The only ones locked up without a trial are those locked up waiting for a trial. Please provide a reputable source for your unsubstantiated statement.

Trump stupidily thinks this will get him more votes in the election. It only excites the MAGA rubes who would have voted for him anyway. It will cost him undecideds and independents.

You're talking about the United States too, aren't you?

Russian. Hardly qualifies for any consideration. In fact, we should do anything we can to make their lives miserable.

What happened to Wilson?

But that would mean they would have to work hard and not sit around most of the day doing nothing while waiting for a foreigner to fleece.

Report them, or have a Thai you know report them. There's probably a reward of some sort available.

Diazepam (aka Valium) is too weak. I use bromazepam.

Been there, done that. Injectable morphine over the counter. Rohypnal(sp?) aka roofies OTC. Etc.

Then how did Trump ever get the job? Or be allowed to try and get it again?

A big nail in the Trump coffin.

From the linked article: They searched him and found one Diazepam pill on him. Looks like it's time to get out of Thailand. This is out of control.

I wouldn't think that the later stock of fat banana is necessarily the same as the earlier one. Likely a different grow and maybe even from a different source.

There's a very big gap in quality between your #1 and #2. OP needs to ignore casual drivers who own one for a few years, only driving to Tesco or the beach, and then replace it. This is obviously a working car that will get a lot of use. Ever notice that almost all the taxis are Toyotas?

Too bad that physics and the laws of momentum have little to do with traffic laws, especially in Thailand.

Wait for the Toyota. You'll kick yourself if you buy either of the other ones you mentioned.

P. O. Box. And I'm Canadian. The new rules that seem to be coming into effect may be detrimental to the handling my Vanguard accounts, so I'll go legal and get the international acct. And yes. I have a social security number as I worked legally in the US for a significant amount of time.

Depends if he hit the rear or the side of the bike. If it's the rear then the Chinese driver is at fault. Veering is irrelevant. How did you pass your driver's test?

Dunno. It's much more convenient though for me on many levels. Say I change condos and forget to inform Schwab. Or I'm traveling and not here to pick up the mail. Or the Thai postal system loses it. Etc.

Barking all night...

From the linked Pattaya news article: According to the police report, Mr. Peng Zhimin, a 36-year-old Chinese driver, told the police that while he was driving normally in the right-side lane, suddenly, ts theshe victim allegedly cut into his lane. His car then crashed into the victim’s motorbike at full force. So the Chinese driver struck the moto from the rear. Chinese driver at fault by traffic laws everywhere. Hopefully there's video to assess the car driver's story.

I saw Yakov Smirnoff in one of the comedy clubs in Hollywood in the 70's. One joke he told stood out. “What's the difference between a Russian lady and a Russian bear?“ Answer: “You don't have to shave the bear!“

Those annoying dogs that bark all night deserve to be poisoned. Not that the article states they were barking. Just saying.

I thought we were supposed to be helpful. My idea is hardly inappropriate. The appointment queue controls the amount of traffic in section 8. Walk-ins with no appointment will still need to queue up. Besides, if they shut it down, I will, as always, find the best/quickest way to get in. I was planning on changing my renewal date to low season but decided to see how well the appointment went. I had paperwork for both a 6 month and 12 month extension when I went for the appt. If it didn't go well I was going to do the 6 month one.

Hardly. I saw it live as the nonsense spouted out of Trump's mouth. It was at a covid status news conference. He was telling the experts they should try using bleach in the body. And lots of the MAGA rubes did try it and ended up in the hospital. Why do all the right wing nuts always try to blame the nonsense that comes out of Trump's mouth as jokes? The man has no sense of humor and couldn't tell a joke if his life depended on it
