Bangkok's Free Transport Initiative Sparks Criticism Amidst Haze Crisis
LatPhrao replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
No mention in the headlines of the all ready crushing crisis of overpacked and slow running BTS and MRT trains (well before the free travel announcement). At Bangkok nothing is done to relieve the all ready overcrowded and crushed passenger loads. Did they add more trains to the BTS and MRT lines? Did they increase the frequency of BTS or MRT trains running? No, nothing, and with more travelers is just making public transportation worse than before. -
I'm confused - Using a Visa Agent
LatPhrao replied to Ken Kenobi's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Staggered reading this detailed thread on a subject that in the very recent past was absolutely verboten. Bravo!! Thai Visa agents and their customers living in the clear, clean light of day. In my humble opinion the visa agents provide a terrific, much needed service at, all things considering alternatives, comes at a reasonable cost. To say nothing of the end of and frustrations, time wasting dealing with Immigration. -
What low/medium price wine do you recommend.
LatPhrao replied to YorkshireTyke's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
ROFL yes exactly. It's a ruse recognized on both sides. Welcome to Thailand, if you hadn't noticed. And just to be clear my comments are exclusively about pure French wine channeled in bulk into an Asian country (Vietnam), bottled and labelled there without any manipulation of the wine and then sold into Thailand under lowered taxation/duty schemes available to co-operating Asia countries. Landing on the Thai retail shelf at the bargain price of 399 thb or there abouts. Enjoy a glass of Belleville's pure French wines! -

LatPhrao replied to YorkshireTyke's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
To the OP point about 'fruit wine' on label and yours. This label is part of the Lie required to get around Thailands ridiculous and unfortunate 'law' which suggests the wine is blended down with a fruit juice other than grape.. If so labelled there is a lower tax/duty on the wine. Helping get it into 399 thb pricing. The only 'fruit' in these wines is from the wine grape, which is a fruit. -

LatPhrao replied to YorkshireTyke's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I took great pleasure in discovering the Belleville red and white wines when tasting through what was available at 399 thb. Very pleasant wines, good color, interesting blends, structure, and flavors. Not so called fruit wines Quality wines that come from France - the Cotes du Rhone region. Their price comes about through a cunning system - where the wines are shipped from France in bulk to Vietnam, where they are bottled and then sold into the market under a low tax and duty agreement between Asian nations. The result very good French wine at a bargain (in Thailand) price. They were my house wines for a long time. Recommend -
Veteran Journalist Criticizes Media Blindness to Trump’s Popularity
LatPhrao replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Halperin for Hitler and Trump and Mussolini. You do not have to respect the fact that tens of millions of people are going to vote for them. Fascists and their followers are criminals. -
Asian Now change News format - Love it or Hate it
LatPhrao replied to LatPhrao's topic in Forum Support Desk
It starts in the Asean Now Newsletter (e-mail) . Ironically I cannot find an example just now. Back with a screen shot asap. -
Suddenly the Asean Now news format has gone from a simple call it elegant collection of news / forum titles to pages packed with pictures and a topsy turvy, overstuffed appearance. The currency quotes have disappeared. Please restore the former news / topic formats!

What Americans Want and why Democrats Failed
LatPhrao replied to NickyLouie's topic in Political Soapbox
Correct Trump stands alone, is a fascist, congenital liar, a disgraceful human being and criminal - convicted and not yet convicted. Harris is brilliant and in no need of comparison.. -

What Americans Want and why Democrats Failed
LatPhrao replied to NickyLouie's topic in Political Soapbox
Over 73 million voting Americans are GARBAGE, as President Joe Biden pointed out accurately fingering the MSGarden crowd. This American garbage population voted for one of histories most flawed and horrible humans to breathe air. Belonging in the realm of the world's worst fascist dictators. Tragically not stopped in two attempts. This convicted criminal, aided and abetted in the US Supreme Court and Senators and House of Representative cowards failed to protect democracy in America. The good and the true defenders of democracy and justice have not prevailed. They understood that the pandemic crisis and damage was not the fault of the Biden administration or the Vice President running for the office of President. The worst day election of Donald Trump was akin to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the Twin Towers on 9/11. The difference being attacks from without the country versus an attack from within the country (the 73 million plus garbage Americans). -
They aren't decent. Heads up their asses and wanna aging, mentally unstable, convict as dictator who lies with every breathe.

LatPhrao replied to NickyLouie's topic in Political Soapbox
Keep Right said: Kamala is a born loser and only obtained her position in life because of diversity hire. Anyone listening to her word salad speeches knows "the lights are on but no one is home." Old Biden picked her as his VP because he thought she would be an asset to him. Little did old Biden know that she would kick him down the road and try to take his place. Cackling Kamala will join Hillary as another loser to Trump. DUMB AND DUMBEST -
