  1. Definitely three years, as he might end up sharing a cell with Thaksin.🙂
  2. Most probably he was running towards a restaurant, because he was looking for mustard for his würstchen, but eventually ended up with Wasabi instead. And that hurts like a bumblebee sting.😁
  3. I often find myself perplexed as to why ladyboys are seemingly absent in such situations. They do not appear to be present either as bystanders or as participants offering assistance.😁
  4. My remarks were specifically directed toward this particular case and were not intended as a generalization about all women aged 40 worldwide.
  5. Her "Exposé" must have been hanging down to her knees, otherwise the Boys would have stayed on .😊
  6. That's a truly remarkable academic statement!🤣 Any direct flights do the trick.🛫
  7. Please, tell me more about your dangerous encounter....😉
  8. Kudos and cherry blossoms to both of you, young lads! I guess the trip to America has to be postponed.😁
  9. The issue at hand is that with genuine, authentic massages, the women providing these services no longer earn a decent income, particularly in Europe. The days when people would simply walk in for a real massage are long gone. Nowadays, nearly every client requests additional services, which has led to a significant negative shift in the entire Thai massage industry. Even qualified Thai massage therapists with proper certifications have been drawn toward chasing better earnings. As a result, authentic Thai massages are often conflated with erotic services. Moreover, there are too many women working abroad now, and making a sustainable income has become an uphill battle. It's important to remember that these women face numerous expenses while living overseas. They have to cover rent for their rooms, accept revenue-sharing agreements like 50:50 or 60:40 with business owners, as well as pay for social security, taxes, daily living costs, advertising fees, debt repayments, and even sending money back home. While Thai massage is still somewhat accepted in certain places, practitioners often operate in a legal grey area. Their work may be tolerated, but when issues arise—like in the case involving Ben—authorities tend to investigate complaints thoroughly, sometimes even using undercover operations. Their lives are far from easy. As for Ben, he could have simply declined politely, gotten up, get dressed, paid a reduced fee for the back massage, and left quietly, rather than blowing the situation out of proportion.
  10. There are plenty of similar stories out there. However, I don’t see why the Thais are creating such a commotion. With so many men having one or even two Mia Noi`s alongside their wives, it’s considered completely normal and hardly newsworthy. But when the roles are reversed? Let the three of them enjoy themselves and have their fun; they’re not causing harm to anyone.
  11. ........and declares Thaksin as the inaugural Prime Minister of the Gaza Strip.😁
  12. This could potentially explain the ongoing issues with smog and air pollution in Thailand. Reducing the emission of farts might contribute to improving overall air quality.😄
  13. This is a smart decision. It should have been implemented from the start in 2022 to prevent many issues.
  14. Rubio, as an immigrant, should focus more on the situation in Puerto Rico rather than entangling himself in a dispute he doesn't fully comprehend. The same applies to his boss as well.
  15. As a small, ordinary Swiss citizen, I naturally have my own thoughts about Trump. However, I'll set that topic aside for now. What truly frustrates me is the behavior of FIFA and its Swiss president, Gianni Infantino. It's not just that he's cozy with Trump—he's completely entangled, head to toe. A FIFA Peace Prize... what a joke. This is corruption in its most blatant form. Thankfully, this circus has a limited shelf life of, at most, another three years. After that, this farce will finally come to an end.
  16. As a former Prime Minister, he held office twice under the reign of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit—a historical fact. However, his governance did not align with the expectations Her Majesty might have held for him. During his second term, his leadership in Thailand bore certain parallels to the approach pursued by Donald Trump in the United States in recent years. His conduct deviated significantly from the values espoused by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who emphasized the importance of leading a modest life, finding joy in simplicity, and prioritizing the well-being of one's family. King Bhumibol’s philosophy highlighted the significance of securing basic needs—having a stable job and the ability to provide for one’s loved ones—while cherishing life’s small yet meaningful moments. In contrast, Thaksin's tenure represented a stark departure from these principles. His priorities appeared to revolve around fostering business agreements, particularly during foreign visits, and were mired in allegations of corruption, dishonesty, and a pursuit of personal financial gain. Given this legacy, I find it reassuring that Tony will not have the opportunity to pay his respects to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit.
  17. Given Switzerland's geographic location, it's easy to imagine there’s plenty hidden beneath the massive rocks in this mountainous country. �� All I’m saying is: Swiss bank accounts. 😎
  18. This would never happen with a classic Thai Bong. 😂
  19. Couldn`t agree more. Reporters should engage with staff members at lavish hotels and resorts, as they often have fascinating stories to share about the wealthy and renowned, far beyond just tales of RandyAndy. When I was young and working at the Hilton near Zurich airport, let's just say there are things I’ve witnessed that are better left unsaid. 🙈🙉🙊
  20. In numerous discussions about cannabis, I have consistently expressed my support for it. This stance comes from being a long-time medical cannabis patient. However, despite my pro-cannabis position, I must once again, as I did in 2022, voice my concern that the current direction for advancing this industry is misguided. I firmly believe that: - Cannabis sales should require a medical prescription. - Cannabis sales without a prescription would lead us back to the problematic situations we faced before. It is unacceptable that young people, intoxicated individuals, or those struggling with psychosis could easily access cannabis at any time. Let's approach this responsibly and thoughtfully this time, Khun Anutin.
  21. If there's smoke, there's usually fire. 😎
  22. Chawalit is deeply revered in Isaan, almost to the level of a deity, even to this day. However, it’s important to remember that during his administration, the Ya Ba epidemic began. The military was responsible for smuggling supplies of the drug from Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia into Thailand. He was essentially the mastermind behind this drug trade. Things shifted when Thaksin rose to power. We are well aware of the events that unfolded when Thaksin launched his war on drugs.
  23. During his first term, he performed exceptionally well across various sectors, which raised the expectations of the Thai people significantly. However, as his second term began, his true nature started to surface. He reportedly leveraged his role as Prime Minister to market communication services to other countries, generating substantial personal income. One notable initiative during this period was the "1 Baht per day" universal health insurance scheme. Although it initially seemed promising, the program lasted just one year. Policy renewals were impossible, and the entire insurance company vanished, allegedly along with funds benefiting Tony. The controversy surrounding rice pricing was another major issue tied to the Shinawatra family, especially Thaksin's sister Yingluck. When Thai rice farmers were cultivating their crops, rice prices surged. Seizing this opportunity, the government exported its stockpile for enormous profits. Yet when farmers began harvesting that rice, prices plummeted significantly, enabling the government to acquire and replenish its reserves cheaply. These are moments drawn from my personal experience in Thailand, which have led to my deep frustration with this family, particularly Tony.
  24. Tony might consider wearing one of these neck braces, which originate from his homeland in the northern region.
  25. The neck brace should be worn much tighter to be able to improve the spinal pain. It can result also in hair loss, high blood pressure, loss of Appetit, sleeplessness, and sexual dysfunctional disorder.
