Several years ago, my car was backed into in the parking lot of a private school in Chiang Mai. My car was only two moths old. The driver of the other car rented a car for me for one week while my car was being repaired. He also apologized profusely and repeatedly.

I live in a spacious house, not a small concrete room or condo. You probably live in a one-room box in Bangkok.

But do you have body odor though? many guys who resist the AC also stink
Do I stink? Absolutely not! I bathe twice a day, and, in fact, I am often told how nice I smell by both women and men. Unlike many foreign males here, I am not overweight and I do not drink copious amounts of alcohol. I also live in a house that I designed with double, insulated walls, high ceilings and an insulated roof.

12 hours ago, Social Media said:Piers Morgan Criticizes Treatment of Trump Amid Hush Money Trial
Piers Morgan, known for his interactions with Donald Trump, has sharply criticized the handling of Trump's New York hush money trial, accusing Americans of "losing their minds" over the former president's treatment. During an appearance on Fox News, Morgan expressed dismay at the perceived demeaning treatment of Trump, particularly during his trial proceedings.
Morgan questioned the effectiveness of the trial, especially for those on the left, suggesting that such actions could potentially bolster Trump's chances in future elections. Trump, facing charges related to falsifying business records concerning a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, maintains his innocence amidst the 34 felony charges brought against him.
The trial's first day saw Judge Juan Merchan navigating issues of evidence admissibility and potential juror biases, with Trump expressing frustration over potential scheduling conflicts, including his son's high school graduation. Despite the judge's non-committal stance on the matter, Trump's concerns were widely reported, drawing attention away from trial proceedings.
In a panel discussion on Fox News's The Five, Morgan criticized the trial as "utterly ridiculous" and accused the prosecution of engaging in "petty, self-harming acts of political suicide." He suggested that Trump should prioritize attending his son's graduation over court appearances, a sentiment echoed by some panelists.
Morgan's stance on the trial reflects broader skepticism about its political motivations and potential impact on public perception. As a vocal supporter of Trump in the past, Morgan's commentary underscores the polarizing nature of the trial and its implications for both Trump and the American political landscape.

Mr. Morgan needs to focus on his own country. Donald Trump is a lying, cheating, bullying, disgusting individual who needs to be put away for all the harm and damage he has caused in The United States of America.

Somehow I don't think that sort are interested in posting on AN, though the posts of some persons certainly provide the mother lode for a psychology thesis.
I'm more interested in the psychology of those on here with TDS and consumed with hatred for a man that they don't know. I mean they are so obsessed with him so much that they just can't stop writing about him, even on threads with absolutely nothing to do with him. I'm sure that sometimes we have entire pages that are solely about Trump. Even the media love Trump as they write so much about him. Sometimes it seems that the only game in media life is writing about Trump. For sure CNN need him given their apparent drop off in viewers after he lost the election.
If I were going to do a study on the psychological aspect of Trump mania, it would be on the use of psychology to try and destroy Trump's image, by the very subtle and clever propaganda that is utilised against him.
Luckily for Trump, he appears to have a very thick skin, or else he really is a narcissist and loves the attention, regardless of for or against. He certainly appears to thrive on it.
Thick skin? Really? He is an immature crybaby and resorts to name-calling and bullying every time anyone says anything about him that his tiny brain considers negative. He is an extremely thin-skinned demented piece of excrement.

So maybe someone can answer for me, hypothetically, if the “powers that be” were to outlaw Het Thop mushrooms, making buying/selling a serious crime, would that have an appreciable effect on our air pollution?
Or is the Het Thop just a scapegoat for other failed policies?
The mushrooms are a small part of the problem, but are blamed by the government so as to not offend a certain large corporation that supports contract farming - growing corn - for their business.

Many things can be true at the same time. No decent Thai man wants a woman with the scent of the sex trade.
Also, farangs are universally a laughing stock among Thai men, they can't believe who we wrestle with.
However, you made a different and more valid point. The arrival of the younger expatriate generation has increased competition for young Thai men. It's not unusual to see middle-class girls dating and marrying stable younger farangs. That is starting to annoy some younger Thai men as their general xenophobia mixes with sexual jealousy. All of these relationships that I am aware of are thriving. One friend has just given birth to her second baby, she lives near The Somme, France. I can't think of any relationships that have broken up but neither do I have a drone pursuing pals across the world.
So, no - Thai men are content to allow farangs wrestle with the sex trade "belle's"
And, yes - they don't like having their better ladies stolen away.
My Thai wife has never been a part of the sex trade. In fact, She has never been in a bar in her life. Most foreign men who are married to Thai women did not meet their wives in bars. To assume so is insulting.

