How do you know he has a credit card, phone, or even a bank account? How do you know the wife didn't keep the aforementioned or drain his account before kicking him out? Common sense suggests that if he had them he would have used them. Duh. Instructions: Make sure you have your facts straight before making judgmental comments.

It's not the same literal reverse thrust as in a jet engine's thrust reversers, the thrust itself of the turboprop isn't reversed, only the prop pitch.

Sounds like someone who may be missing four out of their five senses. Not much point in even being in thailand if you can't see what's right in front of you

Already done 100 times. Next there will be someone trying to have sex with it.

Taxi mafia again. Sounds lovely.

I don’t think anyone cares

More press

I'm speaking as someone who admittedly has never been to the UK, and am not thoroughly familiar with life there. However, this has worked in the US: someone should organize pickets, protests, press coverage, and anything you can do to shame your prime minister and parliament not acting on this. I feel terribly bad for all of you guys, the financial stress robs you of your enjoyment of this otherwise wonderful place.

My favorite dramatic embellishments from the story: Slick, bold, unfolded, faced-off, keen, pinpointed, notch-in-their-belts, quietly-whisked (egg whites?), cuffed, swift

Are you serious? What do you expect that to do? Perhaps you'd like to educate yourself whether you're joking or just stυpid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leishmaniasis

Well now, we can't deport Thais, can we? Nor do we want to. Misbehaving foreigners, however, should be shown the door.

Nonetheless, legal casinos will be like money trees. Historically they became major tourist attractions. My opinion? It will attract a significant number of the total gambling population INCLUDING tourists, who might prefer not to get arrested, and will likely bring in a lot of newbies, many of whom will then proceed to gambling addiction and become lifetime customers who squander every cent they have. This is what happened on the American Indian reservations. On top of that, it's likely that organized crime will try to latch on in one way or another, such as loan sharking to the gambling addicts. It's all the same playbook, but, just my opinion again, the pros usually out weigh the cons. I heard they were going to bring in Bobby Deniro and Joe Pesce as consultants

"to sort the snafu swiftly." WWII era military slang. Who knows what snafu actually means? Hands? (no fair looking it up) Bzzzzzt time's up. Situation normal, all f________d up

nature abhors a vacuum, something will fill in the gaps. I do my own cooking except when I travel, and get food delivered from Tops. They're pretty good but they don't keep a very big inventory in their online location, many items are out of stock and still listed. For 99 baht/month you get free express delivery within an hour. I'm also fortunate in that there is a cheap Thail/Burmese restaurant on the 1st floor of my building along with a mini mart

I have a good "recipe for intestinal issues" passed down from my great grandma. Oh, wait, that was chitlins.

Based on my 68 years on this planet such statistics are of little real use. Except to start arguments between mόrόns (in the case of this forum)

And that means what exactly? Do you actually know the difference between a sitting president literally anyone else? "far behind every other 21st-century president at a similar point. Trump’s approval rating is 44% at almost 100 days in office, compared with 54% for Joe Biden, 62% for Barack Obama and 63% for George W. Bush at the same point." Maybe you should go back to reading the funny papers until you can get into your big boy pants and grasp adult topics.

My scout troop wasn't NAZI, the scoutmaster was a racist redneck ɑsshole, used to talk about n****r camps, which in fact were the temporary housing for the migrant workers who came up from the south to work in the tobacco fields.

Thanks for mentioning it

jeez, get an education

I'm sure that if an American is in Thailand the last thing he'd be thinking about would be the US. That's why I came here 12 years ago, amongst many reasons, and as far as I'm concerned the US doesn't exist. And if he's a stupid drunk American he's likely not aware of much outside of the drink in his hand.

Nice topic to read about over my morning (Thai) coffee

In the case of 7-11, the parent company is, I believe in Japan, the Thai business is a subsidiary owned and run independently. I imagine this is a common model.
