No.
I am only referring to the well-known blessing for excretion.
Well known? By whom?

I find this discrimination against plumbers offensive and hurtful. As a young plumber back in the 1940s I was one of those that enabled the population to have piped water and their excrement got rid of without getting their hands dirty. They would make expert MOD's, whatever they are? and good leaders and members of parliament. Many who seem to be up to their elbows in the stuff. I propose a Plumber's Pride Parade. Where plumbers can flaunt their tools and plungers to gain attention and equal rights. PPP has a nice ring to it.😉

I beg to differ Joe has lots and lots of real world experience in matters of state and diplomacy.trump has experience of being a loud mouth New Yorker with a big mouth and money.without an open Mike to make a circus trump will get clobbered bigley!!
Yes, Biden has the experience but unfortunately he is well past his sell by date. I think he may struggle in the suggested two hour debate. But you can't turn the clock back. One wonders who is the next leader of the Democrats in waiting?

I would think recruiting a couple of local lads to make him an offer he couldn't refuse might have solved the problem.

It is not unusual for incorrect dishes to be served, when dining at certain restaurants, even when my wife orders, we sometimes receive the wrong order. Issues such as poor food quality, undercooked meals, and incorrect orders are not exactly uncommon occurrences - we learn to roll with it.
What stands out as particularly unusual for most of us, yet seems to happen with disconcerting regularity for Bob, is the negative human interaction he experiences when dealing with Thais.
The only logical deduction is that Bob, for whom such encounters are the norm, somehow invites these experiences upon himself. Conversely, for the vast majority of us, such occurrences remain somewhat alien and outside the usual realm of experience.
Do you believe Bob? I think he has a bumper book of 'Stories to wind up readers.' And just picks one at random. Some fall for it.

Never send food back to the kitchen. The chef is likely to take revenge by adding a 'not nice' ingredient. I remember Keith Floyd relating a story on the wireless many years ago. A customer used to eat at his restaurant and say the food was very nice, but.." Always something to fault. Keith elaborately prepared a beer mat, British type. "Especially for you." The customer enjoyed it without a complaint. You never know what these chefs are up to.😉

Something smells about this article. Old wives tale or fact? How often while having one beer or a g+t have I heard my wife say "You're drinking. I was just going to give you some durian." I would think that if you are consuming a bucket of beer then it would be unwise to eat durian, my favourite fruit. Ripe that is. Burp! Pardon me.😋

How did he get the job again ? 🙄🙈
Maybe he is sent out of the country to allow the clan to do their wheeler dealing without any interruptions.

in the states the GOP response is thoughts n prayers as kids rae gunned down in school..yet nothing is done about it
The usual rolled out 'thoughts and prayers' mantra is as much use as a one legged man in a backside kicking contest. Prayers achieve nothing. Deeds do.

My spiritual exercise is lifting a couple of gin and tonics most evenings, while relaxing on my veranda, enjoying the lush vegetation and cool breeze. I think it's called chilling out, in the modern parlance.😉

Why do these reports always feature the commanders of the various squads/stations when it’s actually the lance corporals and sergeants who actually conduct the investigations?
in the UK the commanders might appear at a press conference for an extremely serious or troubling case, otherwise they are not mentioned.

On 5/9/2024 at 4:24 PM, snoop1130 said:News broke into the public domain yesterday, May 8, as a foreign family sparked national outrage after allowing their daughter to urinate publicly at Bangkok's Wat Phra Kaew, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Wat Phra Kaew is not just a major tourist attraction but also a site deeply revered by Thais.
Harit Thavornkij, the eyewitness who exposed the incident, shared an image on his Facebook account of the deed taking place, right outside the palace, inciting a furious response from Thai netizens. Quickly gathering steam, this post has sparked a contentious debate, lightly touching on issues of tourism, respect, public decency and xenophobia.
The photo shows the unidentified foreign couple carelessly observing their young daughter relieving herself, an act perceived as a direct affront to the temple's sanctity. The post has since exploded virally, amassing over 2,600 reactions, 680 comments, and 1,400 shares, with netizens largely expressing dismay and anger.
Many clamoured for stringent actions against such disrespectful behaviour, with calls for blacklisting the family to safeguard national and religious monuments. Others called for a clampdown on visa regulations for tourists, as one user commented, "It's time to focus on quality tourists".
This indignation was noted by Tourism and Sports Minister Sermsak Phongpanich, who told MGR Online that the act was objectionable due to the temple's sanctity and could somewhat tarnish the image of Thai tourism.
However, not all opinions leaned toward outrage. A number of Thai citizens felt the reaction was overblown, highlighting that the young girl herself might have had an urgent need and was too little to understand the gravity of the situation. They argued against locking out tourists based on isolated incidents of misjudgement.
Amid this defining national debate, one Thai user called for equality in the treatment of offenders, suggesting the couple should face charges or fines as a Thai offender would have. The user cited a previous case where a Thai man was punished for spraying graffiti on Wat Phra Kaew's wall, bringing to light possible double-standards in the way local law perceives foreigners vis-a-vis Thai nationals.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. The sky is falling in. What do you do when a young child is taken short. The person that took the picture should be vilified. Should be ashamed of his or her self.

Re. My 'Anyone confused by TM7 form' question. I did my application yesterday 8th May at Jomtien and it went very quickly. Maybe because my wife was in charge as usual. The only hiccup was that I had to go and get another photo, this time with a white background. No comment on the amount of Tippex white paper I'd used on my application form. The young officer handling the application recognised my wife from previous years and congratulated here on all her documentation being perfect. As for me. I sat like a dummy and kept schtum. Passport to be collected Monday.. It used to be 'after 2 o'clock.' Then 'the next day.' Maybe the accumulation of public holidays has caused the delay. Anyway. I'm chilled out till next year.
It reminds me of the advise supposedly given to the colonial ladies' If you are being raped, there is nothing you can do about it. Just lay back and thing of England.'😉

12 hours ago, snoop1130 said:An American man named Selva Delano Mudaliar was taken into custody by Thai police in Bangkok's Bang Phlat district yesterday. The man was previously on the run after being charged with multiple sex offenses in the United States.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had been working with Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) to extradite Mudaliar, a 37-year-old US citizen of Asian descent. He is reported to be 180 cm tall and weighs 90 kg.
Mudaliar's criminal past includes numerous violent attacks, kidnapping, rape, and forcing his victims into sex trafficking, according to an article in Matichon. Mudaliar was charged with 11 counts related to sexual violence, assault, and sex trafficking, all of which could lead to life imprisonment. He avoided court appearances after being released on bail.
Thailand had been Mudaliar's home for over three months, the FBI discovered. Since arriving in Thailand in February on a tourist visa, he had been moving around constantly, mostly staying in hotels and rented apartments throughout Bangkok.
Mudaliar was known to frequent local nightlife spots and interact with both Thai and foreign women. He often invited women to his place, but there haven't been any reports of offenses committed against women in Thailand.
After extensive investigation, the police nabbed Mudaliar in his Bangkok apartment on May 6. He will be extradited to the US for subsequent legal action.
The CIB proudly revealed its successful operation, noting that it only took 10 days to locate and apprehend the foreign offender.

Does anyone else get confused about the way the TM7 form is laid out. Time and again, I fill it in and then realise that I've filled it in under the wrong headings. There must be a way for Immigration to produce a form simple enough for ninety year old codgers like me to get right first time. My brain hurts.😉
Has anyone submitted a computer printed TM7 that's in black ink to Jomtien Immigration and its been accepted?
