  1. Most Italian pizzas in Italy are not the same as pizzas from elsewhere. They tend to be plainer.
  2. There have been reports that the top three Hamas leaders live in Quatar in immense luxury with a wealth of 11 billion dollars. Perhaps they should be the main targets. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/qatar-hamas-israel-1.6999416
  3. Maybe they jumped the gun but can file it again very quickly.
  4. Anything that teaches Thais about saving money is good. Putting 50 Baht into an interest bearing account would obviously be better.
  5. So, after all said and done, the Supreme Court says she was not guilty of one charge of abusing power. Perhaps the SC could look at other charges and exonerate her.
  6. An army-backed court can give you any result you need. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asi https://www.dw.com/en/analysts-say-verdict-in-yingluck-case-a-foregone-conclusion/a-18450204a-41410047
  7. Strange. I remember Mark Vejajiva touring the South as prime minister in early 2011 and promising he wouldn't allow this to happen again.
  8. Any charges laid by coup leaders really should be called illegitimate as the result will always be aimed at shutting down the previous democratically elected leaders.
  9. Perhaps go there with several kilos first. You may be able to judge how they react. Taking a Thai along (no matter the fluency of your Thai) is a way of gauging their reaction.
  10. To be frank, even the cheaper rice types would be appreciated when they don’t have enough.
  11. Been arranging for rice to be sent to Duang Prateep Foundation every month since Covid. Rice is always useful for school meals so just go ahead with what you can afford.
  12. As he is a convict I doubt he has many rights, especially if MPs want to inspect his room.
  13. Fewer people will lead to fewer laborers for the rich to exploit. However, if Thais were well educated they could get laborers from other countries to do the grunt work.
  14. The number of westerners is still small compared to the local Chinese. The Chinese effectively colonized Thailand around the start of the Rattanskosin period by being the first to open shops then ensuring a grip on all commerce. I doubt local westerners of Thai nationality are going to start banks and malls here.
  15. It is the only way of getting cars off the streets. Still need more destinations too.
  16. So many times I read about pit bull attacks where the owner later says they don't know what happened and the dogs are big softies, like lambs, wonderful with the kids and so on. The fact they murdered a passer by kind of says something different.
  17. Improve education and start new tech companies, stop relying on fickle tourists.
  18. I am amazed how much money this government is planning to waste. Don't they have advisers to tell them what will happen if the country goes bust?
  19. Hmm, lower household debt by offering more debt? But cheaper than loan sharks, who can be paid off by using these government loans.
  20. They love it when someone gives it a go. I get confused looks sometimes though.
