Bombshell:Dem Convention Protests for Palestine
jesimps replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
If you want to go down that road then the US should belong to its indigenous people and the rest of you forced into the sea or worse. You can't have jam on both sides. -
Bombshell:Dem Convention Protests for Palestine
jesimps replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
That's probably what they said in Germany in the 1930s. -

Think the UK for the last month or so since Labour came to power. I see they closed lots of main roads in Central London yesterday so they could celebrate Pakistan Day. -
Thai PM Srettha Axed Over Controversial Cabinet Appointment

Never thought I would've given that an upvote, but there you go. -
Tax Return 2025
jesimps replied to John Phuket's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
To get a TIN from my local tax office at Jomtien I reckon I'd have to beat it out of them. I went there with my Thai missus a couple of months back and they flatly refused to issue one. The lady behind the desk said something like "You have British passport, you pay tax in your own country. Need number only if you work here". No amount of reasoning could convince her, so I left numberless. -
Why not? They have everything else. Break dancing for goodness sake. I haven't watched the olympics since it turned pro so I don't care what rubbish they include in them.

How to kill 5 children with 1 motorcycle
jesimps replied to Confuscious's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
My school in UK must have been at least two miles from my house and we never had a motorcycle, or for many years a bicycle even. I used to walk there and back every schoolday in whatever weather the British climate threw at me. If we had had a motorbike, no way would my parents have allowed me to ride it to school. My mother wouldn't even let me buy one at age sixteen because she was worried about me. In the slums of Liverpool, we were equally as poor as the country people here. -
Election News: Virginia removes Foreigners from its Voter Rolls

They committed parole violations. No more need be said. -
Doesn't affect me because I have no desire to use any facility that has double pricing. Now if they charged farang double for a bottle of scotch, I might start rocking the boat. Maybe I'm tempting fate by even mentioning this.

Why is Thailand not full of so called Asylum Seekers?

Lived in France for two years. I've never before come across such ugly women. Shattered all my expectations and was one of the reasons I moved here. As for your blocked nose, I've suffered with one all my life and tried every remedy under the sun inlcuding cauterisation. Nothing worked and I've just learned to live with it. Some days are good, others not so good.

Pattaya rebranding as family-friendly destination to boost tourism
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Must be. If I had a thousand baht for every time I've seen that headline, I'd have quite a little stash. If it's working ok, don't try to fix it. -
My daughter's in the London Met and I love her very much, but I'm not particularly enamoured with that illustrious body at the moment. I was shocked by the sight of them arresting people at random during the Whitehall protest. Even watched them beat up a young man and arrest an old lady just for standing peacefully protesting. Yet a certain group of people seem to get a free pass, despite physically attacking armed policemen and fighting rival gangs with machetes. I'm worried sick about my daughter's safety and although I don't condone the riots, I curse our PM for inflaming the situation with his politically partisan announcements.

Realistically speaking, do you think Trump will last till November?
jesimps replied to watthong's topic in Political Soapbox
He'll have to stand up to a lot of violence and lawfare from the lefties, but I'm certain he's man enough to deal with it. -
Pattaya cops stop brawl between Kuwaiti tourists & Thai bikers
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Lovely! -
If tourism is down then Jomtien isn't affected. I've been in and out of there for the last week or so and the place is heaving. It's almost impossible to get get parked up. My friend stays in the same hotel every year on holiday and is used to it being quiet is quite disappointed at how full and crowded it is. I used to live in Jomtien because it was an oasis away from the craziness of Pattaya, but wouldn't dream of it these days. It's a mad house.

Why are there so many farang lefties in Thailand
jesimps replied to susanlea's topic in Political Soapbox
Didn't take long for me to figure it out. Think of a certain group that are almost 100% far left. -

I assume you think the same should apply to the office of president. -

I reckon the lefties loved it and right thought it was disgusting. -

Thai Language Seen as Vital National Symbol, Survey Shows
jesimps replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Before coming to Thailand I lived for two years in France and found it almost impossible to get around there without a good knowledge of French. Here however, I speak very little Thai, but have never had any trouble finding English speakers. I'm not criticising anyone here and realise I am quite lazy about leaning languages, just stating my observations. -
Kamala Harris trolls Trump as he backs out of debate
jesimps replied to shdmn's topic in Political Soapbox
What's up with you lefty spams taking over a forum in Thailand? You think that calling Trump names is going to improve Harris's chances in the election. No amount of Democrats Abroad groups are going to help the lady I'm afraid. The last thing she wants to do is to publicly debate Trump with her word salad, he'll wipe the floor with her. Anyway. I thought there was a thread on here specifically dedicated to politics? Why clutter up the forum with separate threads on the subject??
