  1. Depends on your source, I guess. Angkor is a wonderful travel destination, but another source shows that 2 other Asian places rank higher. "The Grand Palace in Bangkok receives over eight million visitors per year, making it the city's most popular tourist attraction and one of the most visited palaces globally. It was ranked as the world's third most visited palace by Travel + Leisure magazine, behind the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Louvre Palace in Paris."
  2. Kushner -- what a lowlife! See below (from Wikipedia): On June 30, 2004, Kushner was fined $508,900 by the Federal Election Commission for contributing to Democratic political campaigns in the names of his partnerships when he lacked authorization to do so. In 2005, following an investigation by United States attorney for the District of New Jersey Chris Christie negotiated a plea agreement with him, under which Kushner pleaded guilty to 18 counts of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering. The witness tampering charge arose from Kushner's retaliation against William Schulder, his sister Esther's husband, who was cooperating with federal investigators against Kushner. Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranging to record a sexual encounter between the two and send the tape to his sister. He was sentenced to two years in prison and served 14 months at Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery, in Alabama before being sent to a halfway house in Newark, New Jersey, to complete his sentence. He was released from prison on August 25, 2006. As a convicted felon, Charles Kushner was also disbarred and prohibited from practicing law in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Republican Chris Christie said Kushner committed "one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes" he prosecuted.
  3. Here is a shocking comparison... I had my appendix removed at a private hospital in the Chonburi area. The cost was 140,000 Baht (6 nights in hospital and a Cat Scan; the latter I deem totally unnecessary) AND THAT WAS 12 YEARS AGO!! When I presented to the doctor with great pain in lower right trunk, she didn't know what my ailment was! I had to suggest appendicitis. Even my insurance agent was shocked at the high price. Happily, however, the insurance company paid the bill up front. I did not have to file a claim later. So, I agree, better to go to a government hospital.
  4. Which Immigration office, please, Andrew?
  5. The above poster has not told you that the share price of Thai Union Group PCL has dropped 32% in the last year. At this exact moment, share price is 10.1 Baht. A year ago exactly, was 15 Baht per share.
  6. I would be very curious to know how many people are killed annually in Thailand while on the sidewalk (or as the British say, "pavement"); for example, either from falling into holes, being struck by motorcycles, being strangled by low-lying wires/cables, or being struck by out-of-control vehicles.
  7. Hi, Sheryl I am looking at Jomtien Hospital's list of "Senior Citizen Vaccination Packages" since I need my annual flu shot. The list shows "Covid-19 vaccine (Comirnaty JN.1)" available at 2,490 Baht.
  8. Maybe take a page out of Tokyo's flood planning book. Huge underground tanks.
  9. I read 5 or 6 books a month. Wonderful having a Kindle. Just received an Amazon.com order of 3 hardcopy books not available on Kindle.
  10. Doubtful if the negative commentators above watched any part of the BBC interview.
  11. You may not be aware that each episode was filmed as a single shot, which makes the series even more amazing. I agree that Steven Graham is amazing in it, but so is young Owen Cooper as Jamie Miller (the latter in his acting debut). It was "carried" by both actors.
  12. Adolescence, the 4-episode TV series (not the 2018 movie) is a huge critical success: An incredibly well-acted, well-written production.
  13. In your last In your last sentence, the perfect word for those gutless ones: lickspittles.
