The Thais call themselves a "neutral" nation when appeasing war criminals. So how about a photo of Khun Somboon shaking hands with the head of Kyiv City to prove it?

These workers are not doing themselves any favours by stopping rescue/recovery from Thai rescue teams. Beating up a rescue vehicle? 

There must obviously be more to the story that the workers are concerned about that is of such unimaginable consequences to behave like this.

a revised train frequency to enable technicians to replace the damaged rail and equipment. While this work is ongoing, passengers will benefit from a 20% fare discount.

Just replacing the bit that fell off with a price reduction to entice won't fix it. How about installing safety barriers or netting along the whole length of the line so that the public won't be in direct line of fire of things that will inevitably fall off again in future?

It take some time to wrap your head around the concept that if you have charging at your house, you don’t need any charging stations within 150 km of your home and if you’re going on a long distance journey, maybe not even within 500 km.

 

When everyone is driving an electric car, we will need less than 1 in 20 of the existing petrol stations to have charging facilities, most of them will just close or be repurposed into something else.

There are still some practical considerations that need to be taken into account. Not everyone has access to charging at home, which can make relying solely on home charging a challenge. While it's possible to plan long-distance trips with an electric vehicle, relying solely on public charging stations can add extra time and stress to the journey, especially if charging stations are not readily available. In countries with limited charging infrastructure, like Thailand, it can be difficult to rely solely on public charging stations.

In his latest vlog love guru Dan

There were a lot of descriptions I could think of for Dan but love guru wasn't one of them.

3850THB is a bit more than I paid (20THB) at a government medical center. I think its about 50THB these days.

The stock price says its worth $1.9bn today, so $10bn sounds like hot air, ironic comes to mind.

"Moscow attack: Russia blames West and Kyiv for jihadist massacre"

They are the masters of hideous narrative control, as if instilled in them from kindergarten.

Greenwashing.

could not be more convenient

Well it could as the poster you were replying to says the app already knows your bill so there's no need to QR code anything.

I am not succeeding to make Bitkub happy. Contrary to last year, now we can only contact them via the mobile phone app.

When Bitkub switched my trading off last year as a foreigner I moved my funds out. This month they offered via mobile app to accept new KYC docs and this was simply a photo of pp (which they had already) and a selfie in three directions! That was all, then wait for them two weeks to approve which they did - giving me 100THB trading fees credit.

I still only have 2 baht in the account and it will probably stay that way.

Why are we seeing so many foreigners in Thailand with mental illness? 

It's known as "availability bias" that you are allowing yourself to be consumed by.

I've added a US address as the mailing address.

So why were you asking about an international account to start with? If you have a US address?

Odd that it needed a "rescue team" to lift the gate off him, parents just stood by watching?

Makes you wonder why the news reporter never thought about this either.

So the wheels pointing skyward left no doubt.

It might be better to propose a number of numbered, paid, parking spots that would be defined for a specific vehicle which wouldn't be affected by the rule.

 

The remaining (unpaid) slots would be the standard free-for-all and face the wrath of the day counters. 

That's what they do at our condo in Bangkok. Seems to work OK.
