9 illegal immigrants sitting in a truck 9 illegal immigrants sitting in a truck and the police pulled them over and said 'your out of luck' There are no illegal immigrants in that goddam truck. (to the tune of 10 green bottles?)

Sun has been there for two years already. This may be the drone footage that caused the upset. https://www.msn.com/en-us/pets-and-animals/wildlife/rescuers-plan-to-save-lonely-elephant-stranded-on-island-for-two-years/vi-AA1ANZPP

This is sooo true. I ride a bike wherever I go in Thailand (except Bangkok). Also in Vietnam and Laos. Chiang Mai and Phuket drivers, to an extent, are pretty respectful to the road rules and bikes, but everywhere else, forget the rules. When guests tell me that they want to rent scooters, I warn them of this scenario along the lines of 'when you are riding the scooter, you must assume that everyone else in a vehicle is trying to kill you'.

No it doesn't. It highlights one nasty neighbour who probably does not like dogs. Dogs bark regularly near my place. Always, when a 'stranger' is in the area. That stranger can be a person, another dog, a snake or whatever. 25 years of living here, doors and windows always open, safe because barking dogs keep it that way.

Sadly, this is quite common in some schools. My wife was a kindergarten teacher for many years and she often had to reprimand the teaching assistants for doing things like this. Mind you, some Thai parents were worse. One even gave my wife a rolled up, taped newspaper when he brought his daughter into school on the first day of term. He said to my wife 'if she is naughty, hit her with this'. My wife binned the paper.

Disgusting attitude. How about respecting life?

The sad thing is that many folk think that vaping is safe.

I do not understand why so many folk think that vaping and smoking cigarettes are the same. OK. With both, you suck in crap and stuff up your lungs. Both contain nicotine. https://vapingadvisor.com/learn/nicotine-cigarette-vs-vape/ There the similarity ends. The manufacture of cigarettes is controlled and taxed. There is zero control and tax on what people in a back street garage put into the vape liquid. Many products sold for vaping contain drugs.

It is estimated that by 2024, 21,000 workers had died on the project, and at least 20,000 indigenous people have been relocated. An estimated 100,000 people have been reported as 'disappeared'. https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/21000-workers-reported-to-have-died-while-building-saudi-arabias-the-line-385614/ But hey - the people who devised the scheme are mega rich so no one cares

Unfortunately, it is the law. Also, smoking (of anything) in parliament and other government premises is banned.

Thailand is not moving forward for the majority of the Thais who live in poverty (or near poverty) at the bottom of the food chain. The majority of these 'major infrastructure projects' tend to only help those with money, or those in Bangkok. The population of Bangkok is projected to increase to just over 11 million people this year. The population of Thailand is estimated at 77.1 million people. Bangkok is not Thailand, but it is the only bit that the politicians look after.

No surprises there.

Not many MP's in the government parties would pass that test.

What? It needed a further inspection to see the cloth? He was discovered at 20:00, emergency people were not called until 23:00 but the police did not come until 10:00 Why the delays? Definitely something fishy. The more excuses that the officials make, the more dodgy it sounds. As for yesterday's comment from the justice minister re the woman/transgender prisoner in the next cell having a period......... This one is very confusing. Mind you, I am not to upset that this bad cop is no longer with us.

I am glad that she survived. Many who fall at the waterfalls do not. Well done to the rescuers.

More brown envelopes, more traffic jams and more delays? Do Thais understand what a bypass is?

Strange story. Why did he argue with the owner of the bike when it was the mechanic that did the damage?

Words do not punish children. Neither does negotiating. Some pain does. Smacking a child is nowhere near the same as beating a child. I was smacked at home and caned at school - within reason. I always deserved it and soon learned to just 'be a good boy'.

'Palestinians' voted Hamas in during elections. Supporting any cause does not give you the right to break the law and cause criminal damage.

Until the Thai curriculum is changed, most kids will not have the relevant skills for anything other than manual jobs. Teach children to think and to question, not just to follow orders.

Lots of fat, brown envelopes.

Is he the father of the unborn foal? Would that be a centaur rather than a foal?

FFS Why?

Talking will not stop the murdering scum from killing innocent people. Thailand has been 'talking' with these terrorists for years to no avail. Maybe offer rewards for informers?

The expression 'pizzing into the wind' comes to mind.
