This is incorrect. We were told here by commenters that there was no way that he was ever returning.

Latest Pheu Thai-Led Coalition To Do Without Move Forward
dukeandduke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They have very little in common, and their core supporters have less in common. Trump was trying to stage a coup, so he has much more in common with Prayut. -
Red Shirts in Korat Gather to Welcome Thaksin at Don Mueang Airport

Yes, I mentioned the senators and what I think of their power. -

They didn't vote them out in this flawed system, unfortunately. They formed a plurality, not a majority. -

It's a flaw in this so-called democratic system, IMO. I wanted the PM to come from the MFP, but they couldn't form a big-enough coalition. Until they strip un-elected senators of voting power, what are you gonna do? Next man (party) up. They need a government. -
Does anyone know what sent a host of police and fire vehicles from Nana toward Asoke on Thursday night at about 22.45? That's the biggest emergency response that I can remember here in several years. I couldn't find anything about it in news outlets. Also, in general, is there a place to look for what we used to call police blotter -- current police activity -- in English? Thanks.

Lucky old you in Thailand with a young wife
dukeandduke replied to webfact's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yep. I had a "great on paper" girlfriend who was a psycho compulsive liar. She battled me to pay for stuff. I escaped without signing any papers. -

Yes, and zero living parents, but I'm having a hard time finding that needle in a haystack. -
You posting it twice?

What would you do if had time over?
dukeandduke replied to Sparktrader's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I would never touch crypto. I'm all about long-term action. Another thing that I would do differently is buy more stocks and mutual funds on the dips, as I'm doing now. -

More threesomes, as last weekend made me think. Move to Thailand to teach adults much sooner than I did. Invest a little more aggressively. Looking at the long-term stock charts of Google, Apple, etc., diversification is overrated. -
One of these days, I'm going to offer a tomboy money -- for advice on how to attract gorgeous women. So many of them have hot girlfriends. I could relate to some of them, too. A pretty co-worker dated a tomboy for a while just for the financial benefit, then resumed dating guys.

I was just there for a month and seldom used cash. -
Bangkok gets on my nerves sometimes, but remove it? I hope that doesn't happen.

I think that's a good call. It's also close to the Soi 10 entrance of the new Benchakitti Forest Park.

Based on recent videos, they haven't cleaned it of amateur-drinker backpackers sucking on helium.

OK. Just trying to learn if that's legal. Thanks. -

A new one. My last one expired last September. -

Because the building might not allow Air BnBs. I doubt that the host would want to get involved with that anyway. -

Thanks. If I park myself at an Air BnB for a while, should I give them that address? Should I avoid telling them that it's an Air BnB? -
