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?

Health minister Anutin named acting transport minister
spidermike007 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -
PM Inspects Projects in Ratchaburi Province
spidermike007 replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand
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.

CD Collection For Sale or For Use As Loan Guarantee
spidermike007 replied to maisodni's topic in Bangkok
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? -
Summer storm warning for Bangkok and 41 other provinces

Well, that is greed, short sightedness, avarice, gluttony, and rapacity, but it sure isn't pride, or anything good or noble. -
Protesters rally in Bangkok’s Ratchadamnoen on Tuesday morning
spidermike007 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
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.

Four new airlines to join Thailand’s crowded skies
spidermike007 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
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. -
Giant seaweed blob twice the width of the US takes aim at Florida

Florida is facing many problems. Perhaps the green blob is coming to rescue the state. -
Thai banks unaffected by two recent US bank failures
spidermike007 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thai banks are notoriously conservative. Their lending criteria are ridiculously difficult, unlike many US banks. But, we shall see. The worldwide economy may be in for a rough ride. Major corrections are likely to happen. The economy is still way too over inflated. -
There are alot of potential solutions. Doing nothing is the worst possible scenario. Titanium dioxide is an expensive material to build with (increasing construction costs by 5%) but it has a remarkable property; it reacts with some forms of air pollution in the presence of light to neutralise them. In 2015 a 13,000 square foot building called the Palazzo Italia in Milan was opened, and it was covered in this material. When opened the people behind the design claimed it could remove 1000 cars worth of air pollution from the air each day! https://innovate-eco.com/17-innovative-ways-to-reduce-air-pollution-in-our-cities/

I do not like Fauci. Has little to do with the man. I just think he was a mouthpiece for Big Pharma, the CDC, the WHO, and the FDA. None of whom I trust. And while I am not anti vax, I always questioned the narrative of Covid. On many levels. I think it is healthy to question the narrative, especially when most of the big players are on the same page. However, the conservatives are simply using this as a talking point, and have little to back up their assertions. It is all getting very old, very stale, and very dumb.
