  1. Weak, and rather simple minded speculation. Almost two decades now.
  2. I would be even happier if Musk joins him on the trip!
  3. He is very comfortable with low quality, lowlife picks. He feels right at home. And he does not like smart people advising him. It makes him feel like his intelligence level is modest, which it is.
  4. Ladyboys should use men's toilets. Period. And they should use men's locker rooms, if on a sports team. Don't let the 00.2% dictate policy. Just say no.
  5. The cause of the accident is an extreme lack of driving skill, coupled with recklessness, or simple stupidity. It should never have happened. People could have died.
  6. Not only 50, but one of the most truly bizarre looking women out there. She looks like a top patron of a plastic surgeon. Leo has good taste. No doubt about that. Bezos does not.
  7. This was likely a smart move he knows how incredibly vindictive Trump can be, and had he not at least made the appearance of being friendly who knows what Trump might have been capable of?
  8. Nothing less than negligent homicide charges against the top executives of this company and fines into the billions of baht, for being a decade being schedule. This highway construction is an abomination, and should be a huge embarrassment to the government. If they had any pride to begin with.
  9. The only way to survive here on the road, is to be patient, have eyes in the back of your head, drive with caution, and always, and I mean always watch out of the other guy. Chances are, he does not have much driving skill, nor patience, nor reason, nor common sense. You cannot be too careful on the road here. Especially considering that the toy police offer no traffic safety, prevention, enforcement of the law, or concern toward the prosecution of very reckless drivers. Those of us with driving skill, and a strong desire for not only survival, but the avoidance of terrible injury, are constantly scanning the road, in front of us, beside us, and behind us. There are an exceptionally high number of reckless fools on these roads, and it is the only way to preserve our lives, and those of our families, and friends, who may be driving with us, and depending on us. Many of us drive motorcycles or scooters here, and it is dangerous getting on the roads with some of these other drivers. Getting on a scooter, or a motorcycle anywhere in Thailand, much less Phuket, Phangan, Dark Tao, or Samui without a very good helmet, is like playing Russian Roulette with three or four bullets in the chamber. It is absolutely asking for problems. The degree of recklessness here is astounding. And many foreigners come here thinking "how much trouble could I get in on a little scooter, on a tropical island"? Well, the answer is alot. The amount of foreigners who are killed on the Southern islands is staggering. Most are not reported in the media. I had a friend who worked for Samui rescue for many years, and said the numbers were about 30-60 a month, on Samui, Phangan and Koh Tao. The official number is about 3 a month. Rider beware. Use as good a helmet as you can afford, and do not use these eggshells pieces of crap. They crack at the first impact, and what lies underneath them? Your skull, which is very delicate.
  10. Everything about the construction of this highway is truly an abomination, they are over a decade behind schedule, it looks like there are 20 years to go before they reach out to Phetchaburi, considering they're only at kilometer 35, and even that section is not complete. In my opinion the top officials of this company should be fined hundreds of millions of dollars for their failure to follow a respectable schedule, and making Rama II the hazed it is. In addition the top officials should be bought to trial for negligent homicide as a result of this accident.
  11. That is funny. I am not deciding anything. I am merely witnessing it happening. Deny all you want. You can support him. No reason to deny who and what he truly is.
  12. Total nonsense, total rubbish, and total fiction. The southern islands always have been and will continue to be some of the most corrupt places in Thailand, some of the least safe places in Thailand, and some of the least eco-friendly places in Thailand. There's nothing sustainable about the growth in Phuket, same applies to Samui. They are completely out of control, there's barely any zoning that's enforced, and development is rampant and willy-nilly. This entire article is total hogwash. Meant for consumption by the most naive amongst us.
  13. Well this is something that he certainly didn't ask for, they did that silly ceremony entirely of their own free will, so how he reacts to it is entirely on him. If the "netizens" want to get annoyed let them get annoyed. This world is populated by snowflakes these days who are just looking for excuses to become victims, he had no obligation whatsoever to respond in any manner. He's a world famous celebrity who values his privacy and does not seek the spotlight, from everything I've ever heard about him he's a very graceful man so I pay no attention to this kind of garbage.
