Speaks for itself.

You miss the point. It's not about the actions per se. It's the Thai response to the actions. For the nationalities you mentioned, similar incidents resulted in severe repercussions (see Swiss doctor kicker, New Zealand cop beaters, and the German biker gang member a while back). Why are Russians getting a pass for what appears to be worse behavior (kicking a pregnant shop owner inside her own establishment, killing an American motorcyclist and his girlfriend) and the result is meaningless punishments or none at all?

Revoke and Deport.

Same ones who helped with the Yellow Line?

Noooooooo!!!!

35 and 54 percent humidity in Bangkok's western suburbs. Seems like usual. 35 or 36 is okay. I won't complain until 39 or 40.

Fast and furious.

The sub is needed because it will necessitate permanent Chinese military "technical advisers."

90 days visa free direct flight to Phuket???

Many reasons. Not least is the sameness of the product. Movies (and TV) look the same (washed out grayscaling the photography), by the numbers casting, juvenile storylines, and refusal to give the customer what they want.

I have most of those things as well. Run fans and the computer almost all day. But I don't use a/c during the day. Not even in 40 degree weather. I want to acclimatize to my environment. Walking outside after sheltering in a/c all day is miserable. I only use the a/c around 10 or 11pm and set it at 30 or 31. With fans, it's okay. I do turn off lights and fans when not in use. I don't have any freezers, however, and that's one thing I wish I did have downstairs. Are you using the heat for those showers? Two or three cold showers seem like heaven to me. It's so hot right now, that the cold water is coming out hot. My electric bill is almost always under 1000 baht, often during winter it stays around 750 or so.

Okay, that makes sense.

How do people have a 6100 baht electricity bill?

Not as long as they stay in Vientiane.

Reflective of the childish low IQ of both candidates and their campaigns. Need a fully functional adult in the presidency. Not one of these two imbeciles.

Question for those of you who watch the movement in bitcoin prices. When I followed gold closely, it was often if not usually the case that Asia would bid up the price of gold overnight or over the weekend. Then gold would get hammered down when US markets open. Is there a similar pattern with bitcoin?

Guess they do need the train for "connectivity." Because China is turning off the tap for the Mekong. SE Asia is just going to do what they're told and shut up. Or China will give them a permanent drought.

What's the surprise? This is how colonial mercantilism works.
