That's depressing. In Hua Hin, it's like a second career for elderly hookers. Maybe it's the hard living of drinking and smoking and late hours, but they don't age well. Lucky for them the customers are even older and don't see well in the dark.

Not really. If the traffic department had posted roadway notices in the weeks before such that road users would see and had a social media campaign, then yes your point would be valid. However, the advance notice was not effective as most drivers were unaware. There were two types of conscripts: Those who had no issue with being conscripted and were prepared to do their duty when called upon and the selfish and/or cowards. The unwilling conscripted typically did non combat duties since they were not reliable and not particularly popular with those who were prepared to defend their nation. national service was a reasonable request for the people benefiting from the society to contribute something back. No. You are way off on this one. It is irresponsible to block a major artery during rush hour. There were few alternative routes. A ceremony could have been held without blocking all of the road. The ceremony was a cop out. Give the saps a ceremony so as to distract from the real issue of the failure to have prevented the tragedy.

The criticisms of the ICC were there long before the flawed arrest warrants for the Israelis were issued. The ICC had a hard on for the USA during the last Trump presidency and it resulted in the USA taking action against the ICC chief prosecutor and the court itself. The ICC concept noble. Unfortunately, it is overly politicized and is a tool of biased forces. Over the past decade, the ICC has lost many of its key cases and instead fixated on popular causes. The prosecutors are often criticized as inept, biased and corrupt and court actions motivated more by political bias than by justice. The very fact that France has stated that the ICC warrants are unenforceable because they are illegal should tell you something.

Not likely. Read the description. Overweight with her ultra processed food diet Unless there is a fetish venue in Pattaya for fatsos, she won't be flaunting her wares. I am anticipating domestic violence casualty or drug dealing, e.g. drug mule. Or maybe a tiktok influencer........

It seems that China is trying to get there there. Pre Covid there were 500,000 international students in China. The number fell off during the Chinese lockdown but is now in excess of 350,000. It is quite a contrast to the countries I would describe as whoring themselves. Canada has 1.1 million+ international students. Australia 700,000+. Compared to the USA with 1.1 million and the UK at 586,000. one can see that Canada and Australia have been irresponsible. Add to that the 4 million temporary workers in Canada and it is easy to see why there is a housing shortage, and a clogged medical care system in Canada and why Australia has some of the same shortages. The takeaway is that is Thailand takes in hundreds of thousands of foreign students, it will create an affordable housing shortage in its cities.

It is playing out like a Korean Netflix drama. Reminds me of Chief of Staff. The President was cornered. The opposition has a majority in parliament and was picking off the President's cronies and allies in the judicial branch, voting on the impeachment of senior prosecutors because of alleged corruption. The president is using martial law to order the military to close parliament and to ban the activities of political parties. The military now takes control of all media in the country. It is a draconian measure and is putting the military in the position of reverting back to dictatorship. I don't know how this will be allowed to continue as western governments will not support the suspension of democratic rights. The South Korean military may see a revolt from its younger officers who are educated and not aligned with the corrupt senior command staff. Just a disgrace and a step back in time to a period when South Korea was ruled by a corrupt, despotic dictatorship. It will be up to the courts to stop the madness. Failing that, wait for Seoul to erupt in violent protests.

The double standard of the Labour party is on display.

A day does not go by when the British Embassy in Thailand is not responding to one of its nationals in crisis. You have no idea of the amount of babysitting and cleanup personnel at the embassy must do. 800,000+ UK nationals visit or stay in Thailand. A number of them cause havoc, destruction and embarrassment. The embassy staff must deal with the mess they make. FYI feel free to share with fellow UK nationals. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/thailand-prisoner-pack/information-pack-for-british-nationals-arrested-or-detained-in-thailand

One would have to have a credible post secondary educational system if one was promoting education. In the west, China exploited the foreign student opportunity to send spies to infiltrate western research facilities and to steal intellectual property. I doubt that Thailand has much that the Chinese don't already have access to. In Canada and Australia the scam was to sell "diplomas" to prospective immigrants under the guise that they could immigrate to a few years. The community in colleges in Canada targeted the underclass of the Punjab and now Canada has a problem with hundreds of thousands of Punjabis who do not have an genuine education and who refuse to leave the country after their visas expire. Perhaps Thailand can target Myanmar refugees with courses such as learn to work at 7-11 or how to scam tourists.

Come on. What is with the conspiracy claims so many of you people spit out? Credit was easy. The dealerships promote the sales of the motorbikes and offer payment plans. The uneducated consumers have no idea that they are paying exorbitant amounts in interest and fees because the dealerships finance the purchase over an extended period of time to reduce the monthly payment. The vendor would have been in debt for the next 7 years.

No one claimed that there were worldwide pogroms.That is a statement of your own creation, for your own political agenda. The Israeli government has a duty to warn its citizens of potential risks. The failure to do so usually results in someone being harmed. Other countries offer "do not travel advisories". The difference is that biased people do not seize upon the warnings to push their political agenda. Yes there are murders going on around the world. Unfortunately, when it comes to religious based schemes, they tend to be initiated by muslim extremists. We are now at the 100,000+ point in Darfur, and no one is protesting in the streets of Europe or on North American campuses. The Oxford Union certainly hasn't taken up the plight of Africans being hunted down by muslim militias. I could care less as to what religion you choose to self identify with. Just remember that every jew had a reservation in the cattle car to a death camp. Didn't matter if it was Dachau, or Bergen Belsen or Aushwitz or one of the others.There was a guaranteed place. There were no dispensations granted for assimilated jews or to those who were in denial. Just like at an Oprah Christmas show, everyone got the prize. At best, the most self hating could be Kapos.

