https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenThis is Total B/S It is NOT a liner it is a spray on polyurea-polyurethane hybrid coating Very similar to an epoxy where two components are mixed together to make a catalyzed product. the product used is called Pipeliner 5000 Someone did not tear it and pull it. That’s kind of the dumbest thing I’ve heard in this whole situation. Try taking any paint or coating that’s properly applied and see if you can tear it up. And you cannot cut it with a knife News flash: it’s impossible. This product is not suitable for this application as it is light sensitive First, these coatings are very climate-sensitive. If done in direct sunlight, it could cause the product to cure too quickly and not adhere to the concrete. Also, if the concrete was not properly prepared at the time and not grinded down properly, the coating would not be able to soak in. Additionally, moisture could have been in the ground at the time of application. Ultimately, the issue isn’t the coating or anything done to the reflecting pool after installation. The most likely cause of the issue is the prep done by the contractor who did the job. Vandalism caused the product to peel. This is impossible if installed correctly. The closest thing I can compare the products they used to is an epoxy floor in garage or commercial floor. If you know what I’m talking about then you’d understand that it is physically impossible to make it peel unless it was installed improperly.or the wrong coating chosenWed, 24 Jun 2026 05:52:44 +0000How soon we forget that lefties were claiming Trump was lying about the attack on the Texas ICE facility. Now, they're claiming he's lying about vandalism at the Reflecting Pool. He wasn't lying then (and the 50-100 year sentences prove it) and he isn't lying now. Edit: BTW, I hope the Dems and lefties keep protesting in favor of pond scum (and criminal aliens). It worked so well in 2024, they need to stay on that bandwagon.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:50:04 +0000So the owner of the truck (private or baht bus ???) along with the other vehicle that hit him, were not insured ??? Unless brain dead, with the 1M THB already, why won't a better hospital admit him ??? All sounding a bit fishy.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:48:43 +0000God often acts like a psychopath and a narcissist in the Old Testament. Jealous, revengeful, demanding worship, punishing people hard, and wiping out whole groups when they disobey. Jesus had anger too, but he is almost the opposite image in many ways. Mercy, forgiveness, helping the weak, and challenging the powerful. That contrast is hard to ignore, yet Christians still claim he is in his Father’s image. If they cannot separate Jesus from the Old Testament and the Torah, then they are cultivating something else than the savior they claim him to be.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:48:11 +0000So you are my slave thanks! Still wrong though.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:47:41 +0000Good point, but I think the real, the genuine, rioting would occur if you substituted Cape Verde by Scotland......Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:47:40 +0000That's the problem. Boys think they can do no wrong and girls think that being beautiful means you are entitledWed, 24 Jun 2026 05:44:13 +0000If there are identifiable threats then the police /security forces will no doubt give him the appropriate cover and as an MP given what happen to Jo Cox and David Amess he will have more enhanced security and intelligence than Joe Public . Maybe also he could stop inflaming the public discourse with addresses to the nation from a field (has there ever been anything more pathetic ?) when tempers are fraying and stop contributing to Farage Riots.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:44:11 +0000Just look at the three universities I alluded to above. I didn't give their names, because of course this is Thailand and I will not take the risk. But public documents demonstrate just who the three are--and you can ask AI and find out too. BTW on a completely unrelated topic, I wonder how the weather is in Dubai today. Now back to the issue. Chinese education investors buy the Thai university and charge the Chinese "students" tuition, almost all of which is paid in China, with a small remnant going to staff in Thailand. The Chinese owned university actually runs a deficit or near deficit in Thailand. The classes are in Mandarin and the review boards are Chinese nationals. And this creates a cover for Chinese laborers to work in Thailand. If it sounds like zero dollar tours, that's because it's the same model. A huge scam. But as you ask, will anything be done? (There are said to be other universities than the three but they are not publicly owned so no documentation. I can also go into the legit private Thai universities and how they have created grad programs that are almost exclusively Chinese. Clues? See how many universities now mainly hire Indians to teach their required English classes.)Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:43:17 +0000...Meanwhile It's Been Snowing In Parts Of North America... ...A 30+ Year Charade Narrative Still Being Pushed Onto Some...

