    Haha ? What is funny about this ?

    One issue with which I can agree with Trump is his insistence that Nato members should pay their fair share of defence costs. Too many of them fall way below the agreed 2.5% of GDP.

    The centurions were given 5000 baht once a year by the Krabi Educational Council. Such stunning generosity...

    It must be deep in our psyche. Not that long ago we controlled 25% plus of the world's population and land mass so we tend to think we can go anywhere, and behave badly, with impunity. The sad reality is that we are greatly reduced, and struggle just to run our own, relatively small, country. Our politicians are full of s..t, as are our rivers, beaches and reservoirs.

    A load of rubbish, but better than CNN.

    'Some' residents would be a more accurate headline for this social media article.

    I've been mugged twice, once in metro Manila, Philippines, and once in Blackheath, South London, UK.

    Have you ever been inside a working slaughterhouse ?

    Never really bothers me how much I pay for a lady drink, unkess it's totally outrageous. A few hundred baht here or there is hardly worth worrying about unless you are in poor financial circumstances, in which case you shouldn't be in bars anyway.

    What has this got to do with the topuc ?

    Appalling behaviour, but he should know it was unwise to stop, especially with youngsters on board.

    The numbers for east Asia don't make sense. Also, what has projected Ireland into being the third richest country in the world ?
  13. Thingamabob
    Divers or diverse ?

    Calm down.

    Poor guy. I'm hearing he has died. If that is so, RIP.

    The perception in the USA and Europe is that the TAT favours Russians, Indians and Chinese, and that Westerners are no longer welcome in Thailand.
  17. Thingamabob
    I always tip.

    A non-even about which the media has gone berserk. Residency is not citizenship and is no big deal. Harry is a UK citizen and will most likely remain so.
  19. Thingamabob
    Not a huge issue. So much fuss about a difference of 200 baht which likey could have been negotiated down to 100 baht or so. No idea why the Thai woman was so aggressive, and why her foreign boyfriend didn't calm her down.
  20. Thingamabob
    Not just in Thailand.

    Many of us are already involved. Check your facts.

    Thais appear to have become addicted to cutting down trees. Bangkok is an example of this. 40 plus years ago an American consultancy recommended filling in klongs to make way for more road space. This resulted in the trees which lined the klongs being removed. This trend is now repeated all over the country. Concrete rules, sadly.
  23. Thingamabob
    Amazing, given that Thais claim to be Buddhists, that they eat animals, birds and seafood.
  24. Thingamabob
    Any thoughts on who will win come November 5, Biden or Trump ? Bookmakers generally offering odds-on for a Trump win.

    Once they are in the USA many of them will simply disappear.
