Siberian Husky Set on Fire: Owner Seeks Public's Help
I agree, I find the heat in Thailand unbearable at times so it must be far worse for these kind of dogs. I don't understand why anyone with a brain would think a husky is a good choice for that heat.

Bangkok Launches Electric Motorcycle Taxi Pilot Program
It says it is for 200 win riders to trial so doesn't sound like they are for personal rent. Maybe the picture is not of the bikes that they end up using.

Bangkok Launches Electric Motorcycle Taxi Pilot Program
You don't care about CO2 but our children most certainly will. A few years ago I heard that a car doing 30mph emits the same amount of CO2 as 900 people breathing. Small motorcycles are around 4 times more efficient so equivalent to roughly 200 people each. Multiply that by the number of bikes around and you will see how insignificant your breathing is in comparison. Add in the noise and other pollution they cause makes this move seem very sensible if done correctly.

Maybe correct if you live in Scotland but if I am spending the day out around water in Thailand proper SPF 50 sunscreen is essential. skin cancer is not much fun.

Thai Airways Refutes Political Ties in Aircraft Purchase Deal
No mention of maintenance costs in the buying considerations is odd. Having to maintain 2 manufacturers planes must be very costly. 2 lots of inventory and specialized tools along with more training must be a major headache. The only upside I see is they will get more leverage when negotiating the purchase price. Unfortunately people who deal with purchasing large items are often clueless about whole life costs. Saving a few million on a purchase often ends up costing dearly in the long run. I have started to choose who I fly with by taking into account the make of the plane. Price and duration are still the main consideration but increasingly I want to avoid anything American due to the antics of the orange, wannabe, dictator and Boeing's worrying reputation.

Thailand’s Bold Move: Decriminalising Sex Work Sparks National Debate
Is it really that bad a choice given the alternatives? Sure at first it can be horrendous but many see it as the better option. Being a farm girl working in rice fields is not exactly a pleasant job either.

What makes you suspect that? I have not heard anything to suggest that.

You can go private in the UK as well. The NHS does not have a monopoly.

Thai doctor vows to create "Hitler Room" to gas hospital smokers
This is the kind of man I want as prime minister in the UK. All this woke crap is out of control. We need people who say what needs saying without worrying about hurting people's feelings. A trump with brains and looking out for the majority instead of every winger that thinks their rights overrule everyone else's. Smokers are some of the most ignorant and selfish people around. This is how they should be treated until they start to respect those around them. Last night I was talking to my wife about a women who has to put up with her husband smoking 3 packets a day in the house. Utterly disgusting but all he says is, there's the door if you don't like it.

Why come early if flights are delayed? Thais seem to love making you wait around for no good reason.

Outstanding questions remain about new visa rules for Thailand
Most only stay 2 or 3 weeks but some of us do stay 5 or more weeks. Not having to do an extension this year will be a bonus as I often limit our holiday to under a month to avoid the hassle. I had already booked 5 weeks so hope 60 days is in place this week. Saving £50 and a 50 mile trip to immigration will be a good bonus.

Thai-US powered operation crumbles cybercrime hacker syndicate
How does this spy on China? Here is good news about breaking up a criminal gang yet you think it is part of a conspiracy. You need to stop watching stupid YouTube videos and start watching real news channels. You are the sort of person who is fooled by the likes of trump because you can't think for yourself.

Big Joke fights for his name as summons rumours swirl around him linked with gambling sites
The reason is to encourage others to do better. If you find a cop who is better even if only very slightly, they should be held up as a shining beacon for others to follow. If you lump them altogether, there is no desire or advantage in being better. Unfortunately most Thais can't understand this which is why they are so far behind.

PM Eyeing A-List Performers Amid Taylor Swift’s Singapore Shows
Lady Gaga found out why Thailand is not a good place to perform with the flag incident. Why risk that kind of bad publicity over a minor discretion?
