Watching a movie (Farang movie) you are not allowed to see cleavage (breast or butt) because it is blurred out by the censor, along with the actual cigarette and the actual alcohol label.

Of course you can show people being shot in the face with a 9mm gun or having their faces hacked off with a samurai sword, but hey, the kids have to be protected from dangerous stuff like underwear, right?

Perhaps not, but rockets can not defeat the Taiwanese alone. They would have to put boots on the ground to do that.

well the Russians seem to consider it a "victory" to obliterate the civilian infrastructure of the neighbor it claims to want to save. Maybe the CCP will feel obliged to lay waste to Taiwan to prove its commitment to the one China policy..... They are watching the russian progress with interest.

"Chiang Mai was the most polluted city in the world yesterday"

so "To Be Number One" is not just a publicity stunt by influencers......

It would be interesting to see another 50 years how things settle out.  

Fortunately I will not have to worry about this.  And the "young leaders" pretend to care about sustainability as long as it gets "followers" on their smartphones  (guess we are lucky that the phones are smart....)

Vietnam, Cambodia & Lao to Red CN. Thailand & Philippines hang on to neutrality long as possible. And the collapse there of will depend on who is feared the most.

Actually I do believe that the CCP / PLA is quite wary of upsetting Vietnam. They remember the mess in 1979 when the Vietnamese not only refused to roll over (as the USA had already learnt), but actually gave the superior force a good kicking and therefore humiliation.

some parallels here with the mighty Russian army and the "special military operation" in smaller weaker neighbor Ukraine....

"the body which was wearing a dive suit"  obviously a good brand...

more good news......

However painful it will be, the only thing which will solve the problem of a nuclear war is a real Cold War. Give the Chinese what they want - a real Cold war. (and while you are at it, suck up the pain and do it for Russia too.)

“Hat Yao beach is among the most beautiful beaches in the South.”

Also they should mention the wonderful island of Koh Tao. Some people have made it a "once in a lifetime" destination,  and some people never go anywhere else ever again.......

Just stick to party politics, not stunts.

to be sure of winning, Prayut, Prawit and Anutin should swim from Pattaya to Hua Hin.

How about: 

"Watch me win this time"   for Prawit

" Generally expected to stay"    for Prayut

" Put A Nut In charge"               guess who....

" Shin up - time to win again"
