John Drake replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
More and more evidence that Thailand under Srettha is not only "bending" towards China but becoming a full fledged member of the China/Russia/North Korea/Iran axis.- 79 replies

Which Durian do you prefer? Pick your favourite
John Drake replied to george's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Mon Thong. That is what you're most likely to find in Tops, the Thonburi Market, and Don Wai, which are the three places I go to for durian. Just writing this, I'm watering at the mouth. Will head out to Tops to buy some more tomorrow. -

Srettha is Considering a Food Partnership with Barilla
John Drake replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Barilla, the most overpriced pasta in Thailand. Their olive oil is priced okay, but then a few years ago they were found to be selling fake EVO, along with most other Italian olive oil producers. There is pasta just as good as Barilla's at half the price and they don't hatch out weevils a few days after you buy them. https://www.cnbc.com/2015/11/13/italys-slippery-extra-virgin-olive-oil-scandal.html -

She says she is moving to Thailand because she can't afford her UK energy bill. Doesn't sound "wealthy" to me. -

Iranian president, foreign minister killed in tragic helicopter crash

Alex Jones is blaming the crash on a CIA weather machine. How did it ever come that such pure nut stuff is now accepted by millions of low IQ drones? -

Yes, let's go back to locking down and locking out. Rid the country of Youtubers. Just like it was back in those Golden Days of Covid control 2020 to 2022. -

British family leaves UK for Thailand for lower costs of living
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If they want this story to be "their business alone," then maybe they shouldn't have gone to the press to publicize it. See the notice at the bottom of the story from which this AN topic originated? It reads: "Do you have a money story you’d like to share? Get in touch by emailing money( at)gbnews.uk." https://www.gbnews.com/money/cost-of-living-crisis-move-thailand-energy-bills -
British family leaves UK for Thailand for lower costs of living
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Do a search on her. She is an activist. This isn't her first time in the news, complaining about energy and inflation. This is a PR stunt. -
Same. I now enjoy the smell of durian. And getting a perfect durian--is always an enjoyable hunt. Because some durians are better than others. Don't want one too hard. Don't want one overly slimy (although somewhat slimy is okay). Want one puffy and light, like biting into a pastry. As for the alcohol. I can't see the taste of wine or beer going much with durian.

Thai Navy Agrees to Install Chinese Engine in Its New Submarine
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
There has been a slow moving coup in Vietnam. Hardline pro-China generals (two police generals and an army general) have replaced the economic "liberals." The mass population of Vietnam may hate China, but the Communist Party sees it as the best way to retain their grip on power. That is what is important to them. More important than the South China Sea, economic dependency, and industrial growth. A lot of American companies relocated or are planning to relocate from China to Vietnam. They're still going to be playing into Chinese control. The US needs to reverse this daydream about a Vietnamese alliance and restructure all American investment and defense installations to the Philippines. -
