  1. I once counted 30 plus Burmese getting out of/off a pickup in Sattaheep.
  2. Possibly loose, more likely lose.
  3. Some people are more sensitive than others to a change in energy/atmosphere. They are generally brighter than the rest of us.
  4. He was allowed back into Thailand on the condition that he stayed out of politics and led a quiet life. He failed on both counts, and could be in real trouble come the review this month of the case against him. It appears that running away to Dubai, again, is no longer an option.
  5. Way too much sensitivity everywhere, not only in Thailand.
  6. He has job security, with promotion potential, and a guaranteed pension. Stick with it.
  7. Some have fleed to escape injustice.
  8. Dual pricing has never bothered me. Happens world-wide. In my own country, for example, foreign students at universities are charged up to 4 times more than locals.
  9. Correct. He won the party leadership in 1922 and finished second in the 1932 national presidential election, to be subsequently appointed chancellor by Hindenburg.
  10. Thailand is a monarchy. I agree it is, therefore, quite surprising that so many foreigners who have chosen to live here are democrats.
  11. Fact, he was elected as a national socialist.
  12. I gather he wants to run away to Dubai, again, having upset those who allowed him to return to Thailand on the condition he stayed out of politics. He has found out his departure will be blocked at any airport and is raising medical issues as a last resort. it won't work, and he is stuck. Entirely his own fault. Should have kept his mouth shut and led a quiet life.
  13. Before spending money on professional advice, or worrying over much, wait until the situation clarifies.
  14. Seen from this distance, and not being an American, I think she can win if she holds her own under close questioning, and makes a good choice for her VP.
  15. Britain will need oil and oil-based products for many years ahead, until and unless fast progress is made in increasing atomic energy capacity. For now it is cheaper and more environmentally friendly to produce oil from domestic sources than to import. What on earth are the stop oil people trying to achieve ? It seems to me they have no idea about the realities of the current situation.
