Is This A Good Deal?
Well.... I didn't reference Italian cars, or French cars, or Russian cars, or Spanish cars, or American cars, or British cars. Is there a reason you specifically wanted me to reference Japanese cars? -

Israelis in Thailand on Alert After Security Warning
Not true . The civilian casualty rate in the Gaza war is much less than in other wars . Normally the civilian casualty rate in wars is about 90 % and in the Gaza war the civilian casualty rate is about 50 % , Israel did extremely well keeping the civilian casualty rate so low, considering Hamas used Human shields throughout the war -

Thaksin to Join Pheu Thai Workshop as 'Expert Guest'
Picture courtesy: Thai Rath Thaksin Shinawatra, Thailand's ex-Prime Minister, will participate as an "invited expert" at a Pheu Thai Party seminar in Hua Hin next month, confirmed Pheu Thai Secretary-General Sorawong Thienthong. Despite a court ban preventing him from holding office, Thaksin's business and governance expertise remains influential within his faction. Reflecting his continuing sway, Thaksin recently supported Pheu Thai candidate campaigns, including in Udon Thani, fuelling ongoing allegations of his undue influence in Thai politics. His daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, leads Pheu Thai, a party critics allege Thaksin manipulates from the sidelines. Legal actions have targeted Thaksin for allegedly interfering in internal Pheu Thai affairs, with lawsuits filed by activists aiming to enforce penalties. His clandestine political manoeuvring is notable, particularly following the ousting of former PM Srettha Thavisin last August, reportedly organising secret coalition meetings at his residence. Amidst controversy, during his prior hospital stay, Thaksin purportedly impacted strategic party decisions, influencing the formation of the Pheu Thai-led coalition government, cabinet assignments, and power plays against opposition parties. His alleged behind-the-scenes role was facilitated by Phumtham Wechayachai, now serving as Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister. Thaksin's role as an "invited expert" at the upcoming Pheu Thai workshop underscores his enduring prominence and raises questions about his influence. Despite legal restrictions, his engagement reflects a complex legacy of control within Pheu Thai and broader Thai politics. The seminar's participants and observers alike will focus on Thaksin's contributions, which could further ignite debate over his persistent political presence and sway, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2024-11-15 -

Racism or "just" bad behavior at Pattaya City Hospital?
Something similar happened to me about 20 years ago. A few days before Christmas I was at the local post office in Korat to send a few letters to my country. I took a queue number and joined the people before me. A "woman" came into the post office and took also a queue number, but instead of joining the queue she went in front of me and started her racist tirade: "You are a FOREIGNER and you need to let the THAI people go first", "You are a guest in our country and you need to learn a little bit of humbleness", etc... The officer at the post office had watched this and came from behind his desk with 2 other man. They took the woman up, "escorted" her the the outside, and told her to go to an other post office as people like her were not welcome at that post office. When I got to the desk, the officer excused himself for the behavior of that woman and wished me a happy Christmas. There are good and bad Thai people. Sometimes, you meet one of these bad apples.- 1

Ok, delete a 0. Why no Japanese car reference? Why did you originally quote 60k for Mercedes. -
