Your double standards are amazing. You pretend Pakistani is a race in order to call some racist but if someone said British was a (white) race and not a nationality you'd call them racist. 😄 Away with your race baiting. Its boring.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:19:10 +0000Yeah, so file a police report. going around assaulting people is not the way to go.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:18:55 +0000It is explained clearly in Section 143 Thai Penal Code but any action -- if any -- would require a complaint as submitted by an 'injured party.'Thu, 21 May 2026 02:18:29 +0000Thanks Pattaya.

The staff obviously prefer dealing with multiple applications from agents in private rather than face to face customer contact directly as this makes them grumpy at the loss of commision.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:16:02 +0000I have a hard time visualizing, falling of a truck (not songtaew ?) , right... you fall, but how can the back wheel, run over your head? run over by another car, ok was he hanging out on the side with his head near the wheel ?Thu, 21 May 2026 02:16:01 +0000I guess you didn't follow the Twitter Files, did you? The reality was quite the opposite.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:15:52 +0000I personally know people who have been to Antarctica. Some have worked at polar research stations, some have climbed there, some have base jumped there, and some have skied to the South Pole. So why do you feel the need to mistrust the world so badly that you stop believing in basic facts? I can understand the philosophical idea if you believe we are living in a simulation. But even then, the simulated world still follows the rules we experience inside it. The illusion of a physical world is still the world we have to live in.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:15:39 +0000Enjoyable opening paragraph........... I believe the powers that be, do know they have a huge amount of work to do to retain market share/rather regain market share, but quite simply put, possibly don't have the ability to do so.. I don't feel they are able to truly see and understand the situation from an abstract perspective................should they recognse that, one prudent avenue to go down could be one of outsourcing the huge undertaking, or in the least develop a partnership in a proven enitity that can turn the tide.............Thu, 21 May 2026 02:15:08 +0000Another one from the "dumb"-brigade.

This case is especially troubling due to suggestions that Ethan may have been thrown from the vehicle during an argument. The article also highlights the risks faced by tourists travelling in open-backed vehicles in Thailand. This leads me to wonder whether standard travel insurance policies cover medical costs if a passenger is injured in a songthaew accident.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:12:52 +0000Sorry Jonny, you brought up the "it can't be racist because Pakistan isn't a race" thing, not me, I wasn't even involved in this thread until you came up with that gem. So I give you an example of why it is a stupid and commonly used "trick" that racists use to say they can't be racist. A racism "get out of jail free" card, a way to get off on a technicality. And when you don't have an answer to my example as there isn't one, you play the other get out of jail free card, the "off topic" one........even though you took it there in the first place. Classic.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:12:49 +0000We used Asian Tiger for our move from South Korea to Phuket a couple years ago. They were efficient and timely with their services. One container, everything arrived undamaged and intact. Would highly recommend them.

Now, possibly, slightly less. Thanks to the Commission's desire to negate Hungary's veto on funding the proxy war in the Ukraine. Using the U.K.'s nuclear weapons as a bargaining counter to gain favourable terms for re-entry to the E.U. supposes that E.U. negotiators are ignorant of the fact that our nuclear weapons are American and their use subject to U.S. approval. Not a problem in the past, supposedly. But now? I am in favour of bilateral agreements that are mutually beneficial, whether with individual countries or with groups of nations that facilitate trade. But trade agreements have to be sought and negotiated. They do not simply fall out of the sky into one's lap.Thu, 21 May 2026 02:06:04 +0000
