If Thailand wants to join the advanced F35 club, they have to pick a side and commit to buy the whole set. That means cutting ties with the Chinese. Not likely.- 36 replies

For decades, Walking Street bars have enabled miles of pipe to be buried, nightly, 6" at a time. Wires should be easy.

Other online sites have the odds of some of the goods going missing at 500:1

Thanks to poor Mr. Somporn, Thai building construction quality improves overnight.

To save energy, why not just offer a national tax credit promotion for those that rent hotel rooms by the hour instead, say 9PM to midnight? It gets people out of the bar early, the lights are dim, and they don't stay that long.

New Regulation Allowing Foreigners To Buy Land Withdrawn: Anupong
Gold Star replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
To be fair, the identical reciprocating policy should apply for Thais owning land or property in other countries. If a Thai can't buy land in China, then Chinese can't buy land in Thailand. If a Canadian can't buy land in Thailand, then a Thai can't buy land in Canada, and so on. Problem solved. -

Not really the same thing... In the Metaverse, you don't have any immigration or visa hassle, get ripped off by TukTuk and taxi drivers, sprain your ankle on broken sidewalk, get electrocuted by low hanging live wires, get run over on zebra crossings, or suffer the stench of sewer gas.

Five tonnes of smuggled pork seized near Cambodian border
Gold Star replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand
One would think cooking it ensures it would be safe for consumption and then given it to the poor. That might even ensure a lot more local tip offs for smuggled pork. -
Well, it would be too common to go out dressed as Hitler with all the Hitler T-shirts and swastika stuff sold at most markets here in Thailand. Funny how some things strike sensitive nerves here and other things don't.

EV batteries are unique, vehicle specific, and many times more costly to replace at the dealer compared to stationary batteries. I would not want to have an EV plugged in and charged and discharged repeatedly without a very very large cash incentive.

German man in north sets fire to pick-up after argument with wife

Pretty dark to advertise vehicle insurance on this news item. Never miss a good opportunity... -
Thailand is absolutely wonderful, but never make the mistake thinking you are in a free country like back home. You leave behind your basic human rights to privacy, equality, and freedom of speech when you got on that plane.

No problem. All forgiven here after a few wais. At the very least, he should be forced to play in leg irons with a 6" chain.

Thai Tests Positive For Fast-Spreading BQ. 1 Subvariant
Gold Star replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Got Covid now, caught it a week ago, finally, after all this time. It is like a cold for me, upper chest mainly. Fever for 2 days, then becomes just an annoyance keeping you isolated at home. I had my Pfizer dose number 4 only two weeks prior. It does not keep you from getting Covid, but it keeps you from getting deathly ill. I'm still very glad I did. -
I think TAT is missing out on a great promotional opportunity for extreme tourists here. 'Blading in Bangkok' could rival 'Running with the Bulls' in Pampalona.

Wow... I see the nearest one is now only 180 kms south from here in Chiang Rai. Clearly this energy transition is not going so well as we are led to believe.
