Thai women
I've asked my gf not to wear makeup, she looks great without, a natural beauty but she tells me that she doesn't feel confident in public without wearing at least lipstick and face cream..... blush I think it's called. She's perfect without all that fake, crap, cosmetic stuff, not a tattoo or piercings. It could be due to her coming from a very poor family, she may have wanted a tat or piercings in the past, most girls do but she never had any money. She never owned any gold before we met, it was the first thing I bought for her when her birthday came around. -

Royal Thai Embassy Vientiane - availability for visa appointments
I don't know how the agents do it, but I would guess customers provide their passport details in advance, and they book "for them" online, as slots become available. I have also seen threads reporting on-site agent-service at consulate gates on short-notice. This would not preclude having to show up at the consulate yourself for processing. Though that was not needed at some consulates in years past, it has been required everywhere for awhile, now. -

Thailand Cuts Interest Rate to 2.25% Amid Economic Pressure File photo for reference only In a pivotal move, the Bank of Thailand's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has slashed the key policy rate by 25 basis points, bringing it down to 2.25% effective immediately. This marks the first reduction since May 2020, reversing an increase to 2.5% just last September. The decision, backed by a 5:2 vote, arrives as Thailand grapples with escalating demands from both the government and private sectors to lessen borrowing costs and invigorate a sluggish economy.

Must Read Thailand's Central Bank Cuts Interest Rate to Boost Economic Growth
Thailand Cuts Interest Rate to 2.25% Amid Economic Pressure In a pivotal move, the Bank of Thailand's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has slashed the key policy rate by 25 basis points, bringing it down to 2.25% effective immediately. This marks the first reduction since May 2020, reversing an increase to 2.5% just last September. The decision, backed by a 5:2 vote, arrives as Thailand grapples with escalating demands from both the government and private sectors to lessen borrowing costs and invigorate a sluggish economy. MPC director Sakkapop Panyanukul explained that the majority of the committee believes this reduction will help alleviate debt burdens while still aligning with the country's aim of keeping household debt manageable amidst slow credit growth. The cut is deemed compatible with the economic potential, reflecting a cautious optimism for future growth. However, the vote was not unanimous. Two members argued that maintaining a 2.5% rate better corresponds with current economic conditions and projected inflation, suggesting it would provide a buffer against uncertain economic challenges ahead. Looking forward, Thailand's economy is expected to expand at modest rates of 2.7% this year and 2.9% next year. Growth is predominantly fuelled by tourism and increased domestic consumption, with a boost anticipated from government stimulus measures and robust export performance, especially in electronics. Inflation forecasts suggest rates of 0.5% this year and 1.2% next year, with a potential rise in food and energy prices looming. Meanwhile, the central bank is encouraging financial institutions to support debtors through refinancing, aiming to ease financial pressures locally. This bold rate cut underscores the urgent need to stimulate economic activity, amid a landscape of cautious optimism mixed with lingering uncertainties. File photo for reference only -- 2024-10-16 -

Thai worker killed by leftover ammunition in Israeli orchard
I examined the link by the American judge in the case. There were orders issued on January 26th, for Israel not to commit genocide in Gaza.. Here is the same judge reading the order: Her appearance on BBC Hardtalk which you posted was a clarification concerning the use of "plausible" by the ICJ and by the world press. For the Court, the issue of plausibility concerned first, the standing of South Africa to make the case, and second, that the Palestinians had a plausible right to be protected from genocide. She said that they then proceeded to look at the facts. She said that the press was speaking of "a plausible case of genocide", while the Court "emphasized in the order that there was a risk of irreparable harm to the Palestinian right to be protected from genocide." This order concerned provisional measures, while the final decision will probably take a few years to be issued. The complete session can be seen here: -

Putin wants new world order
Imo US foreign policy since WW2 has left a lot to be desired but let's not pretend Russia's aka the Soviet Union was any better. The Soviet Union was directly responsible for the 'Cold War' in Europe amongst other things. -
