Report Swede, Aussie Found Dead Hours Apart in Same Pattaya Condo
Funny, even now I'm likely in better shape than you've ever been. and from ages 17 to 62, in better shape than over 99$ of the population, along with being stronger. yes, I'm older now, but at least I was here, a place you'll never be. I don't have an inflated ego, as I've been humbled by time. Everyone gets old, but one thing you don't lose is your instinct, and that's something many learn the hard way when they underestimate some. -

Another brilliant idea from the Trump administration
The Mexicans are generally bringing Jarritos across the border, which uses "natural sugar". And it's getting more and more popular in the USA. Look it up... The world is more than Coke and Pepsi. Just ask the Thais. -

Economy Vietnam Pushes for Emerging Market Status with 2027 CCP Launch
Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Vietnam is poised to make a significant leap in its financial markets with plans to officially launch a central counterparty (CCP) mechanism by early 2027. This move is a crucial part of Vietnam’s strategy to be reclassified as an emerging market, potentially as soon as this year, and attract more foreign investment, according to the State Securities Commission. Since 2018, Vietnam has been on FTSE Russell's watchlist for market status upgrade. Currently classified as a frontier market, this status limits the investment Vietnam can attract from global funds, investors, and family offices. An upgrade to emerging market status could channel an estimated $5 billion (approximately 179 billion Thai Baht) into Vietnam's financial markets, as per World Bank forecasts. During a visit to Hanoi, FTSE Russell's global head of equity and multi-asset, Gerald Toledano, reviewed Vietnam’s progress. The government unveiled a four-phase plan to secure the upgrade, set to conclude in 2027. This plan includes finalising the legal framework and creating a subsidiary under the Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation to operate the CCP. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, in a meeting with Toledano, expressed hopes for FTSE's support in Vietnam's reclassification, as reported by Voice of Vietnam. Toledano praised Vietnam's strong market liquidity, noting it surpasses regional counterparts like Thailand and Singapore. Vietnam's financial markets, however, remain small in comparison to its neighbours. The main stock index recently held a market valuation of about $245 billion (around 8.8 trillion Thai Baht), starkly lower than Thailand’s $455 billion (about 16.3 trillion Thai Baht) and Singapore’s $490 billion (roughly 17.6 trillion Thai Baht), according to LSEG data. Introducing the CCP will provide a robust safety mechanism, acting as an intermediary between buyers and sellers in the equity market to ensure trades are completed even in the event of a default. Additional reforms have already been rolled out, including a new transaction settlement system and relaxing pre-funding requirements for foreign investors, addressing previous barriers to market reclassification. Investor confidence appears to be growing, with foreign purchases of Vietnamese stocks increasing following a trade agreement with the United States. The VN-Index, Vietnam’s benchmark, has climbed 7.22% this month alone. FTSE Russell is expected to release a review in September, and if Vietnam secures the upgrade, the reclassification process could take six to 12 months, aligning with the agency's guidelines. Previously, Vietnam aimed to achieve this upgrade by 2025. With these strategic advancements, the nation hopes to accelerate its timeline, enhancing its financial market influence on the global stage. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-07-18 -

I'll say this again, since you and you're romper room pals aren't getting it. A relationship that ends doesn't mean its a failure. It ca mean both have different future plans. You weren't there for any of them, so your comments mean absolute zero. That I dated a few lunatics, cheaters, greedy and abusive damaged from childhood wonders, puts me in the same boat as most everyone on earth. Again, not a failure as I escaped. Having children with 3 very disturbed women who were covert narcissists and with depression, is also not a failure, as I had children, all of whom are doing well, including the one here which will have a much better life in the US. I've told everyone here what happened, but a select few, you and your buddies here, who are all the same in thinking, somehow twist this around, putting the blame on me, yet it's I who got custody of all of them ,including this one soon. Again, not a failure but a win, as my children all did well with me as their primary parent. You and a couple other freaks here saying I need to get a life, when you and those other freaks are neither married or had children, at least as far as you've said. If you haven't noticed just how many people hate you here, you're pathetically blind. Take a gander at your responses in your replies. Your other buddies also of the same cloth, still can't fathom what a real man is, as they're far behind in that regard. One, giving advice to me about marriage and women, rapes women when they're "barely conscious", a scumbag offense he should be still in prison for now. No children, yet he gives me advice when my children are again, all doing well, with me as their primary caretaker. The other two are just here to add to the drama, not fully understanding just how stupid they appear to others here, 3 of which I've talked to on the phone just today. We all had a good laugh, and one of them is someone you think agrees with you. It's called a method to our madness, but we're not really mad. But you few definitely are.
