  1. Might have been naturalized, before her criminal involvement.
  2. Looks like the textbook case. As Methamphetamine addicts are often known to hurt themselves. Still better than harming anyone else though. Self-mutilation and severe self-injurious behavior associated with amphetamine psychosis - ScienceDirect
  3. I recently read some article about it(2 of the warning tower vanished). One MP in Phuket, questioned the govt. And the provincial governor answered that that these things are now under repair, and will be put back to its location after maintenance works are over. Bangkok Post - MP demands explanation over tsunami warning towers
  4. Hi, exact cause of the accident is not pinpointed. But it is outrageous that the driver physically attacked the injured man(who cannot move or resist). That is why those bystanders felt provoked. That response itself, looks pretty humane; confronting the violent stranger to protect the vulnerable under physical attack. That's why I call it Valor. Whose Fault was it? It is not an issue here. It is police job to find out.
  5. Freedom of movement, as well as the idea of sparing the cost of taxi. Often comes with serious results; losing limbs, or their lives.
  6. Dream holiday, ended up as the one way journey to this kingdom. Numbers of foreigners died of traffic accidents here: 536 in 2022(and 7885 injured). He is now part of the grim new statistics. RIP...
  7. D.T. recently defied Freedom of Speech in US though. He refused the entry of French Scientist who criticized him.

  8. Thais often exercise strong sense of justice and, valor. When I met a dog attack while in public market(more than a decade ago), the nearby shop keeper stepped in. He banged the nasty dog with his fist, and drove it away.
  9. Idiotic violence, should be met by controlled violence. That's the only way pea brains learn; pain is the only language they can understand.
  10. I have been to Phuket just once. During my first visit to this kingdom, back in 98. And I stayed there(on Patong Beach) just one day. I was lucky that that sea surge didn't take place at that time...
  11. One question out of my curiosity, to the Phuket resident. How far is the closest hill(high enough to survive in case of Tsunami) from the beach?
  12. There are 2 of them in my neighborhood. The one that ate my money was closer to home. And it already did it twice in the past month. Another(right and square, never took any coins for no water) is bit further away. I thinks I better go to the latter, from now on. And have you had any problems with your stomach with the water from these machines? About a decade ago, I have read some report about the quality of the bottled water. It said no real difference from the coin fountain...
  13. Thailand Hit with 36% Tax Tariff is paid by the importers, not by exporters. Should rather say Americans/US importers.
  14. In other words, Trump policy will simply promote even greater Industrial Hollowing in USA? As the result of his unrealistic level of tariff. US lacks the capability to locally produce the goods(that used to be imported) fast enough.,  Even if some might did, the cost of end products will be absurd (unsellable in US). Then both of the makers and importers will desert US market. And the United States of America will eventually suffer the dire shortage of both consumer and capital goods, that were once abundant. Quite a chilly forecast...
  15. Major Thai exports to USA. Office machines and car parts, broadcasting equipment, semiconductor devices, natural rubber... And this kingdom is the world's 9th largest exporter to America. Thailand's major export to usa - Google Search So, if US cuts Thai exports by heavier import duties, supplies of these goods to Thai domestic market will increase(therefore price will go down?). I remember one similar phenomenon in the past. When previous military regime met EU's import ban, price of Thai seafood(leading Thai exports to Europe) went down.
  16. Does he really know Who Pays the Tariff? It is the importers of the foreign goods. Not the exporters. So higher tariff means, greater amount of financial burden(Import Taxes) on own population.
  17. Today's lunch: Pat See You(Soy sauce flavored pan-fried noodle) with vegetables. One of the well-known Thai dishes. Ingredients: Yellow thick noodle, bean sprouts, cabbage, carrot, spinach. Toppings: Peanuts, fresh cucumber, and tomato, and Cape Kah Moo(deep fried pork skin). Seasonings: Chicken stock, pepper, soy, oyster, and fish sauce,
  18. Yes, you are right. I have bought water from such machines for ages. And have never fallen ill, from it. I always boil it(to make my tea). So no hygienical problems. The only issue is, they sometimes eat coins for nothing; not dispensing any water while taking money. And it happened yesterday...
  19. It simply doesn't function in the first place; it rejects me usage. And when I reported it at CNX immigration office, they said that they couldn't find out why. They told me to go to BKK immigration to know Why. I am reluctant to spend extra time and cost(to travel 800km), so I simply do 90day report in person.
  20. Looks like carrying a few weeks' worth of emergency rations. Like camels' humps.
  21. Yes, they do. However, frequency of the filter change is not consistent. In some places, it is replaced once every 3 months though.
  22. to the benefit of the world(other than China, N/Korea).
  23. The deserted island. Easier for China to take over. If they remove own population from that area, need to place combat units(with anti-air warfare capability) instead. Otherwise, their island can be occupied bloodlessly. And it will be eventually used against them(Taiwan and Japan).
