  1. Is there an equivalent for alcohol use? Asking for many friends.
  2. The sneezing part was a reference to the fact that anything and everything is labelled an act of antisemitic terror by Israel - and that's before any sort of investigation has even begun. Could it have been a robbery, plain and simple? Is that UN ambassador (or we, as it were) judge, jury and all the rest? That's not how legal systems work - all I'm saying.
  3. Quoting the UN ambassador, who immediately pivots the crime to antisemitic terror, as the original article said.
  4. "Sorry, I sneezed" "That's an act of antisemitic terror"
  5. I could have sworn that this Police Chief Pol. Gen. is human.
  6. Going at a slow-ish 60 km/h, in two seconds, the car has crossed 33 meters.
  7. Could that maybe be a good enough reason for not driving at all? Just saying.
  8. Some mobiles (camera settings) flip the stored image of selfies - i.e. your right eye is now on the left-hand side. A mirror doesn't do that. Makes quite a bit of a difference.
  9. And of course, as always, there is reliable information that that is the case. Thailand tried to negociate with third-party countries regarding relocation of the Uyghurs, as an alternative to sending them back to China. There hasn't been a country that would have taken the Uyghurs - whatever that tells us.
  10. Daily Mail - the source for unpolluted truth and straight recounting of facts.
  11. What are "permissible limits"? I wonder if those would apply to an open-air karaoke restaurant/bar in the middle of otherwise quiet non-entertainment buildings on Pratamnak? The owner seems to be the main guest, and the speakers are rock concert grade - as is the noise, somtimes until 1 a.m.
  12. Now there's a good Monday morning laugh: Starmer to the defense of British tabloids.
  13. I would strongly advise to watch this guy here, and what he has to say. As long as there are no clear instructions from the Thai tax authorities, having someone talk about what's not set in any way (by the proper authorities) makes little sense...!
  14. While some fraudsters use these prefixes, they are not by default fraudulent, but used by state-owned telecoms (e.g. Germany, Switzerland - that I know of) to route calls to Thailand through SIP/VoIP. SIP is a key part of Voice over IP (VoIP), which is the term for phone calls made over the internet. That's in fact fraudulent in itself, as they charge for a normal international call, and get away real cheap... At the same time, Thailands national bank wants banks to set the maximum amount for transfers to THB 50k for young and elderly people. What a great idea: not all of us are babies or dement, so it should be that we should be able to decide on maximum amounts. Not nanny.
  15. Tell me: which "human rights NGO" scripted that once again? Everyone (and her sister) are in this business well knowing what it's all about. They're in it for the money. If they weren't aware of what the reality of it is, they'd be working as cleaning women or factory workers, and making a bare fraction of what they're making in this "harsh reality" in Pattaya, and lots of other places in the country. Everything else: delivered as ordered. A transformation from a idyllic village to a metropolitan hotspot is never painless, anywhere, and takes a lot of urban planning and inter-departemental communication (so that roads aren't cut open for long stretches during high season, among many other things). Where's city hall and/or trafic police when baht taxis can't be bothered to pull left, out of the trafic, to let cars pass while loading/unloading passengers? Or pick-ups double parking in neuralgic spots? I could go on for hours. But hey, we have vulnerable individuals to worry about, so the rest isn't really a biggie, is it now?
