BREAKING NEWS! Iran potentially triggers World War 3
billd766 replied to george's topic in The War in Israel
Of course it is easy to say. Much like murdering innocent Palestinian men women and children is easy. Stopping that happening is a hard part, and stopping that happening forever is harder than that. What sensible suggestions do you have for stopping it? -

Thank you for a common sense response. -
BREAKING NEWS! Iran potentially triggers World War 3
billd766 replied to george's topic in The War in Israel
Again IMHO, getting rid of Netanyahu and his government which is the biggest stumbling block, will also go a long way to getting rid of the next stumbling block which is Hamas and all of its government. The biggest part after that will be to find enough sensible and powerful people on both sides to say that enough is enough. Too many people have died for NO good reason on either side. The hatred and distrust on both sides must stop, and both Israelis and Palestinians HAVE to live and work side by side -
BREAKING NEWS! Iran potentially triggers World War 3
billd766 replied to george's topic in The War in Israel
So what. They were still Iranians citizens in a third country. Israel attacked Iran first Iran retaliated as they could and should. Israel runs crying to the UN and whines about the Iranian retaliation. Israel has ignored so many UN resolutions, and yet they want UN support NOW. Perhaps attacking the Iranians in Syria was not the brightest thing that Israel could have done. -

Sadly IMHO I don't think that will happen as long as Netanyahu and his murderous handpicked war cabinet is running Israel. -

The next step should be the total destruction of ALL the Israeli nuclear weapons and facilities. -

Great plan. Murder 80 million people and don't care where the nuclear radiation fallout goes afterwards. -
Worst Joke Ever 2025

But one way only. No return on the same aircraft. Economy class and they saved money on the flight and cabin crew salaries too. -
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.

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.

Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
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. -
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.

Joe Biden expects Iran to attack Israel 'sooner than later'
billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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? -
Why Only a Visa Debit Card?

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. -

Anutin is a politician. Ethics are ethics. Ethics and politicians are rarely found inhabiting the same space, in any country. -

But can you book a hotel in the UK using a Thai credit/debit card? -

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. -

billd766 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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. -

Myanmar military retreat from border town following rebel attacks

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 -
Foreigner's Shocking Behavior On Soi 4 Sparks Outrage in Bangkok [videos]
billd766 replied to george's topic in Bangkok News
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. -
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.
