  1. Getting taken to a police station in handcuffs is not in the holiday brochure!@@@! Even when I lived in Thailand I hated it when the police raided/shookdown bars/entertainment establishments. I also hated seeing groups of armed police going down the street together.
  2. A lot of workers crossed the border after covid. Are they tourists? I think they are borrowing land border crossing figures.
  3. I think not! If I didn't have family and a house (I'm not even interested in the house anymore) in Thailand I would never visit for a holiday as there are far better places to go.
  4. He fixed the lottery. Oh sorry that was another fail. Tried to steal a gold mine. Oh that faild and is going to cost the country millions of $. Brought back democracy. Ups another fail, locked up sanwich eating protesters and students going to protest corruption but he stopped corruption. Not again Its worse now than ever. The economy...mmmm Nope massive fail. He has succeeded in an exodus of foreign investment.
  5. I'm the opposit I wasn't a big fan but recently I'm a huge fan "bringing back free speech" I do not like the blood cars. However his are far better than the competition. EV on the road in Thailand on mass watch the death toll rise dramatically. The batteries make them so heavy they cut through other cars like butter. (Deaths involving electric cars isn't talked about.. shhhhhh!)
  6. I remember when I would think like that but never ever pick someone up for grammar unless in the classroom and being paid. I'm sure you understood what was ment and got the gist of it. His remark was quite valid when just chatting and not marking exams. I read the article and first thought two people.
  7. I fancy the one I'm reading on here hence commenting on. I am not about to research every article.
  8. Yes you are right about cadets and even recruits (training recruit exercises obviously have a very low level of expected serious injuries and deaths). These kids shouldn't even be doing full assault courses. Training for cadets should always be fun and not harsh.
  9. Try looking at uk.gov web site and other medical papers that are coming out instead of listing to the media and politicians (even the USA official organisation) and you may get a shock. Deaths caused by covid of would shock you if you bothered to search. The figure have been published but not reported by main stream media or the majority of our politicians. Just read them it is shocking.
  10. You might be surprised at the number of deaths allowed on an exercise in the British army before End Ex is called (14 is a number I recall). Deaths on major exercises are common. In Germany training in the 1980's deaths commonly happened normally from accident and stupidity like sleeping under a 432 in the rain or being run/reversed over.
  11. A water bottle of water doesn't last long especially in heat. There is also a possibility that they were prevented from drinking their water. I remember every run in full webbing water bottles checked before and after.
  12. It says they were two magazine's which implies empty especially in thai reporting which count every round, example would be: 3 rounds ànd two magazine's or 14 rounds and 2 magazine's. So unless another news sauce states how many rounds I will take it as many others that they were empty.
  13. This I so wrong, it's only 2 empty magazines. Yes it is easy to miss such items especially if its every day items you use. I remember finding a couple of 7.62mm rounds in a box years after they had fallen out of webbing (that box had crossed a couple of country borders. I was lucky and took then to the ranges and fired them off. It is easy thing to do. God I had drill rounds for years and tail fin of a mortar from the Falklands oh and a couple of empty magazine's in that box for years.
  14. If this is just two empty magazines then this is way over the top.
  15. As many eventually do myself included.
  16. Two Burmese lads who were working in Kow Tow. That popped into my head straight away.
  17. I've carried more cash than that but it was around my waist and with me all the time. Infact any money I carry on me (I have a reason and am not hiding anything). I do not understand anyone putting valuables in luggage unless they are hoping it gets stolen or lost and its well insured.
  18. I think not. A funeral is very rarely a financial burden unless you go overboard with the time spent eating and what you have on the menu plus drinking before the ceremony. The money collected from everyone even the poorest leaves the next of kin in profit.
  19. What else are they going to do? No one disputes there are tourists but there is plenty of speculation as to the true numbers.
  20. I'm sure Siddhartha Gautama would object to Buddhism being called a religion and his spirit saddened by statues placed everywhere as he objected to both. The way you are living is correct, Buddhism is a way of life and a philosophy and from what I've read my take is its about your inner being.
  21. Why is everyone saying this? I'm quite certain that Russia & Ukraine are not the only suppliers in the world. What we are experiencing again is that 1% using the war to increase profits as they did with cov. I've noticed in the UK 20~30% rises in lots of produce and some a lot higher. This means I've lost a third of my income. This is my fact and I can't be the only one.
  22. The UK government's own figures shows this to have always been the fact. More data = more accuracy that's why annual flue/influenza figures are always adjusted down. Uk .gov believe it or not gives great information. I just don't understand why people believe politicians and media without first doing a .gov search.....
  23. You need to keep up with government body and established medical journals/researchers. A very different story is starting to come out (almost the opposit in fact).
