Many planes were grounded for extended periods during covid and not flying. A lot of cargo space in passenger planes is used for mail and other items that need fast delivery.

"Watership Down" From the article ... "The BBFC continues to receive "one or two complaints" each year over its content, which includes scenes of rabbits fighting, being throttled and gasping for air." So because of one or two snowflake idiots (or trolls) classic movies are now deemed inappropriate for children. Just wait till they get their hands on all the old cartoons such as Bugs Bunny who is constantly being attacked by that violent Elmer Fudd, Tom and Jerry always fighting and getting the cat's face blown up, The Roadrunner and the Coyote with far too many violent scenes to mention here, Popeye and his spinach enhanced punches, and many more children's favorites from yesteryear. All must be reclassified to 18+. Think of the children!

"woke" is the new derogatory swear word.

I agree. There are about 50 bicycles parked outside the Huai Khwang MRT station every day. There is a special security area for them near the station entrance.

Mistake #1 made by the German.... argue with a local Thai. Mistake #2 made by the German.... escalate into a fistfight

Too hot usually to wear pants in Bangkok. At home I usually wear boxer shorts and my wife wears her short shorts or undies. I am happy with our arrangement.

That dog is ugly as <deleted>. If it is so safe and wonderful, then why is it in a strong cage and restrained in a heavy leather harness? My dog (not pit-bull) can roam free quite safely even when visitors are at our home. No harnesses or cages required. I wonder how long before you are in the news regarding a dog attack.

In 2004 I finally a very early retirement from work. Later that year my then wife and I made our first trip to Japan for a few weeks as a reward for hosting a few dozen Japanese students over the years. This trip led to my love of Asia and later S.E. Asia including Thailand. Other than that, just living a normal domestic life in Australia.

I have a one bedroom apartment that I rent out in Melbourne Australia and the rent I pay for my Bangkok one bedroom is about 75% of the rent I receive for my apartment. Local prices are already close to Melbourne prices at least for that example. Maybe I should increase the rent I receive..

I think it is part of their mental illness believing they will never get caught and the kids under their control will never tell. A person would have to be crazy to commit crimes against multiple victims in a location where they are well known thinking they can get away with it. I am surprised his run lasted 7 months.

What spells can this magic mushroom cast? I bet the British guy wished it could cast a Greater Cloak of Invisibility when the cops arrived.

When I returned to Melbourne last August there was an hour delay with passport processing for arrivals. No idea why the unusual delay but it happens in countries other than Thailand as well.

This would look even better if her hair was long down to her waist. I might see if I can convince my wife to wear a red ribbon, or a blue one since that is her favourite colour.

Imagine getting arrested for not paying 50 baht. What morons.

What a crazy concept.... wanting to live in Pattaya instead of dying. What's wrong with the man?

What a fun song. I don't know how anyone can be offended by it.

When walking in Australia and about to cross the road I look left, right and left again, then proceed. When walking in Bangkok and about to cross the road I look left, right, left again, then behind and in front for motorcycles, above for signs and below for trip hazards. By the time I finish looking, I have to start again.

I would ask her out to an expensive restaurant and buy her a bottle of exquisite French champagne to drink with our 7 course gourmet meal. During our conversation I would ask if I could buy her a house back in her village and offer to pay for her sick grandmother's hospital expenses. At all times I would remain a perfect gentleman and not expect her to offer herself in return.

Maybe he made statements that "Discredit the Ruzzian Army" and "accidentally" fell out of a window. This seems to happen a lot in Ruzzia.

"well-known influencer" is where I lost all interest.

You are assuming granny is getting the money and it's not being spent by the family for their own wants.

I would be saying this BEFORE I gave them 50,000 sinsod and 24000 a year for granny. My Thai wife was saying we need to pay sinsod and I flat out refused. That was the end of it and the topic rarely came up again.

That could have been a sting operation trying to catch someone related to material on the laptop. I agree that at the airport you touch absolutely nothing that does not belong to you. Imagine trying to do the right thing and picking up a "lost" bag to take to lost property. As soon as you pick it up you are surrounded by a bunch of cops and the bag contains drugs or other contraband. Try talking yourself out of that situation. There are places where it is best to mind your own business and airports are one of those places.

If a person has the urge to steal something, they really should do it in their home country where they at least have a chance of knowing the system. Committing a petty crime in a foreign country is the stupidest thing a person can do.

I am getting bad eye strain trying to read the text above the Hare Krishna's head.
