What Actually Makes You an “Old-Hand” in Asia?
I would rate as a relic by your standards, but came in my early 20s so I'm not actually ancient. I am unwilling claim any expertise, but i certainly don't struggle under most circumstances -

The Thumbs Down Syndrome
"No politics" would remove 50% of ASEAN's content. What criteria do you use to determine what a problem poster is? -

We have not been over run by Muslims. But you sure have been taken over by the Jews. I like Muslim people. I am surrounded by them in Phuket. Nice folks. -

Report Ripped Jeans Stir Debate: Thai Education Minister Defends Casual Attire on Official Trip
And quite rightly. Jeans are a perversion. Even Elvis eschewed jeans. He'd wear pink jackets, but never jeans. -

Report Ripped Jeans Stir Debate: Thai Education Minister Defends Casual Attire on Official Trip
... Because the causal approach to her attire indicates her casual approach to those with whom she is meeting and the subject on which she is in discussion. A public official, on official duty in the weekdays would conventionally dress one notch above the expected standard of the environment you're entering, and on the weekends, Smart-casual, approachable, but still in control of the narrative - with obvious adjustments for site visits, such as farms, industry (factories), schools, sporting events etc. That Education Minister Narumon Pinyosinwat is wearing jeans at all is indicative of her approach, let alone ripped jeans. I fail to understand why so many 'officials' here manage such basic stuff ups - it would not be difficult to have a series of advisors for such matters. That said, of course her abilities, quality and influence of her work matters most - however, to be taken seriously in such a roll, professionalism is a key facet - instead she has dressed as if she is on holiday and this is somewhat disrespectful to those with whom she is visiting and the establishment itself. Appropriate dress in such a situation (on a weekend). - Smart-casual separates: Blouse with trousers or a smart dress with a cardigan or light blazer. - Shoes: Comfortable flats or block heels, especially for walkabouts. - Jewellery: Still subtle but can lean a touch more expressive. This may seem petty to some, particularly the "I don't care what others think" crowd, but, she is a public representative and should already know the basic unwritten rules. Of course, this doesn't bother 'me' in the slightest - but I can see why others may make comment as the clothing choice is professionally clumsy and highlights an underlying lack of attention. -

I don’t, I am happy about the Trump decision to raise the prices of medicines. You had better read my post again. I applaud it.
