    Whose 'morality'? If you're thinking western Christian values then turn around now, this isn't a Christian but a Buddhism country, and Buddhism is a far more flexible belief system. As an atheist that's fine with me, but you can read endless comments on this forum by people who see Thailand through a western Christian lens; they're usually the ones who have problems. .

    What have Pattaya hookers got to do with this? This is about Thai-Malay women from Narathiwat, Yala, Pattani, and Satun marrying Malaysians in polygamous marriages.

    They were flat out lying with the pork gelatine story, that wasn't over the top it was totally malicious, and undoubtedly caused many more deaths. As for the issue of efficacy, certainly the studies show the Chinese vaccines were less effective at preventing infection, but the studies also show that they still reduced the risk of dying from the disease. The Chinese vaccines proved effective at reducing mortality.

    1994 - Marina Hotel, Sungai Golok, Narathiwat - a visa run from Malaysia.

    Depends on the currency pair, fees for Singapore Dollar to Thai Baht transfers are down.

    No - why would you want to?

    Not much. If however, people stop buying US debt (Treasuries) the currency would be in trouble. That said as countries like China own so much US debt already they would be hurting themselves equally by doing so. Over the long term it's likely the US will find it harder and more expensive to furnish its debt. The US really does need to balance its books and live within its means.

    Seeing as the local authority and the military (navy) couldn't agree on a landing berth for the Pattaya ferry I doubt very much anyone will agree anything in a hurry for cruise ships. I think we're safe, let Koh Samui have the pleasure. It's the wet season duh! Nothing's going to change that, Malaysian & Singapore visitors understand wet seasons.

    They should combine that with a ban on arms sales to Israel.

    Yes, I'm now 66 and I still work, though consultancy work, and only for about 3 months a year. I see no reason to stop whilst people are still happy to offer me work. Yes, but I enjoy what I do, if it was working shift at the widget factory I suspect I'd quit at the earliest opportunity.

    I suspect the terrified children of Palestine would beg to differ.

    The 21 killed in the Birmingham pub bombings and the 180 maimed and injured, their friends and family would dispute that. But that wasn't what I was responding to, rather your failing to see any similarities in the disproportionate nature of the figures for those murdered Hamas v IRA - Hamas v IDF. You were happy to highlight the former but quick to sidestep the latter.
  20. Stocky
    Yes I can see you're blind to the obvious

    This is not unusual, a few months ago I watched our local meter reader's progress down our soi, for one meter placed high on a pole he nipped into the seamstress shop and borrowed a chair to be able to get in range of the RFID. All our meters are digitally read but the range seems to be about 1m - after climbing off the stool, putting his shoes back on again, he returned the stool to the seamstress with a polite wai of thanks.

    Hamas around 764 civilians killed in one day, the IDF has killed 35,562 Palestinian including 7,797 children, 4,959 women and 1,924 elderly in 6 months. Can you see a difference here?
  23. Stocky
    BS, there was no warning for the Birmingham pub bombings. The IRA were just as indiscriminate and callous as Hamas.

    You aren't too bright Bob are you, given the observations you made, it doesn't take a genius to realise that keg of piss has been sat there for months in the blistering heat.
