Correction. For as long as I can recall, successive PM's have always asserted that Thailand has a 'special' democracy. Nice try but sorry, we don't want Trudeau either.

It will happen just before the next election when certain entities percieve Prayuth throwing his hand in with Thaksin and winning.

The Thaksin clan being the repeated people's choice is precisely why Prayuth created a new Constitution and a Senate chock full of mates on a reach-around. Who voted for the new Constitution BTW?

Three million bucks to restore a 28 year-old sunken ship to duty? It's sitting in around 40 m of water. The pressure at that depth is causing all sorts of irreparable damage to whatever they think is salvageable. I guess there's a Vice Admiral (ret'd) who has a family connection with a local company that just happens to have the unique expertise to carry out this work.

If your agent is using your Bangkok address as primary domicile when filing your "one year visa", nobody from Immigration will be checking up on your Pattaya condo address. Do you do 90-day reports? Or does the agent do that for you?

Shopping carts, traffic cones and Styrofoam among the piles of debris that littered Seal Beach after a trio of winter storms Unfortunately, it's floating out there in the sea all the time.

I probably sail over 30,000 km globally each year. This trash is pervasive even in the remotest of oceans. It's truly awful. Sea Shepherd 22 November 2022 · Shocking amount of globally lost fishing gear revealed 2% of commercial fishing gear, which includes 25 million pots and traps and 14 billion hooks , ends up in our #ocean each and every year, according to a new and most comprehensive study ever completed of lost fishing equipment. A few percent of that washes up on beaches and can be disposed of, and some are recovered by ghost net recovery organizations across the world, including our amazing teams. But the vast majority stay in the ocean, doing what they were designed to do - to catch and kill marine wildlife for years It’s time to take a stand and say no You can do so by • not supporting the fishing industry and avoiding so-called “seafood” products. • helping us continue our fight for the ocean by donating today - https://seashe.ph/donate #ghostgear #pollution #marineconservation #savetheocean #seashepherd https://web.facebook.com/Ghostnetwork.PT/?_rdc=1&_rdr I admit one has to start somewhere so I like this:

Did that shock you then?

Wasn't Roi-et attributed with the most drunk driving arrests accolade during the holidays?

We?

Instead of arguing his alleged intoxication, there's a very good chance that he was just another rubbish driver. I saw some dashcam video on a local news clip yesterday. It was one spectacular wipe-out and it's amazing that nobody got killed.

But it wasn't a foreigner so it wasn't racist (wouldn't be anyway).

Well he would, wouldn't he?

You're conflating frugality with being a skinflint. Not to worry, the less well-off tend to do it all the time.

The high tide mark after a tropical storm passes through is never a good indicator of a nation's marine pollution. Attention grabbing maybe but that's about it.

Not sure where @JoseThailand has been but for me, I carry fond memories of the open, squat latrines of Beijing. So convenient and convivial. It was never quite the same after Tiananmen though.

Really that's your take on this? Wow!!! I guess it is. Now what's yours?

And...?

No sense of decorum. If only he had groped the staff appropriately.

And Thai food is second only to black folks Texas BBQ.

When a tree monger falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

Give every prospective traveler to Thailand 28-days notice so they can go and get double-jabbed.

It's just another variant of the same coronavirus. Boo!
