  1. It would be remiss of me to neglect to mention that Pridi was the driving force behind the establishment of Thammasat University - the conscience of the Thai people
  2. Pridi - all respect to the man. A leader, along with Pribul, of the revolution in 1932 (?) which ended the absolute monarchy but, unfortunately, not the lesse majeste injustice. During WW2 Pribul sided with the Japanese while Pridi led the opposition. Deserving of more recognition of his place in history. His only failure was to be his inability to curb the power of the military and the hi so faction of Thai society which, to this day, has been the millstone around the nation's neck
  3. The French Volkswagen only more betterer
  4. These super cars have an enormous power to weight ratio and throttle control is critical if one is to harness the car's potential. An inexperienced driver can overpower the rear wheels provoking a power slide the correction of which requires skill and adroitness. It seems the driver was found lacking in both, is my assumption.
  5. With respect, my reference primarily was regarding ASEAN, not specifically Thailand
  6. Trade tourism defense education all benefit. Diversity inclusion equity left to socialist countries.
  7. Apologies to everyone for the accusation of Lee Kwan Yew sabotaging the acceptance of Australia into Asean. My grievance should have been directed at Malaysia's Mahathir Mahomad.
  8. According to the "recalcitrant" Singaporean fascist
  9. Recent whisper revealed a potential visa arrangement proposed for Australians who wanted to visit Thailand - a reciprocal arrangement similar to that which exists throughout all Asean nations. Maybe now is the time that Australia should be recognized as another Asean nation as was proposed way back when. Paul Keating was PM at the time. The underwhelming response by Singapore's Lee Kwan Yew put the kybosh on that idea opining that Australia should not be part of Asean because it was a European country not Asian. I think now is the time to be more thoughtfully diplomatic and consider inclusion as a positive and beneficial step in the right direction.
  10. Long way to fall. How many times can you say "so far so good!" before impact?
  11. Add to narcissistic attitude of the telephone zombie cohort the obvious lack of masculinity exemplified by the soy boy brats and their consequential testosterone deprivation and you have a real social problem.
  12. Maybe bees have been wrongly accused. Do they have an alibi? Are there any giant Asian hornets in the area? The latter have an extensive rap sheep and the same modus operandi. I see a movie forthcoming (another one, yawn)
  13. Last seen contemplating his navel - the only way he can see it
  14. "if"- the most conditional qualifier which causes us to concern ourselves with the consequential suffering which is anethema to all Buddhists. The Martini Henry rifles used by the British were not without fault - a breech loading single shot rifle used cardboard wrapped cartridges which were notorious for sweating and expanding in hot environments, causing the weapon to jam. Tactics on defending their position were responsible for the withdrawal of the Zulus. Many brave men "on both sides"
