  1. MEGA HarborLand @One Bangkok - HarborLand Group It seems to me that perhaps this "One Bangkok" development might almost already fit the Thai Govt's multiple physical requirements for locating a casino. If so & casinos are finally approved - perhaps "One Bangkok" could be the first to have one. Perhaps I am way off base with the physical requirements &/or other Thai gov't criteria, as well as the desires of the "One Bangkok" developers. Am I way off base?

  3. As a condo seller in Jomtien I know I need to show Land Office my condo's certification that I have no outstanding unpaid condo bills. Do I have to show similar certification that I have no outstanding unpaid property taxes? If so, where do I get that, Pattaya City Hall? BTW, annually Pattaya City sends me SqM data & asks if I am still the owner. But I have never paid property tax because they do not send me a following bill. I presume because I had previously gone to City Hall with my Yellow Book to register the condo as my primary residence.
  4. The Thai Navy's suggestion: Buy another CCP submarine.
  5. Thank You very much. I will try to do the same.
  6. Following quote from The next chapter: Moving from Skype to Microsoft Teams  | Microsoft 365 Blog quote: "After May 5, 2025, the Skype Dial Pad will be available to remaining paid users from the Skype web portal and within Teams."   I'm embarrassed to show my ignorance for what will probably be considered stupid questions, but ...... How do I sign into Skype using the web portal & what is UI?
  7. Goes back even further to playing British & French off against each other so as to keep Thailand a buffer between French to the east (Indochina) and British to the west (Burma-India). Ever since the Thai's have been so proud of themselves for avoiding colonization, they have repeatedly made it a part of their foreign policy.
  8. Real Politik Bismarck Kissinger Nixon Trump Thank God - a return to Real Politik ala Bismarck & Kissinger. Personal experience here in Thailand making our advisory efforts difficult : The unreliable & arrogant Obama /Kerry SecState (idiotic idealistic A-Holes) policy of pausing Security Assistance programs with Thailand only succeeded in turning the Thai's toward the CCP (e.g., potential Thai purchase of /involvement in an unnecessary, expensive & blackmail threatening CCP-Thai submarine program). Trump’s Foreign Policy Abandons Ideology for the Balance of Power | RealClearDefense https://assets.realclear.com/images/67/679489_6_.jpeg Trump’s Foreign Policy Abandons Ideology for the Balance of Power Twentieth century world politics saw the United States combine ideological abstractions with balance of power realities. President Woodrow Wilson sought to transform the geopolitical clash of the Grea www.realcleardefense.com Quote: "Trump appears to be channeling Richard Nixon, who during his presidency deemphasized ideology and prioritized the balance of power in conducting foreign policy. Nixon’s masterstroke was triangular diplomacy, which exploited the Sino-Soviet split to America’s geopolitical advantage. Henry Kissinger was right in the third volume of his magnificent memoirs, Years of Renewal, when he claimed that Nixon set the stage for Reagan’s victory in the Cold War. And Nixon did that by abandoning ideology in favor of the balance of power. Trump’s policy of negotiating an imperfect end to the Ukraine war and refusing to condemn Russia at the United Nations resembles Nixon’s negotiation of the imperfect end to the Vietnam War and his embrace of a de facto alliance with Communist China. Trump, like Nixon, is playing the long, crucial game of balance of power geopolitics instead of leaning on ideological abstractions like “democracy versus autocracy.” Nixon’s long game was designed to shift the balance of power against the Soviet empire. Trump’s long game is to shift the balance of power against Communist China. Trump, like Nixon, is following the geopolitical playbook of Walter Lippmann, the influential American journalist who understood, even in the age of ideology, the overriding importance of the balance of power to global peace and stability.
  9. Israel: Exploit your successes before it's too late. Think of the blackmail of fanatical suicidal Mullahs with a nuke.
  10. What about the planned large-scale maintenance operation (if I understand correctly) at Utaphao?
  11. Many in the Thai gov't are either corrupt &/or blind to the intentions of the CCP. Reference the following aseannow link: My repeat comment to the above link: "Former Deputy Prime Minister Surakiart Sathirathai: Well, on this matter at least, I believe this fellow has his head on straight. In part he is warning against becoming so imbedded with China that the Thai gov't fails to see the long-term nefarious intentions of & blackmail by the CCP. Will Thai decision makers have the smarts & nerve to back out of the CCP submarine deal?"

  13. Silom station is near the Dusit hotel / King Rama VI statue gate. Lumpini station is near the clock tower gate. Google MRT stations. MRT Lumpini station - Google Search But the music venue is centrally located in the park so either entrance works. Just advising that both stations are equally convenient to exit MRT.
