Lets have the real name and that post from four years ago. The problem is that nobody believes you because no international correspondent in Bangkok would attack the Deputy Head of Mission of any Embassy unless the offence was extremely serious.Wed, 27 May 2026 20:16:48 +0000One of the responsibilities of federal immigration is assuring foreign nationals are non criminals, Makin America Great Again is vetting foreign nationals. The days of just coming in willy nilly are over. "Under Biden and Mayorkas, nearly 90% of migrants encountered at the southern border were let into the country. Thanks to President Trump, those days are over".Wed, 27 May 2026 20:13:20 +0000There were only two cases. There was no third ruling. But I have dealt with this already. Andrew Drummond was acquitted in both cases at the appeal court. Newspapers in the UK rejoiced in the win. If you click on that ifex link you will see that it is a complain by the Committee to Protect Journalists! 555555.

Why did you not give the link? 555. You will not find negative stuff about Andrew Drummond in the Press Gazette. The more you search the more good stuff you will find. The point of the piece was to demonstrate how easy it was to sue in Thailand. These guys (below) probably knew they would not win. They just wanted to make Drummond waste lots of money defending himself. In the UK if you sue for libel the character of the plaintiff is taken into account when assessing damages. ie Flowers would have been laughed out of court. This story above was due to multiple cases being brought by (a) Drew Noyes, owner of the Pattaya Times, and Brian Goudie a Scot who had been sentenced to six years in Australia for theft from his employees (several hundred thousand dollars) and Noyes was convicted in Pattaya and sentenced to a jail term for extortion (look it up) Goudie while pretending to be a barrister, not less, and a former Captain in the Royal Marines, was sentended to two years for fraud.. Both fled Thailand while appealing their sentences after deposting large sums of cash as sureties for their returns.

Although the police are suggesting carbon‑monoxide poisoning, a whole family found together with no signs of struggle and a burnt‑out stove at the foot of the bed, must raise more questions than answers. We can only speculate until the autopsy results come back, but this is still a grim reminder that charcoal indoors can be a silent killer.Wed, 27 May 2026 19:57:17 +0000I just carpet bombed you with a bunch of red repoWed, 27 May 2026 19:49:14 +0000The posters reveals very well how sick the US society has become.

"On April 10, 2001, a foreign national from Barbados, was facing the end of a seven-year relationship with a woman he had been living with in Chicopee, Mass., and while the relationship had been on and off for months, it came to a full stop when Marshall broke into her home and shot a man to death in her kitchen. Police found the foreign national in Springfield the next day and arrested him. He has a final order of removal from 2008 and will be deported". https://x.com/ICEgov/status/2059712546303590470?s=20Wed, 27 May 2026 19:21:59 +0000Cool story.Wed, 27 May 2026 19:19:05 +0000This story absolutely makes you wonder about every one of the child street sellers you see on the streets in BKK at midnight. Thai authorities explicitly warn foreigners not to give money to beggars, claiming it only supports organised human trafficking. Yet, despite their warning, they do little else to end the exploitation. Unfortunately, this only allows the traffickers to continue their heinous practice. This is a serious crime that requires genuine (not token) enforcement, and appropriate well publicised punishment so that a clear message is sent to those who try to abuse children in this way!Wed, 27 May 2026 19:12:55 +0000Mini PC will work, but I don't recommend buying anything less than one with an N100 CPU fitted....and that will cost you. For example, the Beelink 12 Pro is 18000 baht. Ridiculous. The cheaper ones have relatively weak and old processors, from as far back as 2016. https://shopee.co.th/-Official-ศูนย์ไทย-Beelink-BT3-X-มินิพีซี-Intel-Apollo-Lake-J3355-สเปค-RAM-4GB-DDR4-ROM-64GB-mSATA-SSD-i.910339061.25586870533 6000 baht with a nine year old super weak processor. You have been warned 😊 If the performance becomes frustrating, there's nothing you can do about it. Best to get something with a bit of headroom. Personally, I would go for an ex business device. More powerful overall.

If you are around London, the coast, or rivers you also get a lovely breeze.

Thinking of dumping my wife.Wed, 27 May 2026 18:44:26 +0000I have been using a grounding mat since early last year. Within a few weeks, I found my sleep was noticeably deeper - and I couldn't attribute that to anything other than placing a grounding mat on the bed. It was a relatively small outlay for the grounding mat for what I consider is a big benefit so I'm very happy with it. I would wholeheartedly recommend grounding mats to anyone considering one. There is one thing you need to consider. I use my grounding mat in New Zealand and that is relevant - as the grounding mat must be plugged in to an earthed power socket. In Thailand, I don't remember ever seeing an earth socket in power points, certainly there weren't any in the apartments I lived in, or my place of work. The alternative to plugging the grounding mat into an earthed socket is a cable which runs from the mat, out the window, with a rod at the end which is placed into the dirt / ground outside. The grounding mat MUST be earthed either via an earthed power socket or a rod physically in the ground to work.Wed, 27 May 2026 18:43:49 +0000So you support the idea of saying the Lord's Prayer before council meetings? I didn't really understand your answer. Do you or don't you? Like it or not (and you clearly don't), the UK is a multicultural society and that is part of what makes it so great. It was a 30s verse which was immediately then recited in English. All it means is "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." A good swearing in thing to say really. "Respect the laws and customs of England"? Which law did that break exactly? You would be absolutely welcome to do that. Thai Buddhist temples welcome people of all faiths, and as long as you are respectful they are more than happy for you to pray in your own faith. Bad example Bazzer.Wed, 27 May 2026 18:33:47 +0000
