I'd like to see the follow-up on this story. What happened to them? 1000 baht fine and let go? Just a verbal warning? Nothing at all?

Easy to fix. Deport his family as well.

Why bother? Total waste of energy. Airlift him to Kursk and give him a water gun.

So I guess Trump's invasion of Greenland will be called "Special military operation" and Danish the "Nazis"? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/greenland-donald-trump-jr-visit-denmark/

Sure about that?

ICE - Internal Combustion Engine

More or less all ICE taxis are converted to gas yet I rarely see them going up in smoke. Seems not all Somchais are the same.

Wohoo, rubber pledging scheme! I bet that was never tried before

Blindly supporting Trump no matter what he does, how many times he flip flops, forgiving all his criminal acts is also a sort of a mental illness. So I don't think there's much, if any difference between your side, and those you're debating with. But that's the World we live in now. In the past we were laughing at "Thai models" of air conditioners or amplifiers, having only OFF and MAX setting in cartoons, but this is what mentality of many people is now. There's no more grayscales, only black or white. One side or opposing side, with nothing in between. And those are getting more and more distanced and radicalized.

Not at all. Terminator might have made a great president. Too bad he wasn't born in US and is as such not eligible to run.

Who cares. Musk is the one calling the shots anyway. So we could now say that the United States of America will be ran by a South African and an Indian, with Vice President highly influenced by Indian wife. Oh the irony... how did Columbus call the Native Americans again?

That's what the whole World turned to after pandemic. Totally polarized. Seems that lock downs have brought out the worst in people.

I think there are hospitals in Thailand that can fix that, too!

A proper MAGA supporter, this Spafford bloke...

Best part...

The man at about 5 minutes mark is a counterweight to that woman at the beginning, and the most concerning part are the last 15 seconds - Many Russians are willing to let the man at the top to decide their future.

At former PM's condo brand... not illegal per se, but smoking is illegal throughout the building and there's a designated smoking area near the security office only. While anyone could smoke inside their room, but not balcony, if smell comes out of the room to common areas (corridors) or is smelled by others, including on their balconies, there's 5000 baht penalty to the room owner. Even if smoking inside the room, I don't think it would be possible for smell not to get out of the room. They enforce penalty by adding that to maintenance fees outstanding, and if not paid, water is cut to the room. We have Urbanice app where people are thrashing each other in Social feed, and there's [condo brand] Home app, where complaints and reports can be made to juristic office. There were a couple of days on my floor when strong weed smell was present. Don't know who reported it but saw discussion in Urbanice... haven't noticed any smell on this floor since. Though when I was away for a few days, I got a warning from juristic that someone complained of cigarette smoke on balcony - they sent warnings to all adjacent rooms to the one that complained. Don't smoke and wasn't home so I can easily refute that, but I understand the complaints as well - the smoke gets to clothes people dry outside, some showed cigarette butts thrown off balconies, landing on their balconies and burning holes into their clothes drying outside... But, this is mostly problem with tenants, not with room owners living in condo. We did get rules and regulations to read and agree to when buying condo, and it's hanging in the lifts all the time, where it clearly states that any kind of smoking is prohibited in entire project except designated area, along with fines for it and a QR code to download the app to file a complaint to juristic.

To a Thai this could be a problem... Now how could that be fixed?

How's adding to the above additional detail, that throughout the flight over the Caspian sea, the plane's GPS was jammed? Nearly looks like the plane was accidentally shot at, after realising the error, to hide evidence, every effort was put into having plane crash into the sea. That's vile.

There are quite a few countries now that should be reminded of the same. Unfortunate where the World is heading...

It actually can, for 2 reason - had engine disintegrated and broke off the engine covers, damage would have been through the wings and into the fuselage right next to the wings. Pieces would also be larger and probably killed someone sitting next to the front of the engine. But... the damage is far the the back, at close to 90 degrees puncturing the skin, and in the video taken during the final moments, the engine on the damaged side looks intact, and there does not seem to be any injuries inside the plane nor punctured skin anywhere around the wings area. Damage to fuselage is in the back of the plane, a bit at the back of the wing, but main damage is just before vertical stabilizers and tail. For the damage to be done by engine, it would need to detach, and spray shrapnel into the tail while parallel to the aircraft. That didn't happen and videos show engine firmly attached and undamaged moments before plane hit the ground. Good theory, though, and probably one of the first ones considered in investigation.

Of course you would, else you'll get a bullet in your brain by your own government.

3:1 now, and to add details: Russian score: Korean Air KE 007 - Boeing 747 (perished: 269), Malaysia Airlines MH 017 - Boeing 777 (perished: 298), Azerbaijan Airlines J2 8432 - Embraer E190 (perished: 38+) US score: Iran Air IR 655 - Airbus A300 (perished: 290) Yes, comrade Frank, you really need to try harder with your disinformation campaign.
