Thanks

Psst, don't tell anyone but there are two horseracing tracks in Bangkok. Schtum

Why do people get so addicted to alcohol?

Not bashing. It became normal for Thais to screwdriver foreign parts together. I have yet to read of a Thai engineer designing a car. Perhaps you can name the Thai brand.

Seems like the tide maybe going against Chinese EVs elsewhere. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8_kmrzs6ud/?igsh=YnU0cmF1a3kwcnIx

So you don't think working class Thais will suffer most from all the alcohol available? Check out the articles of husband's killing wives while smashed. Then imagine many more drunken husbands.

My only wish is for Labour to save the NHS. Raising taxes on billionaires is fine but too high and the South of France will beckon. Frankly, Starmer is not the PM one could have wished for. Much too flighty. Changes direction with the wind. I noticed that Jeremy Corbyn kept his seat in Islington as an independent so him and Farage will provide Starmer with some very exciting PMQs I am sure.

Yes, but if Taiwan is considered part of China, then it was not an enemy vessel. It would be like a Songkhla ship being stopped at Bangkok Port.

So it is a screwdriver assembly factory and none of the parts are actually made in Thailand. Is that right?

Except for Rutnin, where I had two cataracts removed, I use my nearest hospital for diabetes testing and medicine (pills are paid for by my corporate health insurance). As others mention, there seems to be a thing in Thailand about selling pills at inflated prices for everything. Can't complain about the quality of doctors. When my prostate ballooned, I went to my local hospital and a famous 5 star hospital in town for a second opinion. Both said the same thing, which gives some confidence that I'm not going to pop off soon. More worrying was that I used to know a young man who was doing his medical degree. He could never answer my enthusiastic questions about his studies, telling me, "I took that exam last month and can't remember now."

I hope Labour has planned what to do if they are elected. The last time they went after rich people's money, Elton John and others moved to another country. They will have to allow foreign doctors and nurses in again. There aren't enough Brits qualified to do the work.

He should get into another debate urgently. If his performance is bad again he is out. If it is an improvement, he stays.

Very confusing. If Taiwan is considered part of China (by the Chinese), then it was in domestic water.

This must be a joke. All the major parties are involved in the cheating.

Will they include tourists in this should all day drinking be instituted? Alcohol is a drug, isn't it?

Will encouraging factory workers to get drunk all day will not help the economy that much? The government cannot believe that the tourist numbers are enough to guarantee a lot more income? It will be the Thais who suffer.

More toys for boys. Later, we will discover they can't be flown due to the cost of fuel, the lack of munitions, cost of maintenance and so on. They will look pretty for children's day though. Sad that the government apparently has vast financial resources for this type of purchase but drives the economy into the ground.

Ask how much the hospital charged for the operation.

Fortunately, they are a minority. Getting a PhD in any scientific subject takes a long time and then to become an expert in a field takes longer. I notice those shouting from the rooftops are usually not virologists or vaccine experts. Lots of real scientists who are experts in their field are worried about this minority screaming from the rooftops. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/vaccine-scientist-warns-antiscience-conspiracies-have-become-a-deadly-organized-movement/ https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2023/09/19/deadly-rise-anti-science-book https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02981-z (paid site but the headline says it all)

That's simply untrue. This has been refuted many times. Also, Fauci didn't invent it. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-aids-hiv-fauci-covid-pandemic-833586389602 https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2024/what-is-azt-aaron-rodgers-conspiracy-theory-hiv-aids-drug/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/06/22/no-azt-hasnt-caused-hundreds-of-thousands-of-deaths-fact-check/70321406007/

Sorry, didn't realize you have a research laboratory at home in which to do your own research. Or do you think googling conspiracy websites is "research"?

Whats anything to do with the Democratic Party? This is about court rulings. Stay on topic.

An employer has the right to give employees a choice - do this or that or leave. Did you think employers have no rights?

This is going to upset the government. Cheeky foreigners, doing their maths better that locals.

Driving a vehicle in Thailand is an adventure. We never know what might happen. Keeps the heart beating and senses working overtime.
