  1. Here we go again. All year people are riding to fast with kids in the back of pickup trucks. It's not illegal as far I can tell and no police would ever stop you for this.
  2. then who was that fat girl? Very strange video. Ugly stuff hard to watch.
  3. Looks like the Thai guy started punching some other skinny little Asian too? Maybe he was friends with the big guy.
  4. Special exemptions for massage ladies and sex workers.
  5. Where is this narrative coming from? It's a step in the direction of rebalancing trade. Trade is obviously never going to be 1:1 with Thailand but in no world is it fair to have tariffs coming from Thailand and having the US just take it. Why can't Thailand just be fair with their trading? That isn't too much to ask.
  6. I don't even agree with tariffs but I'm loving this story so far. Oh my god they did that thing to us that we did to them! Man the battleships! Maybe next time they can start charging Thai tourists 10x the price to enter national parks and see how they like that one and of course it goes without saying to ban all non-citizens from purchasing land or single residences.
  7. Let me guess....It's not her fault for keeping sex slaves because she is a victim of white supremacy?
  8. They're REALLY trying the patience of minorities with their BS right now but things like DEI and government services are very important to those groups and Democrats are the ones giving that out. Asians and Indians aren't using services like blacks/hispanics but they still vote majority democrat out of racial solidarity and because the Republicans are nativist which is threatening to new immigrants. Asians could swing Republican someday maybe given enough time. Already they're being opening discriminated against in universities alongside whites.
  9. They do vote, and they vote against white people. It's baked into the cake at this point Republicans will never win another election again unless they become more like the Democrats. Trump was an outlier and really got people excited but by next election he goes away and it's back to business as usual where Democrats get 60-70% of the Hispanic vote. Trump & Elon are probably going to increase legal immigration too from groups like Indians which vote against Republicans.
  10. Citizenship is just paper, means nothing except to the state. Dissolve the US government tomorrow and suddenly your magic piece of paper has no power and is worthless.
  11. Too late, whites will be a minority within 10-15 years. All those illegal immigrants over decades have been having children and will out number the original population soon.
  12. It's even worse than I thought then. I will no go to Phichit. I'll go to anywhere else 10x before I go there.
  13. Phichit is some of the worst Thailand has to offer. Pointless flat terrain in the central plains. Literally no reason to go there unless you've been everywhere else multiple times.
  14. They had those in 1998??? I thought they came much later. I was cycling in Chiang Mai when you were here. Did a couple bike races in 2013 until I decided that wasn't for me. Doi Suthep and Doi Inthanon. Maybe I ran in to you for all I know.
  15. Hopefully you kept some souvenirs like elephant pants and some lung cancer. 😂
  16. Early today on iqair.com I saw Mae Hong Son at 750!!! Looks like they turned off the meter now! 😂
  17. This is so sad. He had a really great channel and showed me some places I never saw. Only made it 12 months in Chiang Mai. He had a heart attack I heard, maybe brought on by the accident but he was going to recover easily, just some broken ribs. May have been totally unrelated since we don't know his medical history. RIP.
  18. With all due respect if you post on a GoFundMe on your website this is a tacit approval or endorsement. If this was a criminal who got in trouble and was asking for donations I'm sure you wouldn't be posting links to help them.
  19. Yeah certainly people get killed because of other dangerous drivers who the police will never stop. This particular case was operator error though and possibly in some other scenario he may have been the reason for another innocent driver getting killed. Lots of blame to go around here.
  20. but not always rationally. If they wanted to avoid these kinds of accidents they need to have some basic road rules but no instead they let everyone do anything and then when someone gets hurt they're shocked and angry. Motorbikes are all over the road in Thailand often going at dangerous speeds and no one yields to each other. Cars then just slowly pull out and wait for the bikes to go around them. This is common driving here but obviously dangerous and gets people killed. It's hard to see from the video but this looks totally normal to me. Whose fault is this? I would say it's everyone's fault for not doing something about it already. Their angry this time was misplaced I think.
  21. Fair enough but then why does ASEANNow promote her to strangers on the internet who aren't even Americans? I bet she makes more than 90% of the people here too. Maybe that's why it feels like begging.
  22. I went to Koh Samui last winter for the first time during peak tourist season and rented a motorbike for 5 days. It's not that bad except for some really nasty traffic in the city. You see the dangerous people doing stupid things like racing to pass across on narrow roads. It's actually very easy to avoid if you just slow down and take your time. More dangerous than a car but it's not a death sentence by any means.
  23. Thailand really needs to inform tourists that Thai people will not always stop at the crossings and for people to take caution. On the other hand something I really dislike now about the safety culture in the west is that people are supposed to expect cars to stop for them when there are any posted signs. People make mistakes and cars may not see you so even if it's illegal you pay with your life. It's so bad where I'm from in Colorado. People just walk across without looking because there's a crossing and people get killed in these really stupid accidents because they were careless and thought they had the law on their side.
