Given the "tempura" treatment. "Lightly battered".

Thailand probably just needs better PR for their corruption. Maybe a huge media and film industry to suppress and indeed normalize it?

When / if money becomes tokenized and digital (CBDC) only, you will be limited to how / where / what you can spend it on, possibly taxed at source, fined for social media posts, going over your 'carbon limit' etc. Already happening in China.

I think you'd be surprised. Incoming AI data centers will be building a profile of all our transactions, locations, carbon emissions, tracking, etc. I'm using cash as long as possible.

Gosh! That couldn't be CP could it? The Chicken People flooding the market with their antibiotic & hormone-laden meat and eggs.. Find a local organic producer and keep them on speed-dial.

Italian-Thai Same with my Oppo phone, despite me thinking I'd turned off all "emergency" notifications and alerts.. 😕

After ordering a supposed "Makita" grass strimmer from Lazada, the 3/4 scale flimsy toy that arrived put me off from ordering anything else from online bulk shopping sites, tbh. 😜 Anything electrical, mechanical, clothing, shoes, etc., I'd rather go to an actual shop and see / try before I buy.

Starmer trying to push through the Digital ID that his mentor the war criminal Tony Bliar failed to foist on a reluctant UK populace. Using the BS excuse of an immigration "crisis". There is a big backlash against this massive intrusion of privacy (coupled with a CBDC will amount basically to slavery) in the UK, or so it appears. So far, 1.5 million people have signed a petition against it. Here you go: No to Digital ID: UK https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/730194

Considering the amount of natural waterways, and vast coastlines of Thailand, it is pretty sad that swimming lessons aren't mandatory in state schools. Here in Eastern Thailand alone, many of the beaches have dangerous 'riptides' that account for tourist deaths also.

Sugar is a big culprit here, no question. Thais put it in most cooked foods and it's obviously in all the processed product food also. Obesity here is nowhere near as a lot of other (Western) countries, but the levels of diabetes here is worrying. Thais enjoy 'snacking' between meals, contributing to insulin and blood sugar levels that are off the charts.

Similar to the bombs in Bangkok, prior to the coup in 2006.

Cannabis before fighting?? 😆 Might be okay before a competitive-eating event, but weed isn't exactly a PED in the sports / fighting arena.

"Murderbot". Sounds interesting, but 3 episodes in and the rebel droid still hasn't offed any of the annoying box-ticking 'crew' he's supposed to be taking care of. Not wasting any more time on it. 🤪

"Rain bombs"... Please 🤣

Yes, definitely a great looking restaurant (and cocktail bar on Beach Rd). Also stages large Thai music concerts every other month or so.

You remind me of those Japanese soldiers still living in the Philippine jungles years after WWII had ended. The whole Covid (scam) seems to have become your raison d'etre. How sad.

Broadband Services. Used them for a few years now. Great service and content. Hardly any buffering issues using a 3BB fiber connection. Sometimes need a VPN for live sports streams though. Excellent player app for movies and series also. Free trial at the site link: BroadbandServices

Yes, one of my work staff is from S. Thailand. His family have one of these farms for harvesting the nests. What is harvested from Monitor lizards, though?🤔

Yep. A so-called "survey" by an invested company.. Stinks

The headline implies a sustained beating, but sounds like it was the concrete pavement that did the damage.

Doubt it. Arbitrary and foolish Covid responses did destroy small businesses, livelihoods, family life, physical and mental health and education for a vast number of people though.

Looking forward to seeing the little China doll donning a pair of Burberry wellies to inspect the flooding.

Eastern Thailand usually gets a lot of rain at the end of September - October. I live in Rayong and it rains every night here. Local ponds and reservoirs almost full, compensating for the low rainfall we had last year.

Digital money and Central Bank Digital Currency means; negative interest rates, tax at source, zero privacy, social credit scores, debanking for perceived infractions, and everything 100% dependent on Govt power sources and internet. It is the opposite of personal wealth and financial freedom.

She looks like one of those realistic robot sex dolls. Only less animated.
