    The best helmets I have found here for the money are Real. The comfort model fits well. They are about 2,500 baht. And well made. A good, open face helmet for running around the island.

    Those are government stats. Can anything these guys publish be trusted? I don't rely on those numbers. I don't think anyone should.

    It seems like insanity to me. Just when we are getting covid under control, invite back in the nation which has been least effective, due to draconian, and idiotic CCP policies. And let it spread once again. If anything, severely isolate the Chinese, until they get their act together. Make them pay the price for repressive government lunacy.

    If you are going to exaggerate at least use truthful descriptions. A despot: one exercising power tyrannically : a person exercising absolute power in a brutal or oppressive way. So, who are the despots you are describing? A savage is someone who is extremely cruel, violent and uncontrolled. Is that your take on the Thai populace?

    Correct and anyone who thinks big joke is clean, the crime buster he fastidious portrays himself as, or untainted by any the RTP status quo is beyond naive.

    When is the last time you remember China doing the right thing, or behaving as a responsible world citizen? It is not within the ability of the CCP to do so, or to show any regard or respect. Just not who they are. The world should just wise up, and refuse any Chinese tourist until China can prove Covid has gone away. Zero covid was Xi's disaster and the entire policy was based on hubris, arrogance and science denial.

    Are they even taking into account the so called labor shortage? Is there really a shortage or labor, or are we talking about millions who just don't want to work, or don't want to work for peanuts, while being bossed around by someone they don't like it and respect, and being asked to put in 60 plus hours a week.

    They are likely Thai nationals. There are alot of Indians born here, with Thai passports.

    Well, we are certainly in agreement there. While I am supportive of gay rights, I think the whole transgender thing has gone way too far in the US, as well as the 55 other "recognized identities" nonsense. It is beyond ridiculous and likely all inspired by toxic social media.

    He did. But like much of the 1950's it was so full of artifice, bordering on propaganda. It was all American swagger. It does not and did not feel real, or genuine. On the other hand, Rambo was intended as a fantasy character, yet seemed more real and heartfelt. Just my crazy perspective.

    Excellent. They are criminals by any reasonable definition. While they are at it, why not designated MBS, Pakistani intelligence, and other enemies of the state, as criminals and treat them as such? Politics? Oil?

    Sounds like this goofball is either living in an alternate universe, smoking too much ganga, drinking too much kool-aid, or simply dispensing nonsensical PR, which only 6 people believe. The franchisees are doing what they always do.

    Visit the agent. Push them, cajole them, don't take no for an answer.

    I disagree. I think very few are happy with the current regime. However, you are correct that very few are prepared to step up and take any risks. There are some very brave youth here. I really applaud them. My guess is their folks hate the regime as much as they do. For the most part, the heinous Thai army and PM have done an excellent job of repressing any signs of discontent.

    True. I meant Stallone played a cooler character as John Rambo, than most of the rather artificial, pretentious, smug, arrogant characters Wayne played.
  16. spidermike007
    I remember the good old days in NYC. I was there during the 80s. Amazing times. It was still quite funky and had tones of character. I hear the 70s were raw and amazing. Not the same at all now. Never partied with a commie, and I don't feel left out.

    Forgive me for being skeptical. Most Thais seem to be challenged on the highways. Imagine in space? Maybe they can be encouraged to send Prayuth, Prawit, and Anutin into space, where they belong.

    Some of us are hoping and praying he finally moves there and stops his nonsense tweets.
  19. spidermike007
    I would not disagree. Wonder how many work for the triads (Master Xi), and the CCP.
  20. spidermike007
    Between Rambo and Rocky, Stallone is the man! A true legend.
  21. spidermike007
    This is a good thing. The Thai people need to wake up from their slumber. No nation wants or needs dinosaurs running it. The lack of progress here, on nearly every front, except a few infrastructure projects is a humiliation for the people.
  22. spidermike007
    This man is so sad and out of touch with reality. He might was well be saying we don't want to face our past and it is not good for us white men to learn and progress. So, let us "whitewash" the books and just deny and forget. I sure hope some of his skeletons get unearthed. He would not make a good, or forward thinking leader.
  23. spidermike007
    Why on earth would he be wearing a mask for an endemic, weak, feeble variant? I applaud him for that.
  24. spidermike007
    Doesn't it feel like they have given up on finding a cure for cancer? Or maybe they have, but there is just too much money at stake.

    Yes. Unbelievable speeds with True. I sometimes clock 300mbps! I am in the US right now, and the True network blows away the speeds I get here with Verizon. At a quarter of the price. Impressive.
