Senior judge suspended after molestation allegations on train
For this to happen on a moving train in a sleeper car means that she allowed it and did not make any sound or protest during the incident. With other people sleeping across under and next to her sleeper. She had many choices how to stop it. Instead this may be reported now 2 months later for some other reason. Perhaps she is trying to milk him for money and he refused. Vengeance is crazy when a Thai woman does not get what she wants. haha... I pity the judge. Whether the accusation is true or not. He is screwed now. -

Thai Khmer - is it alive anywhere in South Isaan?
Not sure about 'many'. A small minority, I would say, including the wife of one of my Khmer family's sons. Noone in the family can understand a word of it, despite its connections to Khmer. -

Reduce taxation by gifting.
The reality is most of Thai people including the poor workforce you mention is hustling doing multiple undeclared side businesses in order to get by, this is where the tax money is. Needless to mention the elite and high-so who are well structured to avoid an even bigger amount of potential tax. TRD is imo currently not in capacity (or not willing as you think so) to collect that. -

Swift endorsement turns more voters from harris than it attracts…
I doubt anyone believes you. If she had come out for Trump, you'd be singing her praise like she's the greatest since the Beatles and Elvis. But hey, we'll never know. But we do know Trump wanted her endorsement desperately because he gleefully accepted her fake AI endorsement. -

Brawl on Bangla Road, Transgender Woman Assaults Tourist
My boss is Indian-American and he always remarked how even the middle class in Indian all have servants. Appears to part of the culture. Come to think of it when I travel last month I was in line with an Indian girl and she had the most intense BO I ever smelled. This was inside an air conditioned airport mind you. Maybe the claims are true? I do hear it often but I've not been around many Indians. -

Ukrainian Woman and Friend Report Motorcycle Rental Scam in Pattaya
I said "run". She's down the cop shop making a complaint on behalf of her business. That's working. Maybe not illegally if she has a work permit. And maybe legally she owns 49% of the business. Who knows? I'll be setting a few more "Spot the deliberate mistake" puzzles so keep the corrections coming, Lou. Good job. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Not true, Churchill was a murderer before WWII. "Winston Churchill, secretary of state for war and air, estimated that without the RAF, somewhere between 25,000 British and 80,000 Indian troops would be needed to control Iraq. Reliance on the airforce promised to cut these numbers to just 4,000 and 10,000. Churchill's confidence was soon repaid. An uprising of more than 100,000 armed tribesmen against the British occupation swept through Iraq in the summer of 1920. In went the RAF. It flew missions totalling 4,008 hours, dropped 97 tons of bombs and fired 183,861 rounds for the loss of nine men killed, seven wounded and 11 aircraft destroyed behind rebel lines. The rebellion was thwarted, with nearly 9,000 Iraqis killed." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/apr/19/iraq.arts He pioneered carpet bombing in the middle East before exporting it to Europe. Churchill also advocated for the use of mustard gas against the Ottoman troops.- 1

Best UK Bank whilst living in Thailand
They are secure, and they work by magic, not connect to anything but your card, one can only presume, all info needed is somehow imbedded in your card and you can use any UK bank's card readers. Luckily for me when I needed a new reader, I found a friend who lent me his, until I got a new one.- 2
