  1. Trump nearly always seems to speak off script, and the result is a horrific exercise, signs of severe cognitive decline, incoherent oration, and a nightmare of jumbled thoughts. He would do well to avoid all improvisation.
  2. Be very, very careful. Consider the infamous Srettha/PT flip flop on thr ganga industry. Now, look at Cambodia. The Chinese left behind the massive amount of unfinished buildings and construction in places like Sihanoukville, when their local economy collapsed back home in China and gambling laws changed in Cambodia. Is there a lesson to be learned here? They left behind a horrendous blight. They create alot of problems with their insatiable greed. And they care not one iota for the environment, nor local employing local people Tens of thousands of Chinese citizens who moved to Cambodia to work in the gambling and hospitality industry have left the coastal city, leaving the economy in limbo and hundreds of high-rises unfinished across the city. In July, provincial authorities met with representatives of local investors and landlords who have leased to Chinese investment projects to discuss the crisis. According to Sihanoukville provincial authority, more than 1,000 buildings in Sihanoukville have been abandoned for more than two years. https://cambojanews.com/sihanoukville-property-owners-in-limbo-as-unfinished-high-rises-litter-the-city/
  3. Compared to Vance, Walz is a hero and an elegant man. Jesse Ventura calls out the man for criticizing a fellow vet. After all, he shot photos, not rifles. Yet you would think he was a war hero, with all his false bluster. Jesse Ventura calls JD Vance's criticism of Walz military record ‘despicable’ https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/09/politics/video/jd-vance-tim-walz-military-jesse-ventura-lcl-digvid Tell it exactly like it is Jesse.

  5. I also hear they left behind the massive amount of unfinished buildings and construction in places like Sihanoukville, when their local economy collapsed back home in China and gbling laws changed in Cambodia. Is there a lesson to be learned here? They left behind a horrendous blight. They create alot of problems with their insatiable greed.

  6. The wife stated that she had no idea what could have led to the murder but believed that the killer must be very angry at her husband, as there was no reason to cut off his penis. You think? Apparently this MIT grad thought it would lead the police to think it was about something else! He should have stuck to building rocket boosters.
  7. There are likely alot of criminals plying their trade here, having gotten very high quality training in both China and Russia, from both the Triads and the Bratva. When you drop all standards for entrance and visa policy, this is what you get, the bottom of the barrel and a significant criminal element. This voraciously greedy administration has only themselves to blame for embracing quantity over quality. It would appear that dullards, and simpletons are running the asylum.
  8. I have an idea. Organize these fights and charge admission. Make it a public spectacle. Any type of hand to hand combat is allowed. The caveat is they have to go at least two or three, two minute rounds. Major entertainment. Come and see the Tuk fights. Watch two maniacal boys, who look, and smell like men, but have only developed emotionally to the age of 13, go at each other, over the tiniest perceived slight! Make Phuket and Pattaya the hub of Tukfights. Fun, fun. Come one, and come all!
  9. I remember about 10 years ago, just after the Junta takeover, the hapless army went on and on about how they were going to clean things up, and get rid of all the taxi mafias and corruption. LOL. They came to Samui, made a big demonstration of their power, two weeks later everything was the same. If you asked to taxi driver to use a meter he would just laugh at you. That's the power (or impotence) and sincerity of the Thai Army.
  10. I think many of us have seen articles recently about Pattaya and Phuket being just absolutely overrun with tourists, and the areas not being able to cope. It's getting to be a bit like Paris or Rome, during the summer time. No thanks. Thrilled I don't live in either area.
  11. It is likely the people will again choose this new party as they want progress, they want the country to move forward, and they want reform. However there are some very toxic powers in Thailand, who don't want anything to change because the status quo means billions upon billions upon billions, and all that matters to them is money and power. Nothing else matters. The people do not matter one iota to these lowlifes.
  12. As usual the do-nothing PM, is making more hollow promises that will never be followed up. We will enforce the ban on burning. And it never gets enforced. No penalties, no nothing. We will do something about poorly maintained diesel vehicles. And nothing is ever done, because the cops are too lazy, and the highway patrol refuses to patrol the highway, and the special hotlines you set up, do not know anything about the program, or the laws. We care about the environment. Yeah right. Another bald faced lie. You care not, you see the air, you talk about the air, and the sea and the land, and you do nothing about the any of it. More empty words from the "do nothing men".
  13. It doesn't matter how much outrage there is, the decades have proven that the tuk tuk and taxi mafias are far more powerful than the police or the army. They operate above any and all laws.
  14. Absolutely correct it has circumstances, so did easing visa restrictions on Russian nationals, and essentially inviting in the Bratva to operate in Thailand. That has consequences that will last decades, but the worst consequences are inviting inexperienced simpletons to run an entire government, and then pretending it's a democracy.
  15. You may interpret them as silly insults, but many others would interpret them as just simply speaking truth, and saying it like I see it. Alot of Trump supporters don't like to hear him being criticized.
  16. I believe that his ridiculous trade war with China started this entire inflationary cycle, do you remember how much it jacked prices throughout the US for farmers and many others? It also caused disruptions in the supply chain, and in reality he could have been the architect of the current inflationary cycle. I could name many other inane policies.
  17. Well, we already know how ridiculous he and Vance are. So, that would allow the American people to know they have two very bad choices.
  18. At last we know where the Shire was. I always suspected Middle Earth was in Indonesia.
  19. It would mean that the nation was not democratic, and was run by greedy autocrats and the military, who ignore the will of the people at their own peril.
  20. Well, I take some things seriously. But, not this post! I take a limited amount of people seriously, as I do not think at any point in history, has the world had as many absolutely fools as it does now!
  21. His campaign is floundering. He and Vance are desperately trying to reclaim the limelight. He hopes he can regain some momentum. His fundraising is not going well. He just cannot seem to get much traction. It would appear that Trump fatigue is setting in.
  22. I seriously doubt the revenue department has the resources to monitor every spouse, of every foreigner's bank account in the country, 24/7. That would be an enormous leap in sophistication from where the country presently is. Of course transferring money from her account to my account within a short period of time of receipt of the funds from overseas would look suspicious, but there are far more creative ways to transfer assets.
  23. Well it's essentially the same thing, we're really nitpicking at this point. If a spouse receives 5 million baht, is it even possible that the revenue department is even going to consider the possibility that the husband would not benefit from it, much less be able to prove it? I don't think so. It would appear to be a deliberate loophole in the law.
  24. The Nargeolet family are highly deluded people. Multiple experts had spoken out long in advance about the lack of safety protocols, the questionable materials being used for the submersible, and the techniques used to develop it, along with the lack of research on the vessel. It was an accident waiting to happen, the carbon fiber that they used for the skin had never been tested in those kind of depths, and the level of risk was off the Richter scale.
  25. Political activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana is a bought and paid for shrill, who is simply doing what has been requested of him, by the toxic powers that are preventing Thailand from becoming a modern nation and democracy, progressing and evolving into the future. He is a highly toxic force and must be stopped.
