The US is probably rightly concerned about Thailand's relationship with China and the possiblility of the re-routing/origin washing of Chinese goods through Thailand. Thailand always sits on the fence and everyone knows it... probably the same reason the US won't sell advanced military equipment to Thailand either as it'll just end up in Beijing to be reversed engineered.

Old money often acquired by ripping off others, how would you call that?
Nice bitter comment... give you that and you can easily reverse that notion too with the new scammers ripping of everyone to get rich quick.

Just makes you a target for scamming by someone... much better to keep levels of wealth secret. Also, rich people with class never talk about money... it's crass and vulgar.

This whole sorry episode is a glaring example to investors of why you shouldn't invest here. One day, suddenly it's okay, then you get a new government and they do a 180 and thousands of people collectively lose billions. This encompasses everything you shouldn't do if you want to attract investment... just too risky for people (might as well just walk into the street and throw your money in the air), and that's the problem here with many things, people just don't know where the goal posts will be in the near future, and it's not just on this, goes for visas, WP, property and all sorts.

This is a good example of far-lefty evil. So, it's perfectly okay for the intolerant left to attack a minority like Jews in such a brazen way, but if the boot was on the other foot, then you are instantly arrested and jailed for speech crime... go figure you effing two-tier Kiers morons.
These vicious and deluded musicians should be arrested and jailed for hate crimes.... like everyone else would be. Reminds me of Putin saying that bombing Iran is out of order but it's okay for him to blow the hell out of Ukraine... FO. Strong is the duplicity with many now.

A little rich coming from the Mexicans, who export thousands of their people to the US yearly only for them to remit their earnings back to Mexico, which keeps it afloat... and you are worried about a bunch of digital nomads working from their bedrooms in Mexican cities. Couldn't make it up.
Fine, Mexico ban all US citizens and the US ban all Mexican citizens, reciprocity is good hey... quid pro quo, lol, good luck with that regarding who loses. So many morons mouthing off these days about nonsense.

Well, depends if Vance can break free from being VP and have a personality and policies... which at least Trump does, even if polarising.

There seems to be much anti-foreigner/tourist sentiment in many parts of the world now.

Sorry, but two live gibbons in pet carriers... and BBK customs missed them. Sounds like a legit oversight... not. I would imagine that they would make a lot of noise etc., WTF. Customs must have been bribed to look the other way as otherwise that's just ridiculous. Next one will be a Rhino found in a shipping container from Thailand at JFK Airport US and US customs is stunned that Thai customs missed it.

Sounds like a good deal, but I won't be buying a Chinese EV until the market settles down and can see which companies will achieve longevity and be around for the long term and which will fold. There are far too many EV manufacturers (over a hundred) in China and few of them will ultimately survive... as you mentioned in the title, NETA has already folded and there will be many more. Call me old fashioned or risk averse, but I don't want to get lumped with a vehicle where after-sales service and repair is problematic, and these Chinese EV car companies don't have the best rep on that front.

Just do what China does, which is let the dams get full and when the next storm happens sneakily open the gates at 3 am whilst dark, give no warnings, let the cities flood, and then deny everything the next day because the dams are more important than peoples' lives or houses. Anyone who complains, just arrest and disappear them.

Actually, I think the Thai casino idea is a good one as it would challenge Hun Sen and his family's hold of the gambling income stream around here that they rely on to hold power, plus would generate tax revenue for Thailand too. This is probably why Cambodia is being hostile at the moment, because it doesn't want gambling legalised in Thailand... to any extent. I say go for it, and choke off some funds flowing to the ex-Khmer Rouge district commander and his family.

Why any country would let in mass amounts of uneducated muslim men with nothing to offer other than their dogmatic religious nonsense towards women is just moronic. Islam teaches that all non-muslim women are there to be prostitutes or sexually serve muslim men... how studpid are European countries?

The Thai authorities reaction will probably be to tighted restrictions on western expats because "foreigners" are making problems... rather like recently to make the roads safer, they increase barriers to driving licences for foreigners (when it's the Thais making the roads unsafe) or restrict access to bank accounts when all the mule accounts are held by Thais or Chinese people. When you hear these stories about Thailand not being safe for Chinese visitors, rarely are they told that it's your fellow countrymen preying on Chinese tourists and people.

Bit of a facepalm really on this one, looks like he was asking for it, very reckless. Driving your car around at that time, probably a DUI too, and you crash into a sign and then take umbridge with the rescue services, plus the cops show up and you have bottles of booze on the passenger seat... you're done. This "teacher" has just got himself a one-way ticket home.
As for the comment about how do teachers afford cars, well, guess it depends what type of teacher you are and where you work. If you are a teacher at some high school like Assumption, then yeah, more difficult to afford one on that 30-35k a month... but if you work at an international school or top-tier university, then the salaries are much higher.

Good, split the Labour vote as the Labour party is essentually two parties together.
There are those that thought with Starmer in charge they would get a Tony Blair/Gordon Brown "New" Labour 2.0 style government and the other lot, which is larger than many think, is Corbyn's hard-left Labour bankrolled by the unions.
No problem with me if all the far-lefty communists coalesce into a single party and everyone can see them for what they really are, rather than hiding in plain site pretending to be mainstream Labour, as they will become irrevelent and do far less damage.
Hopefully Corbyn will get all the Momentum morons to jump ship too and stop being the cancer they are in the Labour party now.

Very few Thai government ideas survive contact with reality... the Ministry of Grand Plans and Lofy Ideas at it again.

Well, letting in all the Indians and Russians will make that happen, as HIV is widespread in both populations... even if under reported.

Bit tricky at 80kph.
Actually, not really, after you stop... assuming you live at that speed. If there is damage to the back of your car and damage to the front of their vehicle plus debris all over the road it's pretty much a done deal.
However, what you must do is to take photos of the incident from an angle that shows the whole situation with an identifiable landmark in the background... i.e. a row of shops or road sign etc. so you can prove where it happened.
Although, for those out there that want to be super-sure and maybe a little paranoid, then fair play... get a rear-facing one too, but it is a little overkill.

Just now, Screaming said:
"you need a dash cam" Dash cam and rear cam pointing behind you.
Well, with the rear mounted one, it's less important, as you can just jump out your car and start taking pics on your phone and it's easy to establish who is wrong with that situation... more difficult to do at the front without a dash cam.
