It's just a habit they have with non-Thai speakers and with children, there isn't any explanation other than that, at least not to my knowledge. Don't overthink it 🙂

A question no-one is asking is "why did the State Audit Office need a 30-something storey building in the first place?" -
Well, obviously they needed a place to hold audit inquiries into whether they need to build such premises!
What is deeply sad is that the lawyers are gathering even whilst there are so many trapped, some may still be alive, under the rubble

Please demonstrate facts to show:
He is drunk
He is incompetent
That he is responsible for the alleged security breach.
You cant. You will just spew propaganda from the mouth of your masters, then flame me, libel some more then leave some sad and confused emojis
Drunk: he has something of a track record...
Incompetent, responsible for the alleged security breach: he is the Secretary for Defence, and was actively engaging in discussing classified plans for a forthcoming operation on an unclassified messaging app! That is about as incompetent and irresponsible as it gets.
I don't have any "masters" owe no allegiance to any political movement, British or American. I don't flame or libel you ( where in my post did I even mention you?) I do respond to ridiculous suggestions and frothy mouthed commentary with mockery or sarcasm from time to time, and you often draw such a response - others (if not you) may see some correlation there!
I think that the "sad" and "confused" emojis are pointless and a waste of time, have been on record several times as saying so, and so make a point of not using them.

Exactly nobody scares leftists and socialists more than a strong masculine War veteran who loves his country. Keep going Pete you're giving us a great military and you're making the lunatics heads explode.
Personally what worries me (and I leave it to others to decide whether I am a leftist or socialist, I certainly don't identify as such) is the man in charge of the most powerful military in the world being a drunken incompetent buffoon capable of making such an obvious and egregious security breach - one which put the lives of those he is in charge of at even greater risk.
As for being a strong masculine war veteran, didn't he have to get his mum to say that he promised not to be a drunken tosser - sorry I meant reformed character - if he was confirmed?
Gloves off, he is a pretty buckshee junior reserve officer with a loose mouth who came to prominence on a weekend TV programme.
Now as to resignation or being sacked he will not go of course. He has lied vehemently and his boss has doubled down on those lies.

I support the decision, not because I wish to discriminate against transgender athletes, or those with medical or physical developmental conditions like Imane Khelif; but because I do not want to see women in sport degraded and disadvantaged by being forced to compete against what are, as was certainly the case in the Olympic boxing bout, physically males.

I suspect a conventional invasion is unlikely, but I can anticipate grievances being stoked and created to justify a more specific "limited" involvement, for example to establish a land (or air) corridor to Alaska, or to secure/safeguarding electricity supplies to northern US States.
The case for these will be made over time, with many wails about "nasty countries" and orange Mussolini posturing ( have you noticed how he is working on the look? Late night screenings of Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" I wonder?).
If when he/they are confident that they have sidelined Canada from the rest of NATO and the West only then would they move.

The five eyes is super old, it always has been about the 9 eyes since decades with France, Germany, Netherlands and Norway. Generally speaking it would basically all rely on either Netherlands or Japan and Israel if it came to most digital intelligence or cyber security and warfare.
The western intelligence alliances will continue to operate - although it is likely they will be more circumspect in including the USA in their liaisons.
No doubt the cue in due course for cries and wails about nasty countries and post hangover declarations of contempt for "the Euros".
Can you put tariffs on information?

There is a serious risk @blackcab that you may be introducing an element of thought and knowledge into this debate, please stop before it is too late!
"Everyone knows" that Thai standards in construction are inadequate, the fact that no other major high rise buildings, elevated roads or trailways failed is pure luck!

