Thaksin Shinawatra Receives Family Visit in Prison
It's nice to see Khunying Potjaman again. It's such a lovely family. Rapture doesn't begin to describe my emotions. The whole clan has been working tirelessly for the welfare of the Thai people, without even a trace of selfishness and avarice. They truly live up to the Buddhist ideal of a Bodhisattva.

Pattaya Urges Red-Light Zoning, Cannabis Rules After BBC Doc
You gotta be kidding. Polite ladyboys on Soi 6. Are we talking about Pattaya Soi 6. They have been huge, aggressive, and ugly for as long as Ihave been visiting Pattaya, over 25 years. Occasionally, you have a small and polite one (still ugly) working in a non LB bar, tiny minority. It's all relative, of course, if you compare them to the ones that used to operate out of Linda Bar, next to the defunct Marine, you might be right : Linda bar Katoeys were absolutely huge, didn't know Thais could get that big, they would block your way, grab your crotch,yes and no both meant yes, probably because they weren't getting many yes, please, grab my crotch, so there business protocol required a tiny syntactical reinterpretation.

Charlie Kirk Shooting: Heartfelt Tribute From Grieving Widow
I didn't see much grieving there. A day after her husband died, she has the composure to go on air to announce she personally will take charge of a revenge campaign, in the name of Jesus, with his boundless love, to unleash fury, the likes the World has never seen. Actually, the world has seen it before, by a certain person by the name of Josef Goebbels. In his words :"Do you want total war"

Yes, and a purple note in a brown envelope.

German Man Joins Thai Protest Against Border Reopening
The wife is 43, he looks younger than her. She is end of the road material. Unlikely that there is a "brother" in this case.

German Man Joins Thai Protest Against Border Reopening
Yes you should stay out of Thai politics, but how "political" is this really. It's not liking taking side in the yellow/red shirt, or pro/anti Thaksin dispute, that would be full blown Thai politics. If there is one thing the vast majority of Thais can agree on, it is their dislike of Cambodia and Cambodians. If I were the tattooed German, I wouldn't show my face on the other side of the border, after my pic was plastered all over the press waving a Thai flag in a anti Khmer rally. The take their anti Thai sentiments very serious over there.

Fully tattooed arms, maybe?

Cutoff time for SWIFT transfers
A naive question, I have never used swift, only wise. How do they compare fee and exchange rate wise?

Why are gyms so expensive?
Gyms in Pattaya are definitely overpriced, especially for the day pass. Here in Vietnam (outside of Saigon, where they are also expensive) it's a lot cheaper.

Anutin Saddened by Thaksin's One-Year Prison Sentence
I am sure he is. His rise is due to the fall of the Shinawatra dynasty.

Thaksin's Calm First Night in Klong Prem Prison
Of course not, you can "purchase" a private cell. Used to be a million Baht. Not something I know from personal experience.

British TV Star Zara McDermott’s Filming Fright in Thailand
As a matter of fact, the vast majority of them, like 99%, do not allow it all. GO GO BARS usually have a sign at the entrance explicitly prohibiting filming.

Thaksin Sentenced to 1 Year in Prison Over Hospital Leave Case
Some arrangement similar to the one Escobar got, minus the hookers, maybe.

Thaksin Sentenced to 1 Year in Prison Over Hospital Leave Case
I don't think so. That was a decision of the supreme Court, nothing higher to appeal to.

I'm Having A Psyche Issue
No I think it's Bob. Susan, in her various reincarnations has been consistently reactionary fascists. Bob is the one with the weird everyday life dilemmas.

Beach Clash: Tourist Attacked in Dispute with Trans Worker
Had to determine the gender of the specimen! The beach road Katoeys, you can see their gender from a mile away. Some of the Alcazar ones require a closer inspection. All he had to determine was whether he was pre- or post op. Most of the beach trannies don't have the cash for the operation anyway.
