  1. Johnson said that what would worry Putin most would be Trump's unpredictability. Not sure if that amounts to praise.
  2. Guaranteeing loans on behalf of most Thais, and lending directly to Thais, should be entirely avoided.
  3. As one famous Thai/American journalist wrote in the Bangkok Post many years ago, money is the only religion in Thailand.
  4. I repeat, one more time, I am referencing Lister's article dated 19th. May 2024 as headlined above. Have a nice day.
  5. This piece is 6 months old. Fact is it is still uncertain whether or not this is going to happen.
  6. I suspect that the opinions of showbiz luvvies have little influence with those old enough to vote.
  7. A classic example of the way things work in Thailand.
  8. This has been promised by various governors over the last 50 years plus. All that ever happens is a few metres of pavement in the Sukhumvit area are renovated in front of media reporters/cameras. After that, nothing.
  9. Motor racing is popular in Thailand and a GP here would attract great support. The problem, though, is both the cost of setting up such an event. and the tough rules and regulations which have to be applied. A street circuit would help to reduce the cost issue, but it would mean chaos for at least a month in the pre and post work, and F1 really doesn't need another street circuit. Buri Ram is a conventional circuit, and just about works for Moto GP, but it would need a huge amount of upgrading to qualify for F1. All in all a nice idea but not practical in my opinion.
  10. I'm also British, and I agree with you when you write that you probably should keep out of this discussion.
  11. Whatever it's problems the fact is that Russia is armed with a huge arsenal of nuclear weaponry. The western alliance will have to come to an agreement with Russia regarding Ukraine. Control of the areas of eastern Ukraine populated by the Russian speaking people of Russian origin will have to be ceded to Russia. There is no way to avoid this inevitable outcome to current hostilities.
  12. Journalists are paid to fill news space with this kind of article. In fact it is far from clear which of Harris or Trump is the favourite to win on November 5.
  13. Laws on this issue can be made stricter but, as with all laws in Thailand, and many other countries, will not be enforced.
  14. Better to have this debate after November 5. No clear favourite at present. Could go either way.
  15. In Haiti as in, inter-alia, Korea, China and Vietnam, cats and dogs are regularly eaten. I doubt the majority of Americans would go along with that.
  16. The Thai government refers to me as a non-immigrant and requires me to apply to extend my non- immigrant visa on an annual basis. In my opinion the UK should have applied a similar system many years ago.
