Let me guess, you didn't even watch the video did you?

To all the useful idiots on this chat who would prefer to support terrorists. I was gonna write a big spiel but who's going to believe me. I think it would be much better to put this video on here by colonel Richard Kemp, an expert in urban warfare. If you really want to know what is going on please listen to him. He is a Christian British colonel.

19 years ago, I had a crown fall off a post while I was in Khon Kaen, I was advised to go to the university and see the dentist there. I did that and he drilled the post out leaving quite a large hole. When I went back to the dentist in Australia, my dentist threw his hands up in horror and said it just needed unscrewing. 🥺 I have been to a few dentists in Phuket and was happy with their work. Over the last 5 years, I have now gone to India for my dental work, less than 1/4 the price than in Thailand and the dentists speak Inglish plus all the latest equipment, unbelievably clean surgery, and great surgeons. 🤣 7 implants and 10 crowns later, I am very happy. Only worth doing this if you need a lot of dental work.

Thailand’s potential U-turn on cannabis legalization (post-2022) risks severe societal harm: **1. Economic Collapse & Unemployment** Shutting legal cannabis shops would destroy livelihoods overnight. Thousands of business owners, staff, and farming communities—many in tourism-heavy areas—face financial ruin, pushing families into poverty. **2. Prison Overcrowding & Corruption** Re-criminalizing cannabis would jail non-violent users, straining Thailand’s prisons. Meanwhile, police could exploit prohibition for bribes, reviving cycles of corruption seen in past drug crackdowns. **3. Public Health Crisis** Prohibition pushes users to unregulated markets, increasing risks of harder drug use (e.g., methamphetamine). Bans may also spike alcohol consumption, raising road accidents and addiction rates. **4. Black Markets & Crime Surge** Organized crime would dominate cannabis trade, inflating prices and incentivizing theft, armed robberies, and violence. Illegal markets thrive under prohibition—see Mexico’s drug war parallels. **5. Tourism & Global Reputation** Thailand’s progressive cannabis policies drew medical tourists and boosted its image. Recriminalization could deter visitors, especially as rivals like Germany embrace legalization. **6. Family & Social Strain** Mass arrests and unemployment fracture families, while crime waves erode community safety. Recriminalization solves nothing—it fuels crime, corruption, and inequality. Thailand should refine regulations, not revive failed prohibition.

I am sorry, Australians are not a race. 🤣

And Penny Wong and Albo and the ABC news will back you up.. 🤣

Thais tend to not know what pressure the tires have in there or what it should be. They squeeze the tires and I would bet that anyone that knows what pressure in the tires using this method would lose a bet. My gf took her yamaha aerox to her mechanic. I was shocked when the mechanic squeezed the tires. I asked what pressure should be in them. He said they felt right. I pulled out my pressure gauge and front tire ias 12 lbs and rear was 17. They should be Front 29 rear 33. I said he should use a gauge but is seemed to go over his head. For your question, I would say, don't look down at the road, look where you want to go and a bigger bike would handle the road better. It may move around a little on the road, don't panic, don't grab the front brake in panic. Find out what pressure should be in your tires, carry a pressure gauge and check them regularly yourself when they are cold. If a Thai mechanic checked them last, I would guess they are way out.

Hi, I have a house, which I have been living in for the last 2 years near Robinson's, Chalong, and over this time I have had 4 tradesmens in to fix our leaky roof. Some have been back many times. The last time, it leaked so bad our ceiling caved in and dropped into the kitchen.. It is leaking mainly from the gutter, (which was totally replaced) in a couple of places. It does have corrugated concrete asbestos roof which if I could find someone competent to remove it and replace the roof I would be happy to do that. I know when it is disturbed it can be a health hazard. This roofing material is just over the kitchen in the back of the house, and over the verandah/carport in front of the house. Also any suggestions of what is a good option to replace them with. I would like to renovate the kitchen but not until I know the leaking is 100% fixed. Thanks in advance.. Any roofing repair people you can personally recommend would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Funding should have been cut when it first started years ago. The Palestinian Authority's "Pay for Slay" program dates back to 2004. It was formalized with the passage of the Palestinian Prisoners Law, which provides financial support to Palestinians imprisoned by Israel for acts of violence. This law was later amended in 2013. The more Israelis you kill the more money you or your family get. The greatest % of the PA's budget goes towards pay for slay. The UN does nothing. The ICC? No The ICJ? Nope. Biden? No . Gone now. 🙏 While on Biden, we wouldn't be where we were Biden didn't release billions of $$ to Iran and other terrorist NGO's like the UNWRA. Trump had cut off all their funding, Biden reinstated it. Penny Wong reinstated Australia paying for UNWRA terrorist network. Large amounts of money is coming from Western countries. Now the IRGC are closer than ever to a nuclear bomb. They have enough Uranium and plutonium to build several nuclear weapons. Israel, Saudi Arabia and other gulf states have been threatened by the IRGC.

Thanks, I must have been dreaming at the time I wrote that, but when I woke up, I realised that I was wrong. Now I see the woke are still sleeping.

President Javier Milei, a great man with huge Balls.. All strength to him. We need more world leaders following in his footsteps.

Lol, they were too embarrassed to put their name on the article.. I think most normal people will disagree to DEI.

