These exploited little kids are just underage non- paid workers . There is always somebody who provides them with what they sell and collect the money they get . Do not buy from them . If you feel pity , just buy them some decent food . Do not give money .

The times they are a changin ... good !

Didn't know this ... what is illegal ? Relaxing on a beach or drinking alcohol ? Or both ?

Why not just empty them then ?

Terrorist act .

Not a good choice for Palang Pracharath . The country needs new faces , younger politicians , who are able to adapt to a fast changing world ... Those old dinosaurs have proven already that they won't change anything ...

One goes , one comes ... no change , still same same ...

Dangerous to go swimming when the waves are high . Everybody knows this . But some still do , overestimating their physical capabilities . When a strong current pulls you out to the sea , it is better not to fight against it and lose your power , just keep above the water and let it take you away until it becomes weaker . Somebody will ( hopefully ) notice you , even far out ...

Many Thais like guns . If somebody makes them ' lose face ' , they may use them , not thinking about the consequences ... impulsive , ' non thought through ' actions make them and others suffer . Leave them their guns , just like in the US they do not want to lose them . Just do not produce ammunition anymore ...

Just read this on CNN , very funny but true ? https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/30/europe/russia-ukraine-annexation-analysis-intl/index.html > " The days ahead will be febrile enough that this is a question nobody should seek to answer. But we are slowly seeing the gulf between what Russia wants, what it can do and what is actually happening – a gulf it normally filled with fear and threatening rhetoric – being exposed on the world stage. How Moscow reacts will decide the world we live in in the next decades. "<

Any attack on russian territory would eventually provoke a russian nuclear strike ... they made that quite clear ...

The Wuhan wet market was the origin of the first appearance of the virus . It was most likely spread from a slaughtered animal ( pangolin ) . At least that is the official result of the investigation by the WHO .... But the threat of a nuclear war in Europe is another thing ...

Will Putin use Nuclear weapons in the Ukraine or not ? If he does not , he will likely lose the war . Ukrainian soldiers are well motivated and armed . US intelligence is helping them a lot . If Putin does use nukes , it will directly lead to a reaction of the western forces . What will that reaction be ? Counterattack on russian territory ? That would be the start of WW III .

Given Putin's intention to annex part of the Ukraine , it would be a good lesson for him if the Ukraine became a NATO member in record time . If , ever , he decides to use Nukes on Ukraine , it would be a nuclear attack on NATO with all the consequences . Ukraine with all it's valuable resources would be a welcome addition to the EU and Nato .

This species is on the brink of extinction anyway . Completely inoffensive and defenceless it cannot react to the change of the environment . Less seagrass to feed on will only accelerate the decline ... SAD .

That trash that washes up on the beaches is only a small percentage of the trash that is dumped in the ocean by being disposed off in rivers . I listened that chinese researchers invented a new , sustainable kind of plastic that dissolves itself after some time without doing a lot of damage to the ecosystem . That is the way to resolve a looming emergency .

Always better to have some fun with a race where nobody get's hurt . ALL conflicts should be solved in a sportive way without human or other casualties . Let Putin fight personally against Zelensky . Give them a few weeks to prepare for that fight , but accept the outcome ... 55 Circus maximus , like in ancient Rome ... Just a joke ...

Apparently wealthy woman murdered and stuffed in a suitcase that is then thrown in the mekong is a story for a thorough police investigation . May be inspector Clouseau ? But really , sad story , hope they find the killer(s) .

In some way , he is right . Mega projects , once approved and initiated , ( and serving a good cause ) should not be abandoned . There are enough derelict building projects already ...

Like in so many other countries , politicians in Thailand and the public as well , are deeply divided in nearly equal percentage points ( 50/50 ) . If there are elections with a not very clear result , the opposing ( losing ) party will many times deny the outcome and violence may occur . This violence will be suppressed with more violence ( and tricky legal manoeuvres ) by the ruling party . In the end that only deepens the division . May be , the fault is in the system . If there are elections between , let's say , 2 parties , and one of them wins with 51 % of the votes , the other one get's only 49% and loses , there are still 49% of the electorate who should get to take their part in the future government . The government should consist of members of both parties , ( 49 to 51 % ) and decision of that government should be mutual and voted for by the general assembly . That appears to be a fairer system and any frictions between the parties that form this government could be resolved in parliament already . If that does not work , the example of Switzerland by asking the general population to vote for a particular decision of importance , seems to be more democratic .

Does that mean that they will raise the interest rate equivalent to the economic expansion ?

Better rent before buying , it can help you avoid unpleasant surprises ... I know what I'm talking about ...

These days , students have guns . And use them . Better wear a bulletproof vest and your mask when going out ....? Don't look at anybody , because they might not like the way you look at them ...? 55 It's a mad , mad world , we're both in it , may have a lifetime , may have a minute ... ( talking heads )

Home is where the heart is ....

The annual inflation rate in Thailand rose to 7.86% in August 2022 from 7.61% in July and compared with market forecasts of 7.85%. This was the steepest rise in consumer prices since July 2008. If they want to keep up with that , better they follow the US example and rise interest rates to a level that really helps combat the inflation . 1 % is not enough .