  14. False. Revisionist history. In the fall of 2022, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a civil suit against Trump, his adult sons, and his former aide Allen Weisselberg, alleging a years-long scheme in which Trump fraudulently reported the value of properties in order to either lower his tax bill or improve the terms of his loans, all with an eye toward inflating his net worth. In another case the charges included willful retention of national-security information, obstruction of justice, withholding of documents, and false statements. Trump took boxes of documents to properties, where they were stored haphazardly, but the indictment centered on his refusal to give them back to the government despite repeated requests. And in yet another case In Fulton County, Georgia, which includes most of Atlanta, District Attorney Fani Willis brought a huge racketeering case against Trump and 18 others, alleging a conspiracy that spread across weeks and states with the aim of stealing the 2020 election. More than any other case, this one attempts to reckon with the full breadth of the assault on democracy following the 2020 election. Shall I go on?
  15. A very sharp pencil to the neck can be a wonderful instrument and it in particular case if applied properly this vermin would never again attempt such an act. Cretins like this must be stopped, with whatever means possible by the woman who's being harassed. Especially when they have a low life mother who would do absolutely nothing to safeguard the person that they've been sworn to protect. If you're incapable, if you don't have the capacity, if you are unwilling to demonstrate the courage to do the right thing when it comes to protecting your children, just don't have them to begin with. You doing them and everyone else a disservice by reproducing randomly like that.
  16. You can dress a swine in royal garments, however that does not change the nature of the creature. I see a lot of revisionist history going on with people making desperate attempts to try to clean up this man's history, which is chock-full of criminality, fraud ill behavior, billions upon billions of dollars stolen from unsuspecting small contractors, multi-billion dollar bankruptcies, and all kinds of malfeasance, bad behavior and scandals. None of that has changed, everything remains the same, the only difference is now he has the power to attempt to clean up his reputation. And he has millions upon millions of millions willing to lie for him and claim that he's a saint. Fortunately there are still hundreds of millions around the world who are not buying into the whitewashing. Myself included. I know who he is, and nothing that he does or says can change that.
  17. I can always count on you for a contrary opinion, nobody was done. The family got a lot of pride out of this, I got my money back and it was all good.
  18. The difference being that in America a shooting is much more likely to be random, in Thailand it's very rarely random and it's almost always targeted, the vast majority of homicides here are Thai on Thai, and they're related to crime, drugs or loansharks, or something of that nature
  19. First of all I'm not a leftist, I'm a Centrist Democrat. If you want to call me a communist or a social socialist or a leftist go ahead, but for me it's just junk, and nonsense. Be nonsensical if you want, if it makes you feel good. I have no problem with hearing truth or opinions, I just think Musk is a highly ignorant man and sometimes I wish he would keep that ignorance to himself. This is not partisan, this is just reality. It's possible you can't separate the two.
  20. If you attempt to apply even the slightest effort to establish an understanding of Thai culture you will realize that so many elements are dictated by the need to save face, amongst the family, amongst and the villagers, and once you realize that you can figure out all kinds of creative workarounds. In our particular case it was a very simple creative workaround, that allowed the family to save face, and hold their chins high, and it was all good. I trusted the family, we got the money back, there were no issues. If you do not make an attempt to understand Thai culture your entire time here in Thailand will be a battle instead. I enjoy every single day I'm here. The other aspect to this is that if the woman you want to marry does not understand this, and does not have your back on this, then you know she's the wrong woman and you just move on.
  21. This is incredibly reckless policy and it shows just how little Trump knows about the economy. He's never been a particular great businessman, he is a talented grifter, though. He's starting to demonstrate that already, this is a move that will cause a spike in inflation and this is nothing but a massive tax hike on the American people.
  22. This is a man who has not worn his wealth and his power with grace. He seems to be increasingly annoying and he seems to say increasingly mindless stuff as time goes along. I for one hope he volunteers for his own Mars mission, build a house on Mars and just stays there. I find him very annoying. Jeff Bezos on the other hand seems to pretty much keep to himself, and avoid constant demonstration of extreme ignorance.
  23. Try the approach we used, we agreed to pay a 400,000 baht dowry, but the agreement was that we would give it to the parents the day before and we would get it back the day after, so it was strictly a face-saving measure for the family and it worked out fine.
  24. A tourist visa is the most difficult category to get for a Thai citizen, visiting the US. A student visa is the second hardest to get. We tried, we failed, it doesn't matter what assets he has as there is no such thing as a sponsored visa and there hasn't been for a very long time. It's not about a quota, it's about her inability to show sufficient assets. Once we were married it was relatively easy for her to get a 10-year multiple entry visa.
