  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.
  14. I don't suppose signing treaties to link the criminal databases of countries is on the cards. For an immigration officer to have access to incoming tourists' criminality after a swipe of the passport could be useful.
  15. Counterfeiting has been going on for centuries. People used to wait at the docks in America to get the latest Charles Dickens novel then produce counterfeit copies. It does go down as laws become stronger.
  16. Can't imagine them accessing the poor. "How do I get money?" "Open your laptop." "Don't have one." "Contact us after you buy one." " Can I borrow the money to buy a laptop?"
  17. GMC is clear that activism is fine, it's the criminal convictions it is wary of.
  18. What do you know? What's next is leprosy in Florida I guess: https://www.sciencealert.com/experts-warn-leprosy-isnt-ancient-history-as-cases-surge-in-the-us
  19. Someone should have told him Buddha died over two millennia ago and was extinguished from the universe. Asking him for anything seems pointless.
  20. Are there any countries that allow you to work without a work permit? Just thinking that I don't know of any, which doesn't mean there aren't any.
  21. I don't see how we can communicate with alien civilizations as the maximum speed attainable is that of light. If we have enough money to put colonies in other planets, we should have enough to save this planet first.
