The test showed .114 milligrams percent of alcohol which was over the legal alcohol limit of .50.

isn't 0.114 less than 0.5 ?

All hail thai education!

btw: since he is from that alco-country should he be forgiven? 

N95 masks have nothing to do with original 3M N95 masks. I think these knockoffs produced everywhere in LOS and sold as "Real McCoys". China Town in BKK has bulk of them. pure rubbish.

During SARS back then I ordered at Ebay few boxes and have can compare real one with COVID and latest. Rubbish!

1.06 AM is not "pre-dawn"

"descended upon" - just like Holy Spirit did in Bible?

ROFL

If anybody remember post-startups crisis of 98? Suicides were so common esp in MY. Those "unlucky" investors that lost everything.

Yes, that's hilarious people being cheated and committing suicide. Got any more knee-spappers? 

Back in 98-99 there was Great Fidelity company that run Forex trading. Chinese and SG ownership and management. Rama VI road, green building. they screwed dozens of "investors" >>> nothing happened.

However that Forex trading, as well as crypto and binary options are very dangerous and should be avoided and explained to average folks. 

funny story: her relatives complained that greedy woman gambled her and her friends funds and lost it. Happens all over Thailand - they are well known gamblers.

But no, it was all about some Rusky dude, crucify him (& all of them)!

what a load of <whatever>

Living Blues, Creedence CLearwater Revival, Cream >>> can hear them again and again, but they didn't go that big as they should. 

Hendrix - sorry he left way too early, he was genius.
Clapton was just great. "Double Trouble" as an example, decades later he released Money and Cigarettes is a masterpiece.

Pink Floyd - Mr. Waters shouldn't pull his ego to the stratosphere - they were great together, why did they go solo? Pros and Cons of HitchHiking, Radio K.A.O.S., Amused to Death were great albums, but what Gilmore, Wright and Mason did were ____________ (sad words). Why Mr. Waters didn't do it with original Pink Floyd?

And at last Mike Oldfield. He should rise higher than reissuing Tubular Bells over and over again.

PS: Ian Anderson is huge!

I suggest you either show your post as being your idea of humour or don't post it! (I assume it was meant as "humour(sic)"?

And now lets make it tragic:

I used to have a female friend (pretty looking young lady from Morocco) who run this business - plastic surgeries for "tourists" and made pretty good %. Since surgeons refused to do reassignments w/o letter from shrink her business sunk. Nope, that is not the tragic story. 

Here we go:

Doing hormonal therapy (consuming contraceptive pills in bulk) kids seriously damage their head - often turn hysterical, irrational, obnoxious and PMS-like mood swings. That leads to higher than average suicidal rate. 
Without good counseling their mind often goes banana. Kids in high school take shortcuts and visit questionable underground clinics, buy hormones and so.
So former khun Sombun visit local khet to "update" his/her ID is very confusing - it is still a man, that's why I think they must present some serious document justifying their request.

I don't think it is an easy task, not that easy as khun Sombun wants to change his name to Joseph or Taksin on ID card.

sorry, I didn't make it clear. Ok, longer version:

years ago anybody could get reassignment surgery, also almost any surgeon could perform such an operation, that led to confusing situations when M2F changed his mind for any reason - for ex. he was in stress and that was his revenge to his GF. Many other reasons - I really don't know, but ...

Since than only licensed surgeon were able to do so and only after they shown the letter from psychiatrist who would verify from scientific ground that yes, he/she heeds surgical reassignment. Without that letter he/she can't even _________ (whatever).
Hence I assumed that to change details in ID card there should be something more serious statement then "I feel like Madonna!" from some strange looking kid.

PS: I don't find this funny and/or humorous. Not at all, quite opposite: I met heart-broken parents while here in BKK.

Does the new law allow for the issuance of new ID cards showing the new "assumed" sex" or must they go under surgical realignment to have their ID changed?

just a letter of attendance to the shrink

hardcore activists with iron bars and firebombs. Sure, they were prepared and waiting ...

innocent young soldiers were beaten almost to death, their guns were taken, but they pronounced Tetragrammaton and got their guns back (from 50 hardcore activists and their softcore colleagues) and open fire. 

Humma Kavula !

PS: I think this topic goes nowhere. Suddenly open waters became a forbidden territory and most (one of) prepared commandos turn into a bunch of kittens (not exactly that word I mention).
What I do remember that escalation between Turkey and Israel became so toxic and hot that US had to use secret special channels to calm down Erdogan from doing something bad.

Also weren't the boats full of things that Palestinians didn't need or want ?

yes, it was cement:
 

"why cement? who eat or drink cement? no, no need"

"why didn't you ask Palestinians do they want that cement?"

"isn't it obvious? who is going to eat or drink cement? Kapish?"

Hint: they needed cement to rebuild their houses demolished by guess who.

A large team of special forces of IDF couldn't handle a knife!!

Yes, the keyword here ^^^ is special forces - those were commandos, not typical recruits or some sort of weekend worriers which might not be able to handle a knife.
Only Al Jazeera and Press TV gave complete picture of what happened.

Israel thinks the world is a herd of sheep by keeping insulting our intelligence with their ongoing blatant lies and deception. 

absolutely!

btw, anyone remember IDF attack on turkish flotilla (sea vessels) with cement and humanitarian aids on the way to Gaza?

If the Thai is only a nominee on paper without any other evidence then it's fake... nominee is illegal.

Having said that it's a very grey area and many loopholes.

Than RTP should arrest almost whole area around Bang Rak and Silom junction - those jewelers just funny )))

... Maple, who works as a sales representative for a gender-affirmation surgery clinic

Now everything is clear: she is living with a man who is "walking proof" of her clinic's achievements. Cool!
When she sells implants she can ask her BF/GF to show it. 
Good investment!

Fees are outrageous but that is/was normal thing to consider using foreign ATM in Thailand. 

Thanks to blockchain technology we don't have to carry cash in underwear, just crypto-wallet and the world is your oyster.
btw how about todays ExRate of 36.7 THB/$ ?

lovely, yes?

The thing that's funny about this is they ignore all their own ills and put huge effort into finding the needle in a haystack, just cos it's foreign.

just 'cos ut's foreign they can "cash-in" much more

Well, I guess Russians prefer to exchange Bitcoins rather than Rubles right now.

Tether USDT TRC20, not Bitcoins

Transfer happens in seconds globally - very convenient way of moving money.
On Binance platform there are P2P offers up to few millions THB
cool? Why police arrested some cheap-cheap tourist while this ?
