Why haven't you learned Thai even after several years as an expat in Thailand?
I disagree with some of the posts. Thai is difficult language to learn, especially if you are older. I learnt Mandarin in my late 30's when I was living in China. I'm bilingual English/Spanish but my first tonal language was tough. I'm still rubbish at written Mandarin never got past 1200 characters, and probably less now. The fact that I had a tonal language under my belt made it easier for me to pickup Thai and Lao, and I speak Lao, not Issan Lao. But for a 60 something, never spoken a foreign language in his life it's not easy, or even possible to get your brain re-wired -

Why Zelensky Won’t Bargain Away Crimea — No Matter the Pressure
Aye 4 years ago the dialogue changed but some have reason to not trust that volte face and rightly so. But while intent can become clouded and often obscured, political agendas typically prevail – the Congressional ban was later lifted – Azov is currently an official member of the Ukraine National Guard. Global aid to Ukraine since 2022 has reached a staggering €400 billion committed as of December 2024, or about $430 billion, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. Shouldn’t we have asked better questions of Ukraine before the financial largess began? Or did we already know the answers and as is typical – allowed politics rather than principle to dictate? https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/does-ukraine-have-a-neo-nazi-problem/ -

Report Staggering 80% of Thai Army Conscripts Battling Drug Addiction
Saw something on Al Jazeera a few years ago about rural lads in the south of Thailand smoking weed mixed with the powder from fluorescent tubes, definitely an unhealthy thing. 80%? I wonder how the supply and distribution of all that contraband is dealt with.
