3 foreigners caught in Phuket for illegal motorcycle modifications
Yet another news report involving a Frenchman with a decidedly non-French name. The eldest daughter of the Catholic Church must be in dire straits, no Pierre's or Marcel's or Jean-Paul's left anymore, lol. -

Trump’s mad, mad, mad, mad world—now with extra madness
Picture courtesy of CNN by Bob Scott It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad, world, about to get a whole lot madder under newly elected United States President Donald Trump. The 78 year old alleged leader of the free world, not content with stirring a hornet’s nest by saying he plans to take over Greenland and make Canada a US state, yesterday, February 5, announced plans to build real estate on top of the blood and bones of the slaughtered Palestine men, women and child victims of Israel’s ethnic cleansing programme. Trump unveiled his Gaza Strip plans, which he intends to brand the “Riviera of the Middle East,” during an Oval Office briefing at the White House. He was joined by Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been labelled a “war criminal” by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his role in the genocide of Palestinians. “The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. “Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out and create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. “We’ll do a real job. Do something different. Just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to be the same way it has for 100 years.” But that’s not all. Trump insists that Egypt, Jordan, and other Middle-Eastern countries take in and house the 1.8 million homeless or displaced Palestinian people as he begins his rebuilding programme. Unsurprisingly, the international community roundly condemned Trump’s criminally crass comments. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American member of the US Congress, accused Trump of “openly calling for ethnic cleansing,” on X (formerly Twitter). Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas strongly rejected any plans to displace Palestinians from Gaza. “These calls represent a serious violation of international law. Peace and stability will not be achieved in the region without establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital on the borders of 1967, based on the two-state solution.” US Senator Chris Murphy took to X to say Trump had lost his mind. “He’s totally lost it. A US invasion of Gaza would lead to the slaughter of thousands of US troops and decades of war in the Middle East. It’s like a bad, sick joke.” US Senator Chris Van Hollen added that what Trump plans to do is tantamount to ethnic cleansing. “Trump’s proposal to push two million Palestinians out of Gaza and take ‘ownership’ by force, if necessary, is simply ethnic cleansing by another name. This declaration will give ammunition to Iran and other adversaries while undermining our Arab partners in the region.” Egypt’s foreign minister rejected the proposal, insisting that Gaza must be rebuilt without the displacement of Palestinians. He was joined by a chorus of world leaders who reaffirmed their support for a two-state solution in the region. Hamas, currently engaged in a fresh round of ceasefire negotiations with Israel, dismissed the plans as “absurd” and “hostile.” UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stopped short of condemning Trump’s controversial proposal but reiterated Britain’s commitment to a two-state solution and emphasised the importance of maintaining the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza. “They must be allowed home, they must be allowed to rebuild, and we should be with them in that rebuild on the way to a two-state solution.” France’s foreign ministry issued a statement reaffirming its opposition to “any forced displacement of the Palestinian population of Gaza” and insisting that no third party should control the territory. It stressed that a two-state solution is “the only path to guaranteeing lasting peace” for both Israelis and Palestinians. In Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov asserted that a resolution in the Middle East can only be achieved through the implementation of a two-state solution. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry declared its rejection of “any attempts to displace the Palestinians from their land” and reiterated that it would not establish ties with Israel without the creation of a Palestinian state. Both China and Australia reaffirmed their support for a two-state solution. Turkey’s foreign minister warned that any plans excluding Palestinians from the equation would only fuel further conflict. Evidence, if it was ever needed, that Trump has flown over the “Cuckoo’s Nest” in disregarding international law, and that he is the biggest danger to world peace, not Russian leader Vladamir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping or the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Hosseini Khamenei. Trump, a convicted felon, a sex offender, and a former associate of human trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, may soon add “war criminal” to his growing list of transgressions if he pursues the ethnic cleansing of what remains of Palestine. Forced displacement is a war crime. In the 1963 American comedy It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, a chaotic chase unfolds as a motley crew of strangers scrambles to claim a suitcase full of stolen cash. In the 2025 remake… oh, wait. It’s not a comedy. It’s all too real. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-02-06 -

If you are retired, does it bother you that you will never be a Thai Permanent Resident?
What about if the UK or Thailadn did not allow dual citizenship.... So let's say you wanted to become a Thai citizen, but lost your UK citizenship. I doubt anyone would become a Thai citizen in that case. -
