  1. The next step should be the total destruction of ALL the Israeli nuclear weapons and facilities.
  2. Great plan. Murder 80 million people and don't care where the nuclear radiation fallout goes afterwards.
  3. But one way only. No return on the same aircraft. Economy class and they saved money on the flight and cabin crew salaries too.
  4. It is cumbersome now. The last time I did it was through Hong Kong and that was easy until HMPO refused to accept my Thai KBank debit card and I had to scrabble around on the phone to the UK and find a friend to pay it for me, Then call HMPO back and speak to the same person who OK'ed it. Then I had the hassle of transferring the money back to my friend.
  5. Very true, taken on its own. However if you compare your cost by doing it yourself in time, hotel and fuel costs, that 5,000 odd baht comes in at a lot less, and a lot less hassle. The agent earned his fee, and don't forget somebody from his staff had to deliver and collect the passport on my behalf, plus pay the passport fees in the UK.
  6. After, of course, Israel had already attacked Iran at the Iranian embassy in Damascus. Hypocritical? Of course. However I would expect nothing less of Israel under the current murderous PM, Netanyahu and his equally hand picked, murderous war cabinet. From the BBC News website this morning, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68812884 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68813496 And if Israel had not attacked the Iranian consulate and murdered the Iranian generals in the first place, this probably would not have happened.
  7. I renewed my UK passport last month using Thai Visa express. I live about 350km from Bangkok. I paid 11,000 baht to the agency (that included the passport fee in the UK as well) and I sent everything they required by EMS which cost me 42 thb. My new passport was returned in 19 days. My total travel distance was 12 km. I did not need to go to Bangkok at all, let alone twice, a distance of 1,400 to 1,500 km, nor did I need to spend 2 nights in a hotel. IMHO unless you actually live in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, why would go to the trouble, hassle and expense of doing it the hard way. My friend did it all himself from Pattaya. He was missing his residence certificate the . and was rejected for that. The second try was accepted but then there was a problem with his card and his daughter had to pay for him. He made a total of 3 trips to get it done in the end. Mine took the same prep work, 20 minutes travel time, 10 minutes at the post office plus 42 thb for the EMS.
  8. Probably for the same reasons that people quote the Koran and Mohammed from 1,400 years ago.
  9. Thus speaks the greatest authority on world wide laws in any country in the world.
  10. Facts and details spoil the stirring up of the hatred that some posters have.
  11. From the BBC News website this morning. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-middle-east-68737710?src_origin=BBCS_BBC Probably not the smartest thing that Iran could have done. I wonder if Iran or the USA will follow up on it?
  12. Thank you. I haven't been to the UK in 20 years, I dumped all my UK bank accounts and credit/debit cards years ago.
  13. Anutin is a politician. Ethics are ethics. Ethics and politicians are rarely found inhabiting the same space, in any country.
  14. But can you book a hotel in the UK using a Thai credit/debit card?
  15. Well, that is a fairly meaningless response. But that in your own words is simply your opinion. Are people not allowed to have their own opinions any more.
  16. It seems to be OK with the USA for Israel to attack Iran in a third country, but NOT OK for Iran to retaliate. Double standards anyone> All Iran needs to do is keep threating Israel, thus keeping them on a costly high alert, without actually doing anything.
  17. It depends if they are Myanmar army troops, or the anti government alliance who are the ones fighting for the freedom of all Myanmar citizens from the military coup of 2021
  18. Not to mention that there is a complete lack of public toilets in Thailand. The only ones that I can think of are the toilets at gas stations, and there are not many of those around soi 4.
  19. I believe that there is, or used to be a Red Cross Hospital at Sri Racha. An old friend used to use it when he lived in Jomtien. I can't ask him because he moved up to Loie and we lost contact about 3 years ago.
  20. 55555 Did you not know that I was also issued with a Lee Enfield .303 rifle and later an SLR 7.62 mm SLR automatic rifle. I can't be bothered to answer any more of your silly questions, when innocent men women and children are being murdered and genocide is carried out in Gaza on a daily basis. Come back with a decent post and I may answer, or not.
  21. Nice try once again but just as untrue as the last time you said it. Now if I said that it is a good idea to kill ALL the Palestinians in Gaza, would that make me a pro semite in your eyes? That will NEVER happen. As far as I am concerned, both Hamas and the Israeli government/IDF are the evil twins of each other. That is NOT the same as ALL the Israeli people or ALL the Palestinian people. If you cannot understand that there is no hope for you.
  22. Nice twist to my words. NO, I did NOT join the military to kill women and children. If I had been ordered to whilst I was still in the military, I hope I would have the courage to refuse that order. That is the same answer that I gave when I replied to your hypothetical question that you asked earlier. From what I remember from my 25 years in the military, I don't believe that any officer or SNCO would have issued that order anyway.
  23. That IS the answer to your question. Do you really think that the IDF would admit to it as the truth? I have no idea why you are asking that question of me or anyone else on AN who get their information from the same sources that you do. Which of course is the internet. I doubt if anyone on AN has actually been to Gaza since October. I doubt if the Israeli government or the IDF, would even allow them entry to the occupied country and especially to the areas that the IDF are fighting over. Do you? You asked a question and I answered it as best I could and honestly. If you don't like my answer, that is not my problem.
