  1. Forget to mention the 41 year old guy who plays in the middle of the street with his skateboard and who slammed on the brakes stopped his motorcycle in front of the Thai woman and then spat on her windshield and tried to pull her out of her car?
  2. This is not a reading culture. Even the universities don't use textbooks.
  3. In their late 30s, living a purposeless life on family money. Just the type of trouble you would expect of low IQ people of this sort.
  4. Two narcissistic privileged children from a filthy rich family who think they can buy their way out of trouble. They're probably able to do so on their home turf. Same attitude as the Red Bull kid.
  5. I've never even come close. Might as well take the money I spend on lottery tickets and buy bitcoin instead.
  6. Both brothers MMA fighters according to Khaosod.
  7. "Spirited" Seems a euphemism for unhinged hotheads.
  8. These weren't Jews running from the Gestapo. It was a couple of guys running away from a traffic ticket and who escalated things to the point that they were holding a gun on a Thai policeman. There are other, smart ways, to handle a situation where you think you are being robbed (of which there is no evidence in this current incident). But a smart person would have acted like the Taiwanese actress a year ago, who paid the bribe, then went public, and got results: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/six-thai-police-officers-indicted-for-extorting-money-from-taiwanese-actress/ This is how a sane, high IQ person behaves.
  9. Yes. They have a sense of entitlement, obviously. Thought they could buy their way out with a bribe, like some sort of mini-Red Bull. Might have worked had it been done in the dark, without video. But this is blasting all over Thailand in every sort of media.
  10. No wonder they thought they could bribe their way out of the situation. From another article linked on to that one: "Their parents, millionaire business and property owners Laurence and Katrina Day, have asked for calm and privacy in the aftermath of the high-profile incident which saw video emerge - and broadcast on Thai television - of disturbing scenes." https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/watch-parents-of-kiwi-brothers-arrested-in-thailand-speak-as-video-shows-fight-for-control-of-cops-pistol/6CJNBFDOGFHVDB5IRKHJEICKMU/
  11. A couple of guys who did just about everything wrong that could be imagined. Thailand needs to invade Phuket and reestablish sovereignty.
  12. Does China allow its citizens to download Tik Tok? If not, then why should any other country?
  13. A lot of leases here have a 2 months notice for cancellation no matter the lease's length.
  14. This guy from New York or Jersey? House looks like hell on earth to me. So does the wife. But that's just personal preferences.
  15. Yet another in the long list of reasons why you should only rent.
  16. Until the past two 90 day reports, I had been submitting both by mail and online, mainly because online seemed to be taking forever. But mail wasn't any better. I received 90 day receipts almost 70 days past the deadline--with the new 90 day 15 day window already in effect. Fortunately, online service picked up recently at Chaengwattana, so I'm back to submitting only by online. But for sure, if you submitted by mail to Chaengwattan, they are taking a long time to reply.
  17. But there are never any consequences. For example: https://aseannow.com/topic/1322306-us-plans-to-reinstate-gsp-scheme-for-thailand-enhancing-trade-relations/
  18. As it also has to Russian participation in criminal gangs and human trafficking.
  19. Just finished watching the 9th and last episode of Masters of the Air. Why did I do this to myself? The characters seemed to blur in my mind. Hate the washed out photography which seems to be in style for the past 15 years or so. Series was choppy and felt it was ticking boxes to make people happy. I swear there was a Mexican flag displayed at the liberation of the last Luft Stalag. Might have been a Moroccan one there, too. A guy in a fez certainly was. Seemed like a mishmash. And then suddenly they were all gone back home. The end.
