Two Russians Arrested for Begging in Surat Thani
Jingthing replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
Some are a type of unofficial refugees. I think a few countries are accepting asylum applications from Russians subject to screening of course. Thailand obviously not. . -

The Russians here are a mixed bag. Of the subset that hope to leave Russia long term or for life its important not to paint them all with one brush. Some are wealthy and can afford Elite visas, some are highly skilled and can work remotely and can eventually find a country that wants them for that, some of them have brought their families, some are Putin supporters but afraid to die, some were antiwar before the mobilization. War is messy. -

Many of them are refugees but getting actual refugee legal status will be difficult everywhere for them and impossible in Thailand. Heck Thailand isn't even accepting Ukrainian refugees. I'm not saying they are a monolith though. Each person has their particular story and many of them will be lying about it. -

It's very good but I don't want to watch it again as I prefer to have the memory of seeing it when it was released. -

The thing with these lets go back in time "me too" thingies is that there has often been a hysterical lack of common sense and judgement that fails to differentiate one case from another. For example conflating a dead serious case like Harvey Weinstein with the rather trivial comedic prank that sunk Al Franken. This Romeo and Juliet case is just 100 percent stupid. Nudity in an art film from decades ago where that nudity was essential to the movie? Are they having a laugh? Yes it's true that today even though various kinds of media shows very explicit teenage sex scenes (not talking about pornos) if the production is in the US and some other countries they will now use young adults to portray teens. Standards did change on that at least in the US. There is nothing wrong with actors playing younger when it works dramatically but often they are casting 30 year olds that really do look too much like 30 year olds which does take away from the believability of the plots. BTW, did y'all see this film back when it was released? I did. -

Tip of the iceberg globally. Now Russia is threatening to criminalize those who have fled. -
To be fair the clip is a short and can better be understood by viewing the long version. It appears to be about the f-rang who was seen having public sex in Pattaya with a woman. He was caught. The video was made before he was caught. I think Michael Rappaport is funny but you can't take him too seriously. So here it is. Thailand stuff starts at 14:07.

They are actors. Not victims. -

They have got to be kidding. It was not porn. It was beautiful and in keeping with the theme of the movie. -
I can definitely picture him in Brazilian prison. Can't post it but suggest looking for the video of him walking into congress. Like a deer in headlights with a pack of reporters hounding him. Fake checking his phone. Wearing a student backpack looking like his first day of junior college. A real republican icon!

Disputing a condominium fine
Jingthing replied to wprime's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
I think it depends on the size. Normally I understand 6000 baht is worth fighting about for most people in the world, but I'm looking at the context of your story -- selling your condo. -

Get 6000 more out the buyer and pay it now. Life is too short. 6000 is nothing in the context of a real estate deal. -
What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2023)
Jingthing replied to CharlieH's topic in Entertainment
Abbott Elementary It's a HIT. Now in it's second season, it has become a very popular (and in my opinion worthy) comedic show that is rivalling the previous popularity of Modern Family. It's mostly about the teacher's characters in an inner city Philadelphia school and they are really fun characters to watch. It's even better for me because I get all the Philly references but not at all required.
