  1. Some years ago the BMA placed garbage bins in several busy locations. They were all stolen within 24 hours.
  2. Living and working in several Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, I became very much aware of the contempt they have for other religions. A reward in heaven for the killing of an infidel is a tenet deeply embedded in their faith. Very worrying that so many liberal western democracies appear to have no conception of, or deny, the danger that is gradually encircling them.
  3. Much more to come on this. The fact remains, cannabis is far less harmful than cigarettes, alcohol and crystal meth, and has beneficial medical use.
  4. Not a bad idea for any country to maximise the use of it's natural resources. Biden doing a good job in this context re oil, gas and shale. I doubt Trump could do any better.
  5. Much higher ? Nonsense. You have yet to learn about who is truly powerful in Thailand.
  6. You mis-report what Anutin actually said. Anyway, if I was a Thai, I would support him to be PM.
  7. It's both transitive, and passive..
  8. You appear not to have noticed that the standard of service has declined all over the world. Thailand is no better or worse than anywhere else. The difference is servers in Thailand are generally friendly and polite, unlike their western counterparts.
  9. Utterly pathetic.Thaksin now running the show. This will hand the cannabis trade back to gangsters. Remember Thaksin's previous war on drugs ? Over two thousand people shot dead, most of them entirely innocent.
  10. Gosh. Clever boy. You appear to know what myriad means. Well done.
  11. Flabbergasted ? How long have you been in Thailand ?
  12. Be clear on one thing above all others in Thailand, while Thai lives are cheap, farang lives are cheaper. Very few locals will be interested in how or why you died. If you cannot accept this, better to stay away. Very sorry to read about Zoe's death. RIP.
  13. Given the problems that occur with online reporting, often due to the poor quality/continuous changing of government websites, I go in person to CW to do the 90 day reporting. It only takes an hour or two every 3 months.
  14. Daniels' lawyer says her accusations have been known for years. That doesn't make them honest. Personally, while not a fan of Trump, I believe very little of what Daniels is saying.
  15. Pathetic article, completely missing the point that elephants, and other wild life, are having their natural habitat taken over by humans. This is not only occurring in Thailand. Most humans consider their needs far more important than an animal's needs, sad to say.
  16. Allow more time. For myself, I have always preferred to go in person to CW. Simple, quick, and job done in under an hour.
  17. That's a bit strong. In my own case I was married to a Brit for 23 years, divorced in 1986, and married a Thai woman iin 1990 with whom I am still happily living. She is 68 and I am 83. Does that make me a loser and a pervert ?
  18. The protests against the invasion of Iraq were entirely justified, those against the war in Vietnam were partially justified, those against Israel are unjustified. Israel was cruelly attacked by Hamas and has every right to respond.
