New Andaman Marine Ring to Slash Phuket-Krabi Travel by 90 Minutes
The current 145-kilometre road journey between Krabi and Phuket airports takes three and a half hours. That must be on a bicycle. Phuket Airport to Krabi, via the short cut near Ao Luk is about one hour and a half, two hours if raining heavily. -

Taylor Swift…This Is Not A Spoof
Trump is now saying Taylor Swift will pay a price for her endorsement of Harris in the marketplace, while Musk is offering to make a baby with her in response to the childless cat lady signoff. AFAIK Truth Social is heading towards worthless, X ( Twitter ) has lost 50% of its value since Musk took over. It's difficult to know who is creepier. -

Springfield, Ohio man reported Haitian migrants snatching geese out of park 2 weeks ago
And the Snopes report above provided detail on how the Haitians ended up settling in Springfield, and that most are legal residents under a special federal program, not illegals as some Republicans have claimed. Background "Since 2020, Springfield, Ohio, has seen a dramatic rise in immigrants from Haiti. City officials estimate, according to The New York Times, that as many as 20,000 Haitians had arrived in the small town in 2024 since the onset of the pandemic. Thanks to the availability of jobs, Springfield became a hot spot for Haitian immigrants around that time, according to reporting in NPR. According to The New York Times, the arrival of several manufacturing plants or corporations between 2017 and 2020 created a surplus of jobs. A lack of local labor created a deficit of workers, and word spread among the Haitian community that work could be found in the town, per the Times: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cats-ducks-haitians-springfield/ -

Splitting my time between Thailand & my originating country....
Do not understand your posts The OP wants to spend 6/6 split Thailand (continuous) and home country. Your non O-A detail is off topic. Non O-A nothing to do with this thread. Worst option for the OP. -

Springfield, Ohio man reported Haitian migrants snatching geese out of park 2 weeks ago
Exactly: Per CBS News' report: "DeWine defended the thousands of Haitian migrants who are living in Springfield, but noted there are challenges that come with 15,000 migrants settling in city with a population of less than 60,000 in the last couple of years. "These Haitians came in here to work because there were jobs, and they filled a lot of jobs. And if you talk to employers, they've done a very, very good job and they work very, very hard," he said. ... The other challenge, he said, is teaching the new arrivals how to drive according to U.S. laws. He said Ohio has a loophole that allows drivers over 18 to pass a test to obtain a license without needing training." [which is the reason for state's forthcoming added state trooper support]. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mike-dewine-haitian-migrants-pets-springfield-trump/- 1

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Wall Street Journal is now quoting Andriy "my lifes mission is to lead the white race against the jews" Biletskiy like its nothing. Bodes well for the future of Ukraine. Literally the first sentence on his Wikipedia political views section not even some deep kept secret.How much Zelensky is really in charge is an open question too. Based on this article, and taken at face value - I am more convinced than ever that he's a dead man if he even casually mentions negotiations. He would be strung up and the military would take over. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andriy_Biletsky#Political_views -

Rescue worker fulfills Thai girl's dream of trying KFC
I was in McDonald's eating one day. Saw an older thai gentleman (75+) looking at the menu. Then inside his wallet counting his money. It appeared he didn't eat this kind of food before as he looked at the menu for a long time kind of confused. Clearly, he didn't have enough money as he began to leave. I stopped him before he left and asked one of the staff to help translate for me. I told him that my grandfather used to take me to McDonald's when I was young. And that I would like to buy him lunch. Whatever he wanted. After some more talking he said he never had McDonald's before. And finally accepted. I waited for him to get his food and wished him a good day. -

PM Paetongtarn faces ethics probe over mini-heart gesture
You're right it is a stretch, but so was the reasoning for disbanding the Move Forward Party. -

PM Paetongtarn faces ethics probe over mini-heart gesture
I've seen plenty of adults do it but never children and rarely teenagers. Presumably the rot hadn't set in at that age.- 1

I hope justice is served. She needs to pay for any scratches to his pickup. -

Splitting my time between Thailand & my originating country....
When I got my O-A it was not that easy. I had to get criminal background checks (took weeks) and go in for fingerprinting. I also had to see some quack doctor I picked out of the phone book to do the routine visa health form (syphilis, etc) who insisted on a complete blood work battery, medical history and a physical requiring multiple visits before he would sign the simple visa form because I was a "new patient". If I had to pay that out of pocket it would not be worth getting the O-A. He also billed my insurance for over $2k+ USD before we were one and done. I finally got the form signed though. It was a two or three month process end to end altogether for everything. -

Nice, but I doubt that any road assistance insurance will go there to help you out. 😉 -

Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
You mean moving to get a job and having families isn't compatible with the American way of life? You have a really low opinion of Americans.
