Biden for King? Serves the Yanks right for getting rid of the Brits. Only the Sovereign is above the law in the UK, we can (and do) prosecute any other Royal or politician for any provable crime. But a country considering re electing a madman and only opposing him with a geriatric probably deserves all they get.

It’s an odd part of the Thai justice system that so much seems to be sorted out by the exchange of money between the parties (and the police) without the involvement of the courts or any open fixed penalty system. it just invites corruption and dissatisfaction for victims. Apart from charging/summonsing people to court or officially ticketing them, the police should have no part of financial negotiations, although it does make up for the pitiful official salaries they receive.

Have a proper eye test at a good optician and buy varifocal lenses without visible steps between the zones. I got some for 5000 baht with an ordinary frame from Seven Day Optics. They will deal with both near and far vision. Why bother with surgery?

Can you quote any sources for the trends in the UK you quote?

Another case of Hu done it.

This is simply a protection for hiso hospital owners from their cronies in government who will use the people’s taxes to pay tourists hospital bills when they default. Nothing to do with reassuring tourists.

Most advanced in altering taxi meters but cannot even construct bus stops for baht buses and tourist coaches to pick up and drop off passengers!

Has anyone checked if he was in possession of a valid Rabbit card? Do they do a Monkey card?

Whilst the armed forces, education, health care, police, land offices etc are all run as profit generating businesses, with low basic salaries expected to be topped up with corruption, nothing will change here. They even have an Anti Corruption bureau where staff have been arrested for corruption!

Can’t they get rid of the the afternoon period without the country descending into anarchy? It’s worked everywhere else.

As long as they display relevant quotations alongside from all other major religions such as Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism etc, this can reinforce the teaching of comparative religion that all children should receive before making their own choice of which, if any, they choose to follow.

I understand that he is aggrieved, but in most countries, unless she was coerced into the relationship by the power imbalance, this would be regarded as a private matter. Here I think it is more a loss of face for the husband that is the real grievance.

Marketing technique by Lazada? No such thing as bad publicity.

Not usually a recommended HR technique for staff management.

The alternative adopted in Western countries that banned burning is to plough the stalks into the ground. This does not kill all the bugs so some measures may be required to assist. There are also stubble digesters that can process the stubble into compost. The Government could assist with this but do not seem inclined to spend any junket money on it.

They should consider tourist safety with more enforcement of unlicensed motorbike rental, drunk driving, illegal parking/taxi mafia, ladyboy jewellery snatches, and training/regulation of nightclub doormen. This is all from posts here, I never visit, put off years ago.

At least the UK police are trying to reduce the guns in circulation and the victims harmed as a result. When are Thai police going to take similar measures? Incidents are reported daily of firearms being used in quite ordinary domestic disputes as well as in crimes like robberies and by gangs.

Possible that he means he has third party only, but no cover for fire and theft, or damage to his own vehicle. Many companies refuse to provide comprehensive cover once your vehicle is six years old, especially if you change provider.

Why are three consulting companies involved? Usually one for the client, one for the contractor.

Maybe he will spend some of his last days recording what else he knows about public figures in Thailand.

I use Sirinthorn Hospital for my GERD/Type 2 Diabetes etc treatment and find the doctors and nurses excellent. Doctors have better English of course than nursing staff but I can get by without much Thai. i would give them a chance first, but of course you have to write off most of a day for treatment/waiting.

Esso used to be advertised as putting a tiger in your tank, waiting to see what slogan this petrol company will come up with.

One strategically placed CCTV camera could monitor the sauna for both illness and people giving others unwanted attention. Most gyms already do this in other areas. Have to wait for someone to care for their customers in Thailand.

When the police stand by and let the mob throw statues in the Docks, it’s open season for all protestors to do whatever they want to advance their cause. Disgusting to see how those sworn to prevent and detect crime and disorder are abrogating their responsibilities.

There is a range of behaviour and preferences in sexual activity. Gay, straight, bi, sadist, masochist, dressing up as babies, even cannibals etc etc. There are always other people who feel the same or are willing to provide services to those prepared to pay or with shared interest. As long as no one is harmed, especially children, let people do whatever they want with other consenting adults.
