One can sympathize with Thais who find it hard enough to rent land, let alone buy it, not to want farmland, for instance, fall into foreign hands, driving up the price. I see no reason to let foreign individuals buy land as a financial investment. However, selfishly I admit, letting those who are retired here or permanent residents own limited land for residential use would make sense. Being able to live without fear of greedy landlords would bring peace of mind.

If you have the money, and a legal reason to call a retrial, then you ought to go for it. That's why we pay lawyers, to keep us out of jail. On the other hand, become president and pardon yourself on day one.

I wonder if she has an opinion on hermaphrodites? They do exist. Which toilet should they use?

Backroom deals? Really? How about the complete lack of evidence?

Funnily enough, I find using Google a better way of finding old posts on AN/TV than using the site's own search engine.

If it is true that Assange will plead guilty in an American court and will be sentenced to time served in the UK, then he didn't escape. Plus, I am not sure the Americans are trustworthy enough not to incarcerate him for another 20 years once he is on their soil.

Well done.

This is great news for press freedom and human rights. Like others, I am sceptical that the US will let him go once he is in their hands. Just in case anyone doesn't remember what he did, here is the video of an American helicopter killing civilians. https://www.nytimes.com/video/multimedia/1248069533084/collateral-murder.html

As time passes, knowledge changes.

Not sure what Paetongtarn is doing to gain experience. Seems to be an executive without portfolio.

So it should go over 50 before considered abnormal?

You know about his heroin arrest? It is on Wikipedia.

The 10,000 baht giveaway will be spent in a few weeks. How does that help? An increase in the minimum wage will be passed on to consumers as higher prices. How will it help the national economy? Thailand remains last in Asian education so how will high technology companies justify investing here? The government needs long term strategies.

Biden could just talk about facts I guess. Watch Trump get apoplectic.

People will never want to meet aliens that are smarter than them.

I expect more people to say the heat is normal for summer in the face of evidence that it is not normal. Let's see.

He could have just gone to one of those handy free public urinals that Thailand is famous for. Oh, he did.

Biden is only standing because Trump is standing. Replace both.

The same trickery has always played a part in politics here. I see MF being split up and its members moving to other parties.

Just taking the original post at face value, without adding opinion, it was a Bush Republican government that ignored the warning signs of 911 and Clinton's Democratic government that prevented more attacks. In addition, at the cost of stirring up a hornet's nest of AN approbation, it could be said that the Democratic government under Obama found Bin Laden while the Republicans did not.

Historically, vandalism seems to be a way of making a point. Throwing someone else's tea into Boston harbor or burning down the White House were seen as making a point. Defacing national icons during the french revolution also. In all cases, action was taken against vandals, as well as, no doubt, will take place now.

Yeah the digital wallet is the short, medium and long term plan because there is no other plan. Maybe allow foreigners to buy one rai of land for residential use will bring in some billions in cash but 75% of condo ownership? Oh but then the Chinese will own Thailand! Sacre Bleu.

I didn't hear anything about NATO attacking Russia, just the other way around. Could happen but unlikely to.

Does Russia still have sufficient professional soldiers to attack several countries at once? I assume they have to win in Ukraine first or find their armies struck in the back.

Got you to watch and comment pretty effectively, didn't it? The site wasn't permanently damaged. The corn starch was washed off in a few hours. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/stonehenge-visibly-damaged-protest-paint-clean-ready-rock-111272682
