An air traffic controller said, “PAT 2-5 do you have the CRJ in sight?” The controller then said, “PAT 2-5 pass behind the CRJ.” The audio then captured audible gasps, including a loud “oooh” in the background apparently from the tower, at the moment of the crash. The tower then alerted another pilot of what has taken place. “I don’t know if you caught earlier what happened, but there was a collision on the approach end of 3-3. We are going to be shutting down operations for the indefinite future if you want to go back to the gate. Highly suggest you guys coordinate with the company. Let me know what you want to do,” the controller says, referencing runway 33.

Because they don't want to have banking licenses revoked?

No, you won't. And not your friend's girlfriend either, not until you have shown significant revenue, and hired at least 4 (or is it 7) Thai employees. Until then you are not going to get a work permit, not for you nor the Laos national. So of all 3 of you, only your girlfriend is allowed to work.

Maybe as first step until you work it out:

Given the flags are still there, I would say human race did land on the moon. Just on the first mission, they have put it too close to the lander, which caused the engine to blow it away - lesson was learned and subsequent missions placed the flags further away. Which are still visible. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-19050795

Google would NEVER do such a thing!

So self-sufficient other countries hold trillions of Dollars of its debt, which is massively increasing every second... US possibly could be self sufficient. But that would mean a massive downgrade in living standards that rely nearly entirely on cheap imported stuff from China and labour from pretty much everywhere. That said - what Trump has done by deporting criminals - that is the absolutely right thing to do which should have been done a long time ago, and should continue happening, not only in US but everywhere.

If this happened to more than one country, the others would simply decide to switch to using another system of trade that excludes US Dollar. If that happens, US economy would collapse in a week.

KN94/N95 do have moderate effect on pollution but only when fitting the face well (which most people don't know how to achieve), then you have apart from the proper respirator like on your photo also electronic respirators - they use fans and HEPA filters. Probably most popular was LG Pure Care. But they are expensive and battery doesn't last very long, so they are OK for someone using it for a couple of hours outside, but not for someone wearing it all day. It is however more comfortable to breathe in due to fans blowing air inside and trying your face if it's hot. Because of the fans blowing in and having higher pressure inside than outside, they also don't have to seal that well, although the silicone mask around your nose and mouth is quite tight. https://www.lg.com/levant_en/air-care/lg-ap300awfa

What cause for concern? That would be green light for Russia to take the other half of Greenland and Eastern Europe, and China to finally take Taiwan, which would mean the only foundry that keeps US technologically ahead of China would become Chinese. And no, with the speed that this is happening, TSMC would not be opening another foundry in US, so you'd be stuck with Intel at 95%+ failure rate. Or Samsung, which begged TSMC to make their advanced stuff, a request that was denied. So basically what Trump is doing would doom US technological companies and hand the dominance to China. Which, btw. has most if not all minerals, deemed "critical raw materials". And they already closed the tap on several of them to US. MAGA Masterplan!

Well the air quality is a lot better today than in the past days. Amazing feat by the government to fix this so quickly. It must be very hard to arrange 50km/h strong wind to blow the dust away. Wonder how they've achieved that! Sarcasm off.

At 10 am, MRT blue line from Hualumpong to Chatuchak park broke down. Unsure if it's fixed by now, but if you are going from south to north, from Hualumpong towards Bang Sue, it might not be running.

Where's misleading part? He called Danish Prime Minister, he was "aggressive and conflicting", threatening with tariffs and military action if Denmark refuses to hand over Greenland. Now Germany and France got involved: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/08/france-warns-trump-against-threatening-eu-sovereign-borders-greenland There's nothing misleading about the headline.

I always stock up during rainy season when air is good. Plenty of stock and much lower prices.

I am sure someone said something similar about their technological advancements 20-30 years back.... And don't ever look at China as a socialist or communist state. They are the worst example of turbo capitalism, hiding behind communist mask.

And despite starting from first position, US is already falling aside... So possibly too little, too late. https://www.ft.com/content/747a7b11-dcba-4aa5-8d25-403f56216d7e DeepSeek, founded by hedge fund manager Liang Wenfeng, released its R1 model on Monday, explaining in a detailed paper how to build a large language model on a bootstrapped budget that can automatically learn and improve itself without human supervision. The challenge of this is that DeepSeek only uses below 5% of resources large AI players in US do, and that it gives it away for free, rather than 200$/month OpenAI charges. This puts expectations of making large returns on investment in US-based AI field on thin ice. One also needs to remember that OpenAI loses amounted to $5 billion in 2024 and are increasing due to "high usage" of their paid plans, which cost them a lot more to run than $200/month customers are paying for it. It is expected OpenAI to suffer losses of over $14 billion by 2026. Hence for users, DeepSeek seems a clear winner, just don't ask it anything about China. For investors, though... now that Wenfeng opened the Pandora box and told everyone how to build a model that beats OpenAI at a fraction of cost... to me this is like a Linux moment. Let's see what comes out of this but I think US is bound to lose supremacy battle, with or without the $500 billion from Japanese, which they don't have anyway.

Went to The Mall yesterday. Traffic was worse than before free public transport, and shopping mall was full of people buying air purifiers... Even most expensive models were going out the door which I honestly haven't seen before... But the cheaper, standard models... all sold out.

Number 4 in the World? Number FOUR?! That's disgusting! Put the efforts of all farmers together and make it Number 1!

Come on... seriously now. This isn't even enforced inside Bangkok, let alone anywhere else. This was taken 2 minutes ago... That's not the only smoke seen around here. Just no intent on staying outside on balcony longer, holding breath...

You need to learn what sarcasm means.

So basically you're completely in love with your president and your country, but not enough to actually live there? Or can't afford to live there?

Maybe they should consider equipping every visitor with a GPS-enabled ankle monitor!

I think with so many Trump's lovers here, will this forum empty out after they move back to the States?

You totally don't get it. Hitler was a painter. This meant - up to here grey, then from here up to ceiling paint it white...
