Only one side reports the truth.

Sad when you believe that.

Maybe he is against the exploitation of workers, worldwide.

Yes, that's why he's buying his maga stuff made by exploited workers.

Do you really believe your words?

This is such a great disappointment for the criminal left.

Not really, not much of a victory for trump. Deportations without due process are not allowed and there are judicial ways open for all victims here.

In the end many of the cases will reach the SC, who will then have to judge on the merit of the cases.

I am pretty sure this has been Trump's plan from the beginning

Lol, so predictable, still backing the nonsense. 

Tightening oversight, ok, but beheading?

That is not the point.. The point is that everything foreigners do is highlighted, while the netizens are same or even worse as there are more Thais than foreigners in this country... So why only highlight all accidents, problems with foreigners.

Start reading Thai language news, plenty of the reports that you're looking for there.

I saw it this morning, 

I'm there often early morning, so too early for workers to have started. But i get the impression construction has halted again.

You can find it in many newspapers but not the Guardian.

Yes, always with 'according to the IDF' or similar.

In the EU we are more than happy that we got rid off the permanent complainers from the Island, feel sad for the Scots only.

Disagree with you. I like the Brits, and am saddened to see them shoot themselves in the foot.

Interesting play with stats. It shows only WP issued in certain period of time. not a total WP over Phuket. So obviously the topic is not correctly made.

Otherwise we can see only slightly above 7,000 legally employed foreigners over whole Phuket? Seriously? 

So how about the 15620 mentioned? I think that is the number of permits valid in April 2025.

Feel free to counter my point. 

Has been done already. EU tariffs to US imports vary between 3 and 7 percent weighed average, depending on the source. Link has been provided earlier.

if you actually read the paragraph it was clearly stating that Tesla proved that EVs can be high-performing and eco friendly.

Yep, really does help if one can actually use what is available.

Thanks for confirming it shouldn't have been on a recent invention list.

Lol, electric vehicles a recent invention. They have been around for 100+ years already. Didn't look into the other claims.

Good idea, that regulation could be added to the ones that they all follow strictly including all skippers fully qualified and licensed , regular seawothy and maintenence inspections, carrying at least 1 life jacket for every passenger and strict adherence to only the licensed no. of passengers to be carried  on boat.

On chalong pier that is all checked daily.

I'm assuming they left the keys in the bike? that's a bad habit, We pulled up outside Amazon the other morning I stayed in the car and there was a brand new bike along side me with the keys in it, I'm sure people think it doesn't happen, there was a gang going around Rawai some years ago stealing bike/scooters just picking them up on to the back of a truck, 

They stole my wifes brand new Fino still had the red plate on it, 

If theft via loading on a pickup presence of a key won't make any difference.

In theory good for western tourism, but takes a while. Since the main Thai tourism markets, Russia, China, India, are also experiencing declining currency, not much effect there.

Mainly USAID cuts for foreign projects. AIDS has been around for more than 40 years. Foreign aid and relief has been sent continuously for at least that period to poor countries, from the USA and Europe. Should a country like India not be able to handle their own problems by now? 

Funding for all kind of US research projects has been cut.
