  1. Life is terminal; death begins immediately after birth.
  2. China is very active in trying to purchase (gain control of) critical global infrastructure. This has been happening in all regions, especially over the past decade.
  3. Zelensky understands Russia and Putin better than the idiots in the White House.
  4. All part of the China-Russia plan to kill off the USA and destabilise the world so they can take over - Putin's asset in the White House is doing well. After the US falls, China will take over Russdia.
  5. Good for business for those in the military supplying drugs.
  6. Agreed, but .... Every day I witness motorbikes turning into traffic without looking, changing lanes without looking, etc.
  7. Source - "Based on a report by Daily Mail 2025-02-21". England's leading medical newspaper?
  8. Could your please provide a copy of your institution's Ethics Approval for this study.
  9. Very unhinged, or a great actor. In either case, he needs to be removed from power and institutionalised.
  10. European tourists generally consult the news - eg English/German/etc. language press about Thailand. European tourists generally research potential tourist destinations. European tourists generally plan ahead. European tourists are aware of Thailand's great support for Ukraine at the UN and Thailand's boycotts and sanctions against Putin and Russia.
  11. Maybe some people in the Trump administration have been reading news reports about Thailand and see Thailand as a Chinese colony or workshop.
  12. Basically, most Thais are racist. I do not know how many times I have been in a small Thai group (as the only farang), and heard myself being referred to as "farang", although most people in these groups knew my name. Once, just to test the waters, I spoke about one member in a group (who I knew was at least 75% of Chinese ancestry) by referring to him as "jek" - everyone froze. I just smiled. Then you listen to some non-Central Thais talk about the peoples of/from Isan, Lanna or Patani (sic), or "worse" the Burmese, Khmer or Lao (and Vietnamese); but far worse, in my experience, has been reading about and listening to Thais talk about any "Asian" ethnic minority groups in Thailand, especially the "hill tribe" people. With the ultra nationalist political parties and groups in Thailand, it is at times hard to imagine Thailand being in a regional group such as ASEAN. As I started "most Thais"; I have many Thai friends over many decades who consider me as a friend, not a "farang".
  13. I am sorry, I was not clear enough. For memory, and I maybe wrong, a person with shingles cannot be vaccinated until the outbreak clears up. I was referring to why you did not get vaccinated.
  14. Although I agree, but considering the very close relationship between some current and former senior member of the Royal Thai Army and the leaders of the Myanmar Junta (and their large "investments" in Thailand), I doubt that this will happen anytime soon.
  15. The BJT Party - an influential Party of "influential" people. - just look at the Senate "appointments".
  16. All these recent reports of gun violence in Thailand; seems the country is moving to the Wild Wild West era in the USA. Problems of police non law enforcement; guns readily available online; a growing disenchantment amongst Thai youth as they see no future for themselves in this country/(world); rapidly expanding private debt; excessive focus on face/consumerism in Thailand - an explosive cocktail.
  17. The Democrat Party needs major changes, and quickly. Too many of the old generation are "owned" by US big business interests. Time quick change, before Trump and his storm troopers destroy the USA.
  18. A convicted international drug trafficker?
  19. Your young son had shingles at 11; and you did not think to get vaccinated?
  20. Correlation or coincidence does not imply causation.
  21. Hopefully he will not be allowed back into the USA.
  22. Rather than "urge", the very powerful Interior Minister should "demand" complete law and regulation enforcement under the threat of failure of a government officer's to carry out their duties that they be dismissed and imprisoned. But TIT.
