I don't know about spoilsports but liars yes. Bought and paid.

Yes Frisco kid. Imagine it will be ffffabulousss 🌈🥂🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Again, thanks Nothing

Thanks 👍 Put me down as COVID anti vaxxer as well.

I guess I have my answer. Nothing

I'm really aghast at Harris. I wouldn't vote for her for PTA president. Putting aside she's not Trump. What are explicit accomplishments she's made that would sway people to vote for her? Do you believe she's a leader? A great orator? A wise bureaucrat? Deep knowledge of either domestic or International politics.. both? She strikes me as wholly incompetent. Understand it's not Trump but why not Gabbard or JFK. I would vote for either over Trump The fact that she hasn't held a press conference or anyone asking a question in weeks is extremely telling While they could have brought in Tulsi Gabbard or JFK instead...it's this hack of a woman and DEI option. Of course, Biden/Harris money shifts to her...90M. Please bullet point your responses. I guess I'm just having a laugh at all of the posters trying to contort a position that she somehow up for the job when in reality she shouldn't even be managing a group of Senate interns

Yeah, those covid models were epic 555555555

I guess what I'm missing here and you have not mentioned whatsoever is my part in this. I've been to Nepal, Pakistan Himalaya / Hindu Kush, Ladakh, Spiti, Kinnuar..and Tibet twice. While there is loads of snow and many of these regions. The Tibetan plateau that you've mentioned has little or no moisture / water. This is a total red herring. Tibetan plateau lol Glaciers definitely melting. Edit: Tibetan plateau receives at most 12 in a year in rainfall. You can get that in 3 hours and in a given day in Thailand. It's absolutely nothing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Plateau Finally sorry.. The Washington Post doesn't print facts. I guess I should give Obama a ring and let him know that his mansion is going to be underwater in 20 years

One of those scammers that charge a sanitizing fee (to farang) no doubt 😆

If anyone is wondering why the number of members has dropped to an all-time low. This article would be much of the reason. I'm waiting for the website to change and put up unicorns and rainbows. We can't be that far off can we?

Bar thugs do. Most certainly. Many years ago I was drinking in a beer bar I drank in many times before. I felt comfortable enough to give the woman a 500 or 1, 000b now knowing full well this is not what one should do. Sure enough the cashier short changed me. I have been in Pattaya long enough to know to not even touch the tray and send it back asking to be recounted. The woman was caught out and I guess I given her one too many evil eyes and the course of only a few minutes. Despite me having a full beer she ordered me out of the beer bar. You go! I didn't think she had any right to do that, I did nothing wrong so while I was more than willing to leave I was going to finish my beer first. Within minutes set upon by three or four thugs and they came at me for my backside and pulled me off my chair. One of them actually took the steel chair, swung it at my face. I was extremely lucky in it only caught me between my eyes but did gash me. I think they also had some other weapon. The police weren't interested in doing anything about it. Like NOTHING Later, back in my apartment and speaking with a hairstylist that worked across the street. She told me.. I told you never to drink in that bar it's mafia. She never told me any such thing.. That woman at the cashier and those thugs are not good people. There's no shortage of these types of Pattaya. Everyone goes on about how lovely Thai people are and there's no doubt they can be but there is definitely a darker side to this nation.

The Chinese AGAIN Oh, no ... Sorry... Suicide 🙄

Agreed. Oceans appear to consistently be warming. It doesn't mean I am responsible for ANY of it. 4-5 years ago the weather was quite as I remember decades ago. It's not been especially hot year in Bangkok 2024 imo. One thing I think we know from covid models that can be extrapolated to global warming models is that the scientists are just paid shills. These models didn't work at all and don't work. Leftist Propaganda

Thailand is according to the article 1% of the world's global warming I don't know what that means but it's 1%. Behind the scenes you can see Thailand trying to maneuver into the so-called green technologies. Money Best thing that Thailand could do insofar as saving the world is stopping the burning up country and stopping the plastic being dumped in the ocean from fishing boats in particular. This is such a laff and not surprised by woke aseannow. Not surprised these years. If this were real and serious why are private planes still being used? Yachts?! Rules for thee but not for me. Remember...70s we were all going to get another ice age? Then it was acid rain, next ozone layer. Blah blah blah. Cow farts lol. Remember? Cows don't even fart (rarely). Now, many farmers are calling BS and the propaganda machine has changed to cow burps. Denmark is already charging 100 euro a head EVs are such a laff on so many levels. Now, THAT'S toxic pollution. What it i really is - an army of elites redirecting the future into their pockets. EV farce are such a bs thing on a dozen levels. Huge waste of money. Solar and wind is a joke. Carbon tax lol. Got any of that cheap coastal property that's going under in next few years? I'm a buyer 👍 Telling poor and working people, those without children, modest homes they need to suck it up and pay more. It's always about more taxes. All this gay, tranny, illegal immigration, endless wars rubbish is purposely there to cloud and confuse while the lizards continue to steal the people's money and the future. Then you have opportunist Israel genocide that's also provided cover from it's ensuing chaos. All smokescreen for the lizard people. The elite want to kill us all off. Their nwo for their kids will be run with AI, robotics and all the water, petroleum, etc they can squander from the world. I bet there's 200 years worth of petroleum, gas in the ground relatively easy to be extracted. The West is going to get a rude awakening and I couldn't be happier. Go cry to your DEI HR representative

