My wife, a Thai, caught one of our maids pinching the kids and raising bruises. That maid left our house with her own set of bruises that day.

You are right, the vaccine for HPV is not very effective. HPV is not harmless. When I was diagnosed with cancer the pathologists report showed it was chocker block full of HPV. HPV was of course the cause of the cancer.

Oh please. Yes, Thailand has not created the opportunities to lift people out of survival mode. That said, I see young men and women working day in and day out for a pittance doing mind numbing manual labour. Sure the temptation to live a life of crime and reap the easy money must be high. They choose not to and show up every day doing the best they can to get by through “honest work”. I am not bashing those that have chosen a life of prostitution. It’s their life, their choice, and I don’t walk in their shoes. I take issue with the idea that they somehow had no choice. That diminishes those that make the hard choice and show up every day to do “honest work”.

Right now. It’s a slippery slope down as we found out last time.

Sounds delusional. All they ever do is talk. So many good ideas, so much greed, so little will and talent to see these things through. Never going to happen.

Would it be too much to ask exactly who is leading this initiative in Thailand? Who is making the investments to seize this lucrative business opportunity? How about a bit of basic journalism. This comes off as a puff piece for those who are drinking the climate change Kool-Aid

Maybe they can start a Thai jungle foraging website now that they have one confirmed “avoid” delicacy.

With so much interest in revealing and prosecuting Chinese “investors” of late I wonder who in power feels that they have not been getting their share of the action. Lots of Chinese in Bangkok ducking for cover the last two months.

🤣

Exactly how is this making it safer to fly? Has there been a uptick in bombs smuggled in women’s mascara containers?

You are right of course. I looked up the glide angle tables for that specific model and assumed no major weather/wind and the glide angle is approximately 45 degrees almost regardless of altitude.

I am not a pilot so no judgement here. I thought these small propeller driven planes had a large amount of glide factor. Such that they could at least make a horizontal landing. This plane is going down at 90 degrees. Now I will have to find some other myth to console myself when flying in small aircraft.

It’s a step in the right direction. However, as with all things like this in Thailand there will be no follow up or enforcement and it will end up as one more useless set of laws that sit in an ever expanding book of unenforced laws. A pity, some worthwhile ideas here.

I am going to take a wild guess … the people whose emotions are “stirred” are fat people. Is it possible then that being fat encourages healthy eating habits. What nonsense.

Have you considered asking her? Maybe even telling her how this makes you feel?
