Do I get along well with most Thai people? Yes, absolutely. They are, by and large, polite and friendly and easy to get along with. Do I have any close Thai friends? Well, honestly, no. Partly it's the language barrier - I speak and read Thai well enough to get by, but not well enough for friendly conversation. But partly it's also my own personality. I get along well with people and have lots of friendly acquaintances, but I don't make close friends easily.

I'm not looking forward to another 4 years of this nonsense... People need to stop obsessing over Trumps random announcements. The man suffers from verbal diarrhea, whatever thought happens to be passing through his addled brain is what comes out of his mouth. If another world leader discussed annexing another country, that would mean that his generals have a plan and are seriously considering it. When Trumps says something like this, it just means that he had some random thought and it came out of his mouth. It's not time to start warming up the tanks and aircraft carriers, it's time to lower our expectations of rational discourse from the "leader of the free world".

If you are wondering who the Council of State is, here is the not-very-informative Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_the_Council_of_State So, the real question I have, is who appointed the Council of State members?

An F1 race in Bangkok? This would be the perfect opportunity for the BiB to capture the Red Bull boy! 😉

There is a senior discount that used to be given to all passengers over 60. Several months ago some high ranking Thai person noticed that foreigners were being given this discount and kicked up a fuss, so the MRT changed their rules so that only Thais over the age of 60 got the discount. So, the regular price for the MRT is the same for everyone, it's just the senior discount that is no longer given to foreigners.

If she is number 29, then here is number 30 on that list.

The outcome will all depend on the respective social status of the two students! If the killer is the son of a police or military officer it will all be brushed under the carpet as a misunderstanding.

AI/Robots are really good at jobs that involve accounting, writing, graphic design, etc. However, cleaning, doing laundry, etc.. are surprisingly complex jobs that are difficult for robots to do. So, in the future, your kids can look forward to careers as maids and janitors in robot factories. No wonder no one wants to have kids!

Note to self: Don't commit any crimes during New Year, the rest of the should be ok though!

The world has two options: The fortunes of the 5 richest men could support all of the poor elderly on Earth, OR the richer countries with declining birthrates can just continue importing the endless supply young workers from Africa and the middle east to replace the aging populations in the West.

I was thinking the same, but remember "no matter how good looking and sexy a woman may be, somewhere a man is absolutely sick of all her s)*)(*!" 😁

Right! The chin jobs make the look like the wicked witch of the west!

One problem with these rental wives (or so I have heard 😜) is that they are often from the deepest, darkest, depths of Issan and don't know their way around Bangkok or other parts of Thailand that a tourist would want to visit!

IMHO it would be highly inappropriate for any newscaster to publicly display any political bias. News should be factual and impartial. Those of you old enough to remember Walter Cronkite will probably remember that he never gave a clue as to his own political preferences.

Easy peasy! Just slap a couple of packs of condoms and KY on the counter and then ask if she is free tonight! 😜

Well he would say that, wouldn't he?

Don't most accident insurance policies have conditions that invalidate coverage? Like riding a motorcycle without a proper license?

This is a classic carrot and stick approach. The EC is the stick and the Court is the carrot!

^ This! While there is no doubt that government bloat and inefficiencies could be cut, the kinds of drastic, wholesale deletions of complete government departments will lead to future health, environmental and financial disasters. The US Government is far from perfect, but it does work to keep children and working people safe and to restrain rapacious business practices. I believe that we are saving money now only to have to spend it in the future, cleaning up the mess the next 4 years will leave behind.

Cutting government oversight departments always save money in the long run... Just ask the British how well that worked out when Margaret Thatcher deregulated parts of the Agriculture and Health Ministries, leading to the outbreak of Mad Cow Disease.

It could have been worse... he could have actually married her!
