They may be AI controlled and learned from human immigration so they should be OK, from my experience anyway.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm. There is a problem with countries run by egotistical lunatics having nuclear weapons. Russia, Israel, North Korea, USA. When is Trump going to deal with them?

I use the Middle East as it's roughly an even split going to the UK. I normally use Gulf Air as I have frequent flyer status with them, but I've used Emirates, Qatar and Etihad previously. I have a bad back from an accident years ago, although it seems to have been less of a problem in recent years. I did fly Austrian a couple of years back but that was business class. Swiss BKK-ZRH-LHR and LHR-VIE-DEL-BKK. The DEL-BKK leg was with Thai. To be honest I can't even remember Vienna airport.

Direct flights are usually more expensive. It's not really a good comparison as most flights have at least one stop-over. I don't know the situation now but before Covid there were 3 airlines doing direct flights. EVA, British Airways and Thai Arways. I need to go to the UK myself in July and I use Gulf Air as I have frequent flyer status. I'm just hoping things sort out before then.

That would solve the charging time issue. 😀

A Thai driving licence used to get you the same price as Thais when I first came here. I think that stopped after the last coup.

Yes, you could be right. Not a very sensible thing to do.

You'd think someone next to him might have woken him up. Unless they were asleep as well.

The safe seems a bit odd. Normally you'd have it secured to something, or have it in a floor or wall. According to the reports they just took it. They'll have to break it open somehow as if they had the key or combination I would assume they would have taken just the money.

I'm sure I've seen a very similar video, but from a female. I'll try to find it.

It looks as if it might have been the fall that caused his death rather than the actual assault.

You need to calm down and check your facts first.

I didn't notice it was a joke until I got to the Nazi flags and eating cats. It's an indication of how bad things have got that I didn't notice the humour straight away. It was a joke, wasn't it?

From the way it's worded he took out the insurance but they learned after the accident they learned of the restrictions. He was 23 and living and working in Australia from I can tell so I would guess he arranged it himself.

It looks as if he was going way too fast as far as I can see. I'm surprised more weren't killed to be honest. Unless I'm misreading this the five killed and six injured, so 11 overall, were all in the one pickup. Thais are extremely efficient when it comes to death and injury on the roads. Helped of course by the police not doing a very good job, or the Department of land Transport not really testing people. It's their country and their choice, but that doesn't alter the fact that they'd rather have lax driving testing and traffic enforcement, than save lives.

Also, if it's not going to affect tourism, how much will it affect the types of activity that the reduction is intended to combat?

I'm not sure what the EU has to do with it, or who's trying to break free from it. Victor Orban complains about the EU but hasn't tried to leave. Probably because he knows the advantages of being part of a larger group. The same probably goes for others who used to promote leaving the EU but no longer do. That part does have a connection to Thailand and politics in general. Life is often easier if you keep with a large group. That's part of the reason behind coalitions and moving party.

A good point.

Will probably be PT unfortunately.

The election actually started last Sunday on the 1st. Before the disqualification.

That won't work for those who voted early last Sunday.

Actually that's not true. Early voting was last Sunday, so everything set after the elections.

It's interesting that you need to explain your post at the end. It's so difficult to tell the difference between sarcasm and stupidity these days. What's more worrying is that if governments are watching us, and in particular on here, then some may well end up having a visit from the police. Just to be clear that's a joke as well. Sort of.

I think just using a card is better and faster. Having said that, that method can be used in Thailand and my wife uses it sometimes. She used it at Topps a while back and it took ages but that was probably just a technical issue. I think paying by QR code is a better for people such as market traders as they don't need a a card reader. In 7/11 Lotus ect then tapping a card seems to make more sense due to speed.

This is a bit difficult to comment on as the figures don't give enough relevant information. The increase mentioned is from 2019/2020 to 2024/2025. That's 5 years, most of which was under the Tories, so it must be Labour and Keir Starmer who are at fault. Why aren't there figures showing the increases broken down into years so we can see if there's a difference under Labour. Is it because Labour aren't doing any worse than the Tories, or is it because the further back you go the bigger the percentage increase is so big numbers like 165% can be put out. 'In 2024/25 alone, it reached a jaw-dropping £133.9 million, compared to just £50.6 million a few years back.' So someone went to find out the amount in 2024/2025, £133.9 million, to compare it to the £50.6 million in the year? Well it was a few years back anyway. Would some of the problem be that the Tories slowed asylum applications and underfunded the justice system which caused a huge backlog. I think it was Robert Jenrick that said that was deliberate. Will leaving the ECHR help? How many deportations are actually stopped by the ECHR, which other countries seem to cope with. No figures on that. There may be problems but I doubt Keir Starmer can take credit for it on his own. It's a bit like Tony Blair who invaded Iraq, with a bit of help from some American guy. I think his name was George or something. Not to forget Gordon Brown who orchestrated a Global Financial crisis starting in the USA. Labour PMs punch well above their weight.
