  1. So, just to be clear, these are not "Motorcycle Taxi" like those fellows with the orange vests outside of BTS/MRT stations that will bring you locally to your destination for a few baht, so much as rental electric motorcycles more closely akin to the bicycles which are already available to rent. The picture illustration would present the later. I'm confused as to why these are called taxis if in fact the passenger is the driver, and there's no seat provided for a separate passenger.
  2. I wonder if there is a "Go Fund Me" page for the family, for the return of the ashes, and the little boy to the "impoverished" family here in Thailand?
  3. Former PM Pryut once stated, Thai students need to think "in the box, not outside of it". That says it all. Nothing has changed.
  4. No, into an ungovernable, fragmented, post-apocalyptic hellscape like Libya, transit point for refugees that will dog Europe for decades to come, and marketplace for human trafficking and slavery.
  5. Doesn't have a rats chance in hell. Tremendous hardship a few years ago in India cancelling the 500 Rupee notes. Chaos.
  6. Quoting Leviticus ….. how laughably absurd. "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" - Gandhi And yet, Luigi Mangione acted on his own to stop a CEO who wilfully, with full intent and increasingly advocated and implemented programs at United Healthcare that automatically denied lifesaving care to tens of thousands, and prevented further review, even, especially when the treatments were specifically prescribed by the patient’s doctor as necessary, resulting in their misery and death. United Healthcare under Brian Thompson had far and away the highest rate of denial of claims among all of its competitors, more than twice the nearest, and sought consulting firms to further increase the rate of denial. The American healthcare system is absolutely criminal, inhumane, as were the actions of Brian Thompson. To hell with him, the man was a murderous monster. Luigi Mangione committed justifiable homicide, nothing more, amidst a vicious system that put profit over human live, that persists still. Free Luigi.
  7. Shocking 😳 I'm sure children are already traumatized by this glitch Just as somewhere, somehow, some [then] child is still traumatized by Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" at the 2004 Super Bowl in which for a fraction of a second her breast was partially exposed - and CBS was fined $550k USD (for?). O the humanity! 😥
  8. Because the announcement of a direct flight is so incredibly inconsequential, trivial in comparison to a direct flight as formerly was offered by Thai Airways from BKK to LAX. There's nothing "new" about this really, so you get to sit on the same plane as it sits on the tarmac to refuel - big deal,on the airline with among the lowest quality in-flight experience in the world, yeah let's have a party. Already, and still, as others have pointed out one could fly Cathay Pacific to HK in far better comfort. Or go via Singapore, via Singapore Airways. Again, to your point, people confuse Direct and non-stop because this announcement is such a non-event as to be altogether forgettable.
