Isn't that a long time to store dead bodies?

The land bridge has been mooted since time immemorial. Singapore has been whispered to have sunk it in the past and it will die another death if it is seen as able to hurt the Singapore and Myanmar economies. As for green energy, didn't the junta leader go to COP 26 in Scotland, 2021, then return to order six more coal-fired generators? How credible is Thailand? EV manufacturing here will force Thai labor into screwing together car parts while the profits go abroad. It might look good, but not as good as creating Thai brands. MDB (Must Do Better)

Some reporters sure do have a lot of time on their hands. The joke's on them as Bangkok will be flooded by the time they finish and that will be shocking to Bangkokians.

This will become interesting. Having a government declare a group of citizens mentally ill, will real psychiatrists be able to hospitalize this group or will the result be "so what"?

It will be so nice that foreign tourists will be able to snap photos of the Thai submarine just a few feet below the starboard bow.

... have not done anything to help.

Does this just mean the justice system requires a lot of money for innocent-until-proven defendants: or does justice have anything to do with it?

Are they all Burmese or Thai Burmese, because if they are Burmese nationals they can be sent back over the border. Became intrigued how Thai law works when I read: The police intended to visit each residence of the teenage members for questioning and to arrest those found guilty. No court proceedings needed?

It is always fun to read people making stuff up instead of simply looking at long-term scientific data. 100 years of temperature rise is not simply "well, it's summer, duh." It has been tracked and studied over 100 years. The sea level is up because the tide is in? Well, that has been measured over 100 years also. None of this is opinion, these are charts only.

I lot of people focusing on his physical looks without understanding women don't always look for hunks. As the article says, wit, humor, and down-to-earth charm will do it for women. I suppose asking barmaids "how much" doesn't always work.

Thanks, I will take a look this weekend.

I cannot imagine retiring to a rural area. When I visit the in-laws, I am bored out of my head. The older family members start drinking "white whiskey" at 7 am until they sleep. The conversation about "what did you eat this morning/afternoon/evening" is inane as they don't read the news. They also comment on the weather a lot. "Aye, looks like rain later." "Yes, rain for sure." "I agree, rain coming." "Unless it doesn't rain today."

Lots of computer repair shops in Bangkok that can use if for spare parts.

Has anyone ever seen a 500mm mirror reflex lens on sale in Bangkok with a micro four thirds mount? I believe Vivitar makes the lens (but not sure which mount) but nothing I can find in Bangkok. None of the well-known shops like Pix-One, Big Camera etc., seem to sell them. Any help is appreciated.

Have visited a women's prison up north. Looked clean, with a nursery for newborns. However, when chatting to prisoners I discovered the meat was missing from their meals and prison officers carried thick bamboo sticks to teach women to fall to the floor when they walked past. Women were in for 30-40 years on drug offences. This western idiot was lucky.

Fox has been sued and lost a lot of money for lying, so its credibility is questionable.

I don't think the government has ever been interested in why people want to take drugs in the first place. I have read that for some, it is because they have no one to support them emotionally. Basically, drugs take the place of friends. The dealers wouldn't make or sell drugs if there was no demand. Arresting users only results in overcrowded prisons and doesn't solve anything.

Not sure why there are so many suggestions of looking for love/sex in bars. Perhaps look for a social life and/or exercise by joining a club for exercise and to meet others like yourself. Private clubs, like The Royal Bangkok Sports Club and The British Club have activities and sports where you can make friends pretty easily. The British Women's Group (depending on your gender), the Siam Society, Bangkok Community Theatre and many more provide activities that also involve meeting others.

At what age to the oldies on the forum think kids start filling around sexually? The family village had two 11 year olds who were sneaking off for sex constantly. I remember kids that age exploring each other's bodies at that age too.

With Trump's penchant for slander, one wonders if the microphone will actually be on at all.

Economy? Who cares? Employment? Let them eat dirt.

More than a few countries still have lese majeste laws, even those where the President is head of state. Belgium France Germany Iceland Greece The Netherlands Poland Portugal Slovenia Spain Sweden If you mean, which can put you in prison for over a decade, then Thailand is definitely a hub.

Unlike many, she waited for the police instead of fleeing the scene. She also came to an amicable agreement with the owner of that flying car. All very unusual in Thailand. All that was missing was Bruce Willis.

As Buddha went to Nirvana (nothingness) and that was the end of his rebirths, for him to be reborn means the religion is based on a lie.

How is a travel card different from a debit card? 😕
