In the US, the difference in cost between the CX-30 and the CX5 is not that much. Wonder why it is so much more here. I like the extra space of the CX5, but was unwilling to pay the vast difference. Go for either. Great cars.

We did alot of research, before buying our Mazda CX-30. It is the best small SUV on the market, for the money, in my opinion. Handles great, looks good and is fun to drive. Well appointed, with a Bose sound system that sounds excellent. 1.2 million baht. Worth it. The Honda HRV and the Toyota Cross are utterly boring by comparison.

Used cars are very easy to sell here, if the price is fair, and the car is solid. I have sold a few cars and bikes. Facebook, Craigslist, many online forums for listing. The market is strong for used cars and motorbikes.

Don't charge them. Don't jail them. Just transfer them at full pay. And continue sending the message that corruption is not only expected, but condoned. The crime is not the taking of bribes. The crime is getting caught or embarrassing the RPT.

I tend to agree. Not much harm. Immigration is so overly toxic here, it is a kind of sick justice that we can skirt their rules with a bribe. I have no issues with that.

How often do we hear of an active police chief being brought up on charges? Never. Can't wait till they go after the big joke. It is likely that only some Papuan Korowai tribesmen have more skeletons in their closets.

That would suggest mostly Ukrainians. I think most in Phuket are Russians. So, how about little Saint Petersburg?

Are there any immigration offices where bribes are not possible? Many even encourage them. On my last visit a very senior officer actually tried to refer me to an agent, who would accept the bribe on her behalf. The stink is nationwide. No amount of posturing by the Joke, changes anything. Same applies to the department he leads. The RTP. Does he not profit from all the nonsense?

Since his genius and his skills know no bounds, it makes sense to load him up with important appointments. After all, if an engineer can become a health minister and expert during a pandemic, why not transport minister too? His mind is so vast, he has no limitations. Anutin the Amazing.

When you consider the fact that it is unlikely any of them will ever see the inside of a jail call, it seems like an awful lot of effort, to pull off this public charade. But, that is who and what the big joke is all about. PR deception.

My wife's family is far and wide, and she has a huge circle of Thai friends. They are all unanimous, in their condemnation of Prayuth, and this sorry administration. And some of them work in government.

Excellent. More politicians should be shouted down here. The people should be able to express their extreme displeasure at the horrible performance of these goons. Prayuth deserves no respect. Kudos to this lady for telling it like it is. Cha Cha, you are a dreadfully poor leader.

Nowhere else in the world have I seen people consistency take the kinds of chances and risks in the road, that they take here, with their families in the car. Nowhere. When they could have waited four seconds to make the uturn or turn onto the highway, and have a completely clear path, they instead choose to take a tremendous risk. It is beyond comprehension. I see it all the time. My eyes do not lie to me. This rarely ever happens to me in the US. The vast majority of terrible accidents here are human errors, that could not have been avoided. If I decide to cut you off on a highway, when you are going 120kph, and I am making a u-turn, and there was plenty of room behind you for me to make a safe turn, is that an error, if it results in a horrific, fatal accident, and I take the lives of you and your family? Sometimes an error is wearing white after Labor day in New York City. And sometimes an error is invading Germany in the winter.

The poll was likely limited to the people who work in the department that controls alcohol. There is about a zero percent chance the public would support the silly, juvenile, draconian rules regarding the prohibition of purchasing alcohol during certain hours, or on certain holidays. Zero.

Silver feels like a far better move. More liquidity and far more upside.

Though I do anticipate some major corrections in the markets, some major bank collapses, a huge real estate shakeout and the Dow dropping to as low as 6,000, nobody knows when it will happen. Kiyosaki has been predicting doom for quite some time. Nothing new there.

Huh? I sold my CD collection ten years ago. Got around $200 for over 1,000 CD's. They are likely worth even less now. Does anyone listen to them anymore? Does anyone watch DVD's anymore? I have thousands of them, I would sell, but I doubt anyone would want them. Nigeria?

Well, that is greed, short sightedness, avarice, gluttony, and rapacity, but it sure isn't pride, or anything good or noble.

The real question is, now that covid is over, and the draconian restrictions have been eased, why aren't there millions of Thais protesting in the streets? Have they been scared into submission?

The absolute absence of truth is a sign of the total degradation of moral character and any sense of ethics or fair play. These guys will say or do anything. They are utterly depraved. The number of people suffering from health problems is likely in the hundreds of thousands. Attempting to mislead the public not only accomplishes nothing, it exposes you for exactly who you are, Ekwaranyu.

It would be huge. And smaller regional airports like Hua Hin desperately need to be put to use. It is perhaps the most under utilized airport in the nation.

Landarch and Siam Seaplane both sound quite interesting. Hope they both serve a wider variety of locations. Transport alternatives are desperately needed here, with the severely choked roads.

And at 2,200 generals for a half million armed forces, Thailand likely has the highest ratio of generals to soldiers on earth. Why? Well, we know if has absolutely nothing to do with self defense. Does the army here serve any function, at all?

Every single Thai I speak with says everything has changed. It is gone.

Lock him up. He deserves no special treatment. And get him a shrink too. Just another prima donna.
