But wouldn't that mean cracking down on the Chinese tourist triads and the Russian tourist mafias as well?

How many Thais are lined up to go to Russia? Russia could offer them a lifetime visa and I bet there wouldn't be hardly any Thai takers at all. The US and European countries don't offer a similar 90 day visa because Thais are straining at the leash to get into those countries. When I go to the US Embassy, I usually see long lines of Thais stretching down the street waiting for the visa appointment. Does that happen at the Russian or Chinese or North Korean embassies? Why don't the Thai billionaires with second and third and fourth homes in the West buy houses and sports teams in Russia, instead of the West?

Enhanced when standing next to the Russian midget.

Why would the "outside vendors" ever participate? They only get a credit that they can apply to buying from their competitors who are in the system? Can't be many "inside vendors" in many of these remote villages within the 4km zone. Maybe one or two?

Better known as the Belt and Road Forum. Or BARF.

Many of said Thailand was getting an anti-Western PM and kept telling you Prayuth was better.

This is what neutrality looks like in Thailand.

So, Jackson Hinkle has taken out an account on AseanNow

Khaosod says the number of "not the target of Hamas" Thais killed is now 29, with another added to the hostage list.

Ukraine was supposed to take Russia three days to defeat and occupy. Didn't work out that way for some reason. Some people (not referring to cited poster above, here) might need to realize that thinking World War III is possible is wrong. It has already started, with war fronts breaking out in Ukraine, Israel, and soon Taiwan. The Ukrainian front is being attacked by the Russian dictator, Israel by the mullah-backed stone age Hamas, and Taiwan in the sights of the Chinese dictator, all while the Turkish dictator looking for his opportunity to jump in along with his three allies.

On one side: Dictators Xi, Putin, Kim and the stone age mullahs in Iran and Hamas behind the executions of dozens of Thais, while holding others hostage. But . . . neutral.

And "just happen" to have Hamas terrorists behead a semi-conscious Thai worker with a garden hoe. All put on video.

Pattaya, the devil's playground.

It's okay, because the Thai government is neutral and says Thais are not being targeted.

And the Thai government doesn't want to take sides.

I love the truck! Long live the truck!

So Thailand is going to run Chinese agitprop exclusively.

"Get"??? No, they'll be forking over 10,000 instead.

My avatar agrees with you.

After reading through the list up until right this moment, I can think of three more forgotten series worth being put up. 1. The Invaders (1967-68), with Roy Thinnes 2. The River (2012), a TV explorer goes missing in Amazonia on a river that alters space and time, with Bruce Greenwood. 3. Shogun (1980), the mini-series based on James Clavell's novel.

I have never seen that one, although I've always wanted to. I don't think it ever ran on US television. Another obscure cult classic, sort of like Coronet Blue, I would guess from its description.

Good one. A couple of others in that vein, Ripcord and Whirlybirds.

I'm sort of with you on that score. I began to tire of TV when story arcs became ever present, replacing episodic TV. The only story arc series I ever liked ran for but one season, Nowhere Man (1995-96), with Bruce Greenwood.

Gaza can get the water, food, and electricity turned back on, according to Israel. All they need to do is release the hostages.

Just saw on the Bangkok Post that Twitter/X has removed "hundreds" of Hamas affiliated accounts and "tens of thousands" of items of content since the terror raid. Apparently, this online Hamas assault was coordinated with the real-time terror attack.
