Traffic police crack down on dangerous tourist habits on Koh Larn

Followers

June 17, 20241 yr

So now the cops are enforcing helmet wearing and driver license ownership

this begs the question - what were they doing before?

history is a great predictor - they will do it for a month and then return to their standard practice of do nothing

what you get in a status quo traditional lazy society where minimal effort is expected and on display

it is why standards are so low in thailand and never show signs of incremental improvement

bring on the air pollution season….i have nice itinerary scheduled

Making a 90 day report first time in a few years.

giddyup · 20 hours ago20 hr

I've been doing online 90 day reports for a few years, but because I'm about to get a new passport I believe the next 90 day has to be done in person. The last time I did a report at Jomtien it was only necessary to present your passport, now I believe there are a couple of forms to fill out. I have been at the same address for 16 years, do I still have to fill out a TM30?

Joe Kent, Counterterrorism official in Trump Administration, resigns.

Alan Zweibel · 16 hours ago16 hr

Joe Kent, one of the United States’ top counterterrorism officials, announced his resignation on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the Iran war and what he said was Israel’s influence over the Trump administration’s policies. Here is his resignation letter in full. https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/dea3cbf97dbfb39c/1/output-1.png https://archive.ph/R2vUr I may not like his principles, but at least unlike most rightwingers who post here, he doesn't believe that MAGA is Trump an

If this is not AI, can an American explain why this war criminal is adored by the USA Congress. It's very very strange, like their job depends on it.

Trump Snaps At Reporter As War Questions Intensify A heated exchange between Donald Trump and a reporter aboard Air Force One has gone viral, underscoring growing pressure on the president over the expanding war with Iran. During a press gaggle, a female journalist asked Trump to explain the deployment of 5,000 U.S. Marines and sailors to the region — a question that appeared to trigger an immediate and sharp reaction. “You’re a very obnoxious person,” Trump shot back, before cutting her off

Department of Energy Chief Apologizes, Confirms 101 Days of Fuel Reserves

cynic1 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News - Discussion

Totally agree. Australia under the leadership of the two muppets being Prime Minister Albanese and the Energy minister Chris Bowen in this fuel crisis means we are in deep sh.t. Give you an example for ADO Diesel today Australia can pay around $2.90 per litre. Plus the rural areas in some areas have now no ADO Yet farmers and trucks only use ADO. Ethanol/unleaded say 91 in my area is at about $2.30. So when it comes to Thailand your Thailand’s Department of Energy Business who are trying to keep ADO under 33B that's fantastic for Thailand 33B equates to $1.44 Au Wow Here ADO as said is selling at about $2.90. I wish Australia had your petrol pricing system.

This tells a different story. CNN Data Guru Reports War in Iran ‘Tremendously Popular’ With Trump’s MAGA Base: ‘Tucker Carlson Be Darned’Some right-wing media figures have bashed President Donald Trump’s war against Iran, but CNN data guru Harry Enten said don’t let them fool you into believing that’s how most Make America Great Again voters feel. Enten on Tuesday morning reported the polling shows MAGA overwhelmingly backs Operation Epic Fury. “Look at this! Nearly 9 in 10, 89% approve of the U.S. military action in Iran. That is the MAGA GOP base,” Enten said during a segment on CNN News Central. “Just 9% disapprove of it. This is tremendously popular among the Republican base.” His data came from recent NBC and CNN polls.

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · 4 hours ago4 hr

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way? Best regards, Gamma

Will Trump back down?

GammaGlobulin · 14 hours ago14 hr

Dear Folks, I have absolutely no idea how to create a “poll”, on TV. However, be that as it may be, what is your opinion? Will Trump back down? Deep in his big heart, Trump knows that the right move, given the reality of his situation, is to finally step down from his high-horse, and just….BACK DOWN. Do you think he is capable for doing so? Yes? No? IMHO, the answer is a definite YES. Trump is easily capable of pragmatically backing down, and getting out of Iran, while the getting is goo

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi
