Airconditioning in bars

Airconditioning in bars

georgegeorgia · 23 hours ago23 hr

May I ask this in the Pattaya forum , because I believe Bangkok may be different Air conditioned bars , i am observing they get less customers, do you believe I'm correct ? I had a farang recently who told me that particular bar failed as it had glass windows and was air conditioned, I was absolutely and what's the word.... gobsmacked! Does it make you consider stepping in perhaps some hesitation ? and opening the glass doors to go in , do you prefer open bars and why ? I didn't notice

Ladyboy bars

Why ..please tell , why are the ladyboy bars in straight bar areas and not in the gay precincts? Would they not do good business in the "gay precinct" areas of Pattaya ?

Sort Out My Mac Mini..PLEASE.!

leverito · Monday at 08:43 AM2 days

Hello AN family! I'm going to be honest with you — I'm a bit tired and frustrated at this point, so I'm turning to this community with real hope! I have a Mac mini that needs to be properly connected to a monitor, and what sounds like a simple task has turned into quite an adventure. I've already welcomed several "specialists" from Tukom and nearby shops into my home — lovely people, but unfortunately none of them managed to finish the job properly. The monitor works, yes — but the picture qual

Trump Accidentally Admits to Epic Iran Blunder as War Takes Worse Turn

Alan Zweibel · yesterday at 03:51 AM1 day

Donald Trump’s war on Iran appears to be a fiasco, and speaking to reporters, he made a surprising claim: He insisted no one anticipated that Iran would attack other countries in an effort to widen the war. But this was indeed widely expected, and amusingly, in saying that, Trump revealed that he didn’t anticipate it. That’s a striking admission about his own lack of foresight. https://newrepublic.com/article/208082/trump-accidentally-admits-epic-iran-blunder-war-takes-worse-turn Trump said no

Bomb Iran’s oil hub? Stark warning from geo expert

bannork · 18 hours ago18 hr

Tim Marshall, author of the global bestseller Prisoners of Geography, has spent years explaining how geography shapes world power. In his analysis of the escalating tensions around Iran and the Persian Gulf, he argues the outcome of any conflict could hinge on a narrow maritime chokepoint and a handful of strategic islands. At the heart of the drama lies the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most crucial shipping lanes on Earth. Roughly 34 kilometers wide, the strait funnels vast amounts of global e

Trump’s deployment of ground troops to Middle East confirmed

bannork · 16 hours ago16 hr

The United States has confirmed the deployment of ground troops to the Middle East after Iran sent back the ‘excessive’ demands of Donald Trump’s peace plan. The Pentagon confirmed to The Independent on Wednesday that some elements of the 82nd Airborne Division, some division enablers and the 1st Brigade Combat Team will be deploying to the region. The confirmation came as Iranian officials said they had received a proposal to end the war from the US and deemed it ‘maximalist’ and unacceptable.

Fuel shock threatens Thai fishing shutdown

bannork · 19 minutes ago19 min

SAMUT SAKHON, Thailand — Thailand’s vast fishing industry is edging towards paralysis as soaring diesel prices — driven by the escalating U.S.–Israeli war with Iran — hammer operating costs and force boats to remain in port. At Samut Sakhon, the country’s largest fishing hub on the Gulf of Thailand, rows of trawlers now sit idle. Industry leaders warn the fleet could grind almost entirely to a halt within days unless the government intervenes. Boats Already Docked as Costs Spiral More than half

Nationalism or Onanism: Which does us more harm?

GammaGlobulin · 58 minutes ago58 min

Dear Folks, When we are very young, Society teaches us that: Nationalism is Good. Onanism is Bad. . We are told that saluting the flag is good. But, conflictingly, proper respect for one’s flagpole is somehow bad. In some societies, Nationalism is even glorified. Need we mention any names? So, during this particularly stressful period, when we are about to enter WW3, or indeed… Have probably already begun WW3… Which is more harmful to our world? Nationalism Onanism Capitalism Communi

A Free $1,000 To Blow on Subscription Services, How Would You Do It?

123Stodg · 9 hours ago9 hr

If someone handed you a free $1000 and said you could only spend it on online subscription services for the next year, how would you use it? There are so many options now across streaming, AI tools, news, productivity, and creative software that it’s easy to lose track of what actually adds value. I’m curious what people here consider “worth it” versus what feels optional or overrated. Here’s how I’d probably allocate mine: | Adobe Photoshop | Visual Design & Editing | ~$240 | | The Econo

Who is the man who sold our world?

GammaGlobulin · 11 hours ago11 hr

Dear Folks, Conspiracy Theories aside, who, =really=, is the man who sold our world? Where is Bowie, these days, when we need him most? Do you have faith? Faith in our leadership? If not, then... Why not? Better listen to this, from times gone by, when the world made more sense... And, to any young people who might be reading my words....I say.... Eat your little hearts out, since....those days, long gone, were so much better... Just listen the lyrics of Deep Purple..... The Vietnam
