By that logic, Christianity never had extremists and MAGA never beat cops with flagpoles on Jan 6th.  Individuals act&#x2014;not ideas.  Two cherry-picked links don't magically turn an ideology into a street gang or a centralized organization.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:50:54 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Visa extension refusals - any stats?

Polluted all year round. I go to a night market under trees and the trees absorb some pollution. Those rooftop bars are very pretentious. The fact you can't name 3 genuine reasons for liking them means they are. A beach bar has a sea breeze, less pollution, less noise plus you can walk on the beach. Western cities have rooftop bars too but don't have Thai style beach bars so Bangkok rooftop bars are not unique or special.  Icon Siam has great views. I've been there a few times. Nice food too.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:44:23 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>British Man Arrested After Acid Attack in Pattaya</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397397-british-man-arrested-after-acid-attack-in-pattaya/?do=findComment&comment=20567713]]></link><description>If the victim survives, her life from this point on will be constant pain, mental anguish and numerous operations.  The local police in Pattaya have failed to prosecute a number of serious assaults over the years having arrested the perpetrator. Assailants have been able to catch a flight home after a negotiated payoff.   I hope this does not happen here.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:44:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Europe Heatwave Drives Drowning Deaths and Disruption</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397363-europe-heatwave-drives-drowning-deaths-and-disruption/?do=findComment&comment=20567712]]></link><description>That was 40 years ago.

Equally so - sitting in a bar on the banks of the Mekon drinking is equally great - all in a different way, but all enjoyable and very pleasant nonetheless.   And again - check the AQI in Bangkok - its currently 31 much better than many capitals across Europe and the US.  You can't hear much of that traffic from the roof top bars either.  I suspect you'e never been to a Roof Top Bar in Bangkok and are instead forcing an opinion not based on any actual experience, but pure negative bias.  If in Bangkok - give a rooftop bar a try - its a really pleasant change from being at street level and the views across the city, particularly as the sun sets can be outstanding.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:42:45 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
