You misspelt 'correctly'. -
Xi Did Not Shake Hands With Prayut ‘Because Of Covid Measures’
Spock replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Right. Good for you. Except that Xi was fine with shaking everyone else's hand. -

I am sure you give Prayuth far far more credit than he deserves. -

I wouldn't shake hands with someone who had just met Hun Sen. -
That's not fair. an hotel employee has to be a trusted soul, someone to who you can leave your room and its contents without fear of theft. My proviso is that money and valuables should be locked away if possible or otherwise secreted. Temptation is a given - how it's coped with is the measure of the trustworthiness of the employee.

Aussie old age pension eligibilty question
Spock replied to Kenny202's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
But you can no longer receive a new pension overseas? It ties you to Australia? -
All this nonsense you read in here about a flower (@700 baht a gram) being slipped into food that is probably cheaper than the flower placed in it! Just astounds me how dangerous a tiny bit knowledge can be in the hands of the uneducated, including boomers who obviously failed to boom but should still know better. If a leaf or two had been slipped into anything, the imbiber would be none the wiser, but no one is going to waste an expensive bud sticking it in the food of some consumer. Why would they do it? What would they hope to gain?

I am a boomer and know a hell of a lot more than the younger generation about marijuana. Your youth was obviously nowhere near as misspent as it could or should have been. Whether legalising was right or wrong, what is wrong is allowing so many people and businesses to spend a lot of money setting up what they thought was a legal trade then change the regulations and force them out of business. The government should not be making up policies as they go along. This is just another example of the Thai government not thinking through a situation before introducing new regulations to the public.

And risen substantially against the Australian dollar. -

I'd have thought anytime was 'absolutely necessary' when it comes to criticising Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And Russians do appear to be entering in Thailand in droves. This on the day that the Russians exit a key city and the Ukrainians move back in! -

I was laughed out of here when I mentioned that my Thai nomad friends found renting a place in Phuket difficult because of the high Russian demand for rentals. Not so sure looking at the arrivals figures for the island that their assessment of the situation was so wrong. -

I think you missed the 'Thai wife' bit. -
Tourists given suspended jail sentences/fines after Bangkok-Sathorn raid
Spock replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
You are wrong as has been pointed out to you. -
Tourists given suspended jail sentences/fines after Bangkok-Sathorn raid
Spock replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
You are the only one talking about 'one person'. I am well aware how classifiers work. There is no reason for me to be respecting a single individual when the discussion is about whether farang includes Chinese. -

Spock replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Neung khon rather than nung. Kon Jeen is Chinese people and that is how they would be referred to as a group. Anyway I think you missed the point of my post. Over. -

Spock replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
For harder drugs, like ketamine and the cocktail many were apparently carrying, I'd have expected some jail time.
