Thai cops probe groping incident by foreign men in Bangkok
Let's see the CCTV. Either way, consent is not up to you or any perpetrator of sexual harassment. If you don't understand when you can so something suggestive and playful, then don't do it. Pretty simple. Anyways Bob, you don't sound like you like women and don't sound like you'll understand this anyway, so just stick to the boys.

Time to increase the prices of some daily use consumer goods by 10-20% again! We won't feel it they say, but apparently they do.

Who wears the pants in your family?
We both wear the pants. The family is a business and we're a team running it, no "my role should be this and that" required when you communicate and everyone really wants the same things (in a nutshell: comfort, time for activities/hobbies, companionship, money). Do we get into arguments? Yes. Can we figure it out by together dissecting whatever is the problem? Yes. We also switch who wears the pants in the bedroom, depending on mood. Here too we're open and communicate and essentially want the same thing, so it's pretty simple to have fun.

Angry Russian Tourist Forcefully Shaves Part of Pattaya Barber’s Hair
I guess in light of more spectacular behavior from Russians, the Thai government and TAT will soon give them more visa freedom, maybe land grab rights?

Iron tablets issued by school.
My kids got iron tablets with every vaccination and medical check from like 1yo onwards, every six months or so. No blood test, no explanation, just assumption that everyone's anemic. I understand many rural Thai kids might be, so I reckon that is the reason to just cut corners and give it to everyone. Classic Thailand, binned every single bag.

Is It Really Cheaper In The Sticks?
I'm a sole provider for a family of four, two dogs and a cat. Bills, schools, groceries and shopping, gym memberships, hobbies, other activities.

Is It Really Cheaper In The Sticks?
It is absolutely so much cheaper. Mostly from space and amenities to comfortably cook for yourself, grow your own <deleted>, build your own <deleted>, maintain and repair your own <deleted> (vehicles etc). That being said, if you're not willing to put down for a house and some land and not willing to be proactive with almost everything, then it's not for you. When you're ready for that managing personal finances and cutting costs will be much easier, also less temptations around here. I cook 90% of my own foods, do all my bike repair and maintenance myself, grow a bunch of fruit, herbs, veggies on site. Whatever we don't have at home is extremely cheap in local fresh markets and they are actually fresh. I live around 7k from Udon Thani city, and even in town restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, bars are half price from larger cities. I make roughly 100k a month and living in Bangkok I had 10k to save monthly, in Pattaya maybe 20k and in Udon Thani I don't spend much more than 50k on everything. Some words to end this with, while many basic necessities are somewhat cheaper, moving to "the sticks" makes you change your perspective and lifestyle to be less reliant on outside services = lower cost of living, increased value.

Foreign media report on Pita’s woes
Well, as you see, they didn't really condemn. They reported the truth. It might seem condemning to the reader as the facts uncover blatant tyranny, disgracing the democratic process and disregarding majority will of the people.

Senate clarifies absence of 33 senators during last Thursday’s prime ministerial vote
I'm sure it's a misunderstanding, no one has been intimidating them, families probably just -felt- intimidated because their fathers and husbands are spineless cucks and could not stand up for what's right.
