  1. My MBA at Sasin was strictly in English, but it doesn't include course in liberal arts subjects like creative writing. Mind you, I wouldn't mind doing another degree in creative writing.
  2. Not one single person said they would buy alcohol and get blasted for a few days.
  3. Reading the Bible usually means cherry picking the bits where God looks good, or has a reason for something bad. If they taught children the segments that are unappetizing they would at least become atheist. Anyone who claims to admire and worship the biblical God has either abandoned all sense of moral judgment or has never actually read the Old Testament.
  4. Presumably you did "your own research" using Google?
  5. I don't know where these men find pleasure in hearing their women cry.
  6. Time for the two year prison sentences?
  7. Put floats on it and deliver food to flooded villages.
  8. The Ministry of Education is the most corrupt ministry in the country. How is anyone going to believe they will distribute millions of baht fairly?
  9. While I fully understand the need for Fema to use government money to help, I am surprised the right hasn't cried Socialism.
  10. One often sees people saying, "Do your own research" and think, if you were right then apply for your PhD. The fact is, there are people who think they can guess the truth without having a real qualification.
  11. Cash is easy to carry and can't be hacked. Pick pocketed maybe. Too many news stories about hacked accounts on google. Thai banks have a reputation for denying responsibility .
  12. Typical Daily Telegraph fear-mongering. Can't find facts? Make stuff up.
  13. Cop 1: Look, there's an empty car at the side of the road! Cop 2: Quick, shoot the black guy over there! Racism in the US is so bad.
  14. He is pulling in companies along Soi 23 to pay for the project. I doubt they will pay for everything, just the area close to their buildings.
  15. Wondering who the audience will be. Tourists? Not enough to make money. Local farmers? No money. Expats? Keep saying the pension isn't enough so doubt they'll waste it on expensive tickets.
  16. I thought that was already common in Thailand? Legalization would mean the authorities would have to keep a closer watch in order to get their tax money.
  17. Every week while cycling, someone stops dead in front of me or does a U-turn on the one-way track. Last week I just missed banging into the back of a high school girl who just stopped suddenly in the middle. I told her she was an idiot, and her friend said, "Why did you call her an idiot?" That's why they will die faster than most.
  18. Republicans said Barak Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden were coming for their guns. Why believe Harris will?
  19. Simply put, you didn't drive through a red light but entered the intersection while the light was green/amber and could not exit. when it turned red. You need to wait for the exit to be clear before moving.
  20. The amount of radiation could cause lots of health issues after return from Mars. Radiation and long weightlessness are big problems.
  21. There are illegal drugs, human trafficking, trade in endangered species, human organs, antiquities, and stolen goods and an underground lottery for example. The underground train doesn't count.
  22. I don't think it is easy for Thai women. Having said that, I took my better half to Peru a few years ago and as we had to change planes in the USA, and stay in the airport, she needed a visa. Apparently, the US airports are easy to walk out of even if you are a transit passenger. She had a copy of our marriage certificate, and I wrote a letter for her to show the interviewer at the embassy that while she is a housewife I guaranteed her insurance and any costs. She also had an onward air ticket to show (and return to Thailand). It was all very quick. Let her take along all the documents that others here have suggested and tell her there is no need to be nervous. The staff are very friendly.
  23. Probably fatal beatings by the headmaster.
  24. Sondhi is a man inflamed with jealousy. He tried to bid for a satellite concession years ago and lost to Thaksin. He just bears a grudge that Thaksin proved more successful and hasn't stopped to think if his actions are best for the country.
