Mae Hong Son cracks down on inappropriate tourist behaviour
What is "river tubing" after farangs begin to wonder in their underwear confronting local culture and sneaking for sexual activities? We have to stop this with regular police checks and fines! Seriously, what a disrespect!

How many hours from Phuket to Bangkok by train?
Night train from Hat Yai leaves at 5PM (I might be wrong but about that time) We had to checkout from wonderful hotel with huge TV and brand new make over. So we roamed around on that heat for almost 4 hours - not much pleasure I'd say The train was from the past, I guess ~50 years old, but well maintained Restaurant had crazy prices - we didn't eat whole trip but there was water @ 250ml Bang Sue railway station is scary, but that was close to MRT Over all I'd rather take super VIP 24 seats couch and sit on the second floor with scenic views than on the train, which one derailed while I was on it. Not funny

Double Homicide Shocks Pattaya: Restaurant Owners Found Dead
According my observation on the treatment burmese "labor" by thai employers at factories (rather workshops as they were not actually employed) it was very ugly. They treated them like a livestock, subhumans, very disrespectful.

Obviously he demanded salary and they refused and probably offended him. Working in abusive condition under some 64 years old Iranian dude and his obnoxious thai tilak. I don't have a second thought - they treated him like <deleted> and they got their "reward".

Lady wants cosmetic surgery
Very true! The surgeon I knew told me that once they got good one they won't stop to "augmenting" themselves. And that works wonders! If you can afford it and the surgeon is good >>>> why night? PS: there's a market of second hand implants from crematoriums. FYI

What's all this Dr.Jill nonsense?
sounds like a true and obvious statement. I tried to read her "article" and that was a disaster. or what they called "Markoff generated". Obviously some $$$ were involved. Doctorate thesis? Please!

Je pardon, did you visit labs and talk with "lectures"? about 20 years I went to Ramkamheng University. It looked seriously unfunded and sad. I'm talking about July 2024. Oh no, August 2023 it was really cool. Update, sorry I've been taking away from the main subject. sorry. My point is your daughter has to stay with you. Period.

Me judge on my own experience and that is first hand one. Also I mentioned in-class relationships last (PPS), obviously less important to main subject.

Well, we did research and found that high (Masters) education is just mind blowing. Yes, in Thailand. Mahidoll, KMUTT and a couple of others (don't want to share). Somehow things changed: 20 years ago they used "donated" devices and equipment but since our visit last year - everything changed BIGGLY. PS: I'm writing about applied sciences, not business administrations, arts and political science. Real science, Oppenheimer's level. PPS: and social environment - teachers, lectures, professors are hyper friendly with students. Amazing! Just like small and very cozy families. Not "pizza for everyone" but the real one. True "love".

good point. Generalization su*ks. The gamut is huge - from posh "never fail" International schools to old-schools in China Town of Bangkok. We were lucky with primary school and somehow "unlucky" with secondary. I'd say avoid International and bilinguals, find some old school with "traditions" and minimum of "teecha Steeve" clowns. they are useless. And yes, old schools do have very strict rules from respect to teachers to parents and elders. Agree 100%

banning order was something my friend had to deal with. His GF (and mother of his kid) issue some very simple and very efficient letter to block kid from leaving the Kingdom. so, she milked him like crazy on promises to withdraw that letter.

EU Ministers to Boycott Hungary’s Foreign Affairs Summit Amid Growing Tensions
COVID-19 pandemia showed to the whole world level of corruption in EU, and just one of screaming samples. One of the biggest damage was done to agricultural sectors: in France centuries old farms are closing down, Germany, Italy and others

Forget stupid house, do everything you can to keep daughter with you, otherwise your ex will "park" her in some remote village and her future will vanish. Oh, and education system even in Bangkok is abysmal. Even Singaporean Int. School (so many are proud of) is trashy. Friend's son went to Regents later to Assumption. Couldn't put 2 words together in English and can't speak thai.

Not for her personally, rather advice from imagemaker just like Melania was a fashion expert who entered USA on "Einstein Visa" not she actually was. She also needs some credibility to her appearances and pretty dumb speeches IMHO

EU Ministers to Boycott Hungary’s Foreign Affairs Summit Amid Growing Tensions
The biggest problem of EU are wide open borders and unelected "Rulers of EU" What was an economical Union turned into ___________________ We shall expect Frexit soon I'll check bets on it Besides, those elitists from Brussel dared to openly criticize and lecture Mr. Orban on his trips this month. Are they out of their shmucking mind?

EU Ministers to Boycott Hungary’s Foreign Affairs Summit Amid Growing Tensions
@James105 I wouldn't put it better - each and every word. Just to add story of Greece and their bald PM on the bike who demanded to "write off" massive debts for "economical development" kindergarten style.

EU Ministers to Boycott Hungary’s Foreign Affairs Summit Amid Growing Tensions
By watching Euronews and France24 I wouldn't say they are prospering either. The best example on how they doing was Brexit: brits pulled many facts on why they should go by their own and NOT by demands from Brussel.

What's all this Dr.Jill nonsense?
I tried to reckon something similar to Doctor-Educator. Nope. Nobody insisted to refer him/her professor or doctor around. I only call a doctor in hospital / clinic. Son named "Hunter", dog named "Major", wife is a "doctor". Most versatile dog - a german sheppard - used to run freely over the White House's lawn biting people or Jen Psaki called it "slight nip". "Doctor Jil" couldn't even train/discipline german sheppard! That says a lot about her actual Dr. skills Well, however, I miss Melania
