georgegeorgia · Wednesday at 02:43 AM1 day

I would like to try a beautiful delicious seafood buffet I don't know where to go in Pattaya for this ,hence I'm seeking analysis on this project I'm not particularly concerned about price , but as I don't like crowds or people sitting near me , I don't like too many people where it's obnoxiously overcrowded where people are pushing shoving fighting for the food I find people seem attracted to me like honey to a pot , I could be in a restaurant say Sizzlers and there is hundreds of tables

Poll -- Ethiopian restaurant in Pattaya?

Jingthing · Wednesday at 08:51 AM1 day

There are a number of cuisines types that are probably more obviously missing in Pattaya now (notably Indonesian and Malaysian) but this topic is about Ethiopian. I'm curious about the interest and possible demand for a decently priced, reasonably good/authentic Ethiopian restaurant here. I know that many urban Americans are familiar with Ethiopian food, but I'm not sure about Europeans and other nationalities. It's my impression that it;'s a kind of food that once tried, the majority will li

Intel report warns large-scale war ‘unlikely’ to oust Iran’s regime

Alan Zweibel · 9 hours ago9 hr

A classified U.S. report doubts that Iran’s opposition would take power following either a short or extended U.S. military campaign. A classified report by the National Intelligence Council found that even a large-scale assault on Iran launched by the United States would be unlikely to oust the Islamic republic’s entrenched military and clerical establishment, a sobering assessment as the Trump administration raises the specter of an extended military campaign that officials say has “only just b

The International Left's Dangerous Appeasement of Iran, A Wake Up Call for Global Security! In an era where state sponsors of terrorism like Iran continue to escalate their nuclear threats, it's alarming to see elements of the international left, including disillusioned citizens of Western countries, turning a blind eye or even justifying such actions as responses to USA/Israel aggression, especially after repeated attempts at negotiations . This pattern of appeasement not only undermines glob

Iran is winning and will likely win the war against the USA

Jingthing · Wednesday at 10:31 PM1 day

It certainly doesn't please me to realize this dark reality. This is a war that Trump (snookered by Israel) should have never started in the first place. However, this war more than anything else clearly signals to me that the American empire is declining rapidly. Maybe call it a suicide. This topic is being started to discuss and track the events related to Iran winning this war against the USA. I call it a war against the USA rather than a war against the USA and Israel because it would be

Washington and Tel Aviv now claim they’re “lowering the intensity” of their strikes so they can keep attacking longer. Spare us this bull<deleted>. Iran has been throwing waves of cheap drones and missiles precisely to exhaust US and Israeli weapons stockpiles,and it’s painfully obvious that strategy is working. And there is more: Russia and China are providing targeting data to allow Iran to successful destroy American assets. Is it working? Let’s see: The American satellite imaging

Evil Penevil replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News - Discussion

Yes, my avatar is the flag of Israel. It's a small expression of solidarity with Israel and its people. I have used the handle "Evil Penevil" since the earliest days of the Internet. My handle has no connection to Israel; it was a nickname given to me by colleagues even before there was an Internet. It's a play on "Evel Knievel" and "Evil Pen." I certainly don't consider myself "self-appointed official spokesman of all things Israel on this forum," but I will defend Israel and try to clear up misconceptions whenever appropriate. I also feel strongly it is necessary to stand in opposition to antisemitic posts whether or not then topic is Israel-related.

Enter Thailand on the 3rd visa-exempt entry per calendar year

JAG replied to Saigon's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

They will let you in once. They will almost certainly let you in twice. They will likely refuse you the third time. Visa Exempt is for tourists, holidaymakers. People coming to visit occasionally. If you can make two holiday trips a year, you lucky so and so, fill your boots. If you fit that pattern then no-one is bothered. It is very simple, if you wish to come and go as you describe, multiple visits throughout the year, You need to get a visa. If you are as experienced at living here as you describe, surely you understand that?

Plan B Retirement to ShanXi China: YOLO…!!!

Dear Folks, You only live once, or so it is surmised by those who are no-longer among us.. And, I am thinking about going for the gusto in Shanxi, China. I have decided that ShanXi will be my new Plan B, if I need an escape destination. This is one place I have longed to visit, since I was 18. And so, I would like to know if anyone here has any experience living in Shanxi. I am an Old Friend of China, as I think I have mentioned in past comments. Therefore, I expect that a long-term visa mi

After Aggressive Pruning: Can/will this tree even survive?

GammaGlobulin · 13 hours ago13 hr

Dear Folks, As we all know, most trees in the city, or the suburbs, get pruned. Most seem to survive this cutting. However, some never recover. At this time, I am worried about my favorite tree which has been growing near my property for some time, and which has provided me with welcome shade from the sun, during the Hot Seasons. I have no idea concerning the botanical name for this species of tree. I just know that it once was beautiful. My hope is that it will re-grow into its former se

Why do electric-power outages very rarely happen during evening hours?

GammaGlobulin · Wednesday at 05:44 PM1 day

Dear Folks, Have you ever wondered why grid-related power outages are extremely rare during evening hours, while PEA workers are asleep? Yet, they happen all the time while these PEA workers are awake and ON-THE-JOB? Ever wondered about THIS? Just an innocent question...and.... Can you, or anyone, provide a good and logical explanation? Please feel free to chime-in with your thoughts. Thank you. Best regards, Gamma NOTE: By evening hours, we mean about 7:00pm to 5:30am, in case we need
