[Minister warns against fake Labubu doll scam]

This is obviously getting serious. I suppose they should form a committee to write a report on the seriousness of Labubu dolls. Maybe the committee could have several subcommittees to write the several parts of the document. The answer is Chinese scammers....they buy their Labubu dolls cheap in Patpong, Bangkok and then scam poor 8 years olds. It happened with Beanie Babies a few years back.

Wonderful stuff. You know they will never do anything to hurt or inconvenience business polluters or lifestyle polluters ie voters. But let's face it science has little credibility today with thinking people, hence the response from citizens to the whole global warming giant scam, as they see it.

Science is a group think driven business where data that doesn't fit the narrative is discarded and promotions and grants are given to faithfuls servant of the Scientific Narrative.

Today it was announced that Scientific American has an article saying that there are way more that two sexes....not genders mind you, more than two sexes. Good God, Galileo would be put to death by the scientists today (alliteration).

Man up you miserable Eurorunts and start training to run a marathon at 40 degrees plus, like me.

From the voting it looks like this thread is populated by warmongers (6 warmongers with a down vote) or people that support the need for war as some sort of reflexive reactive. I despise this sort of person.

I'm American and I'm not afraid. Indeed I have no fears except I fear for the nation if Genocide Joe Biden gets in. How can a man with no morals on the issue of genocide be president? It's inconceivable and scary to me.

[Thai baht expected to weaken against US dollar]

I sincerely hope not. I am enjoying this exchange rate on my SS paid here. But I can't decide who has the weaker currency really. If US rates come down, so will the currency. If Thai rates come down so will the currency. You then have state of the nation......US in an awful pickle what with provoking wars to break out everywhere, and the tax payer has to pay for them and a deficit of $1 trillion this year so, $3 trillion forecast for this year. Thailand in a smaller pickle, but a pickle being created by a mindless baboon who dreams up new expensive gimmicks every day and never ever finishes a job.

[Europe baked in ‘extreme heat stress’ pushing temperatures to record highs]

Goodness. I left Europe in 1985 unable to see much of a future for my kids in the UK under the vile Thatcher. I wouldn't fancy living there now without huge a/c units next to me 24/7, and the cost would be outrageous unless you lived ion a small hovel. 

Sometimes the grass really is greener on the other side. You couldn't pay me to live in Europe lead by half witted politicos like Ursula, Borrell, idiot Macron, submissive Scholz and Sunak etc. They make Srettha seem like a statesman instead of a used car salesman.

[Laser Anal Fissure Surgery]

I had a fissure maybe 20 years ago. The LIS procedure was in office and painless (apart from the local anaesthetic, which hurt like hell). No lasers, quick recovery and no issues. 

I tend to prefer operations which are common and which the surgeon has done many cases. Your difficulty finding a laser-wielding surgeon may mean you will be having treatment from a less experienced surgeon. 

[PM Explores Hosting Formula One Race in Bangkok]

Why doesn't Srettha achieve anything? Because in life you have to focus and prioritise, meaning do fewer things and see them through to completion with laser like focus. Srettha is a gimmick a day man, he sits there dreaming up new gimmicks during the evening and vomits them out the next day, but fails dismally at implementing. Pick 1 from the digital wallet, land bridge etc and all the other tosspot ideas he has floated, then implement it.

AS a side note, I did read sometime last month that Vegan and 'plant based food' are rapidly going out of fashion in the west.

Largely because of cost and the fact that it is highly processed.

I read on the business pages that the stock price of plant based products is nose diving in the US based on declining sales so early in the life cycle. Let's face it if we are fishing out the seas, I want to eat as much sashimi tuna I can before it goes extinct....same with meat, what am I going to eat tonight? An 8oz wagyu beef steak. 

I feel the same way about plant based food as I do about eating insects....revolting. 

[Motorbike taxi driver stabs colleague in Phuket over passenger]

These motorcycle taxi drivers seem like a bad breed. I suspect that we see a very small percentage of the violent assets they commit. Other than gangsters and drug dealers I can't think of a group in the west in which there is so much lawlessness. 

[Phuket car rentals must verify tourist driving licenses]

In this situation you have someone who wants to rent a vehicle and a dealer that wants to satisfy the customer for his own livelihood. There are no other parties involved in the transaction. What is to stop the renter using a fake licence and the loaner accepting it? 

To me this will achieve nothing. It is against the natures of both parties to accept an obviously false or even no, licence and to take a chance. The dealer risks nothing as he is likely Thai, and if the police become involved after an accident, the dealer is a victim because his property is damaged. The renter, ie the driver will be found at fault by the police and by the courts if it goes to court.