Not surprised at all. My comment was in response to the puzzlement as to why there were 2 separate scans. Do try to read the subject matter first before trying to offer a snappy retort.

The OTAs do not provide lower airfares than Air Asia.The cost savings are due to different products being sold. The seat purchase, meals, priority boarding options are available with Air Asia's website. It is not available from many OTAs. The baggage allowance default is different too. Air Asia uses negative option selling. i.e. it charges for options that the consumer may not want like "insurance". It is up to the consumer to opt out. I find that annoying. However, the fact remains that Air Asia has no customer service. I had to eat 10,000 baht on some domestic flights because I could not get through to anyone to change my flights because of a delayed connections. Thankfully I was able to book Thai Lion at the last minute. Better experience too. I haven't gone near Air Asia in 2 years and won't if I can avoid them in the future.

Snowden is complicit in the violent deaths of US operatives. His leaks identified people who were risking their lives so that people like Snowden could enjoy the benefits of freedom. Traitors like him were not the reason the USA left Vietnam with its tail between its legs. It was a realization that the South Vietnamese could not be helped combined with a moral rot at home and a collapse of discipline in the military. The USA is dependent upon the rest of the world for its wealth. The USA needs to export to foreign markets. Alienate everyone, and slap tariffs on everything and consumers will go elsewhere and the vital resources the USA needs will not be available. Australian, Canadian and Argentinian wheat is as good as, if not better than US wheat. Their cattle isn't fattened on low quality corn in feedlots and jacked up with antibiotics and other chemicals. Americans love to complain about not being able to dump cheap dairy into Canada, but they just don't get it that Canadian consumers don't want the US dairy cattle products that come from drugged up herds. The US dairy industry relies on Recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST, also known as rBGH), a synthetic version of somatotropin. This commercially-produced artificial hormone is not used in Canada and some EU nations. RFK Jr can clean up the US first. US multinationals don't like the EU consumer privacy protection laws and the regulations on market manipulation. They will try and push the EU and others to throw away those protections. Maybe the crappy quality US airlines to do away with EU consumer protection so that everyone gets the Spirit/Frontier experience. That's the world of Snowden.

I note his plentiful tattoos. 😗 Perhaps in your socioeconomic subculture. For those of us who associate with people who are self sufficient and gainfully employed, your assumption does not apply. You assume that women must be "kept" and that the man is always the wage earner. Plenty of my friends and work colleagues are in shared financial arrangements or where the woman earns more than the man. No one is paying for the services of the other.

My comments were not in respect to the one offs, but were intended for the people with multiple visible ink.

My friend often works night shift , from 9 pm to 6 Am and by 5 AM he is often bleary eyed and falling asleep. Some workshifts are more rough than others especially if you work daytimes too such that the circadian rhythm is disrupted.

The topic is a reported attack on an Israeli by people identified as German. I doubt the attackers were native born Germans. As rude as they might be, even the modern day Germany right wing groups typically don't do that. I will not be surprised if the attackers are anything but German. It is like the moto jerks in Phuket who are described as French when they are more likely to self identify as North African.

You have a different definition for genocide when it involves Israel. If there was a genocide in Gaza there would be an overall reduction in the population, but there has not been. On the contrary, the population of Gaza has still increased. Gaza has been pumping out babies at the rate of of approx. 27/1000 population. Gazan women are veritable reproduction machines churning out an average of 4 per woman. Most of the dead in Gaza are Hamas militant related, either combat personnel or support personnel involved in logistics, command & control and administration. Approx. 45,000 are reported dead. That's not a very effective genocide. It's not as if you don't have actual genocides in the region to benchmark against. You know, something like the mass slaughter of Africans in Darfur. 100,000+ and increasing.

You always have the same claim of there being a conspiracy to mislead. It gives the impression that you are using the event as an opportunity to express your own biased hatred of people.

The word is HAD. There are less than 7,000 left in Iran now and they are basically hostages. They cannot leave. They live under supervision. To now claim that the victims of oppression are running Iran isn't just ignorant, it is exceptionally bigoted and intentionally malicious. The iranian jewish community joins the large Iranian diaspora forced to leave Iran because of the religious extremists.

So you really are not jewish then and have some deep seated self loathing?

Excellent entertainment. The visits to the trailer parks. The arrests of criminals in Republican dominated and controlled states like Kentucky, Florida, Alabama etc. was revealing There was also a show on A&E called Live PD. It was a great demonstration of American culture. You know all those mass swarmings of retailers and the plague of shoplifting in the USA, is it exceptionalism that it seems common in the USA, but a rarity in the UAE, Japan, Thailand, Singapore and other places? I also like to peruse the mugshots of the mostly white US criminals at https://www.thesmokinggun.com/mugshots They are very exceptional 😉 The USA is so exceptional that it has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. It also is characterized by its school shootings and a culture that puts the right to carry firearms in public places above the right to peace and safety.

All that is very nice, but the fact is that the Ottoman Empire left the Middle East in a mess. Israel had been recognized as an entity, and yet was managed as a department of Damascus. Everything was a part of the Ottoman Empire. The Saudis were treated like filth and relegated to the desert. There was no Syria, no Iraq, no Lebanon and no Jordan. The collapse of the Empire changed all that. To deny the right of modern Israel to exist requires that the agreements to define the borders of Syria and Iraq, to carve Lebanon out of Syria, to create Jordan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia must also be torn up and disregarded.

You claim a false flag. OK. where is your evidence? What the UAE has stated, and so far backed by Turkey and Israel is that Turkmenistan nationals were involved. They have already fingered Iran.
