  1. One less big bike on the road, great! One less whiner, great! Oops, not one less whiner. Left and still feels the need to get on a Thailand forum and whine some more.
  2. Well, the Wall St. execs. are not stupid. They know Trump is a two-time loser with the American voters in presidential elections. Could only garner 46.1% of the vote to weak candidate Clinton in 2016. Lost the popular vote badly but was saved by the cursed Electoral College, America's version of the Thai Senate. Did slightly better in 2020, 46.8%, but that's dismal for a sitting president with all the powers of the presidency, and against another weak candidate. He lost the popular vote once again, and even more badly than 2016, by over 7 million votes. So, two elections and he could not come anywhere near to 50% of the vote. Although he, and his supporters, make a lot of noise on social media, the majority of American voters don't like him, don't want him, and have said so twice at the ballot box. With all his legal troubles--and more to come--he's arguably a more damaged candidate, if that's possible, than 2020's version. Wall Street is, smartly, looking for a better candidate--which would probably be about any breathing American 35 years or older-- but I'm hoping he'll come up a three-time loser.
  3. Maybe someone can explain to me exactly what 'soft power' is and how it can be exported as an 'export product', according to the article. I hope it comes in a large economy size as I like to buy my soft power in bulk. Perhaps it's all a big misunderstanding and there was a typo--they really meant 'soft powder', a wonderful new laundry detergent that 'powers' through stains. As per a previous poster, total BS, and I don't mean booster shot.
  4. Seems like a prime candidate for the EC to deeply probe. Just reading the article, it's my 'belief' that he's not suitable for public office. "Belief', apparently, goes a long way with the EC.
  5. What a total crock! Never read anything so lame. They should be utterly ashamed of their actions.
  6. Mine was around 3-4 weeks in January of this year.
  7. The actual truth is Chinese tourists spent over 500 billion baht in Thailand in 2019, the most of any country, by far. The actual truth is the majority of them were independent travelers, not in tour groups. Sorry, but it's the truth.
  8. Finally. Far more were burned out than still functioning. Apparently following The Moving Walkway Book of Maintenance.
  9. I, for one, hope they never get out of jail.
  10. I would also recommend giving Pattaya a look. It checks all the boxes for me.
  11. Good for you! I love to read--mostly fiction. Here are some of my favorite authors, who can be counted on to deliver great escape fiction, book after book. Have fun escaping into a book. Jonathan Kellerman Michael Connelly Jo Nesbo Daniel Silva John Grisham Ken Follett Lee Child Elizabeth George Jeffrey Deaver John Sandford Martin Cruz Smith
  12. Utterly shameless. Utterly brazen. Utterly despicable. Utterly sad for Thailand.
  13. Just do the right thing, Senators, and feel good about yourself.
  14. Buh bye bye. About 9 years too late.
  15. Hope they finally get rid of those red mid-20th centuryish horrors. That's all I ever see on the road in my part of Bangkok. Where are all these new buses, I wonder.
  16. My favorite? The one Diana drove, gift from her cheap husband.
  17. I used the domestic terminal about a month ago and it was quite busy. I think it's good that they are planning ahead to be able to handle increases in domestic travelers a number of years down the road. You don't snap your fingers and instantly get a third terminal and all that's involved with an airport expansion of that sort. It's a long process.
  18. I just love the guy. Such a breath of fresh air compared to most politicians, here or anywhere.
  19. I agree with a previous poster and I hope his remarks are broadcast so all of Thailand has the opportunity to hear his actual proposals, and not the lies and half-truths bandied about by the dinosaurs.
