Report Tragedy Strikes: UK Man Passes in Thailand, Baby Born Days Later
Purdey replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I find it difficult to believe he could not find a muay Thai gym near his home. There are a few in Lancashire. Yes, Thailand is the home of Muay Thai but there are great practitioners all over the world so why leave his wife to give birth alone?- 80 replies

Things thai people do that make no sense
Purdey replied to angryguy's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Might as well start a thread on what westerners do that don't make sense. Share a room with a stranger in university. Having gaps in bathroom stall doors that are way too big. Sales tax not being added to an item until you get to the till. It is easy to laugh at others, but harder to try to understand. -
Politics Thai Politicians Allegedly Hold Secret Bank Accounts in Cambodia

With Cambodian interest rates at 0.77%, those politicians are hoping for anonymity because they certainly will not be able to save much. -
Economy Trump Dishes Out 36% Tariffs in Shock Move Against Thailand
Purdey replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
When a friend turns against you, perhaps the alternative to fighting is to ignore and look for new friends. Looking at the BRICS countries seems a rational strategy. Even though Trump said he will punish countries that try to replace the USA with BRICS (another friendly gesture). Certainly, less reliance on the dollar would open up markets to trade in more currencies. Risk management professionals usually point out that putting too many eggs in one basket is dangerous. -

So Thailand imports roughly $1.7 billion from the USA. The USA imports roughly $63.3 billion from Thailand. How could Thailand increase its imports to parity with the USA when it has a populati9n of 70m while the USA has a population of 350 million? Especially when their demand is different. -

Perhaps Carabao could write a song about it. -
In principle, she is a first hand witness and could probably review a list from memory. What does it matter who tells the truth?

Has anyone bothered to talk to Ghislaine Maxwell? She's in prison and could get some time off if she cooperates with the police. On the other hand, some visits from a journalist to elicit the truth could help expose the dirty men that took advantage of her service. Would she be found dead in her cell later? Not if she recorded and signed an affidavit first.

Maybe cut the military budget as Mr. T is a man of peace.

Report Thailand's Military Aims for Reform Amid Political Unrest
Purdey replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Of course, if a coup is necessary, when the army is put into a corner and is given no choice, they have to step in to save the country. No servants for senior officers? Then you leave them no choice. 😳 -
