Lisa Blackpink to Perform in Bangkok for Amazing Thailand Countdown 2025
Could be totally off topic but I hate the way at Thai restaurants and at resorts they love to play the blandest western songs - Coldplay Maroon 5 or covers of the blandest 70's and 80's music. Play thai music. Or better still nothing. In Koh Chang at lovely beach resort by the sea but at breakfast it's covers of songs that sucked in the first place. At dinner it is a filipino band playing Simply the Best and Living on a Prayer. I mean they played it ok but please. No thanks. -

Lisa Blackpink to Perform in Bangkok for Amazing Thailand Countdown 2025
Why would I care about a mega star I have never heard of? 🤣 I completely agree... You shouldn't... But its not 'your caring of the 'global mega star' that I'm critiquing... Its the comments being made about them... Such as "never heard of her" in reference to Lisa from Black Pink (and then other global mega stars mentioned).... as if the ignorance of someone who's clearly out of touch has any relevance whatsoever... Lisa is a Global Mega star, has headlined global events, reached Billboard No.1 etc... then someone says... "Never heard of her" .... which, examples not only ignorance, but also the stupidity of someone who believes their knowledge base is the metric for whether someone is classified as a global star or not. She [Lisa] is headlining NYE because she is such a huge star..... thats the story here. Then we have guys stating.... never heard of her.... its stupid to even make such a comment. Its as Dumb as a teenager posting on a forum... "Paul McCartney - never heard of him"... instead of first double checking before they put finger to keyboard. -

FTI calls for fair e-commerce platform playing field
The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) is urging the government to enforce stricter regulations on foreign e-commerce platforms and control the influx of low-cost products into Thailand. This call to action comes after a recent survey revealed that 35.1% of local entrepreneurs experienced a decline in sales due to inexpensive imports sold online. Vice-Chairman of the FTI, Peekthong Thongyai spoke on the shift in product trends, and areas with a higher degree of impact from the competition. “The impact is clearly seen in garments, furniture, plastic products, and packaging.” The survey, which included 175 entrepreneurs and FTI members, also found that 47.4% of respondents had not yet experienced a drop in sales, while 17.5% reported an increase. Despite these mixed results, a significant portion of respondents (67.4%) advocated for the government to ensure e-commerce platforms are registered as legal entities, facilitating value-added tax collection. Additional recommendations include enforcing consumer protection laws and simplifying the complaint process for substandard products (46.9%). Respondents also suggested that e-commerce platforms should be required to display state certification for products meeting safety standards (45.1%) and called for the inspection of online financial transactions (26.3%). In response to these concerns, the Industry Ministry has directed the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) to collaborate with the Customs Department to inspect the quality of imported goods, particularly those under TISI’s supervision. This initiative aims to curb the entry of low-cost, substandard products into the market. Despite these efforts, the FTI notes that many low-quality items continue to be imported into Thailand. The federation has previously expressed concerns about the entry of Chinese online retailer Temu, which draws in customers with its low prices. The FTI attributes Temu’s competitive pricing to lower operating costs in China, including cheaper energy and wages compared to Thailand. The federation fears that the increasing competition from such platforms could lead to more local factories shutting down, reported Bangkok Post.

SSA COLA for 2025-2.5%
Of course not. But that’s beside the point. Congress decided to assure that the monthly benefit would be adjusted for inflation, and yet that’s not happening. The CPI numbers haven’t kept up with real inflation for years. Anyway, there really are people who actually depend on that money to survive. I’m not sure how they do it, but I think it’s a good percentage of retirees. -

Robert Jenrick Calls for Whole Life Sentences for Grooming Gangs
Nope. 3 months on and the CPS are still hoping the story will disappear. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manchester-airport-cctv-violence-cps-30147695 That's why Reform are trying to pressure them into it. Interesting that the FaceBook posters and anti immigration protesters were charged, convicted and sentenced within a week. 2 tier justice could not be any clearer. -
