They frequently describe it as "broken". Up until recently they were Labour voters. I jokingly refer to them as champagne socialists when we clash on politics. They're not of course but they are successful and left of centre. They are shocked at the decline over the last few years. You can move areas to get away from certain [cough] problems but the cost of living, insane taxation, failed NHS, overreaching state, warped justice system etc. will follow you. Enjoy it though. I'm very happy here in Thailand.Tue, 26 May 2026 06:24:05 +0000BDG Game has become one of the fastest-growing online gaming and betting platforms for users who enjoy casino entertainment, Bdg Game Login sports betting, and real-money gaming experiences.

Officers have now taken the Finnish motorsport veteran to Lumpini police station for further questioning as investigators work to establish exactly what happened. At 12.20pm on May 26, Metropolitan Police Bureau commissioner Pol Lt Gen Siam Boonsom ordered Maj Gen Phanlop Aremla, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, to oversee the investigation on the ground. He was joined by Pol Col Rueethi Pandam, deputy commander of the Metropolitan Police investigation division, and Pol Col Yingyos Suwannawet, chief of Lumpini police station. Police later found Mika Salo, 59, staying at a hotel in the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok. During initial questioning, Salo reportedly told officers he did not know what caused the injury to his leg while he was in the Sukhumvit area. Lumpini police then escorted the former F1 driver to the station for formal questioning as part of efforts to clarify the facts surrounding the case. Authorities are continuing to investigate whether he was deliberately attacked or injured in another way. The case gained international attention after Finnish media outlets including Ilta-Sanomat and Helsingin Sanomat reported that Salo had been slashed in the leg by a motorcyclist while crossing a pedestrian crossing near his hotel in Bangkok. Earlier reports stated the wound required 28 stitches. According to the Finnish reports, Salo said he initially only felt a “slight bump” from a motorcycle passing very close to him while crossing the road. He reportedly continued walking for a few steps before people nearby shouted that blood was pouring from his leg. Salo later looked down and saw his shoes covered in blood, according to the reports published in Finland. The incident prompted a city-wide effort by Bangkok police, with officers across 88 stations instructed to help identify the location where the injury occurred. Khaosod reported that investigators are expected to continue interviewing Salo and reviewing evidence from the Sukhumvit area, including possible CCTV footage, to determine whether criminal charges or further action will follow.

Kurusapa almost never gives the license anymore unless you are qualified as a teacher, preferable master. It is one of the reasons that there are almost no foreign teachers anymore.Tue, 26 May 2026 06:19:24 +0000One of my favorite phrases to teach to my better students (during slow, fun times) is the native speaker's grunt of "I don't know."

As for where to teach, doing so at high school or younger is a fools errand really now, as Krusapha is a nightmare to deal with, and some teacher guys I know suggest you need a degree in education to do it long term and getting and maintain a teacher's licence is a pain in the backside... most say better to work in tertiary education as better work-life ballance and you don't get asked to do silly stuff the Thai high school teachers also have to do, even though it's a little less pay. However, I'm not 100% how much education places bend the rules these days as teacher supply has fallen off a cliff in the last 10 years.Tue, 26 May 2026 06:15:24 +0000I have seen grinders and strimmers being carried on motorbikes. Both of these could cause this kind of injury and give the impression it was a deliberate slashing. Also there is a long history in Bangkok of Western tourists being hit when crossing the road. The reasons for this are obvious. Western traffic norms diverge significantly from Thai traffic norms.Tue, 26 May 2026 06:15:18 +0000Do you really think there is two months of oil supply in storage?Tue, 26 May 2026 06:14:42 +0000from your post the 18 months of painstaking JCPOA negotiations ultimately produced a highly fragile agreement that failed to prevent Iran from advancing its enrichment to the threshold of 60% highly enriched uranium (HEU)."

They have a factory in Thailand and other countries. In the meantime I bought 4 x Goodyear Maxguard year 2024 on Shopee for 8800 baht.

So far it only happens when I use the garden house to play with our dog. I don't use a sprayer, just the hose because the dog has more fun. I fold the hose over and plug the end with my thumb and then release quickly and our dog loves the sudden arc of water that results. After doing this 2 or 3 times, I feel the water pressure is still decent but weaker than normal. I then go check the pump and it is running continuously. I leave it run a few minutes... still running. The first time this happened I unplugged the pump cord and let it sit for ½ hour. When I plugged it in, the pump resumed normal operation.... shutting off after system is sufficiently pressurized. The same thing happened just now. I also tried closing the valve that is on the output side of the pump.... doesn't help... pump still running. I unplugged for 10 minutes and when plugged back in the pump only made a low volume humming sound. When I briefly opened a nearby valve the pump started but again would not shut off. I unplugged the pump, opened a nearby valve and kept it open until the pressure in our whole system was released. We have two houses with many bathrooms and kitchens connected to the single house pump so there is a lot of piping. Consequently it takes a while for the pressure to subside. I then closed the valve and restarted the pump.....problem gone! What's going on? Is the pressure buildup in the garden hose followed by sudden release damaging the pressure switch that is supposed to turn off the pump?Tue, 26 May 2026 06:14:10 +0000Decades later, I'm still haunted by that scene from The Crying Game.
