Polluted water if you are lucky, urine most likely.

The West needs Musk, like the West needs Putin and Xi. Can you imagine anyone worse than Adolf Hitler and Pol? The answer is yes, and they are in power in the USA now.

Is Thailand a Chinese province or a Chinese colony?

Does one need any more evidence that Trump is working for Putin?

I am not in your situation, but .... I would give some thought to what alternatives you may enact if Musk or Trump decide to kill US pensions/benefits paid into OS accounts. These are troubling times and no one whose who next will be targeted or terminated by Musk-Trump-Vance.

As markets sink deeper and deeper, many on this forum will probably be worried as their retirement funds are linked to stock market investments - ergo, stock markets collapse, and stay down, retirement benefits disappear.

Meanwhile, most Thai economists are saying major economic structural reforms are needed; which will not happen as the super wealthy Thai businesses like the current system as they can make large profits. Did not CPFoods declare last week that last year's profits were up 457? per cent last year? International economic/financial bodies have been warning for most of the century that major structural reforms are need if Thailand is to advance, but .... TIT .... and connections rule.

What thumping? Trump received 49.8 % of the votes (77.3 million) and Harris 48.3% of the votes (75.0 million). Trump received 2.3 million votes more than Harris (according the the NBC News website). That is not a thumping, it is a close result. Also it indicates the undemocratic nature of the US Electoral College system.

Markets are going to sink as long as Trump is in power, with probably the US market hardest hit. Massive inflation and unemployment are about to his the USA, and will only stop once Trump-Vance-Musk are removed from power, and preferably imprisoned.

Just another indication that the current government is out of touch with the reality of most Thai people, and that the current government and Senate are interested in feathering their own nests and those of their "influential" supporters. They only show any interests in the plight of Thai people when it is around election time.

It is difficult to remain "married" to an insane, uncontrollable, unpredictable spouse.

Probably now is the best opportunity for China's invasion of Taiwan in decades - with the USA in turmoil and senior US military personnel unsure of what they need to do.

Who but a fascist or insane person would want to reconcile with Trump?

What else would you expect from Anutin? As health Minister he was a disaster (according to medical professional friends). And now he has Interior?

What a joke. Thai delegation of Chinese puppets/agents?

Rubico, Putin's and Trump's lap dog.

Because I care about the future of the planet.

Can I say its all about timing - time of day, day of week, holiday, road works, etc. I have driven from Hua Hin to Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok in about 2 hours and 45 minutes many a time.

Will the "Deep State" step in and "remove" Trump-Vance before the USA implodes?

A big win for the free world - Trump-Vance reveal their true selves to the world. But, a bigger win for China, North Korea, Russia, etc. - the free world has lost its biggest player - the USA - divide and conquer.

Lies, lies, lies, and more lies.

Received SMS early yesterday morning. Went to local KrungThai branch at 1055 - very long line, of mostly Thais, waiting. Back to bank at midday - slightly shorter line, but with about a dozen farangs waiting. Will try again next week.

Message to US-based oil companies - karma can be a bitch sometimes. I am not crying.

Seems Taksin will do anything to make his Chinese masters happy. Thailand a Buddhist country? In name only!!

Just to stress Sheryl's comment. "Together with recent blood in your urine, these could be serious signs." (emphasis added) "You need to stop googling and see an actual doctor. "
