i believe that vaccines saved many lives and reduced the severity of outcomes for millions of people....if you chose to refuse it that is your problem but wouldn't it be better to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. I had two good friends who "did their research" a lot of which was listening to fox "news" and BS conspiracy theory it's a chinese hoax idiots who were convinced they knew more than the scientists...both refused covid vaccines...both were healthy active guys...both died horrible deaths with tubes stuck down their throats...both their wives got shots and did not get covid. So yes i do believe that vaccine mandates were necessary to get the bullheaded conspiracy theory bunch to protect themselves and their families if that is what it takes.

No I don't believe everything the govt or most anybody tells me. I do believe I can do research and trust those who have tons of valid data that backs up various claims and sort the BS from the truth. a loyal citizen that doesn't believe in a bunch of idiotic conspiracy theories and spread as if it were all true....a loyal citizen that has a darn good nose that can smell BS when i encounter it.... I do not believe the big lie of rigged election, i do not believe the moon landing was a big hoax, i do not believe that the dems are controlled by some cabal perverts, i do not believe that bill gates wants me to get vaxed to track me....i do not believe that covid vaxs were some big conspiracy theory that did nothing to lessen deaths....i could go on and no but i do believe i would be wasting my time with people who will and do believe all sorts of nonsense and defend their "beliefs" to the death. Oh and i do not believe the earth is flat much to the dismay of many. I ain't buying a sack of BS no matter how many times it gets posted and reposted.

I for one wish all the conspiracy theory folks would crawl down their rabbit hole with their fellow deep web BS and just wallow around in all the nonsense. They have nothing other than a bunch of lame theories from obscure websites and pretend experts but do for sure love to try and argue and dig those holes even deeper. Waste of time.

And rightly so....it is generally illegal to rent for less than 30 days except hotels. Of course airbnb and other platforms don't give a <deleted> and list the units anyway. So suddenly your home condo is turned into a hotel with all kinds of people hanging around the lobby with suitcases, clogging elevators, swimming pools, coming home loud and drunk most every night, pestering the hotel security staff with various demands etc....if u get real lucky you may find that a unit just down the hall now has 10 people staying there in a unit that normally is two people. All some ahole can make some extra $$ by breaking the law and enabled by clients and booking platforms who could not care less.

Seems to me the simple stop is the posting of big signs in lobby and elevator advising potential guests that rentals of less than 30 days are illegal and violators...both owner and renters are subject to fines and rental terminated immediately.....i suspect that a person arriving at their rental seeing that would quickly be demanding a refund and word would spread....of course they could also try and hold airbnb and online agents liable via lawsuits for knowingly listing illegal rentals. Airbnb has been getting away with acting like oh we didn't know the law, didn't know it was illegal all over the world. Meantime they have made millions by enabling illegal rentals. It should be required that owner or property manager must certify that the building where he is renting units short time is a legal rental. In the vast majority of rentals online you can figure out in a few minutes if it is a hotel or legal rental. With very few exceptions if the rental offered is less than 30 days and the building is clearly a condo...and has no hotel license which very few have...it is illegal.

And the law is being blatantly disregarded by airbnb as well as the various online agencies that promote rentals of less than 30 days every day. It is totally out of hand in many condos that have no hotel license but don't care and obviously airbnb doesn't care that the rentals are illegal. It is beyond time for the laws to be enforced. If you buy or long term lease a condo you should not have to put up with dozens of airbnb types checking in/out all hours, cramming units full of people, clogging elevators pools etc. The building where I live has almost become intolerable over the past few months and nobody on condo board or juristic or cops seem to care in the least. It drives up long term rental rates as more owners are saying hell i can get $50 ++ a night why should i rent for $400 a month... Disgusting blatant breaking of laws with no repercussions. There are a few buildings that post big signs in lobby and elevators outlining that rentals of less than 30 days in that building are illegal and to please report any units that you observe renting short term. Seems to solve problem very quickly. Can't believe that the hotel biz doesn't raise holy hell having to compete with all the illegal rentals that have no hotel license, pay no taxes, and are in direct violation of the law....very easy to catch them...just go online and you can find hundreds of illegal rentals with a few mouse clicks. Must be some big brown envelopes from condo boards, rental agents etc.

if u change baths is that laundering money?

feel sorry for the gal sitting beside him ....doesn't look to happy to get the seat assignment from hell

this is the extent of cut and paste in my post: the benefits outweigh the risks for most people 8 words.... all the rest i wrote so not sure what the heck you are smoking or rambling on about....a tiny bit of research would have shown that your accusations of " almost all copy and paste, paid for lies "post is a load of rubbish.... will await your apology but won't hold my breath

got it...on the way to bank now to cash my check.

he has not a clue...a few words cut and paste...

Charles Sobhraj and Marie LeClerk's move into Kanit House 504 in 1975 and make that their base to screen and entrap their victims..it was near patpong

what a load of rubbish.....covid vaccines saved millions of lives and reduced severity of disease for the vast majority of people who got infected.... one study where some had an adverse reaction to the shot but they themselves admit that the benefits outweigh the risks for most people is the "proof". So here we go again with the anti vax crowd spreading all kinds of nonsense implying that the world would be better off without the vaccines? Hogwash more rabbit hole conspiracy theories brought up by the same crowd that see a conspiracy around every corner and quote from one study while ignoring tons of studies peer reviewed and backed up by stat after stat from real hospitals and real docs and nurses who witnessed first hand the horrors of the unvaxxed clogging hospitals whose last words were i should have gotten the vaccine. If any apologies are owed it is the anti vaxxers who pushed all the garbage that convinced so many not to get vaxxed and ended up dead. Gee i thought it was all a chinese hoax anyway so why did we need any vaccines?

