Completely doomed to failure. Like Thais failure to pay their speeding tickets, if their license is revoked then they will just drive without a license as the cost to do so is a paltry 400 or 500 THB fine (and a ticket receipt that allows the violator to bypass other roadblocks for the rest of the day). Their is no downside.

How many points are deducted from a driver's license for "Driving Without A Driver's License."

I have a few unvaxxed friends who used to come here annually for a month at a shot. I just sent them the news. They usually come in February, but how the heck can you book a flight if you don't know if the "rules" are going to turn on a dime. I'll be surprised if they come.

Everything you need to know about new Covid variant Kraken It's another coronavirus. It has been given a scary name to frighten the fearful. So get your Boosters - Safe And Effective!

Why enact this for essentially three weeks and then stop? It's very difficult to believe they'll make these rule changes and then drop them on Jan 31st.

I know!!! I'm so afraid!!

Buy a new car. Suzuki Celerio. About $10K USD. Gets you from point A to point B. Do you need to drive a status symbol?

Ok. What nationalities? Now I've seen the same at buffets in Thailand. By the way, which is why I refuse to go to buffets in Thailand any longer (once was enough). I didn't see any Chinese. So - this is an 'ethnic hatred post' that you've posted. What are you attempting to say about Chinese people? Spit it out. Greed is only the purvey of Chinese people? Ok. So you are racist? Just asking. Hate Chinese? Other races and ethnicities too. Westerns showing hatred and contempt for non-Westerners is really bad. So you understand where you live? You're not in New York. You're not in Berlin. You're not in Warsaw. You're not in Finland. You are in Thailand! Please stop.

Just like: Americans Brits Canadians New Zealanders Aussies Europeans and on and on and on and on................ <put an overpriced country where inflation is running rampant here>

Overly interested in sex is a vice. Over-eating is a vice. Excessive alcohol consumption is a vice. Excess pot consumption is a vice. Excess anything is a vice. So what to do. Well, pick a vice you believe you've handled and then subject everyone else to your assessment of their moral character - baseless or otherwise. Or - live and let live. Well, until someone else insists that their needs to be a law to regulate You but not Them.

Don't spit on the street!

My step-son was in the Thai military. /sarcasm on Outstanding institution! /sarcasm off

I've seen some grainy pictures that look like the hull had a rip in it. But how. It's "crickets" as far as the government goes. Did they run it into a coral reef? Still incompetent in a major way.

Therefore the sinking was due to human error and lack of following SOP while underway - like keeping water-tight doors firmly lagged. "Engine room flooded." Someone FUBARed in a massive way and the Captain of the ship is directly responsible as well as his executive officers. My wife said that Thai news indicated that they ship was carrying an excess of crew members, sort of like they were having a big party. So - have a big party, fail to follow standard operating procedures - then sink the ship. These ships are built to have water-tight compartmentalization. Unless the hull was breached - massively - the ship just doesn't roll-over and sink. "But but but - there was a big storm!!! Ship lose power. Blah blah blah. Excuses excuses excuses." I've been on a ship in 25 foot seas and in major storms in the USN. Bunk! Ship don't just flood and sink. They'll blame the entire fiasco on a few of the lowest ranking seaman. Watch! Guaranteed.

Thin Air by Richard K. Morgan https://www.richardkmorgan.com/writing/thin-air/

Tulsa King. Mafia capo released after 25 years in prison sets to rebuilding his life and crime empire in Tulsa, OK. At times rather cliche, but still an entertaining show starring Sylvester Stallone

Read-em' and weep. Go with Sukhoi jets. Less expensive; more reliable. https://www.defensenews.com/air/2023/01/04/new-f-35-engine-deliveries-suspended-amid-ongoing-investigation/

Here comes the Chinese bashing.

Thailand has no refugee program. Other than jail then deportation.

You bought the item at a specified price. The seller packed and shipped it. That's is essentially a contract. Just do the right thing and pay of the item when it arrives.

What's an "MFlow?"

It's geo-blocked in the UK. Easy enough to do if currys.co.uk only want's to deal with customers in the UK. Some organizations choose not to want Internet traffic from certain regions of the globe or certain third-world countries. Use a VPN. It's accessible in a commonwealth country near you.

The "Climate Experts" have been hammering that the polar ice caps are going to melt and flood the world. I've lived in many coastal areas over the last 70 years, and wanna know a secret? The sea level is the same now as it was when I was born. Climate Change is the biggest billionaire funded scam that will make use of now well developed "public-private partnerships" in order to tax the commoners and Neo-Serf classes into more austerity and poverty. The "Climate" is in a constant state of change and has been for 4 freaking billion years. But, we now have a 'climate change' based cabal in a "public-private partnership" and they are collectively going to 'roger' us all. "Bicycles for us; private jets for us." CO2? Makes plants grow and in turn produce oxygen. Amazing how that works. I gotta admit. Most of the human race simple want to be slaves. By 2035, you'll probably get your wish. Fools.

I know how to download Grab Taxi for use on my Andriod phone, but I'm not sure how to fund it - or - do the drivers accept cash?

The NHS is imploding. So? Not anymore.
