Motorcyclist Killed in Collision with Turning Pickup Truck in Nonthaburi
Agreed... Without blindly adopting local driving methods its important we (riding and driving) adapt to local driving methods and as you mention - there is a significant laziness which which many approach their manoeuvre - cutting corners, but the biggest one for me is a reluctance to brake. I see most accidents occurring when both parties are refusing to slow or brake - IF only one of the parties had been sensible, the accident would have been avoided. One of the things I see here is people subconsciously 'broadcasting their intentions'... not by indicating etc, but their road positioning, their hesitation, the manner in which they allow their vehicle to drift etc.. (many indicators - not 100% accurate of course, but often a good enough indication to recognise what someone might do)... ... Wife will be driving and I'll say to her... Careful, that car is about to change lanes and cut you off... She won't see it, but somehow its possible to 'read' the interpretation of the other drivers intention. Of course - the worse one of the 'aggressive flashing of lights' as if to say... "Don't you dare pull out in front of me and make me touch the other pedal"... It seems many drivers would rather get 'close to a crash' than to have to apply a brake pedal or slow to give space. -

Thailand as home, roaming the world tax free - the pipe dream
Is your friend single and does he own a place in Thailand? That's the ony way I can see that working. If you rent a condo, in Bangkok or Pattaya, or wherever, it's probably on a one-year lease, but I guess there are ways around that.. -

Vents Bathroom Exhaust Fan recommendations
Better to wire it on a time delay switch so that it always comes on with the light but stays on for 15~30 minutes after you switch the light off. These are hard to impossible to find in Thailand but Amazon UK will ship them to you in a few days, mine took just over a week to arrive. -

Less-Refined Farang: Are Farang in Asia now less refined than before?
In my 40 years in Thailand, I have rarely interacted with foreigners here. Occasionally, I meet a foreigner at Immigration or Tesco Lotus, but that's all. Going by the online Forums there are many I would not like to meet because of their rudeness and lack of empathy towards people in distress. I did not use to encounter such behaviour in the 1980s and 1990s even on the Bangkok Post Forum, which has turned into a cesspit of undesirables. I live in a quiet village with 28 loving cats and I'm happy here. -

Trump’s ‘stunningly unqualified’ diplomatic team shapes up at breakneck speed
You are speaking from a position of absolute ignorance. The USN is under the control of career naval officers, most of whom received their command commissions during the Trump administration. Their first duty is to the US Constitution. The fact is that friendly fire losses are a common occurrence in a battle zone. Who are you to 2nd guess the loss ot the F16? Have you ever commanded a naval vessel during a missile attack? No, but here you are to blame anyone and everyone because it fits your ignorant political agenda. You can blame Biden all you want, but Trump left US political relations in a shambles and Biden's administration spent years repairing the damage. Yesterday, Trump threatened Panama threatening to invade a sovereign nation and seize a canal that is not the USA's That's the ignorant mindset of his collective. If that is done, the USA will be subject to the same sanctions as Russia is in the Crimea. Trump won't be happy until he has alienated the USA from the world. Eventually, Americans will be prisoners in their own fetid nation unwelcome in the world and unable to travel except to their lackey nations.
