Mixed thoughts, and I guess it depends how it's instituted. If voluntary by the pedophile to avoid long prison sentence, then I don't think the doc would have moral standard issue. They really should raise the punishment for pedophiles, to life in prison, no parole. Honest pedophiles are always on record, stating they can't be cured of the urge. Does the chemical castration even work. Would not testosterone treatment simply negate to process. Life in prison ... why take the chance of having them walking among our children.

Apparently not, and as reported, she snuck him out a different way Nice spin though

I have to put up with tobacco smoke in public area, and much more annoying than the smell of ganga. I've yet to smell ganga in a public area. Not that I go to tourist areas. If that's where you voluntarily live or visit ... oh well. Live with your choices

A few comments about not understanding a comment, and yet, original comment, has yet to be explained. Go figure

2000/2001, and remember around 14 baht. It hit 40 during covid, steady at 35 for a while, now lower. All makes sense, sort of. Minimum wage is up 200-300%, since then, as are most things. I remember eggs, 3 for 5 baht, now 1 egg, milk at 39 baht for 2 L, now near 100 baht, if not there already, as haven't bought 2L in long time.

Sarcastic, don't think so. Just as posted, needed a translation. Pretty straight forward. No 'WTF' in front of it, that would have been sarcastic. His reply was a bit sarcastic (?), maybe. Prefer to be ignored rather than implied stupid. Ignorant is fine, as we all are until enlightened, which nobody is doing for me 😢 Not sure how asking for a translation is disrespectfully. People seem to read a lot into some replies. Can't just take it at face value. Oh well, moving on ...

I didn't suggest anything, as didn't have a clue what CC was asking, stating, and why I asked for a translation. So, in the context used, what does 'all over environment' mean, or even 'overall environment' mean, as still haven't a clue. If 'all over' is supposed to be 'overall', does sound better, but don't understand it, as a reply to my post. 'Overall environment' of what ? Talk to me like an ignorant wee one, as would like to know what it was suppose to mean. Just out of curiosity, even if I can't reply with a snappy comeback 🙄

I like the Harvey beef from AU. Pass on their local display beef. Frozen seafood; salmon, shrimp. Pork tenderloins and chicken thighs, if they pass the nose test, or from the freezer case. Processed; CP bologna, TGM spicy sausage, salami or pepperoni. That's about it. Makro is basically the only option here for meats. Lotus's here is disgusting, and definitely won't buy from fresh market. Yes, anything involving labor is silly inexpensive here. Along with going O&A, which we'll be on the road Sunday, I think. We don't do tourist areas, and rarely spend 1000 baht a night for bungalow surfside or hillside view, of or from atop.

Yea, for that post, I'm completely lost, as didn't even express an opinion. Oh well, one of my fan club, as I have many

And ... come on man, don't leave my hanging 🙏

Want to translate that ... Guessing that was your

USA ... just RE Tax, and healthcare premium would exceed my total living expense here. That wouldn't include housing, utilities or transport in USA. Just 2 mandatory bills, for the 'right' to live there. No RE Tax on 'used' land here, TH. Our house & lot & greenhouse lot - no tax. Two unused lots, just got the bill for, ฿300 baht yearly tax, for each (฿600 / $18.37) We hove 30 days to add plants to the lots, to state now farming on them

I'm only doing 90 kph most times, if that. Remember my Vios & Mazda 2, and would cruise OK at 100+. But I slowed down when all the cameras came out, and they started a point system. Although all the speeding tickets I got, only one had the wife's name & DL # on it. Every speeding ticket was a scam, as stated way faster than I would ever drive, as in 110-121 kph. Two were 121 kph Nah ... do 120 in either of those cars, and you definitely know it. Cheaper to simply pay than fight. If I had known at the time, most don't pay, I would have done the same.

Cost & expensive or not is all relative. ... do you own, or rent, mortgage ... own or lease, have financed transport ... home cook from scratch, or processed foods ... Thai or Western food ... dine in vs dine out; 1 -2 - 3 meals a day ... vices; company, alcohol, ganga, cigs ... health insurance Also what cost are you comparing to; USA, UK, EU, AU or ASEAN countries. We (2 adults & dog) own, house, BEVs w/solar, so minimal monthly bills. Oops fund vs healthcare insurance. Mandatory monthly bills before feeding ourselves (90% in home), are <฿3000 month Food runs about ฿10k-฿15k a month. Live & eat well and comfy for <฿20 a month.

THANKS ... watched last night, and as usually, for the 'franchise', very entertaining. Sadly, the most entertaining movie I've watched in a very long time. Nice gory chuckle fest 👍👍 Sad to see Tony Todd withering away, and he got to pick his last lines. 'I intend to enjoy the time I have left, and I suggest you do the same. Life is precious. Enjoy every single second. You never know when... Good luck.' First thing I've notices Richard Harmon in since 'The 100'.

"though the fine he paid wasn't disclosed" 🙄

100k ($3063 USD) is a pretty hefty fine ❤️ ... " The park confirmed that he faced charges under the National Park Act for non-compliance and ignoring official orders. The act stipulates a possible fine of up to 100,000 baht, though the fine he paid wasn't disclosed." ... ❤️

I'm guessing the firearm was purchased illegally, or it would be in the news, if purchased legally, along with the usual 'ban guns' rhetoric

If you actually read the details of the settlement, instead of AI generated result, then you'd know the basis of the suit was the labeling, not the product itself. Labelled as 'imported from Italy'. No details to where product was produced or sold, that I noticed, but guessing USA. Maybe using olives source in USA ? Bottles (glass) we buy are dark green, to protect from sunlight, and oil has distinct color & flavor vs other oils we use. https://www.fooddive.com/news/maker-of-bertolli-olive-oil-settles-class-action-lawsuit-for-7m/521140/#:~:text=The complaint%2C filed in 2014,while sitting on store shelves. Of course, there is this ... ... "Whether for smell, taste, or chemical quality, Stiftung Warentest tests olive oils in Germany thoroughly, providing consumers with important guidance. This year, 25 extra virgin olive oils were examined. Among the top 5 once again in 2025 is the extra virgin olive oil Originale from market leader Bertolli. In 2021, Bertolli Originale was already recognized as the “best classic brand olive oil” – and it also impressed in the current test with its balanced flavour with a delicate note of green almond and green apple (sensory quality: grade 2.2). For 160 years, Bertolli has stood for high-quality extra virgin olive oil blends. These are always carefully tailored to the taste preferences of German consumers." ...

I see their original price was 1.4M, dropped to 990k, after Riddara RD6 hit the market. Going to be hard to sway people away from the RD6 for the Nex pick up.

Quite a bit more than a day's wage, for the common folks. Why I don't see a lot of 'made in TH' entry level car passing my on the highway. Mostly the higher end vehicles.

Tax free since sold within the SET, just like every investor. No special tax break for Thaksin
