  1. Thank you for the links.
  2. Was anything actually proven? Do you have a link for that?
  3. You would prefer Zelensky to be jailed for life for defending his country, but fail to mention Putin, who is far far worse, and started the war in the first place. Biased much?
  4. If Thaksin was born in Thailand of a Thai mother, then he is Thai. The government CANNOT strip Thaksin of his Thai citizenship and make him stateless as that is against Thai and international law.
  5. If these neo-nasties are so brave, why are they wearing masks?
  6. When I go to the local pharmacy, the lady comes from behind the counter and helps me down the 3 steps and I get a genuine smile. The post office manager does the same for me when I simply buy a bottle of OTOP honey. The staff in the local supermarket ask what I want and fetch it for me. To me it is like the UK used to be 50 or 60 years ago. To me (at 80) the Thai people are always kind, helpful and smile genuine smiles. Perhaps because I am old, perhaps because I live in rural Thailand and not in a tourist area. Perhaps because I am polite, smile a lot and try to speak Thai if I can. I have no idea, but I am grateful and thankful for the attention.
  7. Rubbish. Poster says quite confidently, with only the OP post to go on, that the boy is on something else as well. Nothing was mentioned in the OP about any other substance. so how did the second poster know without examining the 15 year old. AFAIK it is impossible to examine and diagnose a patient from a keyboard, unless of course you know more than any other doctor and have all the results of all the lab tests. Si in your learned opinion, can you confirm that the 15 year old was on other drugs, and if so, which ones?
  8. Why should he care? It is not his country or his people.
  9. I can remember in the early1990s, putting a fan heater in my car in the morning to thaw out the windows inside and outside before I could drive to work. At 80 years old, both me and my arthritic knees don't like the cold weather any more.
  10. Wow Dr Cereal. So you personally did a complete physical drug check on him and found other substances as well? Where did you get your medical degree, Khao San Road?
  11. A gold star for excellent forward planning. He deserves at least that.
  12. Why not get rid of all those who claim benefits illegally which is theft. Jail them and stop their pensions and benefit claims for life, especially those that live offshore. The problem won't be solved completely, but it will be a start.
  13. Looking at that photo makes me feel a bit like Twiggy. (She was an English model in the UK during the 1960s).
  14. And if you knew what would you do about it? Tilting at windmills went out of fashion years ago.
  15. I do enjoy watching the courts of social injustice, who truly believe that they are above the laws of the land. To them proof is not necessary. If someone mentions anything on the social media, then it must be true and acted on immediately. Proof is not necessary to them, as the accused (in their eyes) are already guilty, and must get the harshest punishment.
  16. Try doing an internet search. There are about 5 or more sites of dealers about tents in Thailand and at least one of them should be able to help you out, Tell them what you are looking for and they may have it or something similar, or be able to put you in touch with helpful groups. tents in Thailand was the search term I used.
  17. IMHO he/she/it is simply trying to get attention, probably because the umber of pointless threads it has started are not getting it enough attention.
  18. No they didn't. The politicians that make the laws might have done, but the UK people don't make the law, politicians do. As for the OP Why blame the police in the first place? They are only doing their job as laid down.
  19. And how do you KNOW it is not correct. You are not the PM, so you have no idea what she actually thinks, no more than I or anyone else does. It is your opinion, just as my opinion is mine. Do your family always agree to everything you say or do, or are they allowed to be different?
  20. Here is a bottomless money bucket, money is poured in and simply wasted on maintenance. I am sure that a better use can be found for the money, After all my Benz is nearly a year old and needs replacing soon.
  21. No Thai PM is elected by the Thai people at all. When an election is held, the party with the most seats gets the chance to form a government. If they have an overwhelming majority, then the form the new government. If they don't have a majority, then they form a coalition government. If however they still cannot get enough seats to form a majority, then after a period of time, the party with the next highest number of seats is offered the same opportunity to form a coalition. If they can get a majority of seats then they become the government. As for who becomes the PM a number of names from the winning parties are submitted by each party executive, (3 I think per party) and one of them is chosen. The public are NOT consulted or vote on who that will be. A person is appointed (usually from the party with the most seats) and then becomes the PM. So she has no experience. So what? How do you think people gain experience in a job they have never done before? As for your term that she has no skill, that is simply your opinion and not that of the people who appointed her. She is not expected to know everything, which is why PM's and executives everywhere have advisors who are specialists in their own subjects.
  22. The voice of experience perhaps.
  23. Do you not think that I would have said that if that actually was what I wanted to say. Please try not to put your thoughts and words into what I said. They don't fit, and I did NOT say that at all. I said what I meant to say, which is not necessarily what you think I should have said. It is my opinion and not yours.
