    Thailand has very little strategic value to the West. The country is encircled by Chinese satellites and sympathizers. Mainland SEAsia is a write off. Chinese bases are already in Cambodia, and they're coming to Thailand with the Chinese submarines. Time to reorient US/Western interests to the Philippines and let Thailand live with its choice as a member of the Chinese/Russian/Iranian bloc.

    Touché

    Jeezus! How long are you people going to argue over the damn menu? What a trivial waste of time.

    Axis applies to the term as it was initially used, where a European land power combined with an Asian expansionist (along with their allies) to start World War II.

    It's no longer valid to do a Srettha to Prayuth comparison. The true comparison now is Thaksin to Prayuth, because Thaksin is now back and fully in control.
  6. John Drake
    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.
  7. John Drake
    Yes, you can now see just how true it is that Prayuth was better.

    Sooner or later, most of you will come to realize that Prayuth was better.

    A certain amount of rote learning is necessary. At the lower levels a great deal of rote learning is necessary. You can't think unless you have something in your head to think about.

    Prayuth was better.

    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.

    Did you hear a loud boom before the lights went out? https://rgbwaves.com/2015/09/27/why-transformers-catch-fire-explode-during-rainy-season/

    Nightmarish. A reminder to remain buckled into your seatbelt.

    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

    No. Died because a drunk hit her from behind.

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

    Must be a VIP. He's got a badge that says so.

    Bangkok western suburbs: got just sprinkles yesterday and this morning clear blue skies with a few clouds.

    There are eight million stories in the naked city; this has been one of them.

    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.

    Seems like a lot of people in Britain measure inflation by the cost of beer.
  23. John Drake
    Suspicious, if you ask me.

    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

    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.
