Sudarat's Last Stand: Iron Lady Fights Corruption in Thai Politics
You're forgetting about the share of the brown envelopes she will more than likely get, it pays to be a government (local/national) employee.

Trump's crackdown on LA protests is pure hypocrisy
Just martial Law in California, and hopefully build some reeducation camps for the Progressive Liberals. We'll take all their money to pay back the damages, and put those who can't pay on chain gangs working to pay off their debt to society. Win-Win for everyone!

It's called Progressive Liberal Utopia (aka California), let the locals reap what they sow.

Thailand Tightens Grip on Retirement Visas Amid Wealth Shift
Since my wife works, and gets paid fairly well, any income I send over (which is applied to our tax return) starts immediately in the 25% bracket, and would quickly hit the 30% bracket.

After they are all done clearing the criminals from the streets, make sure California Taxpayers have to pay the full bill for all damages, federal costs for National Guard use, lawsuits, etc.

With any luck they will burn California to the ground, someone make sure Newsom doesn't try to run. In fact, we should send the national guard to the borders of California and make sure nobody escapes the inferno.

Thailand and Cambodia Begin Troop Pullback Amid Border Tensions
I'm still wondering who on the Cambodia side gave the order to march 150 meters forward and dig a trench? Was this the order of someone higher up, or is this some overzealous low ranking officer who is now cleaning toilets?

Thai Roads: Quiet Amidst Chaos, The Culture of Low Horn Use
I did my part last night with the family in tow, coming back from dinner, 7 motorcycles travelling in the far left lane against traffic, this was within a 500 meter distance of my left turn to go home. I sat on the horn while each of them freaked out and tried to climb the curb to avoid me mowing them down.

Thailand Chooses Swedish Gripen Jets Over US F-16s
This should help you understand the pricing of full package deals. https://en.defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/saab_eyes_breakthrough_year_for_gripen_sales_targets_thailand_after_colombia_deal-14337.html

Thailand Chooses Swedish Gripen Jets Over US F-16s
I think you are confusing price per plane vs full package deal. There is also support, training, and offsets involved in the final cost.

Cambodia Masses 12,000 Soldiers at Thai Border Amid Tensions
Maybe French colonizers shouldn't have decided where the borders were in Cambodia without checking with it's neighbors first. Now the ICJ owned by the colonizers is siding with what France decided the borders were/are, nice. This is what happens when nations try and colonize countries and decide what the rules and laws are, then leave a mess in their wake when they leave, or are pushed out.

In Thailand, the "immediate danger" starts when you leave your driveway, and continues until you return.

Thailand's Grim Motorcycle Death Toll Sparks Helmet Campaign
Except there is a Thai minimum helmet certification, those wouldn't even have it. So again, it's really a lack of enforcement by the useless and incompetent RTP.

Thailand Tightens Grip on Retirement Visas Amid Wealth Shift
Yes, the older men chasing 20 yr old bar girls or ladyboys (not that there is anything wrong with that), sitting on barstools until 2-3am drunk as a skunk, scammers, potheads, and the occasional Pedophiles run out of their home countries. To them, yes, this must be a "paradise".....the rest of us have higher standards.

But will they come with engines? I mean they could park them on the aircraft carrier and pretend to scare the neighbors.

Works for me when motorcycles are in the left lane heading the wrong way and expect me to change lanes to accommodate them.

I have never seen a police officer working, in fact, I have no idea what they do all day, if anything.
