  1. The DNC should simple ditch Biden and Harris and run two Millenials who are compos mentis. Me personally? I'm writing in Taylor Swift for Pres.
  2. Write "Welcome" on your shirt and lie on the floor next to the door. Now you know your place.
  3. Went to CM today. I've seen it much worse although it is bad. Lamphun is much better. I love the way that the AQI is averaged out to make it look not so bad when there are readings out there in the 300s. But "Shhhh" dont' say anything. It might affect tourism. In the meanwhile Big Ag gets a pass and villagers keep burning the forests down to clear out underbrush in order to collect mushroom when the rain beings. A token villager or two gets arrest and a hand-slap. Wash, rinse, repeat forever. Given the plans to increase sugar cane production for ethanol it will only get worse. In the meanwhile certain high ranking officials jet-set to cleaner air elsewhere on the globe. "Sucks to be you commoners."
  4. The "tell." The dude's "weak-heart" is in his neck. 🤔 Hummm.
  5. Really simple: drive the speed limit.
  6. Up next: Thailand House of Representatives voices concern over precipitous drop in Thai birth rates
  7. What did the family of the cop that Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya killed? 100K THB I believe. Here in Thailand the state is happy to separate the haves from the have nots again (as the Thaksin fiasco exemplifies). Nobodies get next to nothing in compensation; somebodies get lavish compensation. And if the prep is a somebody? They skate. If the prep is a nobody? Throw the book at them. Here in Thailand that is called equity and justice.
  8. Here's some links. Don't see it on AN world news but it is news worthy. Videos on X and other platform. https://duckduckgo.com/?hps=1&q=Baltimore+François+key+bridge+collapsed&atb=v317-1&ia=web
  9. Advice for tourists? Don't go to Lopburi. As far as gaurs and bears? Where. In most of Thailand they have been shot and eaten. They exist in a handful of National parks, and even there they are being poached into extinction. The average plod is more likely to get mauled by a soi dog or there neighbors pit-bull. Compensation for getting mauled by a soi dog? "Sucks to be you plod."
  10. Thai gold hit 38K THB per baht-weight a few days back. When this happens, it will be hitting 50K or higher. And let not even talk about the resultant inflation.
  11. You can be married 15 or 20 years and they still assume that you are a criminal attempting to game the system. We were told this year that when we submit our next extension paper work, we need to include pictures of my wife and I "doing something in bed." Well, what do we do in bed? What does anyone do in bed? Sleep or ****. So Immigration are now voyeurs it seems. I should have asked, "Which position do you want with the **** pictures?" If you are a foreign gal married to a Thai guy? Well, a Thai family is sacrosanct and to be respected. If you are a foreign man married to a Thai gal? Well, you are a potential criminal waiting for the right time to commit your crimes, like pretending to be married to your wife for 20 years. You need to be actively surveilled year after year after year because eventually you'll slip up and expose yourself as a tricky male foreign devil. A foreign man and Thai woman with Thai children isn't a real Thai family according to Immigration as that family unit is always under the Sword of Damocles waiting for the horse-hair to finally give way. Remember foreign man (potential criminal) - you are only visiting. In the meantime, your foreign female counterpart who is married to a Thai guy is already a citizen as you submit your 10th, 15th, or 20th extension.
  12. In the West, in cities? Yep, they're there. Do I know some? Yep, generally daughters of good friends, often childless, husbandless, boyfriendless, and often uphappy misandrists. In the West, in rural fly-over country? The gals are pretty normal, i.e., not feminists. Daughters of friends and family members, often married with children, happy enough although the least impacted by the feminist movement tend to be the happiest in the marriages. Here in Thailand? I can't say I've met or interacted with feminists. I don't hang out with tourists. Which is fine by me as I prefer gals with traditional family values. Plenty of those in rural Thailand.
  13. I always find the binary, black & white views held by members to be rather ironic. Such hatred and loathing for the side of the two-party duopoly whom you personally detest, all the while as your own favorite party and candidates bend you over and have their way with you. As we said in the military back in the day - BOHICA baby. Here it comes again! I'm voting a Taylor Swift / Minny Mouse ticket in 2024. Change my mind.
  14. Let's see...back of a napkin calculations. 7.2 km in 4 years = ~ 1.8 km / year Nong Kai to Korat = ~335 km So therefore Nong Kai to Korat HSR completed in about 186 years. That's about right And with inflation, brown envelopes, and cost overruns it will probably cost $100 Quintillion USD - or 5 and a half BTC and be completed in..... 🙄 Well, anyone remember what the post-1997 crash's building projects looked like including the BTS to Ringsit. There ya go.
  15. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=3202&eeFolder=form-download https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/the-endorsement/endorsement-and-re-entry-permit/
  16. Politicians are quite literally some of the lowest forms of life on the planet. Name-calling on all sides? Immature, sophomoric, and juvenile. Taylor Swift for President - that's as good as anyone else other than perhaps Minny Mouse or Alfred E. Newman. I'll write one of those three in on my ballot in November.
