Majority of Thais Doubt New Cabinet’s Ability to Cut Trump’s Tariffs
I agree. I love it here. But I think every nation should do absolutely everything in its power to avoid dealing with America, to avoid trading with America, and to avoid being subject to the whims of a completely insane circus clown. -

Do you know your wife/girlfriends body count?
Don't know, don't care. Given the number of women I have had, to get my knickers in a twist about my GF's body count would be hypocritical. I have had one virgin in my life, and prefer to forget the experience. -

Report Thai Temples Hold 410 Billion Baht Amid Embezzlement Probe
File photo for reference only Buddhist temples in Thailand have amassed an impressive 410 billion baht in savings across roughly 39,000 bank accounts, according to recent data from the Bank of Thailand and the National Office of Buddhism (NOB). This revelation comes amidst a high-profile embezzlement investigation involving former senior monks. The scrutiny of temple finances intensified after it was revealed that several monks were embroiled in a scandal involving a woman identified only as Golf. These monks have since left the monkhood following the scandal reaching headlines. Authorities suspect they may have misappropriated temple funds to finance their connection with the woman. Under NOB guidelines, temple funds are meant to be strictly used for purposes related to the temple, such as maintenance, education, and religious ceremonies. Abbots are explicitly forbidden from using these finances for personal benefits. To ensure transparency and proper governance, abbots can appoint a management committee to oversee financial decisions. The NOB is empowered to investigate any financial irregularities when complaints arise, scrutinising the accounts and expenditures of the temples involved. The current probe aims to ensure that the temple funds have been utilised appropriately, in line with the regulations. As the investigation unfolds, the public remains watchful, eager to see how the NOB will address any financial misconduct among its religious leaders. With such substantial sums at stake, the outcome of this investigation could have significant ramifications for how temple finances are managed and scrutinised in the future. The controversy underscores the need for rigorous oversight in managing temple assets, ensuring they serve the purpose for which they are intended—aiding religious activities and education, rather than personal enrichment.
