Rescue Team in Thailand Hopes for Miracle Survivor Under Rubble
tomazbodner replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
The survivor could have also had water with him when going up, it's hot and there's no 7-11 at the top of the building... though maybe a liter or so would not last very long... -

THAI's Sky-High Deal: 45 Dreamliners to Revamp Fleet
tomazbodner replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'm no fan of Boeing aircraft or company, but Dreamliner is my favourite bird from them, and TG already has a handful of them which I've flown several times. They do look a little dated from the outside but still wonderful to fly. So it makes sense for the airline to increase the fleet of these, regardless of politics. -
Thais are waiting the whole year for these few days when they can behave like 5 year old children. Suggestion to make it only one day for the sake of not losing business is like saying scrap the Christmas and New Year holidays as they are bad for business. Imagine how much money bars and alcohol shops could make during that days of closures... And how much money is lost when people travel other places to spend money... Maybe should ban travel altogether so people spend money at home? Net effect of Songkran is positive and there are loads of childish foreigners flying into Thailand to join the fighting... in fact I think foreigners are behaving far worse than Thais when it comes to water games. But listen, this is Thailand and is ran by Thai people. They decide what they want to do and Songkran, a Thai New Year, is deeply engraved into their culture. I admit that I hate this week enough that I get to airport and get the hell out of here just before splashing starts... but that's not because of Songkran itself - which is a very gentle affair of washing away the bad of the past year, but because of what it turned to. There's a massive difference between traditional songkran, celebrated at home, or pouring fragnant water over someone's hands, wishing them good luck, and having a bucket of water emptied on you from a passing pickup. So maybe it's not Songkran that should be shortened or removed, but the water wars limited to areas where those "young at heart" can go and play Russians and Ukrainians.

Worst Joke Ever 2025

Circulating on social media: My bro in the US told me he’d been seeing this Thai escort and paying her $100 a shag for a while but last night she was charging him $136 so he asked her why and she said it’s because of the new 36% tariffs on Thai products and services into the US. -
“Strong evidence, including Chansley’s own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government,” prosecutors wrote. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/15/capitol-rioters-planned-capture-kill-officials-say-prosecutors Just because assassinating opponents and causing chaos is your modus operandi, it doesn't mean the other side is the same. Or, are you now saying Trump is leftist and so are you, the supreme being admirer?

British Woman Arrested at Phuket Airport for 207-Day Visa Overstay
tomazbodner replied to Georgealbert's topic in Phuket News
Well... if she was arrested before the immigration counter, even if she had 20k, the rules of surrendering to border immigration would not apply and she would be treated like if she was picked up anywhere on the street in the middle of Thailand. That's something that was discussed many times before. When on overstay, keep low profile and get to the immigration counter, it's only after that, that the lower penalty rules come into play. -

So, you're a very small minority of only 20% then. Why do you keep on driveling like you were some massive majority? You're nobody. -
Never was.

I am fully expecting MAGA crowd to now come and tell how nobody will miss Nike, that it's pile of 💩 they would never consider wearing, that Shiff is an i-diot who knows nothing, dig up some made up scandal, attack me as a lefty, in other words - do whatever they can to discredit the messenger and smear the brand which dares to resist their divine leader... 3, 2, 1,...

Interesting news for those who expected companies to get on their knees and bring manufacturing (back) to US.. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/peter-schiff-says-nike-wont-180018691.html Sorry folks, but global companies would rather keep 7.5 billion customers' market than drop all of that to please 400m... or rather 1 man.

I agree that doing nothing is not a good way forward, and something needs to be done to get the debt, spiraling out of control, back in check. But HOW Trump approached it, destroying the global economy and doubling down on something that is very unlikely to work for US, and would probably affect US even more than others. So no, I don't agree with this tariffs. But agree with likely outcome of his ill conceived actions on Joe Citizen and the rest of the World.

Please throw them out and bar them

Of course there is. Ban alcohol. Would he dare to do something like that in a Muslim country? -
Actually, here's the problem. Trump has no idea what the other countries are charging the US. The formula that they used was something made up to amplify the figures, but isn't actually even related to any tariffs. It is pretty clear from the press conference that Trump himself had no idea what was on the chart, and started reading out the top words on the chart, completely unaware of anything below it. Thailand doesn't impose 72% tariffs on US imports. That is the TRADE SURPLUS, or rather how much more Thailand exports to US than it imports. And why is that? Well, because US (and much of the West) moved nearly all of its manufacturing to low cost countries like China over the past 3-4 decades, so basically nothing other than agriculture products and services are there to be exported. Also, the tariffs that were just posted are ADDITIONAL tariffs. So if someone already had 50% tariffs, and got 30% tariffs, then they now don't have 30% but 80% tariffs. While, obviously trying to address short time shock, everyone is visiting Trump to negotiate, and probably hoping for some 30 days postponement or alike, but you have seen China, South Korea and Japan meeting to discuss trade between them. EU delegation is in Asia discussing the same, including with Thailand. I'm sure within days and weeks you'll see new connections between Latin America, Asia and Europe. Last time Trump tried trade war with China, he has destroyed soybean farmers in US. And even though China even promised (I remember that news) that they would buy umpteen thousand tons of soybeans from US... that never happened. In fact, before that US was the single biggest soybean supplier to China, where nearly everything produced in US went to China. Now? US exports of soy to China are 0, and the entire market is supplied by Brazil. And that's exactly how it'll end for US companies the World over. New suppliers will be found. US will drift into the shadows. Ordinary Americans will suffer the most. Recession is probably only weeks, at most a few months away. And that's my concern as I have many friends in US, and they did not deserve to get their lives turned upside down because of one illiterate fool in the White House hell bent on making everything he does a televised spectacle.
