https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenHow do you know this if you never heard me speak? I asked you this before, yet you keep forgetting what others say and just go by your own narrative. Speaking Thai better than anyone means nothing here. It seems I've gotten along fine blending in here, can order food, ask directions, and what I need to do daily. You say a lot of things but AGAIN, haven't proven anything. Again, answer the questions I asked or you're the fraud. Don't bother otherwise with any other nonsensical questions towards me. Like a few others here have said, you likely live in mom's basement and visit Thailand on a tourist visa mom paid for, as you never say anything about you besides how many cities you visited, how many gyms you walk in and play with your phone, and how these cities are, which can be gained by a few seconds on the internet.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:42:48 +0000No, Muay Thai was not regularly broadcast on American television in the 1970s. During that decade, the average American sports fan had virtually no access to authentic Muay Thai. The sport existed almost entirely as an exotic rumor or a footnote in martial arts magazines. Your story is fake Fred. All you did was google famous names.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:42:47 +0000BMW’s plant in South Carolina From shuttered factory lines in Germany to booming production plants in the American South, a striking economic divide is opening across the developed world. While many advanced economies struggle under the weight of trade shocks, energy turmoil and sluggish growth, the United States continues to defy predictions of decline. The question now is not why America has outperformed — but how long it can keep doing so. Factories Tell the Story The contrast is hard to ignore. In eastern Germany, production has ended at Volkswagen’s showcase factory in Dresden. Meanwhile, BMW’s sprawling operation in South Carolina remains the company’s largest manufacturing site anywhere in the world. That divergence reflects a broader trend. Despite tariffs, labour market disruption and geopolitical instability, the US economy has maintained steady growth while many rivals have faltered. Trade War Fails to Break Momentum Many economists expected Donald Trump’s tariffs and immigration restrictions to drag heavily on growth. Instead, businesses adapted. Faced with higher costs and supply chain pressures, American firms accelerated investment rather than retreating. Capital spending has remained unusually strong, helping offset economic shocks that would traditionally slow growth and productivity. The result has been an economy still expanding at roughly 2% annually, even as global uncertainty deepens. The Energy Advantage Europe Lacks The Middle East conflict has pushed oil prices higher, but America’s economy is far less vulnerable to energy shocks than it once was. The shale revolution transformed the country into one of the world’s largest energy producers, reducing dependence on imported fuel and cushioning the impact of global price spikes. Europe, by contrast, remains more exposed to disruptions in international energy markets after years of relying on interconnected supply networks. Risk-Taking Drives the Gap Economists also point to a cultural difference. American businesses are generally more willing to take risks, attract investment and pursue growth even during periods of uncertainty. Access to deep capital markets gives firms greater flexibility than competitors that rely heavily on traditional bank lending. That ability to raise money quickly has helped fuel innovation, investment and resilience. Success Comes With a Catch Yet beneath the strong headline figures, cracks remain visible. Inflation is accelerating again, housing costs remain high and inequality continues to widen. Recent job numbers suggest the economy is still generating momentum, but rising prices are testing households and businesses alike. America may be outperforming its peers, but resilience is not the same as invulnerability. For now, the US remains the strongest performer among major developed economies. The challenge is whether that advantage can survive the next wave of economic shocks already gathering on the horizon. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy031el03poMon, 15 Jun 2026 07:42:13 +0000So basically it's gonna be a WAY worse deal than the JCPOA. Well, colour me surprised!😂Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:41:54 +0000A covert Godwin's Law violation. Apparently everything somebody dislikes now qualifies as Nazism. The comparison is beyond absurd, although I confess I do laugh. I visit this place for the same reason Victorians wandered around Bedlam Hospital to observe the inmates and emerge doubly grateful for my own sanity. You could have used Sturmer though preferably with an umlaut to underline the point ! Should have been 18 not 16 but it's all good.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:41:53 +0000And clear thinking from the victim's mother !Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:40:54 +0000Golden Leg fought in the 1970s. Are you really saying you watched him on TV in the USA in the 70s?Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:40:20 +0000'I've actually seen no believers that didn't.' Double negative not allowed in proper English.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:38:56 +0000Well, if you're in Gaza with bombs falling on your head, you're in HELL, aren't you? For "heaven", maybe Pattaya? Hehe ... joking ...sorta It doesn't even have to be in 'another realm' after death.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:37:44 +0000I know how to speak Thai better than you but that is not hard. Of course I'm not a MT expert which is why I listen to world champs when it comes to the sport. I got trained by one.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:37:16 +0000As far as I know there is no "kin liability" existing in Thailand. And I really don't know if he paid his taxes. Do you have more details actually?Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:36:57 +0000They tried. They had a deal around 25+ years ago to develop Chang Beer for a Thai partner so he could take Singha head on. The quid pro quo was that the Thai partner had to bottle Carlsberg beer in Thailand to challenge Heineken. But once Chang was making millions, the distribution of Carlsberg seemed to have been sidelined. There was a lawsuit - I think in Singapore where the contract was drawn up. Carlsberg won but I'm not sure if they ever received damages. Carlsberg was then out of the Thai market for a decade. International companies thinking about doing (any kind) of business in Thailand often find this case when doing their due diligence research.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:35:58 +0000Do you even? And why?Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:35:57 +0000So no days BEFORE it is due? I presume you mean 15 days before and 7 days after the due date.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:35:03 +0000Another dimension I would think.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:33:34 +0000English is a West Germanic language that evolved from dialects brought to Britain in the 5th century by Germanic tribes—the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. So, speak English like the people who invented the language, ie Germans How do you say WHERE DA SOUR KRAUT in English 😀😃😄😆😅😂🤣Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:32:18 +0000If you had an actual memory, people wouldn't have to repeat themselves here. I trained in gyms 18 years. Had many driving jobs, sold guns,landscaping. I don't remember the names but Golden Leg, Angel and Kick of Death were some. Sirimongkol was one I remember as it's my ex's brothers name. I also watched boxing for years and only recall the major boxers, as it was just entertainment and not a passion. Everyone I knew liked watching boxing, martial arts and kickboxing matches. Major cities had them all the time. What's your point? You're not an expert and just a spectator like millions of skinny Thais here, all thinking they are Muay Thai fighters but need to gang up 5 against 1 and kick like girls.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:32:17 +0000Yes I noticed, you have mentioned silly things many times previously.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:32:09 +0000It seems you have no idea to find answer all by yourself Guilty.... is GUILTY... civil or criminal.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:32:06 +0000The Atlantic is pointing out that trump hijacked the 250th anniversary of the US and celebrated his own birthday while capitulating to Iran. Americans must be so proud!😂 'Trump Celebrates While America Capitulates' https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/06/trump-iran-deal/687547/ "President Trump has announced that the United States and Iran have reached a deal to end their war. “Congratulations to all!” he said in a posting on his Truth Social site this evening. He then headed off to oversee the garish public spectacle he’d arranged for his birthday on the South Lawn of the White House. The United States, however, has little to celebrate: Trump and his team, in record time, just lost a war to a militarily mediocre—but nonetheless extremely dangerous—adversary."Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:30:26 +0000Probably because there's lots of Chinese and Japanese 'management' in the factories they own and run.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:30:04 +0000He was on a fishing trip.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:29:16 +0000A place where you can get a Glasgow Kiss..Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:28:13 +0000Must say that I would say Karma (what goes around comes around) and causality (action and reaction, even on small scales)... what you send out has a habit of coming back, not always, but often, as the positive and negative often ultimately must balance, like many other things even if lopsided for a while. Your decisions are half chance, so are everyone else's but experience, knowledge, and IQ/EQ can tip the balance a bit each way... but this idea that we are in control of things is a nonsense illusion.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:27:34 +0000He said invest.