"good character".... a guy that killed people across the world with no remorse, escaped prison/jail over and over and was an amazing conman, crook, and murderer.....not my idea of good character but i do understand that nepal gets to decide.

Not sure how many journalists actually paid him to write stories but i doubt that all of then did. He was a very unique/dangerous/weird person with a strange bizarre life and that made for an interesting read. Sort of a charles manson type that was able to control people to do his bidding. In my opinion he should never be released no matter what his age or health situation...he sure never showed any mercy for his victims.

I have read most of the books about sobraj... I used to hang out at the pudding shop in istanbul same time he was there looking for victims...guess i was lucky as was with two hot canadian gals and we were all young and starry eyed smoking hash and heading to Goa. We would/could have been good targets for the snake. Bit creepy to know we were likely in pudding shop with him one or more times. I think the best of the books is/was Serpentine by Thomas Thompson https://www.amazon.com/Serpentine-Thomas-Thompson/dp/0786707496

They liked the white supremist dog whistle that he constantly blows. They liked/bought all the drain the swamp . build the wall, denigrate generals, experts, health care pros . chinese hoax, ad infinitum BS that he spews, They like that he claimed to be very very rich and would not need or take any $$ from anyone. They bought that he was all for the little guy except he gave the big tax cuts to the richest of the rich and got them to believe the same tired old lie of trickle down economics. Then the house of cards came tumbling down when reality hit that actually being POTUS is much more difficult than sitting on golden toilets whining about the other guy. No wall got built, no swamp got drained, sucked up to putin and dictators and put more grifters into the swamp who had no clue how to actually pass laws or govern . All he knew how to do was hold rallies for his cult and ramble on incoherently repeating the same BS over and over as he sucked millions out of his supporters wallets. Many have finally figured out that trump is and has always been a conman whose only interest is himself. Unfortunately six years later there are still millions of people who refuse to admit that they got lied to and conned. Trump will soon enough be out of the spotlight but those hate filled gullible supporters will still be looking for a mini trump to feed them more BS....enter DeSantis. Here we go again. Meantime old senile Joe gets bills passed that have and will actually fix infrastructure, improve the environment, help America be more competitive, lower drug prices and much more. Is Joe perfect? No. But unlike trump he doesn't spend every waking moment trying to claim that he and he alone can fix every problem..

That is why real evidence is required at trials....not a bunch of conspiracy theories pulled from rabbit holes like election fraud with no evidence. The DOJ is well aware that real trials require real evidence. Then the jury will decide what they believe and what they do not believe. Will trumpers accept the verdict if it is guilty or will we go down the same tired road that it's all a giant witch hunt and donnie did not break any laws.. That " biased "committees most damning evidence presented was mostly testimony from republican trumpers who were there and had the gonads to say under oath what they saw and heard. They knew full well that they would be attacked by the trumpers who see no evil hear no evil but don't have the courage to testify under oath.

So how many trumpers/republicans are secretly hoping that DOJ will indict and a jury will convict t of crimes that prevent him from holding office? My guess is a substantial number as many of them are finally starting to realize that their dear leader is a dead loser that needs to be removed from the discussion...of course most will never state publicly that they got conned by the con man but that is exactly what happened. But if it is the DOJ that brings t down they can then blame the DOJ rather than admit that they have backed a conman loser. The grift now is to pretend to be running for POTUS but play 18-27 holes of golf everyday while selling trading cards to the kool aide crew. How presidential.

never ever been asked to show printed copy of tourist visa to extend before...done it many times over the years...it is all stamped right there in passport for all to see....hardly naive when it comes to knowing immigrations love lots of paper but with advent of e visas seems time to move on to at least accept a phone grab from official thai embassy rather than yet another printed piece of paper.....

good question.. another one: when i went to jomtiem immigration to extend my 60 day tourist visa an extra 30 days they wanted a copy of my original e visa which of course i had shown to bkk immigration on arrival and there was no problem and it was all stamped into my passport tourist visa and given 60 days...so the jomtiem immigration want to see what bkk immigration had already seen 60 days before...not sure why but pull it up on phone and show it to them... but NO have to provide a printed copy to them...so back to the copy place to get printed to give them a copy of the original tourist visa provided by the thai govt and already looked at and approved by bkk immigration.....can't think of any reason why they need printed copy but they were insistent so no choice. Nothing weird or suspicious re my visits or previous visas to thailand and haven't even been here in 3 years....Any idea why this was required?

But trump says only guilty people plead the fifth: Trump pleaded the Fifth more than 440 times during his deposition in New York, answering only a question about what his name is

seems that nobody much cares that he was travelling at a high rate of speed at 1 am..guess maybe moptorcy guy would have gotten a 100 baht ticket if some old person was trying to cross the road and the speeder was "unable to brake"....and killed them? What exactly is "high speed" to a motorcy guy? See several a day roar through soi buakhaow traffic hauling axx weaving around cars, bikes, people...but go ahead and blame the dog. Kritphan reportedly told rescuers that the dog ran in front of his bike while he was traveling at high speed. He was unable to brake and crash head-on into a dog, he said.

Hey maybe he can come up with some imaginary tokens or trading cards or ? and sell them to all the musk fanboys....maybe even get them to change the name from ponzi to musk schemes and go down in history as the king of cons...of course that would not sit well with the real king of cons so then they could come up with some sort of web smackdown and charge big bucks to see them pour ketchup on each other......there seem to be no shortage of idiots who worship people who distribute kool aide.
