British Influencer's Buddha Tattoo Sparks Thai Cultural Debate - video
Photo by Emily Srichala Emily Srichala, a British social media influencer married to a Thai tattoo artist, has recently caused a stir in Thailand over a tattoo depicting the image of Lord Buddha on her arm. Srichala, who is actively studying Buddhist practices, recently received a message claiming she broke Thai laws by having the tattoo and sharing it online, leading to a storm of discussion among Thai netizens. In response to the message, which accused her of cultural disrespect, Emily posted a video on Facebook and TikTok asking for opinions from Thai citizens. She explained that the tattoo, crafted by her husband, is a piece of art on her upper arm—not on the lower body, where Buddhist images are traditionally discouraged. The issue has divided opinions in Thailand. Some Thais see the tattoo as an expression of art and individuality, while others view it as disrespectful to the Buddhist culture. Critics argue that the tattoo's location on the body does not align with cultural norms, whereas supporters insist intention and respect matter more than placement. In the wake of the debate, lawyer Kerdphol Kaewkerd confirmed that Srichala's tattoo is legally permissible in Thailand, clarifying that she broke no laws despite the backlash. The ongoing conversation highlights the cultural sensitivity regarding religious symbols and the varying interpretations of respectfulness in a globalised world, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-24 -

Attorney General Reveals Epstein Client List Under Review Amid Trump’s Directive
You just couldnt help it aye. You couldnt help yourself could you, had to make it about Trump, you got the SDT bad. I dont think you will ever recover from it. I know rational thinking goes out the window with you guys, but have you ever stopped to actually think logically about this. Given the scrutiny Trump is under 24/7, do you think for 1 second if there was any dirt on him it would have been exposed instantly, they've tried everything to stop him, if there were girls out there he'd been with the media would have been all over it. I am sure Trjmpnhas been at parties of Epsteins, they are part of the rich crew, they all mix together, there isn't any thing wrong with association, until Epstein's conviction that is. I womd bet money on any there not being any dodgy Trump ties, remember, he is tee total too, no drink or drugs and the bad choices that can go with them. I think many other celebs and rich people are bricking it, and for good reason, I didn't see any on Team Biden trying to get it released. -

Why on earth would you even consider paying tax in Thailand?
I have a Thai woman and we've already discussed this, if there ever comes a time for me to pay taxes here in Thailand we will be out of the country for more than 6 months a year. There is no way I will even pay a thousand baht in taxes here for the rest of my life. -
