  1. I remember watching the educational video in English when renewing my licence many years ago and thinking the Thai traffic laws are almost exactly the same as those in the West. It was a long time ago but was a big surprise. Nowadays I watch the Thai language video and see all the people in the room looking at their phones throughout.
  2. An old, hugely obese man like this might have been visiting European hospitals where healthcare is a step or two better than Thailand. He might have been sorting out his foreign income with the new global tax regime in mind. I just can't (don't want to) imagine him in a thong on the French Riviera. Anything but that.
  3. Nice to see intellectual debate about the politics in a country other than the U.S. and the U.K. for a change.
  4. People never define what they mean by traditional values. Could mean anything. What these religious people forget is the original values of Jesus would now be called hard-line Communist before Marx even wrote about it. - gave away free bread and fish to all - said rich people will not go to heaven (camel, eye of needle etc.) - physically assaulted money lenders (bankers) for charging interest
  5. I don't suppose a murderer will ever admit to his murders unless on his deathbed and fearing hell.
  6. If Trump doesn't want people to vote for him via mail then why argue?
  7. So, why do they want cheaper drugs?
  8. Obviously the price is higher within the EU.
  9. They probably can't get anyone to produce for the domestic market due to the small size of the Danish market. Sourcing for low cost medicine from abroad doesn't mean the quality will decline as they would usually have a domestic FDA type of organization to approve medicines after checking them.
  10. Thanks. It appears that since December 2020, Thailand had manipulated its currency. However, they were supposed to manipulate it to be weaker so I guess you are right - unsuccessful manipulation.
  11. I haven't seen evidence that the BOT is manipulating the Baht. What it's not doing is bowing down to government orders.
  12. Crime is down 17%. https://www.denver7.com/news/local-news/trump-claimed-cities-like-aurora-are-seeing-the-highest-level-of-criminality-heres-what-the-data-shows
  13. The first world war dragged men off to be killed and women took their places in the ammunition and weapons factories. This led to women demanding the vote. The second world war did the same and women learned they didn't need men to take care of them financially. If a woman can take care of herself why marry?
  14. Wait a gold darned minute hoss. How many pedo priests went to prison?
  15. How about rounding up all the Thai prostitutes? Or would that hurt the world class economy?
  16. I suppose they did buy the booze from someone who made money but probably doesn't pay tax.
  17. Thailand shoots self in the foot regularly. The poor PM left clueless.
  18. End poverty in two years? I have a bridge in London you can buy ma'am.
  19. Let me see if I got this right. He peed into the canal then fell into the pee. Is that right?
  20. Guns? In a school? In some countries maybe. I wonder how he has kept his job so long.
  21. The video clip showed Biden as clear, to the point, and coherent plus with a sense of humour.
  22. So, it sounds like they are saying the smart kids who study hard will end up wearing glasses?
  23. Famous last words? Does it compensate for heavy crosswinds? Flocks of birds?
  24. As I said to her indoors, what's the point of having a sports car if you cant do 160 now and then? I do use an app to warn of speed cameras, but can't always slow down in time...
  25. But how many years until this was usable by individuals?
