Iron Tongue

I actually feel bad for these stall traders, who will borrow more money from their loan sharks to restock their stalls, only to go bankrupt in 3 months.

Well that takes a load off my mind!

I was really beginning to worry that these senior officers would be unfairly accused of doing wrong!

UPDATE!  Thailand has announced plans to promote over 90,000 new generals in the military!  This should provide "trickle-down" benefits for the entire Thai economy!

Why nato would stop him oops I forgot trumps try ing to casterate nato that beeing said imo that Lukashenko is getting scared hope so hope the Belarusian people give him and his family the old Benito Mussolini send off!

How exactly does Trump castrate NATO when none of the major partners contribute even half of their membership obligations for their own militaries?   This has been going on for decades.

NATO has castrated itself: Germany only has 94/244 operational Leopard tanks, (in contrast Chile , yes Chile! has 173 operational Leopard tanks!).  Fighters -4/128,  0/6 operational submarines, 0/15 operational frigates... 

The US, UK, E Europeans and Baltics are the only ones paying their share.  Everybody else just puts their hands out expecting the US will save them again in the next world war.

Stopped in Death Valley once during a high school trip, I feel no need to ever go back.

Only good thing about desert heat is lack of humidity.

Mongols had colonies?  What school did you go to, and fail from?

maybe already parked at the borders and ready to move in

 "Parked" is about all the T-14 can do at the moment.  The T-14 tank, like the stealth Su-57 fighter, is vaporware at the moment.

When Germany defeated the French and installed the Vichy govt., Thailand saw it as a great opportunity expand so it invaded colonial French territories and actually fought quite well against weakened French forces.  Japan had to intercede because it embarrassed the Germans who controlled Vichy France and its colonies.

Japan then moved troops into Thailand with the cooperation of the Thai PM, so it wasn't an invasion.  Thailand then declared war on England and the USA, expecting to be rewarded territories when the Japanese won WW2.  Things didn't end up as planned and the commoner Thais suffered greatly from the Japanese as fortunes turned.  

So where is eyewitness #2?  The "Air Marshall".

Could be be hiding-out so he doesn't have a fatal traffic accident?

Ok ...  I am ex  Police  and that is a  Military  weapon  with a folded  tripod under front of  barrel section

Very high calibre  gun

How  they get  that in general population???

God  help Thailand 

 

You don't have a clue what you're talking about. 

"Very high calibre gun"... IF it's real, it would be a M16/AR15 which fires 5.56mm/ .223 inch diameter bullets, the smallest caliber used in a modern combat weapon.

Ex police huh?

All the other countries/companies are too busy fighting each other to be the first one to bring the vaccine on the market. (human greed).

If they would have worked together the vaccine would already been ready and distributed 3 months ago.

But of course making a fortune from someone else's suffering is more important.

 

 

How exactly do competing companies fight each other and how does this impede discovery of a safe vaccine?

Competition causes innovation.

Nationalization causes stagnation.

Plan your trip for 2021.

Until there is widespread distribution of a vaccine, normal intl. travel isn't going to happen.

October may be the earliest that a vaccine gets selected in the US, widespread innoculations won't happen for at least 6-months after that.  Air travel won't happen until there is evidence vaccines actually work.

There's still 1 living eyewitness, isn't there?

Where's that "Air Marshall" and his eyewitness testimony at?  

I see lasting change in Lebanon to be as reachable as it happening in Thailand.  

I hope that these ladyboys do get help so that they can quickly get off-of their feet and onto their backs again! 

Sopranos is up there as well!

As mentioned above, set up an advanced directive and disposition of finances documentation with a law firm and keep care on you.  

The law firm can set aside funds and make arrangements for cremation, or contact the temple of your choice and pre-pay (donate) the funds for a Buddhist ceremony & cremation if that is what you want.

You want a lead on a crypto to invest in?  ...Venezuelan Petros!

At first, I also wondered why anyone would need to remove all those cameras when it would have been easier to "disappear" the DVD recorder, then I realized this was Thailand, and the cameras (and baccarat tables) were needed for the new casino opening down the street!

You've described a Japanese soaking tub, or Onsen.  They can be made from cedar wood and won't need all that concrete or tiling and will look elegant. 

Look online for design ideas.  I'd suggest solar + electric heating system.

Sniper?  Video of a muzzle flash?

Clearly none of y'all are professional murderers for the govt!  Shooting somebody creates more problems than fixes since there's a matter of a bullet hole in the victim plus potential videos of the killing.

OTOH, people die in traffic accidents every day in the Land of Smiles...

Cambodian rice has been in the UK for a couple of years now. Always cheaper than Thai and the quality seems comparable.

Cambodia was the top rice producer in SE Asia before the wars & Khmer Rouge destroyed their country.  They'll eventually get back to being a major rice producer while Thailand will still be complaining about something or other.

You will need to buy insurance specifically called "Trip Cancellation Insurance", which is different than "Travel Medical Insurance" which will likely not cover your described scenario.

Thai price 20 baht

Foreign price 400 baht

 

Nah, more like:

20 baht tour & full prison experience;

1000 baht to skip the cavity search!

I'm pretty sure that new forensic evidence will come out proving that, not only did the police officer back into the Ferrari, but he then proceeded to drag the helpless car!
