Can't blame the roads this time, it was a reckless motorbike rider without a helmet that basically killed himself.- 148 replies

Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
NorthernRyland replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
OK, then it makes no sense to me. I'd like to hear an explanation from the Trump team on this one too. -
Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
NorthernRyland replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This isn't an answer. You can't know who from which country wants to buy what but we DO know when that times comes Thailand is not being fair. This is a matter of principle too. US companies are having to pay the Thai government taxes. How about no? screw them. -

I think he just wants Australia to drop their tariffs right? Even if there's a surplus why should the government be charging American companies extra to import products. Australian consumers would appreciate it too. -
Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax

Liberals are always fighting for a minimum wage because they believe the greedy corporations are withholding money from their employees and they will pay the new wages out of pocket and won't raise prices. Sound familiar? Why is it reversed now for the liberals? The greedy corporations in these other countries are making huge money so why not tax them and spend the money on social programs in the US? Why do you now assume the consumers will pay the tariffs instead of the companies importing the products? I'm going to say media brainwashing. If it were Kamala doing this I'd bet good money you'd singing a totally different tune. -

Sure but why can't Thailand drop their tariffs then? I'm hearing lots of good reasons why the US should't be in a trade war with Thailand but no reasons why Thailand can't simply play fair. -

I agree Thailand and US can not have balanced trade by any means. However Thailand can still remove their tariffs and play fair. Why is this not a good thing? -
This is just another day of retard tier driving in Thailand. I'm sure if we got to see the whole video fully zoomed out there would be a million things going wrong on all levels. From the angle we have it looks like it was a normal day in Thailand. Motorbikes driving too fast in no particular lane and a car creeps out and hits one of the motorbikes. Totally normal here to see driving like this and Thais are none bothered until they get themselves killed.

This is intended to disadvantage imported products in favor of local products. For example I was going to buy a Tesla but with the tariff I couldn't afford it so I decided to get one of these instead. -
In the north at least these tend to happen at the start of rainy season. I think growth from the previous year accumulates and then dries out in the winter/summer and when the first rains come branches come down. In fact just this evening the power has flickered on and off a few times for 10-20 minutes. Must have been a storm somewhere and they're working to fix downed lines. We're now getting some summer storms and the first rains in 5 months and I've seeing the broken branches all over.

My power went off last night because a tree went down in a wind storm and took down an entire concrete poll (happens often). Very hard to protect against this because of all the tall trees throughout the mountain which are impractical to cut down and would be ugly anyways. They always come out and fix it regardless of time of day which I'm very impressed with.

British Man Dies After First Muay Thai Fight on Koh Samui
NorthernRyland replied to Georgealbert's topic in Koh Samui News
My impression of golf was that it was a good way for an older person to get outside and be active and social without doing an actual sport of some sort. The next step up would be something like pickle ball. All in all a good thing. -

ok but have you seen slap fighting? The game is you slap him, and then he slaps you. The last man standing wins and your prize is a lifetime of mental retardation. -
BREAKING NEWS Skyscraper comes down in Bangkok earthquake
NorthernRyland replied to MalcolmB's topic in Bangkok News
again just water splashed over the top. Maybe the structure of the building is ruined but I think it's too early to know. Obviously they need to do extensive audits of the damage and see what's actually happened. -
Bangkok Shop Owner Defends Right to Sell Controversial Shirts
NorthernRyland replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
I know a person who had his application for a homestay license denied because there were inappropriately placed images of lord master Buddha within the property. They are indeed very sensitive to their own images being misused. The woman is clearly within her rights to sell whatever she wants but then they need to underhand also when some hippy girls gets a Buddha tattoo on her butt checks. -

BREAKING NEWS Skyscraper comes down in Bangkok earthquake
NorthernRyland replied to MalcolmB's topic in Bangkok News
Besides that one building under construction which went down all the rest look like they held up pretty good no? I see the videos of the water from pools splashing over the top but that's to be expected. -
we're on alert for Tsunamis right now but haven't heard anything yet. We're right off the coast now, less than 100m to the water.

Oh man I just left Chiang Mai airpot for Krabi this morning at 7am. All I'm experiencing here is shirtless farangs, fatties and nasty Russian girls with inflated lips but no earthquake damage yet.

I'm getting 9/11 vibes again watching those videos. I hope Thailand doesn't invade Iraq now.
