Yep - and all the foreign grade school kids were telling mummy and daddy to high to higher ground. That is the classic tell that a tsunami is about to hit.

Well color me wrong. They may have actually hit it with an air-defense missile in the fog of a drone swarm. "They shot it down on purpose because Russians are Evil." 🙄 They probably shot it for the same reason that a US F/A-18 was recently shot down by USS Gettysburg in the Red Sea. With so many targets in the air, IFF system are on the edge of their technical ability to correctly identify what is a threat and what is not. More than likely it was a friendly fire incident just like in the Red Sea.

The Devil's in the details as she, like Tony, wouldn't be coming home to visit them (if she had them) in the quiet solitude of retirement. The Shinawatra dynasty returns is to rule. "Visit the grandkids and enjoy retirement!" "I promise I won't be involved in politics!" Right!

Actually - there's the truth neatly wrapped and topped with a bow: It IS a business venture of the Shinawatra dynasty.

This is working so well for Tony, I'm sure that Yingluck will now want to "come home so that she can spend the rest of her days quietly visiting the grandkids."

The police will ensure that the victim pays his 300,000 THB hospital bill (more or less) before he is allowed to leave Thailand you mean? I doubt the kiddies or their parents will be handed the bill.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I've got a bridge over the River Kwai that I'm selling cheap.

Most of the Left are secular or non-religious. Anyway, Joe isn't doing much of anything. His proxies working in his name are doing the leg work on end-of-term policy.

Just a heads-up, but come the next election cycle, when all the candidates are again sporting, "Vote For Our Party And We Will Give You ฿10,000 ฿20,000!", how many dumb Thai voters will fall for it a second time? Don't answer that question, I know the answer.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but really - what planet are you on? Wife and I drove to the market in our amphur here in NE Lamphun and the haze IS back already. The AQI sucks - and this is the wonderful December Cool Season weather that you are celebrating. According to wife the Thai government is implementing a burn ban starting Jan 1st until probably around May. I can once remember clear, blue skies and AQI in the "Good" range. What is here now is not clear, blue skies. Most people living here have probably forgot what a clear, blue sky looks like. Look out - this years "Burn Season" is going to be a doozy. My personal preference is the rainy season where I know the air is relatively clear. With "Cool Season" comes inversion layers and with inversion layers come the smoke. The PM 2.5 right now is anything but "Good." But hey - look on the bright side - it's not violet or purple yet, only yellow, orange, and red! https://aqicn.org/map/chiang-mai/

So has the US - Iran Air Flight 655. So using that same logic, perhaps using an America proxy in the region it "increasingly looks like they've done it again." Yes! That statement is as ludicrous as yours. But I expect no less from the Russian-haters here on this forum. Time will tell.

Ahhh! The "Joke of the Day!"

Bangkok Lowers Speed Limit to 60 km/h Amid Safety Push Dear Thailand - all Thai drivers ignore the posted speed limits. And now that traffic tickets can't affect the ability to renew your car's annual registration (excise tax sticker), few if any Thais (or farangs for that matter) are going to bother paying their speeding tickets. I wonder how many billions of THB will be spent changing the signs and what percentage of that amount will go into brown envelops and "brother-in-law's" pockets? 🤔

Omg, the loons in the West are now dumber than a box of hammers. Up next? STEM should be banned as a STEM-based education is synonymous with White Privilege. 🙄

The Persian (I-Ray-Knee-N) Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was the Father of Algebra. So no doubt in the liberal West - The Bastion of Democracy and of All Things Exceptional - all Algebra and references to Algebra should be banned as Iranian propaganda and as a Danger To Our Democracy, and any country using Algebra should be sanctioned.

Axios. An offshoot of Politico - both liberal Left-wing media outlets. What would you expect - a Trump endorsement? With that said: Trump is a narcissist and at times an over-the-top moron, so I expect to hear stupid stuff from him. One thing I'm sure of - it's 100% Trump. Biden, on the other hand, is at best borderline compos mentis and whatever was posted on X was no doubt written and published by his staff writers - it's 100% not Biden. Now - add a liberal media outlet and stir. What do you get: Denigrate Trump; Glorify Biden. And you expected what? Something different? <laughs - cue slide whistle, whoopee cushion>

High electricity costs don't affect billionaires or their familial proxies. "Let them use candles!"

Do stupid stuff, win stupid prized. Welcome to The Darwin Awards.

.....or you made it all up.

He's lucky to be alive.

42 Now you know the answer you can stop thinking!

2nd quarter of 2025: Thailand announces more factory closings and increased unemployment.

I don't care. You forgot that option!

I managed to get one out of the last 5 accepted.
