British Man Arrested in Thailand for 20-Year-Old UK Murder Case
How likely is it that a man just shrugs his shoulders and says: "Ok, she ran away with someone else"? I also doubt that he worked at a Thai university "for 20 years", he might have done that briefly (common retirement age here was 60 until recently). Anyway, the main disappointment seems to be the lack of engagement of her family to push the search from the beginning. This would not be atypical for Thais, in my mind it is some sort of autism. If I'd disappear, my family would most probably stir up a lot of trouble. Thus this may be another example of how low some Thai think of the individual human life. -

Getting UK HMRC to recognise my UK State Pension as not receiving the yearly increases.
I had no idea that the UK Government taxed pensions. Surely people living here are not liable for UK tax anyway. -

Bangkok's Free Transport Initiative Sparks Criticism Amidst Haze Crisis
It’s the waste that upsets me. Burning the sugar cane to ease manual harvesting means lower prices for the sugar cane. If they harvested it mechanically, the increased cost would be compensated by higher prices. Stubble is actually a good compostable material as someone pointed out earlier. Again mechanised harvesting is better, takes investment by CP or cooperatives to enable it, but cuts down fertiliser cost and improves soil condition. These methods were adopted by lots of Western farmers, known for their thriftiness, which stopped the burning. I just can’t see why the Government and farmers just don’t understand. If Thais started doing it, surrounding countries would soon latch on. -

Bangkok's Free Transport Initiative Sparks Criticism Amidst Haze Crisis
With literally hundreds of articles, videos and comments, you still don't know that agricultural burning is the main culprit of the pm2.5 spike? The air looks good today, no traffic? When the winds turn again in a couple of days, you will see. Same thing over and over since 2014 (any link with the coup and its key players?), just getting worse each year. -

Are AN forums addictive?
I have had two death threats. The posters responsible were banned. I am somewhat bewildered by people who can get so worked up about a topic they would actually threaten to kill someone. They have to have some serious mental issues. -

Trump's call with Danish PM sparks alarm & International Tension
I was referring to the fifty thousand approx Greenlanders themselves, not their so-called govt. I wonder how they would react if the USA offered them. say, 5 million dollars each.