If you look at the time of the posted Topic, then you will see that it was posted even before any data about the quake was reported, except probably from the USA.
But this did not show up for several more minutes.
Therefore, cool it Babe, because.....
I, and many others, anytime we get rocked on the Ring of Fire, often say....NICE ONE....
Are we CRYSTAL CLEAR now, Babe?
When you read, you gotta read in context.
But, as I say, I was near the epicenter of the 7.7 quake in Taiwan when it hit.
And, it was not much fun...neither the time of the quake...or....for MANY MONTHS after.
A hellish experience WHICH, I might add, you have probably NEVER experienced....YOURSELF.
So....Get off my Cloud, please, and wise up, and go experience a 7.7 quake for yourself, before you open your yap about my Topic, and its sensitivity.
Thank you...."friend"....
How many quakes have you been in, anyway.....?
Thousands?????
I have.
I am experienced, as Jimi sang....
If you have, as you claim, been in many earthquakes then it rather underlines my point that it was a tasteless if not ignorant thing to say - you should understand the likely results, irrespective of published data. That said, like so many of your ridiculous claims, it should probably be taken with a large pinch of salt!
And lay off the 1960s San Francisco hippy talk, or should I say "cool it babe" - you are in a hole of your own making, continuing to dig makes you sound even more of an old fool.
The fact that you claim that it is "your topic" on an open forum says enough about your delusions.
And finally I am not, never have been and going by your performances would never wish to be counted as a "friend".

Given the likely scale of death, injury and destruction this earthquake will likely have wrought upon the unfortunate people of Myanmar, then perhaps "Nice one" is probably amongst the least tasteful ( if we are to be generous) of epithets to apply.
Frankly, a downright <deleted> ignorant thing to say!

Bad day?
On the contrary, yesterday was rather a good day.
A not unrealistic forecast though.
Did you see the newsreel of the Muslim woman being picked up off the street somewhere in North Eastern USA, by half a dozen masked men in plain clothes, handcuffed, and whisked away in an unmarked car?
She is entirely legally resident in the USA, student visa, postgraduate student. I think, may be wrong, she was from Turkey. Now being held incommunicado in an ICE detention centre in Louisiana.
Her "crime", expressing an opinion in a student newspaper!
Why Louisiana? The other end of the country? Well it is a damned sight more difficult for any courts or lawyers to track her down and get her released - I should imagine ICE finds it a more favourable jurisdiction?
"Nacht und Nebel" doesn't it make your heart swell?

All military orders written ("Op orders") or spoken ("O groups") start with a "general outline" paragraph, before going on to detailed tasks and timings etc.
The drunken fool sent the general outline paragraph, out over an unclassified and insecure messaging app a couple of hours before the operation was launched.
What an utter buffoon!
Anyone who has served in the military knows that any commander who made such a stupid and obvious mistake, and then lied about it, would simply be sacked!

Well, that's too bad that Trump will only let citizens vote. I was more in favor of posting ICE agents at all the polling stations. Why go to all the expense or looking for illegals, just let them come to you.
Absolutely - Honan's paramilitary thugs at polling stations to question anyone who isn't white turning up to vote!
Brown, Spanish speaking, got a tattoo? Wrap 'em in chains and off to a concentration camp outsourced to El Salvador!
I expect they will have every available bus and 'plane chartered next polling day!

This thread has really struck a nerve with some people. Makes me wonder what are they so afraid of ? DOGE finding out they're living in Thailand on Social Security disability, double dipping, claiming benefits they didn't earn, dead family members still getting paid SS ? After reading through the comments I'm even more certain that a thorough audit of Social Security is needed. The reactions are a dead giveaway they're scared to death of what Elon will find.
Anyone who is living in Thailand on Social Security disability, double dipping, claiming benefits they didn't earn, dead family members still getting paid SS and so on would really be very silly indeed to be commenting on this forum or similar, now wouldn't they?
Far, far better to keep a low profile don't you think?

It rather occurs to me that attempting to commit fraud by claiming to be 140, ( funny but it was 150 last week!) is a spectacularly silly thing to try, and a remarkably easy fraud to detect.

"Elon ending deep state corruption". That's funny.
No one else mentioned Musk, why the need to bring in something so ridiculous and unrelated?Come now @josephbloggs, do you not understand that nothing is as important as, all solutions to any problem can be found, and all opinions can only be validated, in the vacuous brainfarts triggered by MAGA slogans!

"The left wants to destroy the Greatest country on Earth."
How dare they, that is Trump/Musk's job!
