Report Thaksin Treatment Saga: Health Minister Faces Crucial Decision
parallelman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
15 days to decide how big the BPB is going to be...what a farce. -
At the very beginning of Joe Biden's term I had a bet with a friend that he wouldn't make it through to the 3rd year, Well I lost that bet and now I know why. I wasn't considering the politics just the man as I saw him on the various occasions in the news. I felt sorry for him because he just didn't appear to be a well man imo. It was sad watching the Biden/Trump debate last year and whoever convinced JB to be there need to be ashamed of themselves. JB looks and sounds just as bad now and instead of using his time to relax away from politics and enjoy what time he has left, he is embarrissing himself again.

‘Big baby’ Kanye West Abruptly Walks Off Piers Morgan Show
parallelman replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Ye says that media hosts should do more research (after follower quote) but perhaps he should have done the same. Piers Morgan Show is well known for its challenging stance and if one doesn't like that then simply don't attend in the first place. -

Accident Horrific Motorway 7 Crash Claims Eight Lives
parallelman replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
My condolensesto the families. At just past 9 a.m. I was driving along the 210 route going out of Udorn. A lot of large trucks and Lorries with trailers battling it out, well those that seemed to have no loads, and passing me while my speed was about 80 km/hr. The traffic lights at Nong Wua Saw were green as I approached and crossing the junction trucks whizzed by on both sides. I did think the truck on the left was going to turn left since it was in that lane coming up on my left. But it didn't. I decelarated so that I wouldn't get caught between them but then the driver of the Lorry at my rear started honking. I was already in the left lane approaching the incline and with traffic passing on the right I had nowwhere else to go. He was still honking as he eventually overtook. Phew, I thought. -

I remember that after being in Thailand for about 5 years I was helping a Thai friend who was a manager of a gym. He had several thousand leaflets printed advertising the gym. He gave me some so I could distribute them...but I immediately saw a glaring mistake... a word with a double vowel '...าา'. I thought 'this is not going to go down well'. Having showed him the mistake, First he thought it might be just one or two leaflets but each bundle was the same. He was furious. He sacked the two individuals who 'designed' the ad because they obviously hadn't checked finished examples. He told them who had found the mistake and as they left, well if looks could kill. I went to the print shop with him where there was a big argument because the shop claimed that the proof had been accepted. In all I found four mistakes, the others being words with missing vowels. The manager of the shop was not pleased with me because he said that I probably influenced my friend to demand corrections free of charge, which of course I hadn't. I think I learned about the value of Thai 'loss of face' on that day.

Transport Driving Licence Renewals Go Digital: No More Tests Needed
parallelman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well the way I see it is that if it is just for Thai citizens it will reduce the queue numbers so that'll be a plus...not that I had any trouble last November but then I didn't use the main office in the province. -

Why so many conspiracy theorists and what to do about them
parallelman replied to kwilco's topic in Off the beaten track
Hmm, though I agree, unfortunately it isn't that simple. Some are growing and one or two have books that are being considered to be used in school. Flat Earth is an example (see picture). Here, because the item is based on bible hence the considration. -
