https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenAlways entertaining to see the Rube Goldberg-esque twists and turns the MAGA crowd manufactures to somehow take the blame away from their messiah. Where might oil prices and inflation be if Trump hadn't started the war and messed around with tariffs? It's ALL Trump's fault. At some point, even Trump's beloved "poorly educated" might finally realize that a guy who had 6 bankruptcies, inherited and was given upwards of half a billion dollars by his dad, and whose dad cosigned all Trump's loans until his passing, might not be the "stable genius" and "greatest dealmaker" he claims. Well, maybe they won't. The cultishness runs deep. Per his tax returns, Trump really had a negative net worth until his Game Show, his dad passing and gifting him $412 million, and finally when Trump could grift off his goobers and his position as President.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:46:00 +0000It is pronounced "Mway Tie" (or Moy Tie). If you want to sound like a local instead of a tourist, here is the quick breakdown of how the two syllables actually work: 1. Muay (มวย)How to say it: Think of it like "Mway" (rhymes with play or away), but blended quickly into a single sound. The common mistake: A lot of Westerners pronounce it as "Moo-ay"Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:45:52 +0000HardThu, 11 Jun 2026 03:45:24 +0000You lot are not welcome..go home!!!...can we not be any clearer..Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:45:09 +0000Well as a result Iran targeted a US base in Jordan destroying several F35 fighters.

Pol Lt Col Suwit Deemeehan, an investigator at Hang Chat Police Station, received reports of a fire and people potentially trapped inside a hotel in Moo 13, Pong Yang Khok subdistrict, Hang Chat district, Lampang. Fire engines, Pong Yang Khok rescue volunteers, the Lampang Rescue Association and nearby rescue units were dispatched to the scene.

Obviously you have never trained in the sport or been to a live event. You are exactly the type of farang I would avoid.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:42:30 +0000Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:41:40 +0000He's actually right, as many Thais, my girlfriend included, as her Nick is Muay, say it drawn out moo-ay as this AI explains........... Yes, some Thai people might pronounce "Muay Thai" in a way that sounds like "moo-oi tie" to English speakers, though strictly speaking, the correct phonetic pronunciation in Thai is more like "moo-ay tie". The pronunciation naturally varies in day-to-day conversation: "Moo-ay" (The word for boxing/combat): When spoken quickly or with certain regional accents, the two vowel sounds in "Muay" can blend together. This results in something closely resembling "Moo-oi" or even "Moy". "Tie" (The word for Thailand): This is pronounced identically to the English word for tying your shoe Because the Thai language is heavily tonal, it can often sound quite different depending on the specific speaker. To native Thais, saying "Moo-oi Tie" is perfectly understood, and the martial art is a source of immense cultural pride in the country. The more you're integrated into the Thai populace, meaning actual wives and girlfriends, the more you'll hear how more Thais speak. It's either Moy-Tie or Moo-ay tie A link explains more.............https://sibaimuaythai.com/moo-ay-thai-is-the-right-pronunciation/Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:41:40 +0000There are more ways of gaining favour where females are concerned.....U never know.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:40:40 +0000The io is wrong. Countless folk have obtained COR for various things such as TDL or open bank account etc. Some offices would require a TM30 or most recent TM47. Of course tourists also may have need for COR. The notion that a yellow book is required is ridiculous. Perhaps he/she meant a yellow book would suffice for application of the CORThu, 11 Jun 2026 03:40:19 +0000Perhaps they have finally found a translator so they can communicate with the accused ?Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:40:05 +0000I know you are full of it.

I've ordered 2x 150mm aquaphonic type fans and a thermostat.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:39:32 +0000It may not be beyond belief after the November 2026 nationwide elections if Democrats gain simple majority in the House and 2/3's majority in the Senate. Of course Trump could be removed currently under Section 4, 25th Amendment of Constitution by VP and majority of POTUS Cabinet - obviously unlikely now. If by some "magic" he was removed, it then requires 2/3 majority of both House and Senate for removal. That requires much more magic.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:39:26 +0000You are correct Thaskin was not the only Thai politician to have his snout in the trough. but it is not about that it is about human rights ! Under the United Nations Human Rights framework, human rights are a shared responsibility. While national governments bear the primary duty to protect and fulfill these rights, every individual, corporation, and institution in society is also responsible for respecting human rights in their daily lives and interactions, Human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, have documented severe human rights breaches linked to former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The most prominent violations occurred during his time in office from 2001 to 2006, primarily centered around his controversial anti-narcotics and security policies The 2003 "War on Drugs": Declaring a heavily militarized crackdown on methamphetamine, the government effectively promoted extrajudicial executions Human Rights Watch. Over 2,000 individuals were killed by death squads and police over a three-month period, with many victims blacklisted without due process Human Rights Watch. Southern Thailand Insurgency Abuses: Security forces under his administration were implicated in severe crackdowns on the Muslim-majority southern provinces Incidents included the 2004 storming of the Krue Se Mosque and the Tak Bai incident, where 84 Muslim demonstrators died while being held in military custody Enforced Disappearances: Rights monitors cite the 2004 enforced disappearance and alleged killing of prominent Muslim lawyer Somchai Neelapaijit as a hallmark abuse of his administration . Somchai had been actively defending alleged insurgents who claimed they were tortured by police. Freedom of Expression: During his administration, press freedom in Thailand—historically considered one of the freest in Asia—began to severely deteriorate through targeted censorship, criminal libel prosecutions, and pressure on media outletsThu, 11 Jun 2026 03:38:38 +0000You go ask Thais. I learnt how to say it in 05 in Thai gyms from Thais. You keep doubling down on being wrong. Clearly you are a fool.Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:38:35 +0000Economist, are you? Biden inherited Covid, the Republican tax cut, and the 41% increase in total US National Debt Trump left him, after Trump ran up a new $8,400,000,000,000 pile of debt. I'll help you with the math...that's equivalent of $25,000 for every man, woman and child in the US at that time. Now put your Adam Smith beanie on and riddle me this: Might that massive bit of money printing 'somehow' contributed to the inflation? And how about pent up demand as Biden brought Covid under control and ended the lockdown? Maybe it would take an online IQ of 138 to answer that, so I'll cut you some slack. Oh, and let's not forget Biden brought that inflation way back down to ~3% by the time he left office. Bonus question---kind of like the stable genius' boast about picking out a squirrel from pics of a squirrel, lion, giraffe and alligator----what number is higher, 3 or 4.2? Next time you want to show your fealty for Trump and his idiocy, try this instead: "Hunter's laptop!!!!!"
