So they do have to study in the UK or US? Why not Thailand?

Thailand makes promises at every COP meeting and then fails to meet their stated aims. Not that they are alone in this.

Graduates of any Thai educational institution would be suspect .

It's a hairy situation I guess. Raise it substantially and expect layoffs or price rises to compensate. Again, education is so bad, people are only suitable for shops and labor. If any prime minister days he will raise education levels in one term, he is lying or foolish

At last, a politician who tells it as it is

Aw shucks, so there are some good taxi drivers.

.Yes, it is much worse in the US, I agree.

So happy to be proven wrong and that George Floyd and the dozens of unarmed black guys killed by cops were guilty of living in the wrong area and it had nothing to do with discrimination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unarmed_African_Americans_killed_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_the_United_States Also, happy to be able to access facts like the rate of Hispanics killed by law enforcement officers jumped nearly 45% in the last decade. Must have been because they committed 45% more crimes. https://www.axios.com/2023/05/30/police-brutality-latino-george-floyd But I could be wrong I guess. Oh, these aren't my facts.

Oh... he had a knife not an AR15.? Still, dangerous stabby stabby potential averted.

It is a huge mistake to agree to a police re-enactment. Always refuse to cooperate and get a lawyer in asap.

I guess white cops in the US never discriminate against blacks and Latinos but I could be wrong. If you are wearing a helmet, then having a license is the next thing to check. Lots of tourists hire bikes without a valid license.

August is such a long time ago...

I wonder how many Thais speak Russian? Maybe the poor English scores have been outbalanced by the ability to speak other languages.

The United Nations (UN) was established after the Second World War with the purpose of preventing the recurrence of the wars of the first half of the twentieth century, which brought great grief to mankind, and to safeguard international peace and security. They had one job and failed.

Maybe the question should also include "how often do you test for HIV?"

What happens if the British spouse is retired and the pension is below £38,700?

Try copying or moving songs to a PC or laptop first. Then install a version of iTunes appropriate for your operating system. You can still find older versions of iTunes on the Apple site (last time I looked). Uncheck the option in preferences to automatically update iTunes. Then you can copy to the iPod using iTunes..

This is what happens when guns are easily available to morons.

I assume when people vote for a party they are voting for its policies. If those policies include a charter amendment then a referendum may be unnecessary.

Most Palestinians don't want a two state solution, they want to kill all Jews "from the river to the sea". When someone wants your utter annihilation, there aren't many choices.

Surely there are videos of trump threatening to use the presidential office to take revenge? There is no need for opinion. What he says in public is evidence enough.

I haven't seen the documentary so can't comment on whether it is negative or just factual. I do know that the number of prostitutes across the European Union's 28 members states ranges between 700,000 and as many as 1.2 million. In Germany alone, the industry is estimated to be worth $16.3 billion, according to Germany's Federal Statistics Office. This is in itself evidence that it is possible for a government to gain much needed revenue from the world oldest profession while reducing social stigma and disease - if the income is used wisely. Pattaya is the region's sex capital and that is simply a fact of life. The Thai government can either regulate it and benefit or keep it informal and act offended.

Too much overuse of the word “tragic” by Thai news. Why is this case tragic?

I am guessing, but perhaps the Republican party is sick of its members being caught as criminal liars just before an election.

Not sure if this is helpful but for many years I have used a fisherman's jacket i.e. one with loads of pockets that I fill with camera and loads of other items. Roll up t-shirts and socks in there. I look like the Michelin man. My carry-on is always underweight and I sometimes have a small bag for my passport and wallet. I saw that Amazon has a full length jacket for airplane passengers that has even more pockets. This might not work in the future when they weigh passengers.
