Apart from Thais working in the tourism sector, does anyone actually want Russians here?
Get over it. If you consider yourself more special than Russians. Just title your post: "I Hate Russians." Then we can get over the hypocrisy of, on the one hand, braying that we must be "tolerant" of all others lest they "trigger" us and cause us mental discomfort, and on the other, displaying our ethnocentrism, cultural superiority, and exceptionalism by throwing shade at an ethnicity and culture that about 2/3 of this community personally depise. Oh the cosmic, comic irony of it all. -

Wise transfer delayed
I have been using WISE to transfer money from my CHASE account to my Bangkok Bank and other Thai banks. Usually the transfer is done in minutes. Transfer on Saturday said it would take 3 days, now it says 6 days. Has anyone had a problem with WISE doing this? I am out of Thailand at the present and have time sensitive expenses to be paid. -

Syrian government falls in stunning end to 50-year rule of Assad family
This interview with a former UK diplomat, who seems to be well informed on the background to the situation in the region, throws some light on how the recent blitzkrieg occurred. And likely complications that will be at play. Nothing is as simple as assumed. https://www.youtube.com/live/UX2X9KT9Xmg -

Thailand Birth Rate Nosedives: 81% Drop Surpasses Japan
When a young Bangkokian sees the real availability of a middle class lifestyle and then thinks "I could opt for that, or have kids and remain in relative poverty for the rest of my life", it's pretty much a no brainer.- 1

Badenoch Criticizes Starmer's McDonald’s Joke, Citing Double Standards
She has on a number of occasions demonstrated an inability to accept criticism or simply let it go. I actually think she’s a ‘glass cliff’ candidate for the job of Tory leader, she’ll remain in place until the Tories sort themselves out with a real leader with real policies. -

Syrian government falls in stunning end to 50-year rule of Assad family
All the gold that Gaddafi had, or perhaps your MSM propaganda channels didn't cover that part of the illegal invasion, 3000-4000 tonnes, worth billions, looted by the UK, US , French and other allies, but that's ok as it was all about human rights yeah? -

People who support Cashless Society
It’s remarkable how much can be inferred just from our internet activity, ATM use, travel patterns etc... From a broader perspective, there are alternative solutions like cryptocurrencies and crypto-cards, though these introduce an entirely separate debate - one centred on the degree to which governments might permit such decentralised systems (a separate discussion for another time). As the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens. Yet, transitions like these inevitably bring about a great deal of uncertainty - a challenge in itself, more so for some older folk perhaps (and once again a separate discussion for another time). Change, by its nature, is rarely welcomed. I fully understand the unease it brings, particularly when it raises legitimate concerns about privacy and surveillance. Your point about tracking is valid - it's a pressing issue, though, in many respects, facial recognition technology has already set a precedent for how little control we truly have in the near future. Payment systems, then, are but a small piece of this much larger issue. Thus, with that said, I’ve observed a significant amount of opposition to cashless payment systems in various discussions on this forum. Many of the arguments are poorly reasoned, often bordering on paranoid delusion. At times, they appear to mask deeper frustrations, perhaps resentment towards younger generations who are quick to embrace technologies like mobile payments, or even a broader distaste for the younger demographic itself.