These issues involving foreigners are increacing ever since cannabis became legal. Not to mention the other harsher drugs available in the black market!! (no puns). Allowing the free sale of cannabis has attracted all the junkies from the west to Thailand.
The Brit was DRUNK! He was not high on cannabis, he was drunk on alcohol.

My son has just completed year 3 (Primary) at an English Program school and has a huge pile of course books and work books, both English and Thai. Most have been written in, although some appear to be virtually unused. He'll be getting new books when the new academic year starts in May. I still have his books from P2 as well!
What do most parents do with them? Just dump the whole lot in the bin? Can they be recycled in any way? Keep them for posterity?
Donate them to rural schools. I am sure that you can find a Thai teacher to help you do this. That is what I did with all of my son's books. He graduated from high school in February and we donated the books that were useable (That had not been written in).

Another try at eyeglasses....The gal said she was an Optometrist who spent 5 years at a University in Bangkok. To my surprise she spoke ZERO English, which is shocking to me. If Thai was the international business language, I would speak it fluently. She had all the modern equipment so I felt confident that after 30 minutes of testing, she would be able to at least prepare a decent pair of glasses for the office only. Nope. I arrived today to try on my new eyeglasses that were so substandard I was shocked. Essilor which are my current lenses were purchased in Indonesia for less than half the price. I agreed on some locally made lenses and I was assured they were as good as Essilor. that were not much cheaper and they were so poor they were impossible to accept. 1000baht down the drain. May fly to Singapore to get some.
If you chose to live in Thailand then learn the Thai language.

9 hours ago, Social Media said:Investors in the Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind the Truth Social platform, received a harsh reality check on Monday as the company's financials were unveiled for the first time. The results were far from encouraging, causing shares to plummet by over 15 percent and wiping billions off its market value.
The financial statement revealed that the company reported a net loss of $58 million last year, despite generating just over $4 million in revenue. This dismal performance has cast doubt on the viability of Truth Social as a profitable venture, with the company's price-earnings ratio dipping into negative territory.
Former President Donald Trump, who holds a significant stake in the company, saw his personal wealth take a hit as a result of the stock decline. Trump's stake in Trump Media, which amounts to approximately 57% of all outstanding shares, plummeted from a peak of $6.25 billion to $4.25 billion.
The company's astronomical price-to-sales ratio, significantly higher than that of social media peers like Reddit and Snap, further underscores investors' concerns about its financial health. With a low core user base and struggles to attract major advertisers, it remains uncertain how Truth Social plans to turn its fortunes around and generate meaningful revenue.
While there is a possibility for the company to improve its revenue in the future, it will require a clear and effective strategy that addresses its current challenges. Without significant growth in users and advertiser interest, the company's stock may continue to face downward pressure in the market.
Overall, the disappointing financial results have raised questions about the long-term prospects of Truth Social and its ability to compete in the competitive social media landscape. Investors will be closely watching for any signs of improvement or a shift in strategy from the company's management team in the coming months.

Trump is a very poor business man who is well known for failed businesses and filing bankruptcy.

There are so many people who choose to live in Thailand who enjoy making mountains out of molehills. More than thirty years ago when I still lived in the United States, I managed a very large food and drug store. The store was open 24 hours a day. Much of the restocking was done at night. However, there was still quite a bit that was done during the day. I never had any customer complaints about staff blocking aisles. In fact, customers could always easily find staff on the sales floor if they needed any help. There are many issues that are much more important to address. Relax, calm down and enjoy the time you have left in your life.

No, PM Srettha, the two months of extreme air pollution throughout many regions of Thailand is what is causing huge damage to the country. The pollution seems to get worse and worse each year but the government does nothing to try and correct it. Srettha blamed it on neighboring countries when he was in Chiang Mai a few weeks ago just like he is now blaming neighboring countries for smuggling in marijuana.

The world-wide pandemic of Covid 19 came from the Chinese. Therefore I propose that all Chinese citizens in Thailand and all Thai people of Chinese descent in Thailand be forced to wear masks and a large badge in Chinese, Thai and English that says "Stay away, I am unclean".
