Still much faster and much much better value than HS2 is managing in the UK.

It is Thai owned.

Yes, you're wrong. Operational speed will be 250km/h. That particular train is designed for up to 400km/h though, but not in Thailand.

No. Help was asked for, and accepted. And projects implemented on the back of it. Here an interview with Dutch water experts telling people exactly what they did here in 2011. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/30403751 And the rest of my earlier post that you ignored: In 2011 the government officially invited Dutch experts like Adri Verwey and Tjitte Nauta to join top level discussions with the PM and government agencies. Both Dutch and Swiss experts were involved and were asked to be by the Thai government (confirmed by the British Ambassador at the time). It wasn't advice that was given and ignored, it was advice that was asked for, and many long term projects were launched off the back of it. https://www.dutchwatersector.com/news/dutch-experts-helped-thai-authorities-to-combat-bangkok-floods?utm_source=chatgpt.com Thailand has since signed many MOUs with the Dutch on water management. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/30403751?utm_source=chatgpt.com They have since spent billions of dollars on water management projects with Dutch input. If you have been in Thailand any period of time you would know this and can clearly see the improvements in infrastructure, especially in and around Bangkok.

Looks similar to my house, I think I have three or four 280 bag boxes. Except mine don't need to plugged in to a USB....

Not when there is an actual court case to report on. Seven separate news stories on the BBC in the past week or so reporting from the courtroom. What would you like them to say for today when there is no court in session?

Jeez, I must have explained the entire thing three times already in this thread. It is not hard to wrap your head around if you are willing to actually read information that is presented to you. If you don't want to read, or don't want to take it in then there's no hope for you, and I am not explaining it all over again for you and barra to ignore again. Back to discussing what is on the BBC news today when there isn't actually any court action to report on at all, you and barra have fun with that. Do you want re-runs of the previous days? What a ridiculous game and a ridiculous waste of time.

It wasn't overlooked for a whole year! We've been through this several times. It was moving through several investigations from several bodies and since December through the criminal justice system.

One of the most eagerly awaited trails in recent history? Really?? Only because of their religion, and only by a certain segment of society. I am following it because I want to see them found guilty and sentenced to jail. But it's hardly crime of the century in the overall scheme of things is it. One of the most eagerly awaited trials in recent history - get a grip. You don't have to. It's been on their front page several times. If you think it should be there every single day of a five week trial then you have ridiculous expectations, especially the last couple of days when the court has not even been in session! Have a report on the front page? "Today, nothing happened, the end." It is tiring repeating all this over and over. As I said before first it was "why no arrests". Then when they were arrested it was "why no charges". Then they are charged. Then, "why no trial?" Then a trial starts. Then it became "why is the trial not in the media or "MSM" - someone at the BBC is covering it up". Oh wait, it has been widely reported in the BBC and all the national media. Then it's "why is it not prominent enough". Because nothing is currently happening. When does it stop? Constant moving of goalposts. When the trial is over if it gets buried then come back and I will join you in outrage, until then just let justice take its course without the daily conspiracy theories (which have so far all been proven to be false).

No one has said it is unimportant. It is important, as is any case of extreme violence against police officers. It has been reported as such. Covered at length by national news broadcasters, national newspapers, and minute by minute in local news.

Ah ok, so we gone from "it's a cover up" to "I don't like the placement". I have had no trouble coming across the reports on "MSM". Believe it or not in a five week trial there will be days of mundanity with not much to say. Why would every single day be up there right on the home page? That would be ridiculous. There are other things going on in the world and in the UK. But it has not been hidden, buried, censored or deleted. No one from up high has told them not to show it - it's all there, ugly violent videos and all. Bad as it undoubtedly is, a man punching police officers is not international news, it is local news. This is bigger because it was in an airport and the officers were armed. And obviously because there are many bandwagon jumpers involved, but essentially it is being reported as such a case should be. Local news is giving minute-by-minute courtroom updates, national news reports when something interesting happens.

Cool. And it would be great if you and barra didn't post your completely false conspiracy nonsense. If you stop doing that, I can stop replying to point it out. Deal? Go to the BBC website, use the search box, type in "Manchester Airport". And to help because I am nice, here is the MEN live update page for the trial, just follow it and refresh it when the court is in session. OK? https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manchester-airport-police-assault-trial-32006497

Website works for me both with and without a VPN.

Almost daily updates are all on the BBC website if you care to look. Also everywhere else on news sites. Ah, imagining conspiracies that will happen in the future again. Keep up the good work! Also refusing to respond to any post that points out your errors, points out the flaws in your conspiracies, points out your blatant lies. Don't go changing! Just keep spewing them out! Of course there is no report from today as 1) it is early morning in the UK. 2) the court is not in session again until tomorrow.

So you admit there is no cover up then, right? I can see all their almost daily reports from the courtroom. Maybe I have magic fingers? Or maybe I just looked?

Their last report was one day ago. That was the last time the court was in session. Seriously, it's not hard to type something into Google and check before you shout "Conspiracy!", or "Censorshiiiiiiiiip"! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20n2lwljp2o

That is an AN myth. Completely untrue. See my earlier post.

More unsubstantiated nonsense from you. Where do you get this stuff from, seriously? There has been live reporting all over the MSM throughout the trial. Court is adjourned until 10am tomorrow. Nothing has been blocked. You live in a weird conspiracy bubble, you really do.

Rubbish.

That's an AN myth. In 2011 the government officially invited Dutch experts like Adri Verwey and Tjitte Nauta to join top level discussions with the PM and government agencies.

I see this Dutch myth on here all the time, perpetuated by people who just believe what they are told on their bar stools.

What business is it of yours? Nasty sad people.

Man creates profile. Man makes post. Man wonders why tourist numbers are down in low season when tourist numbers are always down in low season (hence why it is called "low season" perhaps?). Man doesn't come back to reply to anything or anybody in over a week. Man definitely is real and isn't a bot, oh yes. Welcome to the new look Asean Now. Posts are up, all is rosy.

What a nasty nasty bunch of people we have on here. A person is fighting for his life and a friend is trying to help him. I assume you don't have any friends who would look out for you if you got in trouble. @sandyf Sorry to hear about your friend and I wish you the best of luck.

Works for me.

May I suggest you try saying something funny then.
