Russia Unleashes Rare Oreshnik Missile in Ukraine Assault
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.

4 Mcdonalds now in Nana
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.

How long should my food poisoning symptoms last.
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.

Naked pushups, that's a new one. With your organ dangling over the dirty pavement. Quite a workout.

8 Foreign Sex Workers Arrested for Soliciting on Pattaya Beach
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.

Will I get problems when entering Thailand by plane next time?
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).

Thai Actor Dome Sued Under New Sexual Harassment Law
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.

Police Launches Nationwide ‘Operation Bad Guys Out’ Crackdown
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.

Tooth cavity too big for a filling but dentist says do nothing
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.

New rules issued for visa extensions and visa-exempt entries
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.

Italian Drug Suspect Caught in Bangkok on DTV
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.

Amount of foreign teachers without work permits
Harsh for the teacher? Isn't it just deportation? I guess deportation (and possible blacklisting) would be hard for folks with family in Thailand.

Italian Drug Suspect Caught in Bangkok on DTV
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!
