These were on the shelf at Mahidol location, not in catalog

Hillkoff in CM has a few - this one is on their online order site 9500B https://www.hillkoff.shop/

You never realize when saints walk amongst us. Troy Nehls Texas republican, eulogized slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, claiming he would have been Jesus' "13th disciple" if he lived in bible times. That in a congressional subcommittee meeting. Wow.

One has a knife, the other a gun. Just another day in the Land of Smiles

Disney is obviously left wing extremist. Like so much of the media today, it must be purged. DJT & his sycophants will gut everything but FOX news and right wing approved cartoons & movies by the end of year two.

He watched George Clooney movies & Seinfeld reruns?

Cloud seeding doesn't create clouds or rain from dry air.

Oh my, oh no!

Oxford University is a University Oxford Union is a debating Society - NOT the same thing.

As we cannot do anything about guns, let us pray.

I didn't have a conversation, or ask for an explanation, stopped at two different POffices. All they offered to the USA; Air mail tracking or EMS (320 or 1530). I did ask for regular air mail - NOT an option. Tried to mail a couple postcards, not an option either. This may change, but that was yesterday, the 5th.

One last thing before this thread spirals into the dirt You are posting this OP, because you read or watched some MAGA podcaster or vid guy, who happened to read Giles Milton’s White Gold, but, they don’t care about Muslims jihads or slavery & neither do you. They wrote it up, as reparations is a current dog whistle for righties. This was & is taught in US schools, BTW. The Barbary Wars is why the US built a Navy. Why you have High Schools and a city named Decatur (for Stephan Decatur). If the US does not ransom them, or fight, then the US sailors end up in slavery. And that was likely it, because most history in US schools, is about the US, not about the internal economies of Muslim empires, fascinating as that might be. if you didn't study this, or don't remember, then you were in some private religious school with a substandard curriculum, or stoned in the back of the class. From the Halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli; We fight our country's battles In the air, on land, and sea ------> To the shores of Tripoli;

Most people call them Filipinos. Only right wing MAGA types seem to get excited & agitated about the name Negros. However on the off chance some of you read, or can read. I've always thought this book could be used as a template for a kicking novel about Thailand. There are disturbing similarities. Cheers

Loan sharks at the Crib?!

Translation: As of 0100 September 3, 2025 ECT zone USA, nothing.

Among the historically illiterate, like the US today. However you might consider reparations to who. You mean the countries they were taken from as their descendants re dead or (forcibly) converted to Islam. However it is just Tuesday, you should get that worked out by the end of the week. BTW if you are interested, doubt you are, I have some nice pics from 2019, of one of the last orthodox church's in operation in Istanbul. A country that massacred & ethnically cleared over a third of their population (their Christian population), between the 1890's & 1922 (plus that 56 pogrom). That after a thousand years of slave raiding & slaughter.

You think that all Thais from 8 to 80 don't know this? Have always known this. Say what you want about the T man he did throw scraps to his followers which is MORE than any other party or ruling green group ever did. Frankly I am constantly amazed that expats seem unable to grasp this basic simple fact. Now after judicial coups against the move forward party or whatever its name is, then knocking off the shins last gasp .... the thai people have absolutely nothing left. No scraps nothing. Lets hope they don't get torqued up like what is happening in Indonesia, cause then us pats in patistan might have to up sticks and move. Cheers

Getting in touch with your inner (white) victimhood this morning?! Have FOX on the flatscreen with your morning coffee do ya. Cheers

One persons experience. The Thai Post Office next to the IO office at Central Festival CM on Friday August 22. The return pre printed envelope to PO Box 7162 was not accepted. Maybe it was first day & If they do (start) to accept them, great. I will wait for more posters to confirm. Surprisingly I have a Fed Ex office nearby. I was going to give it a couple weeks and use them if all else had failed & not to the PI. Had a bad experience with the PI office years back.

I stopped by an agent, one mentioned in this OP. 5900 baht quote- That for getting me to the IO officer. My docs are not an issue. However they said it would take an hour. 😐. That is just enough for me to pack toys, grab the T-Raks tablet, loaded with footie & cartoons. Another half day & numb butt cheeks coming up. Woohoo!

Does anyone use an online company to order beverage? I looked long ago, but prices were more expensive than at the ChineseThai liquor shops or western style markets and the selection meh. Still ... I find I am drinking less, yet will pay more for quality as I get on in years. The only one I have listed on my bookmarks is Cheerz. Any others I should be looking at? Interested in spirits, not beer or wine. Thanks

That wasn't such a chore now was it?! Create a border incident. The standing PM makes a phone call to the Cambodian leader. Tape it. Release it. Make sure ultra nationalists and yellows get a group howl going. Spotlight coverage by your allies media. Have the court perform a judicial coup, which they have done repeatedly in the past - 2014 for sure, but my favorite was PM Samak who hosted four, yep FOUR televised cooking shows! The Horror . He received 10K baht or so for ingredients and transport. The Evil. Unfortunately innocent Thais (and Cambodians) were killed & wounded. However they were not, uh, 'important people' anyway so. When you add it up, wasn't it all for the greater good?! BTW with Anutin being handed the keys, I can have a Dark & Stormy on my balcony, light up a spliff, without worry about medical clearances. It's all good.

Here we go again. Another judicial coup. Ok, no one likes the Shins but now what? Back to gang green or whoever they give the reins too. Anutin or ? Deja vu, it's 2014 all over again & looking at another decade of stagnation.
