Also wondering after them complaining how they are going to only charge me 45 baht to go from Khukot to Ekamai.  Yes, BMA owns it, but BTS still has to pay for their staff and equipment maintenance.  Trains are already full, so they really are not going to make that much more off of  users.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:55:58 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Are the Best Things About Living in Bangkok?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397284-what-are-the-best-things-about-living-in-bangkok/?do=findComment&comment=20567911]]></link><description>So I make more than you.

Dear Folks,  Girls today seem not to be what they once were.  I&#x2019;m not sure if you have noticed this obvious fact.  But, if you could go back in time&#x2026;.  JUST FOR A KISS&#x2026;.from Ingrid&#x2026;then&#x2026;.  How much would you pay?  &#x201C;For a kiss For a kiss I would &#x2026;.&#x201D; Is this not sort of the gist of a Beatles Song?    Having recently re-watched this amazing Ingrid Film, I was moved to tears when Ingrid finally relented and gave her heart, if only for a brief moment, to Norman Bates, and&#x2026;SEALED IT WITH A KISS&#x2026;..God&#x2026;.How VERY MOVING&#x2026;..tears flowed, or would have, if I were not as old as I am, or if I were a woman, which I am not.  As for me, and especially now, I would give EVERYTHING I OWN, just to have one kiss from Ingrid, in the FRONT SEAT of a Triumph&#x2026;.Nothing could be finer in life, at least nothing that I can now imagine.  I know you probably agree.  Best regards, and&#x2026;. ENJOY the FILM, FOLKS&#x2026; Gamma   NOTE:  And if the SYMBOLISM was intention, which I think it must have been&#x2026;.We see INGRID in the DRIVER&#x2019;S SEAT, which I think was always true of her, throughout her life.  There is no woman on Earth finer than Ingrid Bergman. Even the Chinese think so&#x2026;.  NOTE2:  Here in Thailand, as you may have noticed, is the SEASON OF FIREFLIES&#x2026;  These fireflies, this evening, are roaming around my garden, flickering, as is their wont. And, each time I see a firefly flicker, I am reminded, with utter angst, of the amazing LIGHT which was so reflective of Ingrid&#x2019;s great acting work, throughout her amazing career.  She LIT UP THE WORLD, and still does.  So, I say:  Ingrid, please come back. Please come back and give me just&#x2026;. ONE MORE KISS&#x2026;..!!!!    ENJOY, if you will......  Unfortunately, I am unable to FORCE you to watch this film...although.... I would, if I could.....</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:54:52 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Are the Best Things About Living in Bangkok?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397284-what-are-the-best-things-about-living-in-bangkok/?do=findComment&comment=20567909]]></link><description>I retired last year.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:54:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20567908]]></link><description>Moses</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:53:33 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Are the Best Things About Living in Bangkok?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397284-what-are-the-best-things-about-living-in-bangkok/?do=findComment&comment=20567907]]></link><description>How much do you make an hour?</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:53:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Are the Best Things About Living in Bangkok?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397284-what-are-the-best-things-about-living-in-bangkok/?do=findComment&comment=20567906]]></link><description>You wish.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:52:26 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Iran Agrees To Total Trump Humiliation Deal</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396608-iran-agrees-to-total-trump-humiliation-deal/?do=findComment&comment=20567905]]></link><description>Stop blowing smoke on behalf of trump, you old perv. Of course the Pentagon (meaning the professionals, not Pete with the petroleum hair and his posse of muppets) has war-gamed this a hundred times, and trump MUST have been told about that possible/likely consequence of the attack. But being stupid, he decided to go ahead anyway, and now he reaps the rewards - bottomless humiliation.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:52:19 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>UN Report Accuses Israel of Genocide Against Children</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397359-un-report-accuses-israel-of-genocide-against-children/?do=findComment&comment=20567904]]></link><description>When October 7 happened, the whole world was in shock.  More and more abominations committed by Hamas came to light and for many , me included, the worst part was about those 30 babies, who were beheaded and/or put in ovens.  I mean, we all know that terrible things happen in wars and that collateral damage does not spare kids, but intentionally murdering a child by chopping its head off was a new and by now unparalleled level of cruelty.  There is no culture, no religion, no society that I know of, which would accept let alone support such abominations.  Even the lowest in our culture, those put in prison for major crimes despise child rapists and even more so child murderers, who regularly and rightfully do not last long there.  That being said, I am deeply appalled and frankly cannot believe that there are still adults, educated people raised in the Christian-Western tradition, who accept or even condone the IDF deliberately slaughtering children in Gaza or try to dismiss those report as lies from a "Hamas-infiltrated UN&#x201C; which makes them even more pathetic.  They do not even have the decensy to at least read one of those reports, because then they would know that the UN report is not some private opinion of a few Mulsim members but is based on  &#x201E;A significant body of research by legal and rights experts has concluded that Israel is intent on destroying Palestinians, including analyses by UN investigators, rights bodies such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, and genocide scholars worldwide.&#x201C; From the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/23/israel-deliberately-targeting-gaza-children-to-commit-genocide-un-inquiry-finds  Do you really have the brass neck to tell us that all these experts lie and are with Hamas???   ALL OF THEM????  People who can't even feel pity for children and approve of their slaughter are the absolute lowest of the low, the dregs of society. I find them deeply repulsive and disgusting, and I regret having to breathe the same air as them.  How do you even bear your own faces in the mirror???&#x201C;</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:52:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Are the Best Things About Living in Bangkok?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397284-what-are-the-best-things-about-living-in-bangkok/?do=findComment&comment=20567903]]></link><description>No skiing in Thailand?

It can inspire many separate groups, but that doesn&#x2019;t make them one coordinated entity. Socialism produces socialist parties, not one global organization. Likewise, antifascist ideology leads to various independent groups, but &#x2018;Antifa&#x2019; is not a centralized organization with leadership, membership rolls, or a command structure. Antifascism per se is not inherently far left.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:46:39 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Iran Agrees To Total Trump Humiliation Deal</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396608-iran-agrees-to-total-trump-humiliation-deal/?do=findComment&comment=20567895]]></link><description>No money is going to be released to Iran...........we will be releasing billions to Iran.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:45:43 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Singer Jailed 2 Years For Fatal Drunk Driving Crash in Bangkok</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397387-singer-jailed-2-years-for-fatal-drunk-driving-crash-in-bangkok/?do=findComment&comment=20567894]]></link><description>Thailands shame !! wonder if he will come back after all the time runs out ??</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:45:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Are the Best Things About Living in Bangkok?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397284-what-are-the-best-things-about-living-in-bangkok/?do=findComment&comment=20567893]]></link><description>I posted the facts which you can't handle.

More than 40 years in EU in different hospitals. not in Thailand.  Oxybutynin is highly effective when it comes to excessive sweating.  It was made for treating an overreactive bladder. That's why you are reluctant, aren't you? It blocks certain signals sent to sweat glands, preventing them from producing sweat. (in simple words) Side effects are dry mouth, dizziness, heat intolerance, that means she will have to be very careful with temperatures and have to drink a lot. 2,5mg daily might be a start.

The main demand is for platforms that allow fast conversion between crypto and fiat, as well as support for multiple payment methods (bank cards, international systems, and sometimes cash). Users also expect 24/7 availability, transparent conditions, and quick transaction processing.  One example of this approach is Darken &#x2014; a service combining crypto exchange with bank cards, payment systems, and cash operations in one place. The focus is on speed, simplicity, and continuous support during transactions.  As the market matures, convenience and trust are becoming just as important as exchange rates themselves.
