I am not an American so have no axe to grind either way but it astounds me how so many Americans didnt understand that their country under the Biden/Harris administration was sliding into poverty!! Do they walk around with blinkers on not seeing the demise of a once great nation? For the world's largest economy their food culture is the disgrace of the world and the old saying of "we are what we eat" is so evident in the USA with so many obese unhealthy people. But the chosen few reaping huge profits from GMO food, the FDA and Big Pharma along with the medical institutions are happy to keep filling their greedy evil pockets at the peril of their nation and people! I dont see how the same nation could legitimately elect people like Biden & Harris to run their country and to be so stupidly naive to for 1 minute believe that Harris could lead the country after a disastrous 4 years at the helm! Obviously the number of votes counted in the swing states was far to great to manipulate the outcome so lets hope the Trump/Vance admin can end these current global conflicts sooner rather than later, get their food chain and medical institutions back on track and the US can hold its head up as a responsible super power.

precisely!!

We the public get told so many lies and in many instances the main stream media is the biggest distorter of the truth, especially when it comes to politics & money. However I am sure the Harris campaign gobbled up a huge amount of money that has a questionable distribution chain, remember the BLM scenario! I guess choosing Harris was like backing a draft horse in a sprint race and if she is the best candidate the democrats can offer then fortunately for Americans the Republicans won!

Very obviously they knew he had crypto so the assailants were most likely known by the victim!!!

Many Thais that moved abroad mainly for marriage gain PR status and are quite happy to do so. If their children are born abroad most countries recognise this and they can easily apply for PR, Its about time Thailand moved on from the last century and had some reciprocal laws without the interference of small minded individuals with overly nationalistic views !!!

I first visited Phuket in 1988 and it truly was then a magnificent destination, I rented a Suzuki 4wd and drove myself and a couple of Austrian ladies that I met the day of my arrival around the island for the next 10 days. We had a ball and those ladies both cried when I departed 10 days later saying it was such a wonderful place to visit and they had enjoyed every minute of their stay. Bangla road was really very quaint with half a dozen bars and about as many restaurants. I returned 25 years later and couldn't believe my eyes or how the very nature of what Phuket was had deteriorated. I blame the governor's of the island for allowing it to become what it has, however these taxi Mafia are also on Ko Samui so not just a problem in Phuket and with the same lack of action from the authorities!

Did he really kick her or was it a nudge to move her on? Why did she return after apologising on the first encounter, also the court initially found in his favour! If he did in fact actually kick her then he should pay the price of assault but somehow I believe there is more to this story! It does seem that he is an angry man if the reporting is factual but again we know how inaccurate & misleading reporting in Thailand can be. We also know the brown envelope scenario!!!

It amazes me how blindly naïve a population can be, Biden is a dottery old man unfit to hold the position and his current VP despite not being old is no better choice, maybe worse! She has changed many of the Dems policies just to get elected and once in office it will be back to the status quo and the US will sink further than it already has!!

Maybe not quite the appropriate place for scantily clad ladies to be dancing but it looked like harmless fun to me! I guess the Police had to issue the reprimand statement regarding the incident but I bet underneath they were smiling and why not.

There are many cost effective ways for providing simple basic ammenities, if Thailand wants foreign tourists that spend then provide the basic's otherwise the streets and beaches will be covered in litter, garbage and urine which is already a problem! If thats the way Thai's want to live so be it, quality tourist numbers will eventually decline, Chinese & Indian's will feel quite at home given similar scenarios in their home countries & the Thai people will be the looser's

If he didnt stop to assist the person he just skittled he will more than likely have done a runner!! Again an indication of Thailands driving standards and the authorities total inadequate response to these situations are the real reason the standards here are so poor!

Quite honestly where are they supposed to urinate given that there are most likely no public toilets in the area. Thailand wants tourism but lacks foresight in providing public ammenities like toilets and garbage bins. This is an ongoing problem all over Thailand and the government keeps talking about promoting tourism yet has no idea about providing the ammenities needed to service the people/tourists!

So you feel the current drivers licence test is adequate do you?? and enforcement is what I posted!!! And the fact that the bus owner was able to substitute the correct gas bottles without compliance !!!

Thailands road fatalities is an indication of the authorities lack of enforcing the laws of Thailand and changing the laws to be in line with modern day standards starting with the Thai driving licence tests, public motor vehicle inspections and road safety standards. The driving standards in Thailand are attrocious to say the least and the law is constantly disregarded by vehicle owners and drivers themselves. Its in your face every time you drive down the road and the police in 95% of the time do zero!!! Drivers need proper driving education, testing stations need to adhere to & enforce the correct standards & Thai road law enforcement need to get off their backsides and enforce the laws! The recent bus tragedy is just an indication of the poor level of ethics, morals and intelligence of both the vehicle owner and the driver!

How many people in Thailand eat Vegemite ??????
