  1. The United States of A never had the moral authority to lecture others. They have a long tradition of overtly or covertly (CIA Organized) overthrowing democratic regimes that they considered not "friendly" enough. Turning states all over the world into fascist dictatorships or banana republics, amenable to exploitation by US multi national companies. They overthrew a democraticly elected government in Iran to install the US friendly, vicious regime of Shah Pachlavi, which led to the current theocracy. Pinochet, and all the other military dictatorship in Latin America, Suharto in Indonesia, and on and on, shows the criminality of all American presidents since FDR. And now we have an orange buffoon in the WH, who willy nilly bombs or threatens to bomb places all over the world. Might makes right, this time might is a circus clown with the maturity of a toddler. Dangerous times indeed.
  2. During my first trip to Thailand in 1979 there were exactly zero US fast food chains in LOS. Lots of Thai curry stalls all over Bangkok with huge portions for 5 Baht. Noodle soups were two Baht. There already was a Dunkin Donuts at SIAM square. They arrived years before the hamburger joints made an appearance.
  3. A quick right turn would fix it too. What about sudden acceleration?
  4. Is the one on the left topless? Can you get it from a different angle? 😂
  5. "Standing on one leg" Older folks don't have to be drunk to fail this one.
  6. It's unbelievable how and to what extent they overmedicate in this part of the world. Most of what they prescribe does more harm than good. Like killing a cockroach with a couple of hand grenades. I have had food poisoning many times, and the runs, not constipation, is the main symptom. Always clears up after a day or two.
  7. Naked pushups, that's a new one. With your organ dangling over the dirty pavement. Quite a workout.
  8. The arrests were made following reports of these individuals aggressively soliciting tourists The only aggressive 'solicitors' on beach road are the ladyboys. Female hookers, especially non natives, just stand under the coconut trees and wait to be approached by potential punters, or to have a coconut fall on their heads.
  9. He was lucky that there weren't a bunch of fellow Wins around to gang up on him, and beat the cr_p out of him.
  10. I doubt you will have any issues. I have been doing the same for years, back and forth between Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. On the Thai side with 2 extensions(on VE) in 2025. Just got another one (Jan to Feb 26).
  11. Stating that you feel aroused by someone is sexual harassment? Let's follow that logic : Fantasising having sex with someone would then be rape. That makes most of us serial rapists. Let's lock half the country up. That Sudarat woman is a serial limelight seeker, in the past with Tony, now flailing around in the political wilderness desperate for attention.
  12. Can't your married daughter help out, or are you not on speaking terms.?
  13. Not really withdrawn. They only stopped printing them, but they are still legal tender.
  14. Jokey boy's motto was :good guys in, bad guys out. So no more good guys in. Maybe they realised that good guys don't wanna come here in the first place.
  15. That depends on whether the cavity exposes the root or is close to the root, in which case a root canal should be done before the capping. Otherwise, a root canal is not necessary. I have/had over a dozen crowns, some with, some without root treatment.
  16. I am in a similar situation. Only second VE this year (first one extended), and my current one runs out on Jan 4. Will ask at immigration, whether I can still get a 30 day extension.
  17. Chulalongkorn dental hospital also has a lot professors, but not cheap. Any idea what a all on 4/6 (implants) would cost at Mahidol?
  18. There is nothing to explain. What needs explanation is your inability to see the sarcasm in my reply. It's so evidently tongue in cheek that it baffles me how anybody could take this seriously. You must totally lack a sense of humor.
  19. Harsh for the teacher? Isn't it just deportation? I guess deportation (and possible blacklisting) would be hard for folks with family in Thailand.
  20. Let's handle this the Thai :Do away with DTV visas immediately. While you at it , no more visa exemption either, which will result in a drug and prostitution free Thailand. MAKE SIAM GREAT AGAIN!
  21. And you call yourself "safety first"?
  22. He is of Chinese ethnicity. Your place of birth doesn't change your race.
