  1. French style urinals every 500 meters. Even women could use them.
  2. Brilliant. 1. Make casinos legal 2. Srettha's hotels to be a casinos 3. People gamble their money away 4. Land prices fall as debtors sell their land 5. Srettha and friends buy the cheap land and the circle starts again
  3. What a brave person. If he is assassinated I doubt there will be an investigation.
  4. I remember a satirical radio show in Bangkok called Black and White. They would play the Thai song then the western song it was ripped from. A few Carabao songs were included. I remember Ad telling an interviewer, "There are only 7 notes to choose, so it is possible the same notes are used." Or words to that effect.
  5. Goodness knows how anyone can run around in training with this heat. It just sucks the energy from you.
  6. I knew you would say that. https://climatecheck.com/risks/flood/coastal-flooding-subsidence-sea-level-rise
  7. Hotels take your passport and photocopy the picture page. Just cut out that step and give them a photocopy. Perhaps keep one copy for yourself.
  8. Part of the roadmap should include reciprocity. I have met Thais with houses in the UK. Land ownership here is never discussed. Naturalization here is another topic.
  9. Wrong way round. Subsidence happens when water rises. Never mind.
  10. I have no contention other than it is well-known that some Pacific islands are disappearing. Perhaps before you make up anything else, read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise_in_New_Zealand#:~:text=NZ Searise study findings 2022,-The results of&text=of ground levels.-,In some parts of Wellington%2C the land is subsiding by,100 year event in 2020. Subsidence and water rising go hand-in-hand.
  11. Five islands in the Pacific were already submerged by 2011, six more are on the way, being 20% under water at present. https://www.gviaustralia.com.au/blog/disappearing-land-5-pacific-islands/#:~:text=The last of the five,Islands searching for higher ground. https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20221124-pacific-islands-fight-for-existence-before-rising-sea-levels-swallow-them-up Some parts of Thailand are already being flooded: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-11/bangkok-is-sinking-residents-warn-rising-seas-will-swallow-city/102559364 But I guess a smart guy like you already knew that.
  12. Weirdly, global warming was predicted as a trend. Oceans will rise, flooding Pacific islands and Bangkok. I guess no one will agree others were right until we are all dead.
  13. It seems that no one believes that Big Joke is never found guilty because he is innocent.
