  1. Have they asked permission from Thaksin or Prawit?
  2. An insurgency implies an armed force with finding from abroad. If the offenders are Thai it would be an insurrection. In the past the Chinese supplied weapons to local Thais. So which is it, insurrection or insurgency?
  3. If the woman is Thai and wrote in Thai on her social media media post, it means foreign tourists dodged a bullet and will not be showing up in droves. Whew.
  4. People laughed at the early Japanese cars. The first one in my street was all chrome (yuck). Now their cars are number one for reliability. It was inevitable that China would catch up.
  5. Looking forward to seeing what happens, but without a knowledgeable opinion myself. Being a former President, and with the leniency shown to Trump to date (no handcuffs, chains or other treatment usually given to offenders), would he be imprisoned or given a suspended sentence? I have seen presidents jailed in those infamous "sh*thole countries" he denigrates but not the USA - to date. Any legal beagles want to give an informed opinion?
  6. Nice to hear they didn't hit him. If he is suicidal he will try again and the usual suspects at AN will raise a cheer.
  7. If people continue to protest against Thaksin's lenient treatment out of a perfect excuse for the military to intervene and dissolve Parliament.
  8. The room with my guitars and computers is getting cluttered and I want to hang the two electric guitars (including one really heavy Gibson, and one acoustic guitar on a wall to get them off the floor and out of the way and yet close at hand to use whenever the mood takes me. The big problem is, I understand that the walls are not made of bricks but of breeze blocks, which are perhaps a bit weaker. I really don't know. My questions are, does anyone have experience in hanging guitars on a wall made of breeze blocks, and which brand of guitar hooks are especially good for this? Is there any other way of doing it? Thanks in advance. Example taken from the web.
  9. Assassination in the US historically was done by individuals. I doubt any political entity would consider it. Yes, Trump could win an election as he doesn't need the greatest number of votes (aka the popular vote) just enough to win the electoral college.
  10. I have encouraged my Thai staff to use it to correct the grammar and spelling in their emails and documents before sending. It has worked well, and their written English has markedly improved. A lot better now than native speakers who confuse your and you're, lose and loose.
  11. <Sob!> Brave Thaksin, sacrificing his health to help form a government to serve the people while his sister carries on her business in London where Thai criminality has no meaning.
  12. A good strategy. Keep Thais low educated and dumb while using AI to do the smart work cheaper.
  13. I clearly remember a high ranking policemen several years ago stating that videoing a policeman doing his job is perfectly legal as long as it didn't interfere with his work.. Something must have changed.
  14. Knew him years ago and he was a creep back then. Just too cocksure his daddy would always get him out of trouble.
  15. A pity some snide commentators can't take this at face value. There are good policemen in Thailand.
  16. If a medical professional suggests wearing a mask, no problem if you are over 65 and don't want to. When the ambulance arrives tell them to go away as is your right.
  17. As a former PM overthrown by a military coup and subject to a sentence to keep him away I would have thought he would arrive with some dignity, but hovering over the airport waiting for his friends to win and help him escape prison is asking too much.
  18. The other prisoners are probably helping to clean his room. Using toothbrushes probably means they might not make the deadline.
