Sex and drugs and rock and roll! -
Sometimes it's not possible to avoid confrontation. If someone attacks you, you may not be able to run away after the first couple of punches. In this case, the Thai guy seemed to be surprised at being attacked, and I don't think he could escape. YMMV.

More like 150,000-200,000. Most are from the North, Chiang Mai, Chaiyaphum. Girls from the NorthEast are usually too dark-skinned. Used to be a few more before they made 18 the legal requirement in 1996. Most of them don't make very much. Most Massage girls only make about ฿1,000 a day, if even that much. Most street-walkers only make ฿3-400 on a good day. -
I seem to recall that Suthep was forced into the monkhood for a while. Chalerm is one of my favorites. He started out as a Sergeant Major in the Army's Military Police and got transferred to the police when he was caught extorting merchants. Prem (remember him?) commented that he was extraordinarily ungrateful.

I'm glad to see Chuwit saying this. Thai politics used to be so entertaining, but it's been nothing but boring under Prayut. Well, except for the guy who had a friend who "loaned" him expensive watches.

Actually, it started when humans discovered fire. At first it wasn't bad, the world's natural mechanisms took care of it, but starting about 1776, the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, with the industrial use of steam power, it took off. We passed the point where we could do anything about it around 1850. No link, my opinion. Of course the climate has always been changing, but we were in a pretty sweet situation after the last Ice Age.

I don't believe this. I'm 85 years old, and don't have crow's feet, which are caused by your eyes moving when you smile. I grant you I don't smile a lot, but when I do, it's genuine. I think that's true of (some) other people, too.

Ah, that may be. I haven't lived in Bangkok for thirteen years, now. Chuwit is the only one of the old political crew that I know of. I don't see any others as entertaining as he is, but I've grown old and don't pay much attention any more.

I've liked Chuwit since he <deleted> Thaksin off and sent the bulldozers in to the market on Sukhumwit, which is now Queen Sirikhit's Park. Long story, but he's a very funny and very canny man.
