    Good point. Jumping from a low floor means you hit the ground quickly with not much time to regret what you are doing, but more likely to be badly damaged than dead. Jumping from a high floor insures you will be dead when you hit the ground, but with more time to think about it as you're going down. I would prefer to shoot myself.

    Agreed. More than likely.

    Wrong. He is an independently wealthy straight shooter.

    The Thaksin effect. When the creep was in office he instituted a, so- called, war on drugs. Over two thousand people were shot dead, many of them entirely innocent. He should have faced criminal justice, but finished up running away to exile in Dubai.

    Rubbish.

    The original Queen's Castle on Patpong 1 was, in my opinion, the best bar in Bangkok in the 1970/1980s. It was voted the best bar in Asia, and possibly the world, by Time magazine. Great girls, great service, great fun.

    Rubbish.

    Taiwan is a part of China ? That tells us all we need to know about you and your affiliations. While Taiwan has at different times been occupied by Portugal, China and Japan it is today an independent island with a thriving economy. The Chinese claim that it is Chinese territory is entirely bogus.

    In answering your question it is likely that Thailand will try to stay neutral but will likely be betrayed by its' pro-Chinese politicians. Worth remembering that it was the USA who saved Thailand from world-wide recriminations following Thailand's cooperation with Japan during WW2, and it was the USA who then supported Thailand militarily and financially thereafter.

    Rubbish from start to finish.

    Trump still odds-on at my bookmakers for a win in November.. Any thoughts ?

    This is about how foreigners behave when abroad. In this case it appears to have been a Brit. Hopefully he will be caught and deported.
  13. Thingamabob
    Rude, thuggish behaviour is unacceptable anywhere.
  14. Thingamabob
    Ridiculous comment.

    Depends entirely on how you want to live, as it does in any country. If you want to stay in top hotels/ apartments and eat western food it will not be cheap.

    ...or revert to their prior to WW1 family surname of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

    You don't get to really know anyone on a dating app.

    I am told you can use the yellow book and pink ID card for reporting online, so worth a try. You will find the pink ID card more useful generally than is indicated on this forum. I have used it, inter alia, when entering certain buildings, when identifying myself to the police, and at my local hospital.

    Most children in Thailand are raised in the same way as mushrooms ie kept in the dark, and fed on s..t.

    Ridiculous. GB News is far less biased and more diverse than any other UK news channel.

    These groups are mainly centre right, not far right. They are concerned about the breakdown of law and order in their countries following the relaxation of immigration controls.

    Ignorant rubbish. Weed induces calm, not violence. This case is more likely one involving alcohol and crystal meth.
  23. Thingamabob
    As others have said, in that area at 4.40 in the morning there is a lot of potential for trouble, mainly down to alcoholic excess.
  24. Thingamabob
    Too early to say. Thaksin is behind the proposal to re-criminalize. As he has done in the past he may have over-estimated his importance in the Thai hierarchy. Many top people heve invested in the cannabis business recently.
  25. Thingamabob
    Misleading headline. It's not yet a reversal. I note that the USA is today relaxing reguiatory control of cannabis use, bringing it into line with sevaral orher western countries. Sensible and civilised. Hopefully Thailand will take note.
