But you are in BKK and nobody wants to be the first to change.

It is a bit difficult for me, as I AM the only farang in the village.

Titanic Survivor tells his story.
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Really? Then why is the Titanic on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean never having completed its maiden voyage? https://www.history.com/topics/early-20th-cent The RMS Titanic, a luxury steamship, sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912, off the coast of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic after sideswiping an iceberg during its maiden voyage. Of the 2,240 passengers and crew on board, more than 1,500 lost their lives in the disaster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMHS_Britannic On the morning of 21 November 1916 she was shaken by an explosion caused by a naval mine of the Imperial German Navy near the Greek island of Kea and sank 55 minutes later, killing 30 people. There were 1,066 people on board; the 1,036 survivors were rescued from the water and lifeboats. Britannic was the largest ship lost in the First World War.[3] -
Joe Biden’s latest gaffe plays right into Republicans’ hands

Should a well known and proven liar be allowed to stay in place for 4 years? Ex president Trump was and he still continues his lies today, nearly 2 years after he lost the popular vote and the college vote. -
That is certainly not strictly correct, in rural Kamphaeng Phet where more and more Thais stop wearing them on a daily/weekly basis.

Whilst I carry a mask when I am out, I only wear it in the banks and shopping malls. I haven't worn one in 7/11 for ages and nobody has objected or edged away from me.

Justice, political satisfactions and lessons that must be learned
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
To be fair to Thaksin, he did make a declaration of his wealth, even if he did lie. OTOH, Prayuth has refused point blank to do so. Prayuth's advantage is that he has friends in higher places than Thaksin ever did. But that cannot and will not last forever. -

Of course it was the dogs fault or that of the owner, who of course would never admit to it. You need to face reality. -

You are the sad one. A 15 year old is dead because of a soi dog. Proton is absolutely correct in his post. There are literally millions of soi dogs running free in Thailand. They are a pest, a health hazard and a general hazard and need exterminating and NOT spaying, snipping or feeding. -

I have just snipped the KBank Forex rate GBP/THB for the last 7 days. On Monday it sank like a stone and by yesterday it was back to the previous weeks levels. Odd that, innit? -
Mystery leaks hit Russian undersea gas pipelines to Europe
billd766 replied to Scott's topic in World News
Does it not occur to you that the leaders of EVERY country in the world do not really know, in depth, every subject that they have to deal with? They ALL have advisers who they call on for each subject, and the advisers, who do know their subject intimately, will then give advice and opinions to the leaders and their cabinets. Then there will be a discussion at cabinet level (way above your grade and mine), and a decision will be made. So it is NOT a case of the POTUS getting up one morning and saying, let us blow up the pipeline (the subject under discussion) or invade country X, Y or Z. I know from your posts that you could never do President Biden's job, nor could I, or the millions of other ordinary people, yet you keep blaming President Biden for anything and everything. You have no facts and no idea of what is going on, so you reply with links and quotes. So do I, but what we sometimes forget is that most of the reports and links are only the reporters opinions and may not resemble the truth. -
Biden’s APEC no-show seen as a blow to Thai government’s credibility
billd766 replied to anchadian's topic in General Topics
You do have a nasty bias against him. Why would he need to know where Koh Samui is? Then again, I doubt that you are are capable of doing his job anyway. -

And that saved how many millions of lives? IF, and it is a big IF, Putin does push the button, depending on what sort of weapon is used, will depend on the response returned. If a battlefield tactical weapon is used then the allies would probably use the same. IF Putin uses an ICBM, then the majority of, at least European Russia will cease to exist as we know it today. It also depends on the lower ranking generals and the troops below them who know that they are already targeted so they possibly may ignore the order. IMHO and it is only my personal opinion is that Putin has completely lost the plot and is certifiably insane and off his trolley. -
I bought mine at the local pharmacy and they called it an ATK kit. Stuffing the cotton wool covered stick up my nose made my eyes water and I wanted to sneeze. Other than that they are not expensive and are easy to use and read.
