All the Thai people I know avoid the sun and go to the beach 5pm and after. Lounging around in restaurants I could believe. Or maybe at night by a pool bar, but according to you they work at night.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 06:41:18 +0000Pattaya Beach Fight Leaves Two Injured After Tourist Group Clash Police were called to Pattaya Beach in the early hours of June 5 after a violent confrontation broke out among around 20 Pakistani tourists near Pattaya City Police Station.

This isn't even worth debating. Westerner's insist Capitalism is "one of the most freest expressions known to mankind" as the majority of citizens in Western capitalistic countries are barely scraping by month to month, or even day to day, and most Gen Z kids are well and truly f***ed and will never own a home, many will be saddled with debt for a lifetime, many can't afford transportation or even basic healthcare. Yes! The Capitalistic Utopia! If I was in my 20's I'd be looking to immigrate to Asia as opposed to retired in Thailand, perhaps even China or Russia, where Western proponents of Capitalism insist that these countries economies are destitute. I don't buy the rhetoric that countries like China or Russia are hell-hole pits of inhumanity while I look around the country of my birth and see first-hand what a utopia that capitalism has brought to the United States. 👇🏼👇👇🏻👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿 Here is reality in the Capitalist Utopia of America 👇🏼👇👇🏻👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿 Welcome To The Capitalist Utopia Of The United States of America ALL HAIL CAPITALISM!!!Fri, 05 Jun 2026 06:40:37 +0000It is in the article. “Pannathorn Tangrungruangchai, known as “Bam”, served as the airline’s first female First Officer on flight TG564 from Bangkok to Hanoi” Which is normal as in almost all commercial airline career paths worldwide, airline captains begin as first officers (co-pilots).Fri, 05 Jun 2026 06:40:22 +0000I think keep the positive ones, and the question mark, and delete the negatives,. This way if someone is just trolling, they'll have to expose themselves by words, or make a rebuttal to what you wrote by words also. Less work cleaning things up for the mods, and those butt hurt can't lower another's reputation just because you made them look silly before. The question mark can stay if someone either doesn't understand what's written, or thinks it's incoherent, but it doesn't lower a reputation if the language barrier is there, and if they want things explained better, they can still ask the poster without using the question mark.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 06:39:04 +0000Yes, it's quite obvious you'll never be first to leave a scrap.

But, this might not solve the problem suggested in this Glorious Topic of mine. I am, of course, as usual, writing in all sincerity, and especially in this case. If and when I receive an UNCLEAR remark, then I feel compelled to clarify, as any good author should. But, also, this does NOT imply that I think that I am a good writer, and quite to the contrary. I hope this comment is clear, and needs no further clarification....however.... I am sure I will receive just one more QUESTION-MARK Emoji, from some here, for my meger efforts. Alas....what is a mediocre author to do, I wonder......Fri, 05 Jun 2026 06:38:39 +0000No, not every...body?

Washington, D.C. to Tehran is approximately 10,230 km (6,356 miles). From London, it's only about 4,401 km (2,735 miles), so Europe is likely to be affected by this war should it spread.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 06:34:49 +0000The UK news can go so low a snake wouldn't know if they crawled under it.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 06:34:42 +0000
