Hospital charging more for foreigners
Thanks, this is interesting. I recently requested a colonoscopy in May. The doc said about 10,000 baht. Seems reasonable but now I am not so sure.

Trump Pledges a ‘Historic’ First Day with a Surge of Executive Orders
I was reading that the way he could serve a third term is that he stands for VP in the next election and the stooge who wins as President resigns, allowing Trump to assume office. Something about the constitution saying he can't stand for President, but the VP shall succeed to the presidency in such a case. Something to look forward to.

Trump's Second Inaugural Address "The golden age of America begins right now,"
Did he understand that he would be sent back to India as his parents weren't American at his birth? His father still holds Indian nationality (Indians aren't allowed dual nationality) and his mother naturalized after his birth. Bye Vivek.

Thaksin blames Prawit for political turmoil amid coup fallout
Maybe unpopular but I believe there is no good reason for a coup. This would imply that any acts by a junta are automatically illegal; all charges made by a junta are illegal; anyone found guilty of anything by a junta are innocent until democracy returns. People may say a junta may pass good laws or jail real criminals but those acts should be automatically illegal in themselves. In short, an illegal government cannot do anything legally by nature of their method of taking power

Nigel Farage and Reform UK: Disrupting the Two-Party Dominance

Thailand battles hazardous PM2.5 pollution levels in 28 provinces

Thailand bets big on casino boom under entertainment banner

House Approves Bill to Prohibit Transgender Student-Athletes from Women's Sports
When has the Republican Party ever emphasized women's rights? Can anyone help me out by pointing to legislation that emphasized women's rights, since enfranchisement in 1920? Honest question.

Surge in Support for Mask Ban in New York Amid Rising Hate Incidents
Going through immigration anywhere in the world it is compulsory to show your face. It doesn't mean you are a suspected criminal but makes it easier to find those who are criminals. Protesters should be told to show their faces.
