  1. Thanks for sharing, very good photographs. What camera do you use?
  2. Not the first guest in an interview to walk off in the wrong direction.
  3. Reading the whole story it appears the cat had no role other than scratch the cupboard. However, on further inspection it was noted the cat had scratched the numbers 431.
  4. I'm not dead yet! You look dead. I'm feeling much better now.
  5. Wondering if Pheu Thai managed a consensus to allow Thaksin back?
  6. I beg to differ with one point that the Washington Post wrote. "(They) are once again choosing to put their own desire to cling to power over the will of the majority of Thais." I believe they will make way for an elected government but want that government to be right wing not liberal. Depends how you interpret "cling to power". I think they realize they are out. More likely they want a government that sticks to the accepted manner of government: big budget for the military, no touching the highest institution, a disciplined society obeying the whims of the elite and so on. If history is anything to go by, political parties will once again squabble and the military will once again take over. It takes a smarter party than Move Forward to manage Thailand. But one hopes for the best.
  7. Is no one else surprised that so many AN members STILL believe Fox News? The Dominion case wasn't enough to prove Fox lies?
  8. Can you point me in the direction of a photocopy of a bank statement showing a million dollars deposited into Joe's account? Evidence like that would really prove your point.
  9. Rwanda. A good place to keep people without a visa? I guess Thailand could look into it.
  10. I love my car. A work of art. She can plead temporary insanity. I doubt she would hit a kid under other circumstances if she has no record of abuse.
  11. 20 years ago entered Munich airport a 7am and there was a large person drinking beer with breakfast. Surprised then as it was the first time I had seen this. However, after years of Thai Visa then ASEAN now I understand why religious day alcohol bans cause such an uproar.
  12. When I was a kid there was something called “Thai sticks”. I don’t know what else was smoked with the joint but marijuana doesn’t cause more than sleep.
  13. Chicken and egg situation. Was wine 1,000 baht a bottle before tax went up?
  14. Sorry, but the economic experts are saying: "UK expected to be only major economy to shrink in 2023 - IMF". https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64452995 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/imf-recession-germany-uk-gdp-2023-b2272655.html You may want to address those organizations not me.
  15. I cannot imagine what information he has that has not already been submitted.
  16. People are always excited at the prospect of independence - until they get it. Then they come with their hands out.
  17. Even the British parliament in June 2023 says EU is doing better that the UK. "Compared to the pre-pandemic level, UK GDP in Q1 2023 was 0.5% lower. This compares with Eurozone GDP being 2.2% higher than its pre-pandemic level, while US GDP was 5.4% higher." http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN02784/assets/02fe7c88-f93f-4836-a33a-724c022ac762.png https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/#:~:text=Compared to the pre-pandemic,UK GDP growth was 4.1%.
  18. Not sure finding possessing cyanide points to guilt. Unless they can prove it is the same cyanide. Isn't all cyanide the same? Witnesses work better.
  19. If memory serves, the original reasons for the high tax on wine is that it is a luxury product and Thai people don't drink it. Well, not being a French colony that would be understandable, compared to Laos.
  20. Any child must be protected by not revealing their identity. Section 4 of the Child Protection Act defines “Child” means a person whose age is less than 18 years but does not include those who attain majority through marriage." Section 50 of the Act says, " No person shall advertise or disseminate by means of mass media or any other form of information technology the disclosed information in violation of the provisions under paragraph one or paragraph two." We should not photograph children and put those photos in the media without disguising their identity or getting written permission from their parents. There are also defamation laws. One has to assume that using a photo with an article about prostitutes implies the photo is associating her with the story. Your holiday photos may not be a problem, but if you are making money from photos I would be careful. P.S. The Thailand personal data protection act (PDPA) does not specifically use the word photo but does say “Personal Data” means any information relating to a Person, which enables the identification of such Person, whether directly or indirectly, but not including the information of the deceased Persons in particular. I take a photo to mean something that enables identification.
  21. Petulant. Looks like a six year old. Those cashiers may make a mistake and correct it if pointed out so i don't see why the fizzy explosion.
