pre-Oslo Israel was a super nice place on Earth. Until sweet talker in fancy scarf and massive financial support "you know from whom" became legit. Than all hell began. As Bibi said some 8 or 10 years "... there is the new generation of people that grew up with hate toward Jews" And exactly correct is the opposite statement " generation of people grown up on existential hatred against Palestinians". It runs in blood of every person on both sides. The only solution is to part them, as Trump proposed. Or slaughter and chase the weaker one away.

Like a blind men describing an elephant, you met only certain type of Thai people and made general assumption. That is very wrong and proven often dangerous. "White people"? Hm.

Never works, unless use some vicious technics. But who would decide to go ballistic? Very upset Mr.S. had to hire fellas from "The Country of Many Rivers, Seas and Oceans" for 40% + 10% advance And yes, "Triple Thirty" is still the most popular BS in farang-oriented real estate market. 20% ROI and 3X30

1 baht street water machines - do they have filters?
NativeBob replied to scubascuba3's topic in General Topics
Early 90-s I remember "purple crystals" in water at food stalls. Disgusting taste and didn't save me from getting severe infection. Just a flashback. Nothing have changed over 40 years though. Your health is in your own hands, please don't count on primary school knowledge of some vendor who makes money on those "drinking water dispensers". No need to analyze "do they pour clean water", "how RO works" and "what is RO after all" We are in TH. Almost everybody here had the "unlucky" case of "local responsibilities". Just say NO. How difficult is it? -
How cute! So let me get this straight - Mr.A. bought some property in Phuket being promised 90 years of lease by real estate company's manager/owner. Later he found that deal was "fake" a.k.a. "not completely correct" So Mr.A. feels kinda "fooled" and "upset" and later he decides to cancel the deal. Real estate agency got 2-3%, owner 95%, the rest went into expenses. Now, Mr.A. requests to annul the deal and his money back, but most of the money gone. What options left to him? 1. Bring crooked agency to the court? Useless 2. Threaten the owner? Hm. Tough job 3. Bite the bullet and admit his fault? 4. Cry to every forum and newsgroups on Reddit about TH? 5. Find some farang ding-dong and sell the property to him? <<<< best choice, imno. Any other options?

Ratchayothin, Ratchadapisek, Lardprao roads are paralyzed. "Motosies" (not correct wording) are making fortunes! Fares are higher than during Big Bangkok Flood. -
Bangkok Shop Owner Defends Right to Sell Controversial Shirts
NativeBob replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Back 15 years ago I met a guy who proudly kicked teen from his scooter for wearing German Swastika T-shirt. Not an Indian Swastika, but exactly Nazi's. So what? Did it make world better? "I don't think so, Tim!" Earlier, the Consular of Israel send her protest regarding school's costume show in CM. Oh, My God, kids marched in Nazi's attire/entourage! Did it make any change? Nope, just noisy ripples in press. "Starship Troopers" actors wore uniforms that resembled German Nazi's. So what? All we remember are boobs of the redhead and huge roaches. Yet... Prime Minister of country C. proudly applauded to Nazi collaborator. Did it make world better? Nope, it made it worst. Now it's OK & legit to praise them as "defenders of democracy, freedom and independence". Do your math. -
Not so ignorant. I saw few times how employers deal with wounded "under-labor". Once he (some semi-boss a.k.a. local poo-yai) just dropped them near Phayathai hospital and drove away. The way they treat them is very, utterly arrogant.

would you kindly be more specific? Might avoid some awkward question 😉

Do I Have to Carry My Passport
NativeBob replied to NickyLouie's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
QR code leading to the page with all relevant pictures. very handy though. Before it I exactly what many done - laminated 50% reduced size copies in the wallet. I'm not looking for policeman in the wrong mood to argue "show me the exact article regarding my passport" Since 1997 only 2 times been asked "may I see your passport?" but why to rebel? -
probably 43 of officially employed. But how many of "not-so-legal" labor?

Waiting in anticipation next episode of White Lotus and more shots of Lisa "Mook" Manokaban. It was eye-opening experience to see how unhealthy skinny she is. Very endogenous.
