Not being bothered is a really underrated perk of Thailand. I don't know if it's a quirk of the competitive and individualistic nature of the West, but it does seem like messing with other people and having some sort of impact on their lives is very popular. It's like people either want to directly bother people, or they need them to validate their life in some way, just to make them feel good. Whilst you do get people in Thailand that care about their image and what people think of them, you rarely get the feeling that they want to inflict something on others as part of it.

Coke in Thailand is already weak enough. You need to take a trip to Laos just to get a sip of the good stuff!

That's what she is charged with. I wonder if she can get away with manslaughter based on stupidity... 🤔

One of the main reason Trump was voted in was his promise to "Make America great again", and a big part of that was returning production work to the US. You have no idea what you are talking about and your hatred for Trump has clouded your judgement and disabled your critical thinking ability.

How did Trump cave to China?

Not super-specific at the moment, but multiple reliable news sites are reporting it. https://www.investopedia.com/which-countries-are-retaliating-and-which-are-negotiating-trump-s-tariffs-update-11711796 https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/04/09/will-trump-negotiate-tariffs-president-touts-talks-with-other-countries-but-unclear-how-long-theyll-take/ https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/08/politics/trump-tariff-negotiations-foreign-leaders/index.html Although I realise this will come as bad news to Trump-haters, it is at least fairly positive news for the US. 🤷‍♂️

Suuuure...

Trump is a master strategist. The tariffs scared people into negotiating, they are now paused while the negotiations take place. Unfortunately, people are so mentally damaged by the very existence of Trump, they are unable to process information in a normal way. They're so desperate for a "gotcha" moment, they cannot think rationally.

Obviously Trump will be successful and China will cave. Trump is a master strategist and China is in the far weaker position.

IT says "throat tightness" here. https://www.livestrong.com/article/520028-caffeine-and-throat-tightness/ Does that fit your symptoms?

"Don't focus on what we're doing, look at this scary thing instead and let us get on with it."

I guess it becomes an issue when there's a chance of a wider audience seeing it. 🤷‍♂️

I was going to say, Mor Lam dancers at "family-friendly" events wear little clothing and shake their butts in exactly this way.

Can you dink cola?

Weird, as there is no car park visible in either picture. Do they mean "parked car"?

Interesting idea, and I think they attempted this in a city called Pattaya. Will Thais be free to move in and out to extract money from the foreigners?

That really depends on the country. Somewhere like Thailand is harder due to the race and culture being so different to the West. Possibly some truth in this, but the Thais don't exactly make it easy. No matter how long a foreigner lives in Thailand, they will be viewed as a complete outsider. They'll also find that there are many issues where a foreigner is immediately discriminated against. Even foreigners who speak fluent Thai, many still report not really feeling like they belong and being treated as a stranger.

Although the exact definition varies by jurisdiction, in general manslaughter doesn't mean killing somebody by accident, it means killing someone without having planned it beforehand. So, if you just suddenly decide to kill someone and then instantly do it, it's manslaughter? That doesn't sound right. Generally, manslaughter means the death was unintentional or it was intentional with some sort of mitigating circumstances. Do you have a link that supports your claim?

The guy didn't die. You can't have murder without a murder.

How much do Burmese labourers get paid that they can have a wife back home and a wife in Thailand, both with children?

He tried to persuade the officers that had arrested him to release him, either based on his job and rank or money offered.

JFC. I thought at first it was the ex-husband that was killed. The victim is just a kind old man that gave a sick disabled woman a lift somewhere and then chilled out in a hammock. What an absolute animal the murderer is.

I'd believe you if they didn't seem to wear them more indoors than out. And I meant generally, rather than specifically in a hospital.

Christ. No wonder half of them are still wearing "covid masks".

It seems that it is either used as a drug, an aerosol propellant, or to make combustion engines go faster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide
