With all the slow-moving roadworks, I am surprised MAKRO hasn't shut down. I've given up a couple of times after waiting half an hour at Chaiapruek lights.

It's all part of the deal hammered out in secret which has ensured a new PM and the return of Thaksin.

I used the ChatGPT button at the top of the page to translate a sentence in an article on AI. I don't know how accurate it is but I am using it to translate my Thai Tales anthology for a Thai audience. กิจกรรมที่น่าตื่นเต้นที่เป็นเวลาสี่วันตั้งแต่วันที่ 15 ถึงวันที่ 18 สิงหาคม พ.ศ. 2566 ซึ่งเป็นการแสดงความเป็นผู้นำระดับโลกของสหราชอาณาจักรในการประยุกต์ใช้ปัญญาประดิษฐ์ (AI)

Would you go through Thai Customs at the airport wearing a 110,000,000 baht watch?

AKA Kerching.

At the top of the home page is a button ChatGPT. I asked it to translate a sentence from this article; this is its answer; - กิจกรรมที่น่าตื่นเต้นที่เป็นเวลาสี่วันตั้งแต่วันที่ 15 ถึงวันที่ 18 สิงหาคม พ.ศ. 2566 ซึ่งเป็นการแสดงความเป็นผู้นำระดับโลกของสหราชอาณาจักรในการประยุกต์ใช้ปัญญาประดิษฐ์ (AI). I don't know how accurate it is. I have used it to translate one of my published short stories in the hope of finding a Thai market.

I didn't think anything - I asked a simple question. So are licences from India and Africa acceptable? Are there any countries which are on Thailand's forbidden list of drivers?

51% immediately?

Except in money matters, Thais have the memory of aging goldfish; they've already forgotten what he said.

Or get back to work?

'Srettha will likely get more than enough votes to become the country’s 30th prime minister' - Despite Chuvit's best efforts.

Nothing funny about General Rolex being PM.

I am red with embarrassment. I rely more & more on spell-checkers as my brain cells are drowned in gin (rummy.)

I had my day in court & was awarded 25% of my house's value after paying huge sums to Thai legal companies.

'Pattaya Police inspected ‘Damond Club Pattaya’ and ‘Jacky Karaoke’, both of which were found to be following the rules and operating legally.' Forewarned is fore-armed.

How did she get a licence? Are Chinese allowed to use their own country's licence in Thailand?

AI will never replace good old-fashioned bribery.

Nodding dogs. Why are they 'impatient'? They get paid a monthly salary to say yes when ordered.

Thaksin was deposed by an army coup; the same generals are still running the country irrespective of the election. If I were Thaksin I'd continue to enjoy my ill-gotten games in Dubai & fly my friends/family out for frequent visits.

The proposed ferry/yacht terminal in Pattaya will only take 3 years and they haven't even started dividing up the 'commissions' yet.

Like the farang owning a house scam?

They should bring in airfare increases for overweight passengers too by weighing them AND their luggage. I once got charged 90 UKP for excess baggage then spent the next 14 hours wedged between layers of overspill flesh from the passengers next to me. A cab driver should be allowed to refuse a drunk fare if there is a likelihood of vomit; a motorbike taxi should be allowed to refuse an overweight passenger if he feared for the equilibrium of his vehicle.

I singled out drainage chambers which is hardly scattergun. 'Curtailing the movement of humans would be more effective than all the insecticide you can lay your hands on.' How does one do this? Lockdown?

Especially those pretending to be police; real or not.

Help for the police; he's at his mother's.
