I'm sure it was just a coincidence. Same as when Reagan took over for Carter ... just a coincidence. Biden's had over 3 months to try to stop of slow the slaughter of civilians and or concentrate on hostages and or a cease-fire. Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet, and simply implied what to expect, giving them a '' what if you don't " to think about. Amazing how hatred blinds so many people ...

MIA since Still lurking though ...

The tax is not new, they just never enforced on foreigners staying here, that weren't working here. Or apparently, even Thais, that brought money in from outside Thailand, apparently. I guess now that they need more tax revenue, and now may have the means to collect, will attempt to pump up the coffers.

Can't help you there, as been disappointed too many times at 'western' restaurants, run by foreigners that thing they are chefs. Thais do western food much better, in my experiences, as strange as it sounds. I don't go out to eat food I can do at home, so usually order Thai food, that is too much hassle to make at home. Udon used to have a decent selection of western food, but most closed up. Just soi samphon and a couple other offering, last time there. Again, Patts better for western food, I think, or so I read.

They could actually get a job, and contribute to society. Park their lazy butts next to a public train or bus station, as they provide public toilets. If the wife gets caught short in between petrol stations when O&A, she'll pop into the closest PoPo station along the highway, if nothing else available. Would imaging the homeless have the same available to them, where ever they are.

I'd consider food is unhealthy, if it consistently spikes your insulin above normal level, which causes numerous problems. Many Carbs, simple, sugars and complex, starchy, would definitely fall into that category. If you must eat them, then exercising a bit of moderation would be advised. Can be a challenge for many, due to their addictive effect on the body.

Maybe they should try entering the country legally ? That's what the UNHCR is for. I guess biden's appointed ambassador to TH, mr godec is pretty damn useless. How hard can it be to actually do your job, and ring up Tammi Lynn Sharpe, and point out the obvious.

Did you price the same brand & specs here in TH, from authorized dealer or authorized reseller ?

Getting things done before he's even sworn in ... ... " It also stands as a notable achievement for Donald Trump, the incoming U.S. president, whose stern warnings that "all hell will break out" if the hostages weren't released seem to have played a crucial role in finalizing the agreement" ...

DSC can happen hours, or even a day or so after scuba diving.

Us Yanks (colonist) had a silly king a few 100 years ago ... ... didn't work out very well. No sense in going backwards. Kings now are just tourist attractions anyway, in developed countries, and simply rubber stamp the new govts elected. Total waste of existence ... IMHO

My photo has been on here more than a few times, along with map to my house ... ... where's yours at ? And LA is my legal 'first' name. Don't bother posting my last name, so won't have to change it, every time I 'do change it, legally'. 3X already, and aka by another last name.

Rye bread ... turned out good bread wise, but not the strong rye flavor I was hoping for. Use 60 / 40, bread / rye flour. Maybe 50 / 50 next time. Supposedly good rye flour (Schmidt), though don't think I'll be buying again, as a little disappointed. Good bread, but not what I'd call a hearty rye flavored bread. Wife is making something with lemons, as garden is producing plenty. Don't think we'll ever need to buy lemons again.

Not sure where you're going with that one, as they don't plan on calling their car 'ES'. They're all just B Class (small) SUVs. I don't even agree with them being called SUVs, or worse, smaller ones getting labeled SUV. A Fortuner & Mu 7 types are SUVs. Nothing sporty or utility wise about an ICE B-SUV. Just MG stating it's ZS replacement, but not using the same platform. Make more sense to just say ZS is discontinued, and the ES is all new, or a BEV version of HS.

And you would know this ... by the endless stories of irresponsible gift giving by men to women, and then calling them good diggers. Surely you wouldn't hang around such lowly lot, to gain any actually true stories. Just internet drivel, repeated over & over. There's gold diggers everywhere, every profession, every 'class' of people. A fools & their money, surely doesn't represent the masses. Not in my world anyway Not by the successful relationships of the same folks, that doesn't get a lot of air play. Most I know of or think of couples that may have met originally in a business arrangement (not that I'd ever ask) are quite happy together. Sharing their life still with no gold digging going on.

Maybe, like myself, they've never seen it before. Does it really matter, still entertaining.

Too funny ... ... people need to get a life, and stay out of other people's when the are enjoying themselves.

Yes, I read it seems to be happening more than in the past, with very healthy youngins into strenuous sports. Hmm, and would be the first thing I'd be looking for in an autopsy of a supposedly quite healthy youngin

Before the greenies where here, men thinking they know better than mother nature, really screwed themselves when they mismanaged use of Lake Corcoran & Tulare Lake. Greed .... You just can't fix stupid

Are you implying those in or around such areas or profession are idiots ? I wouldn't call anyone independent and or self employed an idiot. Surely you wouldn't lower yourself to engage in conversation with them, but yet, know their level of education, thoughts or opinions, on all subjects. May a suggest a nose realignment Especially considering some of the so called more intelligent, diploma'd folks, that are fairly ignorant, borderline idiots, IMHO. I speak, spoke 5 languages, 1 dialect of 2 languages, though most kind of useless here, TH, and back in USA. Thus almost forget 3 of them, almost. See your superiority complex of .... 'I speak 5 languages' got deleted already. On topic ... knowing at least a wee bit of local language is an advantage. Though most here do speak & understand English, just prefer not to use. My experience anyway.

You use 'Stellarium' to see position of celestial bodies from you exact location. ... "Those in most places around the world will be able to witness the six planet parade across January, February and early March. "These happen yearly, but to have six or seven planets form an alignment is rarer, Dr Allen told 9news.com.au. "This has to do with the fact that the different distances of the planets mean they are all moving at vastly different speeds around the sun. "This makes it a great opportunity to see them because they will be above the horizon at the same time. "Normally, you might have to wait hours for one to rise while another may be setting." This celestial phenomenon happens yearly but it is rare to have six or seven planets line up. (NASA) Unlike previous planetary alignments, this phenomenon will stretch out across three months because the planets are sitting in advantageous positions in the sky." ... https://www.9news.com.au/national/planetary-alignment-2025-planet-parade-how-to-see-best-visibility-australia-explained/f316d207-b0c4-43d2-bfcb-9fad7214dd14#:~:text=If the skies are clear,pair%2C" Dr Allen suggests.

Don't know why they call it a ZS replacement, as obviously a HS BEV. Dimensions of different SUV models ...

Have family (3 brothers), but haven't seen them in over 20 yrs. Talk to one occasionally on FB msgr. 1 actually coming to visit next month, for 2 days. Actually didn't see them much when I lived in USA, maybe a dinner once a year. We all live separate lives, and I wasn't always living in the same state. Wife has 8 siblings, but none live near us, and we rarely see them. Maybe seen each once or twice in the past 8 years. One she saw last year, and first time in 19 years, since lives in USA.
