Two 'Women' Stab Each Other on Sukhumvit Soi 11
In the early 1980s I rented the last house before the klong on Soi 11. The soi was a delight in those days.

Picture of Israeli soldier holding Thai flag causes a stir
As I understand it the Israelis object to a cease-fire because it would allow Hamas to re-gather and re-arm.

Disgusted
Very sorry to hear about this. Sadly this is happening all over Thailand. They appear to be addicted to cutting down trees and destroying wildlife habitat. Deeply depressing.

Police reform may be easier than everyone thinks
The ruling elite, top police, top politicians and top busines people have no intention to tackle police corruption so it will not happen.

Are we in the middle of a hoeflation ?
It's called the profit motive. People will always try to make the most they can. Entirely up to the customer to accept, or walk away.

FFS, not that difficult to avoid this problem.

PM Srettha: Legalise casinos to save Thailand’s economy
You have rather missed the point. Many Thais gamble underground all the time. Worth giving regulation a shot in my opinion.

NY judge issues gag order on Trump in hush money trial
Calm down old chap, you appear over-excited by this topic. I would only add, as a Brit, that I would try to avoid the US justice system like I would try to avoid the plague. Coincidentally I would also add that, in spite of all the efforts to gag Trump, my bookmaker is offering odds on for a Trump win on November 5. Cheerio.

I have enjoyed my time in Thailand, but...
First came to Thailand in the early 1960s. Visited many times, lived and worked here 1983 -1987, married my Thai wife in 1990, retired to Thailand in 1993. Now in old age I still enjoy living here. Things have changed, of course, but the climate is still warm, the food is still good, and Thai people are still friendlier than most others..and I still have my lovely Thai wife. I will never leave.

If there is a God – Why ?
Think about the Universe, the Multiverse, and beyond. How, why and where were these entities created ? Is some form of God involved ? We will never know. What we do know is that life on our little planet is complex and cruel for many species, and does not offer much to be thankful for.

So that's were all the Hot women hang out!
Very few, if any, upper class Thai women will associate with farang in Thailand. Outside Thailand, however, they are much more friendly.
