The perfect example is the bandits among the Security Council member states. Waging war of invasion for territorial expansion. And building up military fortification in the middle of the Open Sea.

Political parties here. Often feels like organized crimes themselves.

My perception of this country. Pre-modern society with 20-21th century gadgets...

Never a Dull Moment?

By the way, what kind of charge will be layed against the waitress there? Guilty for serving F&V at the underground gambling site?

One puzzling phenomenon of the climate change. Draught and unusual level of downpour can happen at the same time in the adjoining areas. Might look strange, but having one same cause. It is the rising temperature. Higher(than usual) temperature sucks up more water from the ground(in one area). And then it goes up in the sky to form more clouds; more rain(in another area). That is How the Super Dry & Super Wet can take one after another.

With or Without foreign weirdo, Germany is forever haunted by their past. Israel gained the unbeatable diplomatic card in return for the death of 6 million of their comrades...

Do I sense any part of the actual climatical change on global scale in my daily life? Good question. My answer is:Yes. I have been in Chiang Mai(old city area), Thailand since mid Nov. 05. 19 years on since my settlement started. There is one thing I noticed in my term. What I have strongly felt is, more humidity than yesteryears(06-09..) during Dry Seasons here: November-March(compared to old days of my residency here). It is reflected upon my monthly power usage(for A/C in my room). In old time, in Dec-Jan, power meter usually moved only around 25/month. But in recent years, it never stays that low: At least 40 or more a month. It means I am feeling more humidity than years ago. And I also started to see more rain during the above season. For the first few years of my settlement here, very few rainy days during these months. I personally appreciate a bit of rain during Nov-Feb period as it serves natural air purifier, though. My experience seems to match part of the typical climatical change theory: Tropical regions are likely to be more cyclonic. Becoming more cyclonic means more humidity in the air. As the humidity is the vital driving force behind cyclone/typhoon. Let me get one thing clear. I am nothing like the supporter of the Green Peace/Sea Shepherd. I rather hate them strongly. I burry every single piece of my vegetable/fruit scrap to landlords' garden(they welcome it). Apple and potato peels are given to their rabbit. And apartment owner's family scoop that animal's scat to put it back to their soil to grow their plants.

Reminds me of this...

After all, did she walk all her way from home to Germany, not to emit extra CO2?

I presume she must be working for the Communist Party of China. When she talked about global emission things, she said that China is not to blame, stressing it is still in the state of developing. That one single phrase gave away whom she is really working for.

I have heard of the similar tale 15 years ago(in Chiang Mai). Some of the immigration cops offered the Backdoor Deal(related to the extension of retirement O) to 1st world foreigners. What he said is, 400B hassle free visa extension. No documents(other than valid passport)/questions asked... I, personally have never met any such man. Another tenant of the apartment talked about it to me.

Do you call the state of Florida(US) the 3rd world?

Thank you for your post in response to mine. Can you please allow me some fresh questions? I sometime hear about commercial establishment that is openly advertising 1st World Level Service by the 1st World staff/technicians. Do they make it possible by dodging the system/using legal loopholes? Such as putting up the Business Owner Just In Name(Thai national) for camouflage? I have heard of that method all the time since my settlement here though. Does that sort of practice (always) come with Under-The-Table transaction involving a Brown Envelop(with the local police/immigration? Some examples of the shops where the foreigners are working in the Prohibited Field. Unisex beauty saloons(There are quite a few of them).

First causalities of the climatical change on the global are the low-laying coastlines and islands. By the rising sea level. Some other part of the world is already affected bad enough. Australia started to accept refugees from the islands in the south Pacific. Australia offers refuge to Tuvaluans as rising sea levels threaten Pacific archipelago (france24.com) Looks pretty much like the cost of the modern comfort and conveniences we take for granted. There could be some natural cycle as well. But Human Input is undoubtfully acerating that sort of phenomenon. I really feel sorry that the fast and worst affected are often those in the 3rd World countries: They are usually much less consuming (by all means) than the 1st World population. But they are often forced to suffer more than the people who make the negative changes worse...

Senseless Singapore copycat policy. One of the worst stupid announcement ever made. Destroying one major tourist attraction of Thailand. Bureaucrats' Empty Pride always Do More Harm Than Good.

Yes, I can clearly hear the change of pace during its drive.

What is the ultimate aim of that bust? Rounding up illegal business/employment here? In order to protect domestic products from China's export surge? Or they wanted to use up their budget surplus by the year end(if that raid took place last month)? *Thai financial year is: Oct 1-Spt 30 next year

And how are things now(re:foreigners' gun ownership after political transition)? Did the new govt relax to any extent? Or still Prayuth rule applies? Is that issue impacted by the gun crime by the teen in BKK in recent months? Bangkok Post - Two dead in shopping mall shooting

Thank you. Looks like some people cannot tell the party involved LOL. In that topic: Thais=100% victim; Hamas' hostage Israel=Sweat shop operator to Thai workers & enemy to Palestinians in Gaza(also to Hamas) Hamas=Enemy to Israel that abducted Thai migrant workers during their raid

Musk's immigration status at the time of founding his first company, Zip2, remains murky. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in 1980s, I have heard that people could actually obtain US Permanent Residency(Green Card) through the backdoor at $10000- Unsure how true it really was. If anyone among you know much about it, please post.

the construction worker, whose identity has not been disclosed, was gathering his belongings and seeking refuge under cover as heavy rain began to fall in the area. Unfortunately, as he took shelter, a lightning strike hit the vicinity, resulting in his untimely death. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Might be an undocumented migrant worker from the neighboring country. Another sudden, tragic death of young life. Heartfelt condolences to the poor soul. Also sorry for his/her remaining family member back home. As well as their (financial) hardship to come(by the loss of earner). They might not be even able to know about the death of own son or father...

Thanks for your input regarding the historic change of Gun Laws in Thailand. Is it true that it was 1970s when Thai govt started to restrict foreigners' gun ownership here? That's something I read back in late 1970s.

Is Poo-tin plotting any terror attacks in Europe? Quite a silly thing to do. It will only cause adverse effect; their anti-Russia sentiment will only get stronger instead of weaker. Can lead to more aid to Ukraine.

There are always some criminal elements among the mass of refugees...
