Pita vows to reform Thailand’s broken political system
Thingamabob replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
After many years of living and working in Thailand my impression of the way in which the Thai elites regard poor Thais has never changed. They couldn't care less. -
The numbers don't look good, if they are correct.

Not so sure about that. It could all end in tears. -
Oh Beloved Bangkok, How So You Have Changed...
Thingamabob replied to HugoFastor's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
First arrived in Bangkok in 1962. So many changes. Mostly good, but nightlife atmosphere nothing like as much fun as it once was. -
Thai Government Steps Up Efforts to Curb Chinese Business Dominance
Thingamabob replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The Thai govt say they are stepping up efforts to curb Chinese business dominance ? Stunning hypocrisy. It's the Thai govt which has opened the door for the Chinese already. Too late now. -
I've lived in retirement in Thailand since 1993, having previously lived and worked here during the 1980s. I apply for an annual retirement extension at CW, previously at Soi Suan Phlu, Sathorn. Never once used an agent. 3/4 hours of minor inconvenience once a year is a small price to pay compared to the cost funding someone else to do it for me.

Majority of Americans Advocate for Military Involvement at Border
Thingamabob replied to Social Media's topic in World News
If the article us true, and the majority of Americans advocate for military involvement at the borde, does this work better for Harris or Trump come the election ? -
A misleading headline. Very unlikely he was attacked by the dogs who knew him , and for whom he was caring. He probably died of a heart attack, leaving the dogs with no food for several days before he was found. The dogs will now likely be killed, to the delight of all dog and animal haters on AN and elsewhere.

Bodily we start to die from around our mid-twenties, if not sooner. Personally I started to be grateful for another day of life aged around sixty, after forty years of both hard work and hard partying. Now eighty- three, and my gratitude for another day of life is stronger still. No idea how long I will last, but so far so good. Leading a quieter life these days...

I Hate Donald J. Trump And Here Is Why In Two Minutes
Thingamabob replied to connda's topic in Political Soapbox
Most of the people who profess to hate Donald Trump don't know him and have never met him. It was the same in my own country with Margaret Thatcher. I can fully understand someone profoundly disliking the policies of prominent people, but I find loathing them rather odd. -
Kamala Harris: A Defining Moment on the Path to the Presidency
Thingamabob replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Speaking as a foreigner, with no dog in this race, I feel Harris' supporters would be wise to shield her, as much as possible, from pointed questions. She has likeable qualities but, up to now, she appears to have difficulties when closely examined on policy issues. This is going to get tougher as the election nears. BTW my UK bookmaker now has her odds on to win, albeit by a small margin. He's seldom wrong, which is why he's a very rich man...
