What kind of hack journalism is this. I think someone doesn't understand proper decimal placement. 40 billion baht divided by 14 means that each one averaged EIGHTY-SIX MILLION, NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SIX MILLION US dollars per trade. Anyone with that much liquid capital to invest wouldn't be taking random phone calls, and would have an army of lawyers, accountants, and advisors to handle their money.

Report Three Nigerian Nationals Arrested in Phuket for Overstaying
Iron Tongue replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Definitely just a misunderstanding! All three are upstanding members of the Nigerian Royal Family, and just waiting for their inheritances to clear a simple probate procedure. Perhaps if we all send them a few thousand $US each, it will help them get their money, and they will reward us with a chunk of their money! Who wants to create the gofundme? -
Crime Drunk Foreigner’s Wild Rampage Shocks Chiang Khan Tourists
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I agree. Wearing black-on-black, he's too color coordinated to be from the UK. But that pointed bullet head of his, Russian? -

Amateur! Everyone knows you're supposed to double-bag them in condoms, like how the Columbian coke mules do it. -
Report Toddler Rescued After 30 Minutes Locked in SUV at Gas Station

Seriously? It took 30-minutes to get the kid out? This needed a rescue squad and specialized equipment? ... They were at a service station fer chrissakes! -
Accident Supercar Crashes Into Tree on Winding Uttaradit-Nan Border Road
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Rai News
Take another look at the top picture. Notice how much bark had been scraped-off of the tree. That car went into the tree sideways and probably caused extensive damage to the frame, effectively totalling the car. And, as the car has been abandoned, I'm guessing the engine or drive train were knocked-out as well. -
Report Cambodia Masses 12,000 Soldiers at Thai Border Amid Tensions
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yep. It's a ZU-23-2 = twin barrelled, 23mm autocannon. Introduced by the Soviet Union, but copied by China. While it was meant to be a short-range AA gun, the one you see here, in Africa, and in Ukraine, are mostly used against vehicles, light armor, buildings, and infantry. They can fire explosive shells which are devastating against infantry, even hidden in woods or buildings. -
Report Thailand Chooses Swedish Gripen Jets Over US F-16s
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I am communicating appropriately. I've used facts based on actual, real-world combat records. You jumped-in making wild claims based-on an obvious lack of understanding the subject. Or history. My assumption about what part of your body your claims comes from, stands. -
Crime Pattaya Police Detain Armed Foreign Gang Near Tourist Area
Iron Tongue replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
150k baht/month is £40k a year So how could you save £2.5 million making £40k year? And you are obviously young. And with only 70k subs? -
Report Thailand Chooses Swedish Gripen Jets Over US F-16s
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Really? And what are your qualifications to declare "All much better than F16"? Which block F-16s are you talking about? Do you know what " block" means and how much they affect the capabilities of a 50-year old design? The F-16, flown by all allies has a 76-1 record vs Russian/Soviet/Chinese jets, what records do the others have? ...or perhaps you are merely talking out of your backside? -
Good to know! I have under eye bags that could do with a little "lifting" and the name of a good surgeon is always useful to have! Thanks!

What is the cause? Age-related sagging of skin (eyelids) that may obscure vision? Purely cosmetic?

Accident British Pensioner Crashes Through Wall, Child Narrowly Escapes
Iron Tongue replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
That's what I initially thought as well, but reading the article, a witness said he was having problems with his car and revving the engine for about 3-minute before he launched his car. Perhaps it's time for this gent to surrender his drivers license and go with public transport. -
Traffic Foreign Supercar Owners Fined for Flouting Phuket Parking Laws
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Hmm, if brake fluid somehow finds its way onto the car body, it will strip the paint down to bare metal or plastic in as little as 10-minutes... That'd be terrible if it happened to these cars! -
Report Thai Man Jailed in Singapore for Bribery After Public Urination
Iron Tongue replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I'm glad you don't run Singapore, because you'd turn it into another Thailand. The issue here is that someone tried to bribe 2 Singaporean law officers. It doesn't matter what initial contact was for. He could have gotten years.
