How much sin sod for 28 yo single mom of 2 Bangkok suburb (Rangsit)
I think none of us understand Thai customs, I think most Thais do also not understand Thai customs, the reason being there is such a huge class difference in Thailand and so many different customs for each class. During my wedding feast, the ex-vice-prime minister made a toast at the hotel reception, and a photo of him, my wife, and I was in the Bangkok Post Society section, I think that is not standard, it had nothing at all to do with me, so I am not claiming anything, I am merely stating a point about Thailand and its class system. It is an observation. People from Issan like to eat fried crickets etc, I asked a brother-in-law who was born and schooled in Bangkok if he ate them and he said no chance, I would not eat such food, I am not from upcountry. They had chauffeurs, servants, the lot, wealthy, and looked down on the more uneducated Thais, that made no difference to me as my wife and I were already living in the UK and we were only in Thailand for our wedding so what they did in Thailand had no bearing on our lives in England. A friend was talking to me a couple of years ago and he mentioned how his Thai wife crouched down on her heels down to the floor and ate, he said you know, in the manner Thais eat, I told him I have never seen any Thais eat that way, they use a spoon/knife/fork and table and chairs just like we farangs do. I found out she came from a small village in Isaan, with so many different standards and ways of life in Thailand, one group never mixes with the other. In my experience most farangs I have come across mix only with the poor Thais and for some reason most of the women are from Isaan. Any farang who claims to know about Thailand and its culture is kidding themselves, they also generally mix with the same group or class and so do have many years of experience as they claim but in one level of Thailand, the level they are living at. I have been living in Thailand for two years now although I am visiting the UK for a month at the moment. You mentioned money and my lack of understanding of it, I don't need to know about Thai money whatever that means in this context, I send bank transfers to my Thai bank account when I need to, and my wealth, and property are all safe in the UK in my name and under my control. We never know when temporary year-by-year visitors like us on yearly visa extensions might have to run for the hills (well in our case the airport) so keeping the majority of what we own in a safe country is the only sensible thing to do. Although it must be very tempting to marry a poor Thai woman, buy her a car and a house, pay for her parents and the sick buffalo as a lot of dim farangs do, and then think it is the norm, a while later they find it has all been taken, they do make me laugh though, they are so gullible. 🤪 I don't think I would like to live in a typical Thai village as many farangs seem to do (or maybe that is what they can afford), it would be so boring, I prefer Phuket which is international and has international standards (but I do avoid the tourist areas), I can't see what people like about living in the back of beyond in a poor Thai village, why not go one step further and live in a cave. -

AOT confirms facial recognition for international flights
I left through BKK on international flight 2 weeks ago. It works great, Scan passport step through to next gate, scan fingerprints and gate opens. Very impressive. -

Why did Biden not try to stop the flow of people crossing border early on? But, that was perfectly fine with the far left. When Trump comes to power no more catch and release. Asylum seekers will either wait in Mexico like trump was doing or perhaps build a detainment camp along the border.- 1

BBC Staff Divided Over Call to Wear Palestinian Flag Colors and Keffiyeh
So the BBC's Jewish employees support genocide - as long as it is being carried out by their fellow Jews? This is why it is fair to blame ALL Jews for the actions of the genocidal Israelis: Right or wrong (and in this case wrong), they always stick up for each other. -

BBC Staff Divided Over Call to Wear Palestinian Flag Colors and Keffiyeh
IMO the TUC has no business sticking their nose into international affairs. Trades unions exist to seek the best wages and conditions for their members. The BBC is supposed to be an impartial broadcaster of news and affairs, regardless of race or religion. How would people react if the Police Federation (representing the rank and file of UK coppers) encouraged their members to wear Israeli or Palestinian flags on their uniforms? -

UN Removes Genocide Advisor: She Refused To Label Israels actions as Genocide
You are changing your narrative as the false statements are exposed. The historic treatment of Jews and Christians by muslim colonialist and occupiers has not been consistently fair or good. As previously stated, non muslims were forced to pay special taxes. Jews were specifically barred from multiple occupations, typically activities that might result in prosperity. . Jews in muslim countries were forced to live in walled ghettos. The Moroccans called them mellahs. It was a common occurrence for the muslims to go on slaughtering binges where dhimmis were mass murdered. Jews were forced off their historic lands as the muslim population expanded and grabbed the jewish land. There is no apartheid in Israel. Repeating a lie will not make it true. All Israelis have the right to due process and are emancipated. They have equal access to health and education services. Demolitions of buildings occur in buildings linked to violent activities. If someone wishes to use a building to cover for terrorist activity, then they accept the consequences.In 2023 24 buildings were demolished for terror related activity. In 2022, there were 11. Quite a contrast to the forced expulsion of jews from Egypt, or the seizure of all assets of the jews of Syria and Iraq. -
