Unfortunately, the LibDems offer nothing as an alternative, though picking up local seats wont mean they will ever be the government.

Thai masseurs to help them get it up. Saudi masseurs to chop it off?

I am sure Thais will be happy to get 10,000 baht each. But realizing that's the only free handout they will get, they will not vote for PT again.

This is about Thai domestic migration. I know they have to give a registered address for electoral purposes but commuting to work isn't about migration.

I blame the migration of westerners who told Africans how great they were.

He could have turned up at the Congress hearing and just pleaded the 5th for every question.

With no journalist or business background, I look forward to his role in self censoring the independence of the Post.

This could be worrying for evangelicals. "Do these aliens believe in God?" "No." " So they are heathens that we should conquer?" " No. They laugh at us as we would monkeys." " So why don't we go out there and convert them?" " We don't know how to go faster than light."

I am sure he just needed some exercise so a walk into Burma would help his sore neck.

Good luck to them. When they meet a problem they can claim their Constitutional rights.

I have been informed that, while the major cities have waste collection agencies, the rural areas often do not have anyone collecting waste so farmers collect it and bury it or burn it. My organization once offered to donate waste bins to Watthana district so that Sukhumvit would have one every 50 meters within their district. They politely declined, explaining that it would create a worse problem as Thais would throw waste in the general direction of the bins, not in them, thus exacerbating the problem. I was also informed that they could not collect waste several times a day as it would cause traffic jams.

Can anyone remember how many things he has promised to do "on day one"?

Western rice buyers should be aware that Thailand thinks 10 year old stock is safe. Sooner out later it will be mixed into what they sell to foreigners.

I often wonder the reason why people get addicted to drugs (sorry, no personal experience), and how they can afford drugs. A former heroin addict told me the feeling was very blissful and better than Hollywood movies made out, but yaba is hard to understand.

Funnily enough, the idea of creating Israel was only tentatively agreed by the UK. The USA was the first to recognize the new country. The Jewish terrorists (yes they were wanted terrorists) at that time included a future prime minister, Menachem Begin. You may remember the King David's hotel bombing. UK foreign minister Balfour stated they were in favor of an Israel state as long as other occupants of the area were treated well. "Nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine". Oh well.

The perfect U.S. presidential candidate.

When a good story turns bad, sigh.

It's almost as if someone involved in the black market trade in cannabis has ordered the PM to change the law back. Oh well. I can imagine the economic advisors saying: The economy is terrible, the 10,000 Baht giveaway is going to hit us hard and debt has gone through the roof. What shall we do? PM: Create more unemployment and more debt!

There appears be an assumption by some that wine is mainly for expats and western tourists, but there are many Thais who also enjoy wine. Many the time have Thai friends driven into Laos to purchase French wine cheaper than Thailand and brought a few cases back to enjoy. One Thai General, Sunthorn Kongsompong, even owned a vineyard in France due to his appreciation for the stuff.

Those who advised having one will for Thailand and a will for overseas appear inline with local legal advice. Whatever you do, don't spend it before you die. Imagine - spent all your money by 85 but still alive at 90.

Large corporations have ignored global climate change for profits. Many sneer at Greta Thurnberg's protests. But she is right. Old people have destroyed the future of the young.

Always looking at the symptoms not the cause. The finance minister cannot raise the education standards in a year or two and an educated workforce is essential to economic growth. Factory workers and rice growers will not help the economy to rise

This is such an incompetent government.

Are Chinese EVs really that cheap? Many stories now are that China sells its EVs abroad at double the price they sell for in China. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/why-byds-ev-exports-sell-twice-china-price-2024-04-26/ https://cleantechnica.com/2024/04/30/prices-of-some-byd-cars-in-export-markets-are-double-or-triple-prices-in-china/

The video is interesting and I noticed the examples of criminality referred to Trump, Nixon and Agnew only - three Republicans. My question is, why are the people being slandered not suing Trump for defamation? After all, the evidence is on TV every day.
