Chinese government awards US$4.1m for local projects in Thailand
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Didn't China just start filling a new dam on the Lancang, further reducing water going downstream? Is this a payoff to stop "authorities" from complaining? -
Don't give a flip about the UK. This topic isn't about the UK. This is Thailand and I can get treatments as soon as needed. BTW, you can't get immediate care in the US either. It takes weeks to get an appointment with a primary, unless you want to go into the emergency room and pay through the nose. Anything that works to import US standards and costs into Thailand is a disaster and should be resisted. Nice to see the worthless ambassador stop posting pictures of his jogging trips long enough to raid the Thai health care system.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
John Drake replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
I've watched the entirety of 3 Body. Thought the scenes of the Cultural Revolution quite good. Unfortunately, there is the rest of the series. Yes, they're casting for diversity. And somehow they've managed to find almost an entire cast that can't act, including Rosalind Chao. Terribly dull. Seems written to appeal to teenagers, with angst ridden "deep thoughts" being passed out in bars and bedroom conversations. This is what a 15 year old thinks is serious and important. Usually dark and gloomy photography that passes for "art" these days. And the conversations consist of growls, mumbling, and grunts. Can't hear vast passages. Need subtitles for the English. -

Thailand needs Chinese triads and Russian mafias? That's at the root of the problem in Phuket and elsewhere. -
Donald Trump Forced to Reveal His Finances to Save His Properties

I'm so tired of hearing about Trump's antics. I can't take another four years of this (or Biden either). -
Chinese tourist asks govt when 21-day Songkran Festival begins
John Drake replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
This is something I admire in Chinese tourists. They don't hesitate to complain when they feel cheated. Reminds me of the Great Loy Krathong Rebellion of 2019 in Chaing Mai. -

Thai government plans 7% VAT on imported goods from May
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Just hold everything via post at Lak Si, require you to make a trip there that'll cost you maybe a 1000 baht, and have you pay your 70 baht tax. -

US, Japan, Philippines plan joint South China Sea naval patrols
John Drake replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Marcos has made a successful 180 degree turn in foreign policy. I hope he is soon receiving support from the US. Not just military but financial and trade investments. Money invested in Thailand and Vietnam should be redirected towards the Philippines, a more important country strategically, with cultural and linguistic ties to the US.
