Enoon

It would have been OK a long time ago. Probably the swing thing now if someone else wants to set it up and pay for it! However the last time I tried a parkride I became so unwell it's unlikely I'll be doing that sort of thing again. Likewise when I took some aerobatic instruction to book as my yearly checkflight.......there will be no more of that thanks!......just one loop was enough! It took me about 2 hours to recover downstairs!

In it is not clear to me that Mr Celsius was, directly or obliquely, saying either of those things in his post. I hope you will not be offended by my questioning of your interpretation of his contribution.

I would have thought unlikely to happen to either for merely being involved in a traffic accident.

Absolute, misinformed.........balderdash. domesticated adjective adjective: domesticated (of an animal) tame and kept as a pet or on a farm. "domesticated dogs" You don't deserve the courtesy of a rational argument.

Your garden is full of wild animals. That, and the local area over which the cats roam, is where domestic cats exterminate wild creatures numbering 10's of millions. Australia is on the case. 2021: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/australias-cats-kill-two-billion-animals-annually-180977235/ "Feral cats are not the only problem: The parliamentary report also found that Australia’s almost 3.8 million pet cats kill up to 390 million animals every year." 2023: https://www.coopsandcages.com.au/blog/cat-curfew/ "These new laws see pet owners facing up to $1,600 in fines if their cats stray and are caught by rangers. It is the beginning of rules for cats matching up with the rules for unleashed dogs and may eventually become a nation wide restriction." Horrific damage being done to wildlife in UK by domestic cats......and everywhere else that "cat lovers" proliferate. Nothing to do with the "jungle".

My guess is that this is just another example of their atrocious English knowledge and usage. Possibly they had something like "White Listing" accommodation in their poor, half informed minds, when they sadly, inevitably made a total **** up of naming and presenting yet another.....sigh......."crackdown". Why the **** can they not run this sort of thing past a native Anglophone, before they puke it out into the public sphere? What can you say to them? What can you say?

Yes, it will become difficult for some to continue to live, or choose to live, in Thailand. See post immediately after your last post

It would be a question of costs rather than principle. It will require no xenophobic effort on the governments part. Developed society/economy = "developed" costs. How many expats will be able to afford it?

Singapore has 60 F-16s, 40 F-15s.......and 12 F-35s on the way. I think it probably has the edge on Thailand. I believe I saw a couple of its F-15s during Cobra gold '21. https://www.flightglobal.com/reports/2023-world-air-forces-directory/151088.article

AN member living nearby probably saw the CT4. He posted the day after (I think) the crash. It sounded like engine failure was occurring as it passed overhead his location. So one might speculate as to what might have happened within the CZ and dead stick. One might also wonder if, as the report implied, it actually made the runway. I only read the first report.

Living under a bridge is homeless. Living in a shack, with electricity, a bathroom and a bamboo floor ( the whole located under a bridge) for more than ten years, isn't. Millions of people live in similar domestic conditions in Thailand, and don't consider themselves homeless. These people are just getting a nicer home, courtesy of : "Local Authority Chief Saran Kettuthong, who organised temporary housing for them at a nearby police flat" But only "temporary".....while the old place is re-decorated? Nothing more than local official, very publicly, looking good..........temporarily.

I doubt that the regimes in Laos and Cambodia are feeling very happy about an outbreak of the hated Democracy, in their backyards, either. The next time someone asks who Thailand needs to defend itself against (and why the new government is looking to buy new armaments).......you know the answer.

And the final official results are: PPP 485 seats MFP 10 seats (but disqualified for not being PPP) PTP 5 seats (but disqualified for being PTP) All other parties disqualified for willfuly and irresponsibly making things too complicated. Final adjusted result: PPP 4,587 seats.

"A gold shop robber has sustained...." "failed gold shop robbery...." "....robbed a gold shop...." "The gold shop glass door....." And thank you for explaining that the things he stole were: "gold items"

You are absolutely correct. None of this is happening. It can't be.......really.......it can't

They are not giving it any consideration. They are awaiting orders.

And do you also mean that people in the West "don't know how lucky they are"?

Best use of time would be to reverse the verse and spend the time "beating the ploughshares,,,,," The imposed delay in the establishment of active governance is designed entirely to deaden the initiative of the the incoming administration, and remove any "wind of change" that may blow upon the sails of the "vessel of state". It is nothing more than a delaying tactic to facilitate Counter Democratic moves........of all kinds. .

And the same book to understand how China works?

Previously rather difficult for Free West to give direct materiel support to the resistance. Whereas China has direct land access to Myanmar and covets access to Indian Ocean. Chinas huge change from Regional Suzerainty to Global Ambition also makes Myanmar a greater area of concern for the Free West (and India) than it was. Ideological changes in Thailand may modify the situation.

This is not the first time that I have said that Thailand is, for many of a "certain sort" of Westerner, what South American countries were, after the Second World War, for a "certain sort" of German. Evidenced daily on these pages.

"But, my impression is that there are lots of Thais who look like Farangs, at least partially. Or maybe I've been in Thailand too long." Your "impression" is yours. What really leapt of the page at me is that you didn't use the term "Luk khrueng", The second thing was the clunky, awkward way that you expressed your ugly, sour, spiteful attitude. Hence my "impressions" of you are, first, that you are not familiar enough with Thailand for your "impression" of anything in or about it to be worth much, if anything, at all. And, second, that you are just the sort of White foreigner that I stay as far away from as possible. Really unpleasant contribution from you. I hope that a mod will kill it very soon.

I don't think buying him a load of dogs and killing them would have much effect. He'd probably want to join in with the mutt murdering. Maybe find out what his favourite animal is and buy him some of those instead? Hope it isn't elephants. I really hope it isn't Capybaras.......i love them.....that woman who punched one should have been hung, drawn and quartered. Dear God.....please don't let it be Capybaras!