I hit the 25% tax bracket half of my ten years working here. Another five years probably around 15-20% Receive absolutely nothing I'm aware of in return.

When I used to camp several sites my gear was half all that easily - on my back (extra bag for food). Seems like a huge amount of gear for short stays as it would appear.

Not been able to camp in Similans for years. I don't camp up north but would imagine some of these places are ok. Certainly not my picks for best. Many offshore natl parks are now closed to camping unfortunately. Camping season = cool season.

You're obviously know nothing about Buddhism. Because... Tibetans, Ladakhis, Bhutanese arguably the most conservative Buddhists in the world. That might crush the reality of many yoga instructors and New age - crystal types on islands in south lol

I've learned how unappreciative and indifferent Thailand is towards foreign expat presence. It is perfectly legal and acceptable for industries to discriminate against us foreigners. Not simply tourists, but those who have lived years in Thailand, have family in Thailand. Not simply for National Park entrance fees (which can add up to consider both sums with a long stay), but more importantly the hospitals which are already prone to gouge us - fully legal and allowed. Continual and habitual whining and complaining about TOURIST revenue sources from abroad yet completely ignore our contribution. This is born out by the fact how difficult it is to conduct any personal business from banking to the government dealings. Even a bringing in as little as b40,000 pm is still double that of a typical wage earning Thai. Therefore the contribution is double that of perhaps 65% of the country. Foreigners are disallowed from owning a tiny plot of land and home despite Thailand providing and will be success for these individuals to be in country. All visas without exception are non-immigrant. It is virtually impossible to get permanent residency and especially citizenship. All sorts of stupid and ridiculous barriers are set up to sabotage the effort. It's basically old retirees and expatriots with exceptionally well paying jobs that can take a stab at PR and citizenship. It seems almost since the beginning of the entrance of Chinese into the tourist market Thailand has been beset with all sorts of criminal and cultural problems. Including a pervasive kidnapping problem as well as call centers. Only love here. Thailand continues to lower the barrier of entry to the country for these people. Starting a business since ridiculously complicated and needlessly expensive. It is impossible to now gain Thai government insurance for a former teachers unless that person can be placed in a yellow book which means they must be for their spouse must be a homeowner. We often support wives that many have been cast off in marriages as well as their children. Despite smelling like a rose and dressed well the last empty seat on any transport conveyance will be next to us.. the farang Now, the tax bullsxx+, tax worldwide income.. A case in point to the jingoism: recently there was banter about condo ownership/ raising the quota of foreigners. The typical yellow shirts came out... Xenophobia and jingoism ... The actual fact of the matter is that not one more Foreigner will be added to the condo rolls due to this adjustment. There are scant few condos in which foreigners are bumping up against the limit. I would argue further that these are condos in which ties would NEVER want to live in anyway If I wasn't married I would be out of here in a flash. As an expatriate of some nearly 35 years I would entirely discourage anyone from setting down roots in this country. It's only going to get worse.

When asking for directions Don't ask in Thai unless you can understand the response Ask precisely where something is or how to get there. Do not point or offer anything like is it this way or that way left or right. This is indeed because if the person doesn't know they will just agree with you. This is the Asian way and not necessarily particular to Thailand

Solution is to move out of Nirun and into a 8000k+ condo. You're welcome 🤗

You're well advised to stay absolutely clear of Thai politics.

He stated smart, well accomplished - she is? Of course he didn't list even one of those accomplishments. She is just an absolute, typical, blood sucking Democrat. The only white appeal she has is to homosexuals and cat ladies. Well, her word salad would indicate she is a blithering idiot, but she did pass the California bar which is no mean feat. Personally, I have never seen a more uninspiring Dem candidate since perhaps Mondale or Dukakis. No worries, there will be a medical emergency, she will step down and Hillary will step in to save the day.

Wow. This is your observation of Kamala Harris? Obtuse

Can you provide one example of her being witty and another of her being eloquent. I have never known her to be either. Thank you
