  1. According to report from the "Times of Israel" and their viewpoint. The two worst "terrorist attacks" in most recent times were committed in both Norway and New Zealand. The resurgence of direct hostilities on 7/10/2023 caught Israel off their guard. A couple of days prior to the attack we had the Al Aqsa incident whereby radicals persons of "Judaism" spat upon both Christians and Muslims, and forced entry to the mosque.
  2. Sentences form certain passages, being portrayed completely out of context, says that you too, are perhaps being ignorant and Islamophobic.
  3. Providing your cherry picked "sentences" from certain passages of the "Quran", yet, ignoring the full text as written at the time, shows you are both Ignorant and Islamophobic. https://medium.com/@StudioArabiya/does-the-quran-really-say-to-kill-the-disbelievers-c8a646774b45
  4. "I haven't been to Thailand for 5 months already". We are now in the twelfth month, where were the other 7 months previously spent. Would suggest the information from the Embassy in Wellington is current policy. Aliens who enter Thailand under the Tourist Visa Exemption scheme and would like to leave and re-enter the Kingdom will be able to stay for a cumulative duration not exceeding 90 days and the duration shall be within a 6 months from the date of first entry.
  5. Dear Xylophone, As always I hope all is well with you. I am not despairing for myself, especially that my "median valuation" rose by $25,000 within the space of of a month. My despair is for destitute families, that had scraped together, a significant amount of money for a deposit on a "HOME" and then found themselves being snookered, thus caught between the fabled rock and a hard place, being both, significant property devaluation and similarly the inflated cost of fiance trough, and huge mortgage rate increases.
  6. Update for the thread, last month we bottomed out at a $585,000 valuation median being early November. There were many reports in the media that many people were experiencing negativity equity, and, with much higher interest rates had forced them to walk away due to affordability of their home ownership.. This month, after a change in Government, we have gone from the estimate of $585,000 valuation median, to $610,000 valuation median, as of today.
  7. I do not believe it is outdated information, although certain parts, do contravene the current Thai Immigration Act, I feel it might be a "warning". All of the "bold font" in my post is "copy and paste", especially, the "Capitlization and Underlining" of TOURISM from the Wellington Embassy as posted. Anyone able to define TOURISM. Brittanica says Tourism, the act and process of spending time away from home in pursuit of recreation, relaxation, and pleasure, while making use of the commercial provision of services.
  8. The 3/6 appears to be back in vogue according to the Thai Embassy, Wellington, New Zealand. https://wellington.thaiembassy.org/th/publicservice/19038-visa-exemption Visa Exemption วันที่นำเข้าข้อมูล 9 ก.ย. 2562 วันที่ปรับปรุงข้อมูล 13 พ.ย. 2566 | 33,499 view Visa Exemption Royal Thai Government Grants Visa Exemption for Tourists from India and Taiwan from 10 November 2023 to 10 May 2024.

  9. Shelled scampi, deep fried in batter was on the menu, more expensive than the fish. Wouldn't know about Soi Cowboy, never been there.
  10. Therefore you will not go to the Source, and educate yourself from a contrary opinion, but wish me to reproduce the same posting on a "open forum" wasting this servers capacity for storage or a data entry crash etc...
  11. Since when? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_war_crimes Links all cited throughout the decades.
  12. 66 million have never get off there arses to support anything in unity, except for lining the streets of London for the passing of Her Majesty, Elizabeth the Second. 1/66 is an astounding participation.
  13. Off to bed now, hopefully Hezbollah haven't kicked off tomorrow.
  14. I have a real life outside "Asean Now" in the real world. For what you wish to immediately convey, I'm sorry I don't fit your schedule.
  15. Lying, is an "intentional distortion" of truth. Posting upon an open forum, the currently accepted atrocities against Palestinian Children, each were being slaughtered every 10 minutes pro rata. Reuters were the source.
  16. The warder doesn't live in the cell with the prisoners.
  17. You are not getting this either. @Neeranam wasn't lying, he gave his opinion based on reports and wasn't factual. Let me clarify: Both, Babies and Children were/are still being killed every 10 minutes in Gaza.
  18. I do not deflect from truth. Truth to date is yet to be determined, no longer is written by the victors. I have no qualms debating these significant and consequential matters openly, whether my viewpoint is adverse or not to otherwise opinion, I do not stoop to absorbing rhetoric for any influence.
  19. If the bricklayer is Yozzer Hughes, perhaps, more so.
  20. Rhetoric.
  21. @Neeranamwasn't exactly lying, but perhaps didn't convey his sentiment "concisely". A child killed on average every 10 minutes in Gaza, says WHO chief | Reuters My children are my babies, and without exception, no child should be subject to slaughter. Forget about being pedantic. "40 babies being decapitated." - "Fetuses cut out of the wombs." - "Babies being roasted in ovens." all rhetoric...
  22. What does make sense is that Cod, Haddock and Plaice has had an overseas patronage for the past 4 decades and supplied by various "cool store" operators. Managing the first ever "Fish and Chip" shop in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, back in the lates 70's and early eighties our frozen fish fillets were always supplied with the skin on, in 10kg boxes. Making "proper" chips was seasonal. The available Lebanese potatoes changed from a good starch content to a more sugar basis, with end results that they became dark and oily. The "cool stores" had frozen chips to fill the gap.
  23. Hollands Puddings - delicious.
  24. Not according to Peoples Republic of China. Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China - Wikipedia However, being off topic, debate this elsewhere, as it's another storm in the brewing whereby unresolved historical events and foolhardy interference will dictate catastrophic effects. Possibly
  25. I do read the news on Tass as well as BBC, CNN, and perhaps the highest circulating UK tabloid as well as local content. The Ukraine is not as cut & dry as the western media portray. Likewise, the tension between the mainland of Peoples Republic of China and the province of Taiwan (Republic of China).
