People discuss laws all the time without having to become politicians first. Suggesting "run for office" is a rather odd way of looking at discussion. By that logic, nobody should ever question a law unless they're prepared to become a politician and change it themselves. Society doesn't work that way. Most people have careers, families and responsibilities that make entering politics unrealistic, yet they're still perfectly entitled to evaluate, support or criticise public policy. The entire purpose of public discussion is to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions and debate whether laws are sensible. If every criticism were met with "run for office" or "we don't have the rights to an opinion because we're not Thai"... we'd have to shut down every discussion forum, newspaper opinion page and political debate overnight.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:14:09 +0000Presumably he took the video with the intention of releasing it.

My mentioning a particular broker is simply based on my and several friend's experience and should be able to provide information on what is available at what cost. I am sure there are other brokers who can also provide such information. As we all know, this is Thailand and whether to look into the matter and decide to purchase accident insurance is as they say - Up to you!Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:09:18 +0000If anyone sees the video posted anywhere, they should report it to the Police.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:09:00 +0000Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will stay at a royal residence during their visit to the UK next month after accepting an invitation from King Charles III, marking the first time they have done so since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. Get today's headlines by email The visit will be the couple's first trip to Britain together in four years and their first family visit since 2022. They will be joined by their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, although the children are not expected to appear at public events. First acceptance of royal accommodationA palace source previously said the Sussex family had been offered accommodation on the royal estate for future visits, but this is the first occasion they have accepted the invitation. CNN understands the family will divide their stay between a royal residence and private accommodation during the trip. Harry and Meghan left royal life in 2020 and moved to California, saying they wanted to become financially independent. Their departure was followed by years of public tensions with the royal family. In interviews and Harry's memoir, the couple cited media intrusion, family disputes and racism within British institutions as factors behind their decision to leave. Signs of improving relationsHarry has returned to the UK several times since relocating to the US. Meghan accompanied him for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022, while Harry attended King Charles III's coronation alone in 2023. In September last year, Harry and the King met privately at Clarence House for the first time in 19 months, as Charles underwent cancer treatment. The meeting fuelled speculation that relations between the two were improving, and they are reported to have remained in contact. Harry, however, is still believed to be estranged from his brother, Prince William. Invictus Games eventsThe trip will centre on events marking one year until the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, the international sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick service personnel founded by Harry. The visit will begin with Invictus-related engagements in London, where Meghan will join him, before Harry attends additional events in the Midlands linked to charities and causes he supports. The family's security arrangements have not been disclosed. Harry has previously expressed concerns about bringing Meghan and their children to Britain after losing taxpayer-funded police protection when he stepped back from royal duties. While staying at a royal residence, however, the family will be covered by existing security arrangements. Details of the family's private activities during the visit have not been made public.

They're a hundred times better. My school owner friend here, in the school system for 50 years here and trained in the US for English, before coming back and opening his school, which is country known, told me, which I already knew, my daughter will do much better living in America, with it's better schools, living conditions, safer driving, and a better chance to find a better mate, and he's a 72 year old Thai man. Every Thai woman I know back in the states said they'll never return to Thailand, as they have a much better life there. That up to 65% or more of school girls here are molested by age 17 shows what goes on here, whereas it's less than 10% in America, and is reason enough not to leave girls here. I wouldn't leave my daughter here for any reason, as I care about her too much. The Buddhist culture looks at women as secondary, which Americans don't unless they are the few misogynists there, who are easily avoided. Here it's impossible. Others here have sent their children to America for schooling, and they've stayed to work afterwards.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:08:08 +0000If the Grandfather is deceased and the mother is his daughter and there were no older male heirs, then she would be his successor, thus probably now having the legal standing to invoke the law.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:07:13 +0000And don't forget............... there was that guy who got life (I think) for looking at a woman the wrong way on a train...........would that be two track justice?Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:07:10 +0000This statement is refuted in Google's terms of service for data stored on their Drive service.

I was not aware of a required minimum standard of intelligence I agree, the whole point of a discussion is to exchange ideas, whether people agree or disagree. What doesn't really move the discussion forward is responding with tired pathetic borrowed clichés by someone trying to be a smart arse instead of engaging with the point being made. "If you can't go without booze for 24 hours..." is probably one of the oldest and least original comments in these threads. It completely misses the point by pretending the discussion is about alcohol dependency, when it's actually about the reasoning behind the regulation. Then doubling down with "You're a guest here, you can't have an opinion" is just another tired pathetic borrowed cliché that attempts to shut down discussion rather than address the argument. By that logic, no foreigner here should questions or discuss the law - which is obviously absurd. Neither response engages with the actual issue. They simply avoid it. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing. Go ahead and disagree, at least argue against the point being made rather than substituting it with the nothin better than inane regurgitated mediocrity presented as wisdom - its just transparently dim.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:06:04 +0000I admit, that was my first thought after reading about his admission/s.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:05:49 +0000Still promoting the restaurant I see ?
