One person's terrorist, is another person's freedom fighter. Ask the Statue of Liberty who is what.

Will not happen - kickbacks have already been paid.

Not surprised, Putin wants total control, and to achieve what Hitler could not.

"If China invades ..."? It seems that China has already invaded!!! Chinese tourists (but really so many Chinese criminals - check the Thai daily press reports), cheap Chinese produce, so many Chinese businesses (as well as China-controlled Chinese-Thai businesses), and soon a high-speed train to move the PLA into Thailand, as well as Chinese military bases in Cambodia and Myanmar.

I have had the same issue with my Australian banks (which have my address in Thailand). I have explained that, thus far, although I have been at times a tax resident of Thailand, I have never remitted assessable income to Thailand, and thus I do not need to submit a Thai tax form, and thus I do not have a Thai TIN. This explanation has been accepted by my banks in Australia.

If a significant minority of the American voters (about 49.8%) knowingly voted for the unstable psychopath, then they are getting what they voted for. No use complaining about massive inflation (short-term pain according to Trump), increased unemployment, loss of international allies, closure of government programmes and departments, etc. as this is what you voted for USA - a fascist republic. And the now useless Democrats - you people really need to get your act together. Probably time for new political parties in the USA.

From recent news reports on violence by "tourists", surely Pattaya will be the next target.

Less than 100 years old is ancient? Considering all the dinosaurs alive in Thailand, maybe it is.

Yet again!!! Safety first? Not in Thailand. Rama II traffic congestion will be a major headache for the next few days. Thankfully, this accident did not happen during daylight, as the death toll could have been substantially higher. Will the Government Minister responsible resign? Not in Thailand.

Seems ATTA is attacking TAT - with good reason.

Madness!!!

At least the British Embassy is doing something for British nationals in Thailand, unlike the Australians!! Have been following the Oz Embassy FB page for yonks, and cannot recall anything relating to consular affairs being posted (maybe my memory is at fault 5 5 5).

Hua Hin not listed .... thankfully.

It all depends on what country/countries in the West one is referring to.

Stupid is, stupid does; "American Idiot".

Why "foreign" nationals? Why not say "Chinese" nationals (as this is not the first case of such behaviour by involving Chinese)? Of course, saying "Chinese" would be racist, but singling out "foreigners" is not racist, right? Thais would never store dangerous substances in a residential area, would they?

Ignorance is bliss. Normally, one has to wait a few months for the impact of economic/financial policy changers to begin to register in the data, and about 6 months for the near-full impact to be registered.

The Democrats have lost the plot; with their move to the right, it is not surprising that many big donors are holding back of more funding.

Excuses excuses excuses.

Naturally, why should Putin compromise when he thinks he is in a winning position, just like Hitler in mid 1944?

Hundreds of millions more likely. Yet, although many of Trump's one-eyed supporters and followers are still wearing their orange coloured glasses, many others have come to the realisation that they have been conned by the snake oil salesman. Time will tell.

CraP .. 7-11 does not care about the environment, only profits. Were not CraP's food profits up about 457%, yes 457%, last year over the previous year? CraP is good at greenwashing.

I suspect the first of many more incidents to come; especially from the Trump-voting MAGA supporters who feel betrayed and are now suffering because of Trump's changes.

It is simple, Putin, like Hitler, wants to control Europe. All of Hitler's non-aggression pacts just made it easier for Hitler to gain control of more and more of Europe. The same will happen with Ukraine - a ceasefire gives Putin the change to regroup and prepare for attacks on western Europe.

Shock horror. Not surprised. Was the captain carrying out Putin's orders?