I have been transferring for just over a year with wise now. Rates are better than at money changers or normally same as XE. This is AUD (Commonwealth bank) to THB (Kasikorn) My experiences it is normally transferred instantaneously. I am currently still using wise and I am very happy. Almost as soon as I press the button to transfer, Kasikorn bank sends me a message to say it's in there within a few seconds. There was one time it took a 5 days to transfer. I was ringing wise every day (free to call them from the app) to see what was happening and they told me there was a problem with their partner bank in Thailand. Screenshot of transaction below. With timeline of 5 day wait as I haven't heard of a transfer taking that long. I have also put a friend onto wise, all his have been immediately transfered.

Maybe just one reason could be Farage's attitude towards Tommy Robinson, who exposed the grooming rape gangs in the UK. Just today the United Arab Emirates declared the UK to be harbouring Islamic terrorists. The sane islamic countries can see what's happening.

How about the Thai government suing Hamas.. as there are still eight Thais held in the terror dungeons in Gaza for the last 450 days plus another 91 others including 1 from Nepal and one from Tanzania. HAMAS have declared 2 supposedly dead so that leaves six alive. Where is the outcry from Thailand? Where is the outcry from the world? The only out cry I hear is against Israel trying to get them back. The world is so deluded that they say Israel is committing genocide whereas they have the best civilian to terrorist ratios in history. Since October 7th 2023, the population of Gaza has increased. They have been many more babies born in Gaza than people killed, even according to HAMAS figures. This is a very strange genocide.

Personally, I don't believe Sharia law should be practised in any western countries. But.. Mohammad is also the most popular name in Israel too for many years. There is also Sharia practised in Israel for the Islamic population. State recognition: The Israeli government officially recognizes and regulates the Sharia courts, with judges appointed by the Knesset. Not fully implemented: While Sharia law is applied in these courts, it is not a governing law for the entire Israeli population, and other legal systems operate alongside it. Mohammad comes in at 53rd for baby names in Australia. Australia doesn't recognise Sharia law. First Nations people make up a small proportion (3.8%) of the Australian population. Yet they are over-represented in Australia's prison system, making up 32% of the total prison population, and are incarcerated at much higher rates than non-Indigenous Australians (ABS 2023a, ABS 2023b).May 9, 2567 BE Penny Wong needs to clean her house out before denigrating Australia's Allies and accusing them of every sin under the sun. Funny how Australia and most of the world accuses Israel of being an apartheid state. I am just stating facts from Google references.

As long as you aren't a terrorist you will be ok..

My cat brings in cockroaches to play with. Half escape in the house.

I would say all drugs should be legalised or at the least decriminalised. Would you rather the criminals, mafia, crime families to be running the drug trade leading to corruption of police, politicians, judges, murders, blackmail, including other related crime in weapon sales, large numbers (up to 80%) of people in prisons for drug related crime.. Or.. having it controlled by the government, where people could get education, drug rehabilitation, not tear families apart, better relations of public with police, more time for police to fight real crime? There should be sensible laws to control of drugs like making it a crime for the seller, selling to children under 18 Drugs are a health issue, the war on drugs has been a horrible failure. What on earth is to be gained making them illegal. Many people that go to jail start using hard drugs in jail. If they can't keep drugs out of jails, how do you think making them illegal will stop people them using them or keep them out of society. The more crackdowns of drugs, the higher the cost of drugs become, the more incentive there is for people to sell drugs. There would also be a lot less muggings in the street, scams, house breakings, and insurance policy prices would naturally drop. If someone wants to use drugs, making them illegal will not stop them from using them. Look at the current situation we find ourselves in. Try thinking outside the box. If someone wants to overdose on heroin, well let them, they will and can do it now. Think of the amount of money that would be saved which could be used for rehabilitation and educating people what the drugs do their body, brain and family life. Ex heroin addicts should be going around schools to educate the young from using drugs and where they could end up.

I was one that had problems with wise a couple of months ago. It took 1 week for the transfer. They said they were having problems with their partner bank in Thailand. That was all sorted I've transferred money since then and it goes through incredibly quick. As ID I think it was just passport, that wasn't complicated, went through quickly. That was about 9 months ago. I only ever had the one problem, but that would not put me off wise. I did download Remitly as a backup. It seems to be quite good similar rates to wise, but one good thing is you can send money without it having to go into an account. You can pick up at any bank you nominate. You can even have it delivered to your door. Has anyone ever used Remitly? Looks like home delivery isn't for Thailand. From their site. Bank deposit Bank deposit is the best option if you have a bank account and want to save the money or withdraw cash when you need it. Cash pickup If you don't use a bank account or just prefer to use cash, this is a great option. Find a nearby pickup location that works best for you, then collect your cash using a picture ID and a reference number. Mobile money If you use an app on your phone to pay for what you need, receiving money directly in the mobile money app of your choice might be the most convenient option. Home delivery If you live in the Dominican Republic, Philippines, or Vietnam, you can have cash delivered directly to you by courier. This option works great if you live in a rural area or it's not easy for you to get to a nearby cash pickup location.

You forgot the Christians, Buddhists and all the other religions living in Israel. Easier, just say you are anti Semitic and ban Jews.

This video is by an Iranian ex Muslim to give you a perspective on what and why the war is happening

A great video about the mentality of HAMAS, islamists and jahidists explained by an ex Muslim Iranian.
