Thailand

Kidnapping incidents linked to scam centers along the Thai-Myanmar border have significantly impacted Thailand's tourism industry, particularly affecting Chinese tourists. These kidnappings are often carried out by Chinese-speaking gangsters who lure victims with fake job offers or other schemes, then smuggle them across the border to work in scam operations in Myanmar. Friends in HK and China have confirmed this.

Enjoyed it - Wartime part - certainly not the Bridge On the River Kwai look at the death railway.

Gunslinger - probably the worst western ever but worth watching simply for that. A Working Man - Statham kills most of the Russian Mafia - again! Paradise - first episode quite good worth a watch if it continues in the same vein.

He meant Mad Men!

Brilliant Jon Hamm of "Suits" -only episode one but watching 2 tonight hopefully it continues in the same vein!

No surprise here. Orban is a dictator. Another Putin puppet and a thorn in the side of the EU.

Used to be the Good View in Mae Hia which changed to The View for obvious reasons. Much prefer it to the riverside one. The View is loud and ostentatious, very party atmosphere. Some dishes are good some so so. Plenty of entertainment predominately Thai style can get very busy. Great fun if you have guests from overseas.

They will end up with something nearer to this: Singapore requires citizens and permanent residents to pay an entry fee to enter casinos. As of 2019, the daily entry fee for locals is SGD 150, valid for 6 hours from the time of purchase. Additionally, locals can opt for an annual entry fee of SGD 3,000, which also allows for a maximum of 6 hours of casino access per day. Foreign visitors, however, do not need to pay an entry fee to enter the casinos.

Can still see Doi Suthep so definitely better this year.

Using it for sometime but recently been suffering from metallic mouth tried multiple "cures" mouth washes etc but thought Lispril may be the problem. Have consulted with doctors and dentists but no real success. Been worse since a bad case of Covid last year, any recommendations?

So you read the last sentence and decided to comment on that?

The man has very serious problems and is now probably a danger to himself and America. That video is pretty much disgusting and if you are commenting without seeing it don't. See it first and then decide. And probably created by one of Musk's child geeks and posted by Trump. Mitigating factor, his account may have been hacked but unlikely.

Cuts Overseas Aid Does that mean our pensions won't get the index linked increase again?

My post is 4 years old!

Don't have a good day! Bye.

Oh dear I was a little incorrect feel better now? Whatever-It works it is great, almost perfect

No, why would you assume that?

Any list will be heavily redacted but it will still be nothing more than a list. The real information is probably well protected by Maxwell, maybe why she is still alive.

MINI PC 8G HP Elite Desk 800 G1 DM i5-4590 RAM 8GB HDD 320GB Bought from Lazada last year around 2600baht works fine for my requirements.

Death In Paradise is back but the traditional whitey detective has been replaced by one who is not, par for the course nowadays, and apparently Selwyn is getting the push because of budgeting costs!

Apparently Musk's Grok 3 is a big step beyond what we have seen so far. Have used Grok 2 and it is good. hoping to try Grok 3 in the next day or two. But it does seem quite scary with rapid growth and moving in to the unknown with Super Intelligence , Living Intelligence etc which is something else again!

Out There- Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) Episode one a little slow but getting to know the characters, episode two warming up, episode three takes off! Will be watching the remaining. episodes tomorrow

He does have a desirable beachside property coming available although I think Gaza might be a leap too far for Thailand.
