    Murders in Thailand are still lower than in "civilized" countries like the USA. Thais used to tell me that murders here were eith within the same family or between gangs. I have never heard of a drive-by here but admittedly, gangs do hit someone accidentally. https://www.numbeo.com/crime/compare_countries_result.jsp?country1=Thailand&country2=United+States

    I hadn't realized that teacher licenses are divided by gender. I assumed you take an exam and if you pass you are a teacher. It's another issue if a school doesn't want to hire a teacher based on clothing.

    Personally, I have used the same plastic bag for five years. She Who Must Be Obeyed uses a cloth bag and has for many years. Just reuse them.

    She and her husband are good investors. He is a professional. If she bought or sold stock days before an announcement, it would be suspicious, but the article gives one example that "the Pelosis sold 5,000 Microsoft shares for an estimated $2.2 million — just months before the Federal Trade Commission opened an antitrust investigation into the company." Months, not weeks or days in advance. Professional investors are allowed to win.

    Another example of a foreigner who took a very strict diving test back in the west.

    First they want tourist money, then they don't. Weed has been illegal elsewhere for years, yet people still buy it. The legal way means taxing it - to the government's benefit.

    Some ordeal. Poor driver so shocked he had to take a video to watch later that evening.

    I read somewhere years ago that the common complaint about helmets in Thailand is it is too hot for them, whereas group think is the reason they keep masks on. Plus, smiling with a load of lies stuck in your teeth is poor form.

    News is that the Ayatollah was invited to a security WhatsApp meeting and was able to evacuate the targets in time. Whew.

    Seems like she preferred murderers and attempted murderers.

    Don't be surprised if the negotiators keep referring to Taiwan.

    I always thought that German breakfast came in a large glass.

    I think Trump didn't declare war. Neither did Bush. It was a special security operation, as Putin would say.

    Foreigners crashing cars and bikes is a frequent news item. Cracking down on foreigners is always a good idea to prove to Thai drivers that they aren't the only bad drivers. - S.A. R. Chasm

    Now the Americans have joined the war perhaps Thailand will suffer even worse.

    Zig-zag lines are those that mark areas near zebra crossings for example.

    Great. Another know nothing. "Aseem Malhotra is a British cardiologist, health campaigner, and author, whose anti-COVID vaccine and anti-statin views have been criticised as misinformation by experts." - Wikipedia He's a cardiologist and not an expert on viruses. Another example of a bicycle repair guy who says he's an expert on nuclear power.

    No one is surprised it seems that the President's commitment that the Republicans would not start a war, that the President would negotiate peace, would crumple under the Israel flag to start yet another war in the middle east. As the jedi said, The hypocrisy is strong in this one.

    Thais don't like the term Khmer temples. Thai temples in the Khmer style goes down better. But the Khmer empire once covered the entire northeast.

    It would be nice if they had mentioned whether the paying customers equalled the number they had targeted.

    I don't see any link between a democratically elected government and the ability to solve problems. There are democratically elected governments in many Western countries that seem unable to solve their country's problems. Should the PP become the next government, their inexperience may help defy expectations but there is no way that chanting "they were elected by the people" is going to solve the terrible economic problems of today.

    They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs and all those other truths told on the path to the presidency. American nationality, under the U.S. Constitution, was first granted upon the ratification of the Constitution in 1787, with citizenship being recognized retroactively to 1776. That literally means they were not citizens before.

    When the OP knows that Stillwagon is a retired chiropractor and STILL insists he is an expert, what does it say about the OP? https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.9PW8PJ It's just embarrassing. By all means do your own research, but start by looking up biographical information about the"expert".

    Thoughts and prayers for their long term imprisonment. Guns do kill people.
