  1. This young lady who arrived from a country called Thailand is finding her exceptional opportunity like I did. I beleive she has been in the US for about 5 years.
  2. An A380 could fly nonstop from BKK to LAX but the load factor might not be high enough to be profitable. Distance is around 8300 NM. An A350-900ULR would be the most suitable aircraft. I believe Thai Airways has some A350's but do not know if they have the ULR(Ultra Long Range).
  3. Best option might to check out one of the coworking places like Camp at Maya Mall or Yellow(they have some small rooms but most people bring own their machines). Really can't think of any place that meets your requirements. Plenty of places offer internet access on old pc's but no privacy and often noisy.
  4. So the simple answer is America still offers great opportunities for success? The key is a person must be willing to work hard and start at the bottom reglardless of social status or national origin. Kind of sound like me: A poor kid who was born in Busan and was able to join the US Army as a legal residen alien who becaame a naturalized American citizen with the assitance of an Army Jag officer. Yes, I have had my share of prejudice, discrimination and blatant racism but it is a vast country and finding a place of accpetance is not always easy but achievalbe. Maybe Sweden is better but doubt they would ever let me stay for more than 90 days.
  5. I know it's bad but why do so many still want to come? No one seems to be able to answer as to why so many from many parts of the world want to enter such an awful place? Canada or Mexico seem like paradise compared to the USA.
  6. 1) I don't have an "excuse" 2) The greatest soldier I ever knew was SFC Walter Goss-US Army Green Beret.RIP. 3) where is this "internet" affirmatioin chamer? Is is like "the Dark Web"?
  7. Actually Green Berets have to be sxcellents swimmers as well. How do you know he does not swim well? Did you ASS U ME this becasue he is of African descent?
  8. Did the Thai Airways LAX-BKK-LAX multiple times. Last time was in 2007. It was on the A340-500 and the Premium Economy seats were nice. The avergae flight time was 14 to 16 hours nonstop. The plane was never full and suspect it was because of the distance and need to carry more fuel. Thai used to have a BKK-ICN-LAX flight and did that last in 2013. It was on a B777-300ER. If Thai buys the A350-900ULR like Singapore Airlines nonstop from BKK to both LAX and EWR or JFK is possible.
  9. As a naturalized American I look at exceptionalism this way: Exceptional opportunity for everyone who puts in the effort. Like this guy: SFC Gai US Army-Green Beret. . I can't think of many other countries that gives someone like this the opprotunity to achieve success like this. As they say Hoorah, SFC Gai.
  10. The main point is in other countries the location, date, time and cause of any food related illness or incident that could impact the dining public would be made public. In The Land of Smiles defamation laws prevent this? Does the Ministry of Health shut down locations that have poor hygiene or safety practicies? What if glass in food was an intentional act? Getting to the facts is not a priority? So my thinking is false equivalency? Nexti tiime you swallow glass while eating out just think false eqyuvalency. I mean exactly how does glass get into spaghetti? Was the sauce made at the location or from a food factory? Who prepared the dish? Was it unintentional or intentional and meant to injure a diner? Thailand has a such a stellar reputation in conducting through and complete investigation that answer that all relevant questiions that we can all be rest assured and go out eat in comfort.
  11. "Thai Pizza Chain" could mean different things. I believe the Hut in LOS is owned and operated by a local company.
  12. Yes and brother of Beau. Currently starring in the FX series "The Old Man". One of my favorites of 2024.
  13. That is the American way. The flip side is lawsuits are public and often this leads to change. The question is What leads to change in Thailand? After 8 years here I have no idea what drives change in LOS.
  14. I guess you never saw the classisc Jeff Bridges movie?
  15. Ok. Thanks for the sincere apology Lebowski. I did not start this. You did.
  16. 1) Don't call me dude 2) How do you know I lack commons sense" Do you know me? No. You just read one comment and came to that conclusion. 3) I have no idea if you have or lack common sense. Nor do I care to know.
  17. "Pot calling the kettle black?
  18. Why because you are the authority on this?
  19. So are you know the designated defender of Thailands's Honor and reputation?
  20. Both are not meant to be entered into the GI track. The glass is an immiediate hazard to all you ingest. In terms of E Coli some will have minimal effects. Both are health hazards and the general public should be made aware of both as soon as possible. Of course in the Land of Smiles "we don't need to know".
  21. Was this a one time incident? Or was it intentional? No one knows at this point. So just "ASSUME" sabi sabi and is all is well. TiT means then just assume the risk and carry one. Got it.
  22. Both are dangerous and possibly fatal once it enters the GI track. This is basic health knowledge.
  23. When Jack In The Box in the US had an E Coli outbreak the entire country knew in a matter of days. This may have saved lives. I have never swallowed glass while eating and I would never want to. This almost makes it seem like "eat out at your own risk?
  24. Does "Pizza The Hut" serve chicken? Can asking a general question be considered as defamation in the Land of Smiles?
  25. Is there a seperate fine for "insulting officials"?
