  1. And in another article Thais complained about Chinese imports.
  2. Another warm hearted story on ASEAN Now. Keep it up and we will all learn that not all Thai people are bad.
  3. TBH you can import anything but if people don't buy it then you won't make money. If Chinese products are selling this is just competition. Thailand just hasn't focused on manufacturing, so this is coming back to bite them as China is oriented forward making lots of cheap products
  4. I guess all places that can't make revenue from anything except tourism must feel some regret when their land prices go up.
  5. I honestly don't see much difference. Still tight and brown. Popular with the LGBT crowd.
  6. Really, when people arrive at the legal age to drink, they don't look at the newspaper or Facebook to decide on the beer they want.
  7. Questions will be asked about where he got the money. I suspect he has more. And why would she ask for 800,000 in order just to get home? They may have a relationship. This is a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes. The Monk and the Old Friend.
  8. What is it about Move Forward that it attracts members who cannot think about the possible result of their actions?
  9. I don't see any words on the can saying it is beer. However I would have thought the MP would be able to show his pride in a local product.
  10. Superstition means low education and low critical thinking. Thai Governments encourage it. Keeps the masses quiet.
  11. Chocolate Ville is photogenic and near Bangkok (look on google maps). Also, maybe spend a night at Mustang Blu, near Hualamphong Station. Also very photogenic.
  12. I think the taxman sees anything called "beer" as taxable, alcohol or not.
  13. It would appear that the people who really need the money will still receive it. Not sure what the threshold for an income would be or how insufficient income is calculated, but anyone with a job may not be desperate for the money..
  14. As a previous attempt in 2011 by Yingluck Shinawatra to include her brother in an amnesty ended in tears, I am not sure whether they seriously believe people will welcome moves to bring him back now.
  15. So who will be the republican nominee if Trump goes to prison? Surely it can't be DeSantis by default?
  16. Whatever you pay her she will go to visit her "brother" now and then until you find out he isn't.
  17. Of you own a condo with a spare room you can pay for a carer to stay, I suppose.
  18. Why do the media brand him as a cannabis smoker? He clearly isn't.
  19. Guessing he was caught skateboarding inside the airport and told off.
  20. It looks like Satan has an undeserved bad reputation. He only killed 10 people in the Bible, versus God's 2 million plus. And he only punishes bad people. I can't think who the article means by Satan - maybe Māra?
  21. While not being sold over the counter as many seem to think, it will help some people. I remember that Cary Grant used to take LSD to deal with his issues under the care of a therapist.
  22. This is a global problem as much as a Thai problem. In my example, Polanski is simply the most famous who got away with it. The ones I could find EASILY all relate to 2020-2023.

  23. Just thought i should add, i was told by the people that do our corporate liaison with immigration that if you have a re entry permit recently in the old passport they will add it to the first page of the new passport. Don't ask me why...
  24. Some writers think this sort of thing this is typically a Thai thing. Think Roman Polanski.
  25. Too obvious that there is corruption going on.
