https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenThanks, but I I don't think Drummond has upset the ruling classes and Royals. His Royal stuff is in a coffee table book compiled by Denis Grey (former Bangkok bujreau cheif of AP) presented to the late King Bhumipol. I think he might have upset influential Thai figures connected to foreign fraud operations. I guess maybe they were in the ruling classes and also underworld so to speak.Sun, 24 May 2026 19:12:56 +0000The world should not fear an Iranian nuke as much as we should fear the nukes from Israel, and many other countries, such as..... All of the nuclear-armed countries. Iran is NOT the supreme threat to the world. The existential threat comes from countries that have massive numbers of nukes......such as.... USA USSR (formerly known as Russia) ETC INdia paKIStan Nameless others....but..... NOT IRAN...Folks....Sun, 24 May 2026 19:08:39 +0000The Trump admin is so full of horse manure, it could fill the massive shortfall of worldwide fertilizer due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Last June, Hegseth and Trump assured the world that Iran's ability to manufacture a nuclear bomb had been OBLITERATED. So no need to give a flying fig about any Iranian nuclear bomb.Sun, 24 May 2026 19:02:13 +0000Somehow I do not think you are a Thai visa lady. And you are getting more and more frustrated by the sound of things. The Award 'The Maurice Ludmer Memorial Award' was indeed a one-off for 'Investigations into Racism and Facism' (he became an undercover Nazi for 18 months with a total new identity) He did indeed track down Gary Glitter together with photographer Andy Chant in Vung Tau. He was actually called in by the News of the World after their team was unable to find Glitter. The actual byline on the story was Neville Thurlbeck, who did not leave his desk in London. Andrew Drummond was acccredited to the Times at the time and he did not want his name on his copy re-written by Thurlbeck - who was one of the few people who did time for offences committed during the phone hacking scandal. (Drummond went on strike against Murdoch in 1986). Drummond and Chant were referred to in the story as 'our team of investigators'. 555. He covered Glitters trial in Vietnam and, when Glitter was released from jail, working with FACE* Drummond ensured that Glitter was not allowed to enter Thailand. Drummond was the only person told that Glitter was being put on a certain flight and again with Chant, was the only reporter with Glitter when he was shuffled off to Hong Kobng, from where he was extradited immediately More than 25 of those 40 years btw there was no internet so you will have to find the newspaper clippings. If you ask nicely and provide an email with as real name on it Drummond says he will be happy to oblige. You have little understanding of how newspapers work despite formerly being I believe CEO of the Pattaya News. On stories that were not exclusive they were pinged simultaneously to - depending on the target audience- but usually all major daily and evening newspapers and national and regional TV stations in the UK. He often did p/t camera interviews and phone-ins. etc. I attach a Glitter picture for you and a UKPG story on that award which Andrew has sent me.. *FACE Fight Against Child Exploitation.Sun, 24 May 2026 19:01:02 +0000Standing up. Or upside down. And, turned around. Who was Gordon Haskell.....?????Sun, 24 May 2026 18:57:19 +0000Breathing issues during the night. Clogged sinus etc. Itchy skin. Headaches. All of which I wasnt experiencing before sleeping in the room. On some you can see the built up dirt on the blower. Pooling water underneath is also a tell tale sign of clogging.Sun, 24 May 2026 18:53:42 +0000Goon? Whatever......Sun, 24 May 2026 18:50:49 +0000Such a wasted life. You really should never have left Gladwyne, in my opiinon. Gladwyne was so much better than anything Thailand now has to offer. Do you agree? Do you disagree? You know that I am right. Too late now, though.....Sun, 24 May 2026 18:50:08 +0000How does one know if the aircon is dirty..?..Tell tales signs?Sun, 24 May 2026 18:49:07 +0000Women love to be objectified.

They did the rest. Called me to come in and pick it up in a week or two. I think the total cost was around 10k. That included the renewal fees.Sun, 24 May 2026 17:46:11 +0000Are there certain people that lose all sense of manners when they are on holiday? Unbelievable.Sun, 24 May 2026 17:44:10 +0000A few foreign Anti semites shouting loudly and posting a few stories numerous times . French and British and Indians seem to be in the news on daily basis for misbehaving and its soon forgotten about , one Israeli doesn't take her shoes off in beach side restaurant and its never forgotten about (By foreign Muslim sympathises , Thais weren't bothered about it )Sun, 24 May 2026 17:40:47 +00007-11 staff members tend to be pretty soft going, but honour is a big thing in Thailand, so if they feel you cheat them they will stand their ground. It’s very rare for this to happen, so I am going to assume they had some validity to their questioning. The tourist is clearly vile which adds weight to the whole notion he is not a good egg. He got very lucky to escape with very little damage.Sun, 24 May 2026 17:40:30 +0000I'm not a progressive.Sun, 24 May 2026 17:37:10 +0000It's not better to sit and pee, the bladder doesn't fully drain and can lead to urinary tract infections.Sun, 24 May 2026 17:29:07 +0000Is she now a double or triple secret agent ?Sun, 24 May 2026 17:26:28 +0000Its very much illegal to try to enter a Country without permission or visas , let alone try to break a legal military blockade of a Country at warSun, 24 May 2026 17:24:48 +0000In Bangkok, the so-called "sidewalks" or "pavements" as well as the curbs and the pedestrian overpasses are deadly pitfalls, once you get older. They may have been fun when you were 30 and they reminded you of your last hike in the mountains. Now they will just make you slip and fall. After a hip fracture, almost 10% of patients die in the hospital, and 20% die within a year. Indoor traps are invisible steps that are not marked, or invisible inclines of the floor where one would expect a horizontal floor), and obviously, wet bathroom floors. Walk extremely careful, walk slow like a Thai, keep your eyes on the ground.Sun, 24 May 2026 17:19:56 +0000Iran... for a start.Sun, 24 May 2026 17:12:02 +0000We paid outer share via Well since Sany Abacha stole 3-5 billion US in his short time as Nigeria's dictator in chief perhaps it would be more efficient for the UK to pay reparations direct to their Swiss accounts !Sun, 24 May 2026 17:10:54 +0000