If you were one of the idiots we read about they probably would deny. Over they probably will let you inWed, 24 Jun 2026 05:41:31 +0000I dont think this is a dr fauci/left wing establishment thread? I mean that is a REAL case of total power being used to silence fact spoken about these lunatics financing a weaponized vurus to be created and the subsequent release of said virus and the murder of 10s of millions of people. Come to think of it, it didnt even make the MSM🤣😅😂Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:41:28 +0000Ohhh, did that hit home? Living in denial, are we? Head in the sand? Don't read news daily did we, and register that Brits make the news weekly? Had you care to Read my first paragraph, I've got brit friends, but not the type who frequently make the headlines. Weekly.

Denying evidence of systematic killings of civilians, destroying everything, continuously displacing people already stranded and exhausted, shooting them while they move away unarmed, impeding basic aid to reach the area IS equal to intentionally cancel a population and destroying any chance for a future. Isn't just UN asserting that Israel is committing genocide. It's evident to everyone that isn't blinded by bias.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:39:51 +0000If the UK bank is using Faster Payments, and most are, then yes - effectively instant From a Google AI search: Processing Time: Money usually arrives within seconds, though it can occasionally take up to 2 hours.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:38:26 +0000https://aseannow.com/thailand-news/singer-jailed-2-years-for-fatal-drunk-driving-crash-in-bangkok-r2460/A Bangkok criminal court has sentenced Thai singer Tik Chiro, real name Manaswin or Sak Nantasen, to two years in prison without suspension after finding him guilty of drunk driving causing death. The ruling was handed down on 24 June 2026 by Min Buri Criminal Court following a fatal road crash that resulted in two deaths. The case has drawn significant public attention due to the involvement of a well-known entertainer and the severity of the outcome. Get today's headlines by email The court heard that the incident occurred at around 04:00 on 10 October 2024, when the defendant drove a Hyundai van into a Honda Click motorcycle on a bridge over Thep Rak Road, Sukaphiban 5, in O Ngoen, Sai Mai district, Bangkok. The collision killed 28-year-old Ms Teeraporn Sivapornpitak, also known as Meiji, at the scene. Her younger brother, 21-year-old Mr Jakkraphat Sivapornpitak, a second-year university student, suffered serious injuries after falling approximately 10 metres from the bridge and later died on 18 March 2025. Picture courtesy of Daily News According to court findings, the defendant had an alcohol level above the legal limit at the time of the crash. He was charged with drunk driving causing death, negligent driving causing death, and negligent driving causing property damage. During proceedings, he admitted the offences, which resulted in the original four-year sentence being reduced by half to two years. The court ordered no suspension of the sentence, citing the seriousness of the offence and the fact that the case involved two fatalities. His driving licence was also ordered to be confiscated. The Daily News reported that the court noted that while the defendant had paid 3.5 million baht in compensation to the victims’ relatives, civil damages had not yet been fully agreed. The victims’ families attended the hearing as co-plaintiffs, while the defendant appeared with his wife and legal team. Attorneys for the defence are reportedly preparing a bail application following the verdict.

But hopefully Thailand continues to move along with the rest of the world. Foreign women married to Thai men already have some advantages that foreign men married to Thai women do not have. If Thailand one day decides to equalise those rules and recognise long term married foreigners who have lived here for years, paid taxes, and contributed to society, that could become quite attractive. I am not saying it will happen, but countries change their policies over time.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:37:02 +0000Of course.

Develop a little thicker skin, it is a forum, and some of us are a bit more direct. I try to read a bit slower, so not to make the same mistake, and actually works .... sometimes 🙄Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:34:59 +0000Yes, some are corrupted but I see these writings as God related, and those who wrote them had to know how to write or God wouldn't choose them for something so important. This is God's word, and the most important writings we've ever had. It's easy to see by definition what fascism and communism mean. Many people do follow other men they believed in, from Mao, to Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Putin, Kim and Trump. Jesus is quite different than those narcissists. Can't put your trust in most people, as many are selfish and power oriented. Someone who promoted love and peace is different, with no other goals in mind.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:34:26 +0000Neither was I but I did have a personalized silver serviette ring. 😜Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:33:30 +0000
