But one might have a better chance if a Thai girl/woman has actually seen that the world is bigger than her hometown. Trying to convicne a Thai person to see things from my perspective is like insanity. I leave them alone to live in their own space. This achieves peace for both us.

I think a question a foreign man should ask a Thai woman that he meets in LOS is this: Have you ever been or lived in another country? If she says yes then it there is a chance the two will be compatible. In my first few years in CNX all the women I met had never been out of the country. This was understandable because many can't afford it. I met one lady who had lived in Singapore for a few years and one who had been to San Franscisco. These were the only two that I felt compatible with. For me if I am not compatible with a woman then there is no hope for a relationship.

I was a teenager in the late 1970's and Foreginer was and still is my favorite band. I stop everytime I hear Lou Gramm. To me he has a magical voice. This was my favorite part of the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall Fame ceremony. I never liked this song but hearing and seeing an old and frail Lou Gramm on stage with Kelly Clarkson made my day:

Doubt that. I have been using Maxim for about 2 weeks and Indrive for 2 days. Was with Grab for 5 years and the last 3 to 4 months have been the worst But Grad Food Delivery still is very good. I would say Grab probably has me flagged because I raised a stink for the 60% overcharge until it was resolved. It took mutiple messages and mutiple screenshots of the overcharge before Grab settled the matter. It seemed like at first Grab did not believe me. Hence i no longer use Grab for rides. Also, one fo the Grab drivers showed me what he sees when he picks up a ride request. The App on his end shows a customer rating. Last time I checked mine was 5 stars. This was because I always tipped. The drivers rate the passengers just as a passenger can rate a driver. As for Maxim the only rating option was a thumbs up or thumbs down. No stars on Maxim.

Did a little experiment this morning comparing Maxim with InDrive. Location: CNX-Nimman Soi 12 Destination: Pantip Plaza approximate distance of 4 Km Time: 1030 1) Hailed on Maxim and the result was no drivers available. I gave it 10 minutes and canceled. Maxim asked "why"??? 2) Hailed InDrive and the friendly female driver arrived in 4 minutes. 3) Cost was about the same: Maxim was 75 Baht and InDrive was 71 Baht. The conclusion was on this day and time InDrive was the better option.

Soon can be a long time. I looked at the map on my last ride and it took the driver 15 minutes to arrive and he started at 2 kilometers from the pickup point. I know traffic is bad but "come on mab".

1) I live in the middle of the city. My usual destinations are major malls in the city or the airprot. 2) I used to always tip Grab drivers. No more. 3) The same problem still persists with Grab and now Maxim.

At 500K I was considering it in the past. But when I saw the new pricing meant an 80% increase I thought "what are these people thinking?". It seems like they have come back to reality for now. 650K for 5 years seems reasonable to me.

This was inevitable. The only question is why did he resign from Congress so quickly?

How is a death sentence carried out LOS? 1) Lethal injection 2) Public hanging 3) Firiing squad 4) Like they do in Saudi Arabia?

Great but not to put a damper on 30 Million but you know what other country will hit 30 Mil as well: 2024 Japan expects to welcome 35 million tourists by the end of the year, a 10% increase from 2019 The numbers for "The Land of the Rising Sun" is even more impressive for two important reasons: 1) Japan is much more expensive thatn LOS 2) Japan has 3 to 4 months of winter weather that will reduce the number of visitors. Many tourists chose quality over cheap. I do not see LOS hitting the dream target of 40 Million.

Has anyone heard of the new Elite Bronze status? It is for 5 years and the price is 650,000 Baht. If this is true does this mean the brains at Thaialnd Elite made a mistake in raising the price fo the Gold Status (also for 5 years) to 900,000 Baht. TIT. Of course no Thai business or agency makes mistakes. I apologize for saying such an absurd thing. If the price for the 5 year had not gone to 900,000 I probably would have bought it.

500 Baht. Come on. At least get a 1000. Many years ago I pulled over a driver from New York because he ran a stop sign. When I approached the driver he presented his NY drivers license with a $50 dollar bill. I returned the license and $50. I told him "I guess this is standard procedure in New York". He smiled and I sent him on his way. Also, the term "assgined to administrative duties" is code for he will be back when the attention on this fades away.

No need. Only people from CA know who Brown is.

Willie Brown and not Bubba from Hope, Arkansas. Brown was the "godfather" CA politics for decades. He is now 90 and is living a quiet life.

Yes. I have seen the "driver not moving " after accepting the riide request many times. Do these driver not realize that the customer can see the map?

But he still represents the US to the world. At APEC the President of the United States now stands behind the Prime Minister of Malaysia and the President of S. Korea. Premier Xi stands in front. This is not disparaging but the truth.

I stopped using Grab because I was overcharged last month without explanation. It did take 3 weeks to get the overcharge amount refunded. As usual no expalnation. no admission of anything and of course no apology. That is that for Grab rides. I started using Maxim and in the beginning things were fine. For the last two rides this is the process: 3 to 5 drivers take the ride and then cancel. Today the first 5 drivers took the ride from Central Airport to Nimman Soi 12 and then canceled. The 5th driver was stationary on the Kad Luang side of the mall and I was on the Top Markets side on Mahidol road. My location was clearly visible on the Maxim application map. This driver called me and asked two questions: Where are you and how many people? I replied on the Tops Market entrance side and one. She then replied "forget you" and canceled. OK, TiT and "welcome to the land of smiles" (555). I finally got a driver to take my request for ride. This was the 7th driver. I have no idea what is going on now with Maxim drivers. The 7th driver was actually polite and courteous. The service was good and this has became a rarity for me in CNX.

Are you sure he actually made this decision?

Did he try and smell her hair?

He has been relegated to the back row. I wonder if he knows who the lady standing next to him is?

Most of aircraft landing at CNX are B737 or A319, 320 or 321 series so 10 to 15 knot tailwind should be within performance limitaions. To my surprise I just saw aThai Airways B787 taking off on RWY 36. So it looks 36 is now in operation.

Probably not 50% but it can be a dangerous landing attempt. . Many years ago I was trying land a Cessna 172 at my local airport and the wind had changed from a head to a tailwind and I almsot ran off the runway. The runway was 5000 feet. I called the tower later and asked did they notice the change in wind direction. The tower said they woudl get back to me. I am still waiting.

Senator Tammy Duckworth of IL is on the Senate Armed Services Committee. She is a Democrat. Also, she is a retired Lt Col from the Illinois Army National Guard who lost both legs while flying a Blackhawk helicoprter in Iraq. The helicopter was shot down. Her questions to Hegseth will be very interesting. This is irreleavnt to the subject but she was born in Thailand and is half Thai.

So any Sec Def candidate who worked at a Defense Contract company is disaqualified?
