  1. Several news items recently claiming that: - Jesus never existed - Virgin birth never happened - Died and resurected from the dead has no basis in fact whatever. And over many years the claims that Jesus, god, the bible all very negative about gay folks / gay activities (and other items) are not mentioned anywhere in the bible. My bible/idol is my nightly can of Chang, brings me great pleasure and I can see the evidence.
  2. Just wondering whether this involved the military brotherhood across the 2 countries. I guess others noticed the short video a month back of prayut rushing to greet and give a long hug to the nasty violent vicious military leader/dictator runnng myanmar.
  3. Point taken however there's levels of acceptance and there's levels of how much to expect another society to accept.
  4. OK, but they have no right whatever to transport their culture, it's values and behaviors into another society and expect or demand that the 'other society accept their values and behaviors.
  5. I I agree for me fine Chinese tea is very tasty. But I'm not a strong black tea fan. The photo you added is green tea, I stayed many times at the Imperial New World hotel in Shanghai, an example of fine world class 5 star hotel service. Just around the corner was a Chinese tea market / mall with many excellent teas and always a tea ceremony tasting.
  6. Does the PM or the wife of the PM speak English?
  7. That doesn't make it acceptabe and doesn't make it OK, not at all!
  8. "Money no object for them." Often enough no manners. 5 star hotel in Chiang Mai ceters to 4 / 5 day Indian weddings, lots of wealth indian guests/families stay same hotel. Hotel staff treated like shxx, many instances of no manners / baic politeness from rich Indian women dripping in expensive jewelry, several cases of indian women slapping faces of Thai room maids.
  9. I've flown many times Thailand (BKK and CM) to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to lecture at VN unis. Maybe 20 flights. Seen plenty of Thai passengers being demanding. Worst was a few years back. Thai lady said in English to the pleasant Viet Jet hostess "I will sit down if you can guarantee this aircraft is safe". Her Thai female companion then said "Do Viet Jet pilots have a pilots license". They spoke loudly, no doubt looking for attention, many other Thai passengers booed them. On all the VJ flights I've taken never once had any negative experiences, VJ staff always pleasant, polite and helpful.
  10. Take a few TG flights, especially 10 -20 years ago and see how much help you don't get from cabin crew, especially if Thai and more especially if the passenger has Essan features.
  11. Already reported; the bag in question was 7 kilos, not that heavy.
  12. And to correct one point, my Thai son and his wife regularly give to beggars and often buy food in plastic bags to give to beggers. Also to give to 2 little girls always selling flower garlands at a big intersection not far from our house.
  13. And inside the campus of the Uni of Texas at Austin. Beggar was in fact a local, a redundant science professor.
  14. Best you go to another country, do you need help, I will prepay the taxi fare to the airport if you can prove you have a onw way ticket to leave.
  15. "(in typical Thai fashion)" How does that fit into this story?
  16. Depends. His real focus is revenue from property development and sales. I rather doubt he cares who buys or what that means for Thai culture etc. But maybe it old mean he reduces the red tape for foreigners to buy.
  17. Was he in handcuffs? Did he abuse the camera person? Did he give a rant about witch hunts? Did he claim that Joe biden is worse then him? Did ...
  18. Seems that if the person died of a cause/disease that is under serious research then they will often take the body. But that's special circumstances.
  19. My Thai granddaughter shared that it's getting massive negative discussion at her uni. She's off to a protest after lunch today.
  20. Major general, so eligible to be the next police commissioner - the big chief. Nice.
  21. You missed the obvious point, try again.
  22. Really. -You sure they are paid? Why would they be paid when there's plenty of very geuine protestors who are protesting for vey valid reasons. -You can assess their intelligence by looking at them? Wow, so clever.
  23. Not confusing, grow up.
