schah by the UK, now it's too late to shut Pandora's box. There are laws of causality which are always valid and they sometimes go back hundreds of years. The effects of the UK trading opium with China and then starting a war with them when they started to fight back against the addictions this was causing still resonate with the Chinese to this day.
