BangkokHank

Isn't that the whole point of driving a BMW - to be able to kill people with impunity?

It is a very depressing, tired town full of moaning old right wingers - ideal hunting ground for his poisonous views.

So it's a town full of moaning old right wingers (who hate to see their country swirling down the drain), and Farage will win them over with his poisonous views? And let me guess: YOU just happen to have the all the right views. Why even bother having an election when YOU already know what's best for the country.

And you know that because you are a top scientist?

Are you saying that it is necessary to be a top scientist to have an opinion? In that case, are YOU a top scientist? Or even a bottom one?

I have a brain - and eyes. And nobody's offering me money to say what they want me to say. So you can continue believing corrupt top scientists (like Fauci), and I'll continue believing my eyes.

In England, everyone knows the ethnicity of those involved in violent crime

In America too. It's always people of the "teen" ethnicity.

Is there a complete list somewhere of ALL 93 countries whose citizens will not need a visa to come to Thailand, as well as a complete list of countries whose citizens will qualify for the visa on arrival?

I once donated hundreds of wonderful books to the old AUA library in Bangkok before they moved to their new location. Many of the books I wanted to keep, but I just didn't have the space for them. So I thought that giving them all to a single library would allow me to access my books in the future should I wish to revisit them. When AUA moved into its new premises, I assumed they would take their library with them. When I visited the new location, I found that they hadn't. So I asked them what they had done with all the books. They said they sold them! This infuriated me, as I could have sold them myself, except that I wanted to maintain access to them while sharing them with others. I still haven't forgiven them for this.

Interesting strategy, and I agree, it will work.

 

The only thing I can see that would be a concern is you will be paid a pittance by a Thai bank for the three years of money you have transferred in.  Never the less, not a bad plan at all. 

I put the first tranche of the money that I sent over last December into physical gold. It's already up over 30% since I bought it six months ago. That makes up for several years worth of paltry interest at a Thai bank.

They use cheques....

No they don't. They use checks. Ha.

They could have flown for that price.

I just got that SMS for the first time a couple of days ago. I'm pretty sure that clicking on the link would not lead to anything good, so I deleted the message without clicking on the link.

Oh dear, yet another one comes out of the woodwork..........Conspiracy theorists of the world unite as you possibly have a new "leader".

 

What on earth makes these people believe in this nonsense??

Some people are just foolish enough to believe their own eyes. Imagine that.

Well, now the perp will have a place to stay for a long time - without having to worry about finding a job.

Brilliant. Well done. What AI program did you use? And what prompts did you use, if I may ask?

Two cases of engine failure in one day, Boeing?

Yes, but you'd better not say anything about it. The last two people who blew the whistle on Boeing got whacked.

It rained all day yesterday in my part of Bangkok - out on Srinakarin Road. But today, not a drop.
