  1. Sorry, I was misled by this sentence: The city had previously instructed the owners of these shipwrecks to clear them
  2. Had cataracts in both eyes and those cataracts were removed. They will not do both eyes at the same time so as to avoid the risk of becoming blind if there is an unforeseen problem.
  3. Just ban all Brits for 12 months. Thais have never been against a bit of racism now and then. OR: Invest in education, industry, high tech development and forget the tourists.
  4. Labour ought to win the election but not under Starmer. He is too wishy washy to be a leader.
  5. Well, they did write that the note was taken down inside 24 hours. It is ok to threaten but if your armed forces expansion plan is on the beach in Phuket, I don't have much hope for it.
  6. She would never vote for a Democrat and Trump is the only Republican candidate. Who else is there for her to vote for?
  7. I had both eyes done at Rutnin Eye Hospital, one month apart, for 50,000 per eye, covered by insurance, about 10 years ago and the difference was astounding. From extremely short-sighted to able to drive without glasses made me feel freer than I had ever felt. The mother-in-law went yesterday and the quote was 55,000 Baht for just the one eye. The place is frequented by wealthy people so no reason not to. Highly recommended.
  8. Someone doesn't want them legal so he can sell them illegally and make more profit.
  9. Meloni is kind of to the right on Italian politics. How will she feel about Thai migrants taking jobs and not paying taxes?
  10. Mueang Thong Thani was supposed to be an important satellite town but we rarely hear of it now. It does sound like an act of desperation to to put lipstick on the pig at this late time.
  11. I do hope the court will allow for the fact her husband was a serial philanderer and have some pity on her. There just comes a breaking point in people's lives sometimes.
  12. The Labour Party under Blair was more centrist than it once was, and Starmer is more like "Conservative Mild" rather than left of the left wing of Corbyn. No one in Britain seems to expect much from Labour - they just look more attractive that the Tories.
  13. This survey or review is appreciated. I hope the photos do represent the burgers you will get. Anyway, well done.
  14. Who would be stupid enough to provide photo ID to a porn site?
  15. Someone may wish to clarify - does he have free security provided in the US, a country with a lot more guns that the UK?
  16. Of course, the US would never develop anti satellite weapons. Never.
  17. Airlines all recommend keeping seat belts fastened when seated. Clearly many did not.
  18. While the media can't investigate every Senate applicant, telling the public which ones are linked to the military, have criminal records etc., would allow the public to make its voice heard, whether they can vote or not
  19. Why does this make no sense? He collected garbage for recycling. How he came to owe half a mill is also a surprise
  20. Send like a national security issue. Thank goodness they were caught before violence occurred.
  21. Not sure why the article sparked what appears to be racism but the law was passed and it seems one country broke the law more than others.
  22. Must admit to some sympathy that girls need to do this work due to low education and no social safety net. I realize the temptation of earning more than a receptionist or secretary is an incentive, but I put it down to the need to survive.
  23. Well, they tried to ban alcohol in the US with the 18th constitutional amendment. As a result, crime rose throughout that period, known as Prohibition. Several European nations also introduced prohibition but due to Hollywood, the American version is more famous. After that failure they had to repeal it using the Twenty-first Amendment. It is the only Constitutional amendment ever repealed (that I know of). People use alcohol to help them relax and lower inhibitions, which explains a lot of wild behavior by normally shy Thais.
  24. No worse than shooting kids with an AR-15 I suppose.
