  1. A ballistic missile launched from Iran entered Turkish airspace on Monday and was shot down by NATO defenses, the Turkish defense ministry said in a statement. It was the second time in six days that Turkey announced the interception of a missile from Iran. Debris from the missile fell in the area of the city of Gaziantep, near Turkey’s southern border with Syria, the statement said. No injuries were reported. There was no immediate comment from Iran. Allison Hart, a NATO spokeswoman, said the alliance had again intercepted a missile heading to Turkey. “NATO stands firm in its readiness to defend all Allies against any threat,” she said. If the defence systems failed and the missiles hit a Turkish city this does then become 3rd world war. That is unless Nato is the toothless tiger.
  2. Trump has no sense of shame. No guardrails. IMHO he has dark impulses. Putin must be so happy with his efforts so far. Trump would have earned my respect if he'd invaded Iran. TACO again.... He will lose the midterms this year I would think!
  3. As the title suggests, I crash tested the new mini 5 pro drone. It was a lot of fun but disappointed with the gimble stuck errors and another error on the Thai / Cambodia border. Let me know what you think..
  4. On the day of the feast I think the elephants disagree with you. They are gorging out on all that fruit. But afterwards I probably agree with you.
  5. I visited the Phanom Rung temple in the Buriram province and leant about the story of a stolen lintel in the 1960s that ended up in a museum in Chicago U.S. I decided to do a 2 part series on this temple and highly recommend that you visit it sometime. If you dont want to walk up hundreds of steps enter via exit 3 gate. Its the rear entrance direct into the temple. I have included some drone footage in the video. Let me know what you think. cheers The Life of a durian man
  6. If you are interested in seeing how thousands of Thai people are living in shelters due to the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand then take a look at this video. I visited 2 sites after receiving authority to do so. I interviewed organisers and the people who send a clear message to the Cambodian government.
  7. please send me the website or link. I cant find them. thanks. or google map link
  8. In my video I mention thai's getting their drivers license out of a cereal box
  9. I just did a video about dangerous drivers on Thai Roads. I address this issue. Channel name 'The life of a durian man'
  10. I recently attended the Surin elephant festival in Isan. I made a video about the elephant feast specifically. I couldn't tolerate going to the stadium to see the circus act with the elephants. Let me know what you think
  11. Thanks for watching and your feedback. So that I can improve next time, re the music, was it too loud or bad choice? What exactly did you like about it. many thanks
  12. I published a new video discussing the dangers of driving on Thai roads. You’ll see real dashcam footage and photos I’ve captured from my own car, showing the everyday reality on Thai roads: overloaded trucks, reckless overtaking, drivers ignoring zebra crossings, and a general lack of road discipline. I also visit the Land Transport Department of Thailand to discuss the process of getting a driver’s license and why it’s often too easy. Together, we explore how poor driver education, unenforced speeding fines, and weak coordination between the Royal Thai Police and the Department of Land Transport contribute to Thailand’s high rate of road fatalities. Ultimately, this video is not just about criticism — it’s about finding real solutions to make Thailand’s roads safer for everyone.
  13. Just mention some names. dont be so paranoid. Its an anonymous forum! haha
  14. good on you. may I ask what exercise you are doing everyday. time and km?
  15. I suspect that when Trump dies, all details of his private social life/ exploits with Epstein will come out. He will be America's version of the Uk's Jimmy Savile. It will be a shame that he didn't have to spend a day in prison same as Savile. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/12/jeffrey-epstein-new-emails-donald-trump
  16. Many of you might remember the moderator Ubon Joe who died a few yrs ago. A long time ago I was in contact with him. He helped me get a work permit without having to submit company documents. My wife and I ran a business via my wifes personal name (not a company). I was then able to go on and apply for Citizenship using this WP. I made a video about this and dedicated the video to him. Its the ultimate guide for applying for Thai Citizenship
  17. Here's a happy and sad ending story about the 3 dogs that I adopted in Thailand. My first one I adopted more than 10 yrs ago is still alive but maybe its his last year due to ill health. The other 2 double trouble dogs you can see in the video. One died recently.
  18. Yes it does. I discuss this in my video if you are interested:
  19. This is the newest model. I did a video on it if you are interested. Also did another one about the exam etc.
  20. hi I published a video on my channel: Ive done another one on the exam etc. You are best to buy the newest model in my opinion. This mini 5 pro is excellent.
  21. well said. imagine what the generals were actually thinking to themselves whilst sitting there listening to that fox news host. what a joke.
  22. They didnt specify to us at the time but we had 4 anyway bc our business was busy. I think its only 2 required in this case.
  23. May I ask further info about yr comment? I have a green wise card. I have linked my UOB credit card to it. The other day I purchased some nepal cash and my UOB was debited. I was just testing it out. Why do you say kasikorn is best thanks
  24. Ive been living in Thailand for 12 years. Many years ago I contacted the legendary moderator named 'Ubon Joe' who was a visa specialist on the url: thaivisa.com As you probably know, he sadly died 2.5 years ago. Thanks to his advice I will be getting Thai citizenship in the next few years. The reason I originally contacted him was that I wanted to get Thai Citizenship. I was married and had a small business with my wife but we didn't have a company structure. When we first started our business my wife and I didn't want to start a limited company and register for VAT. We first wanted to see if our business would be successful. Anyways, with Joe's help we came up with a plan which is discussed in the attached video. I successfully obtained the WP and have used this WP to be accepted in the Thai Citizenship program. I will also be doing a video about tips for applying for Thai citizenship, on the basis of marriage to a Thai national, in the next few months. I think many expats married to Thai nationals will find this video useful. Most visa agents, attorneys and youtubers think that its only possible to get a WP via a company structure and this is not the case in the context of being married to a Thai. Thanks for watching on your tube channel. Click on the bottom left corner. Durian Man Thailand.
