Taliban leader says women will be stoned to death in public
RichardColeman replied to Social Media's topic in World News
You mean they are not going to blow them to pieces with all the lovely armament that idiot in the whitehouse left them with ? -
Well, going by the current polls, a second term president. I truly hope that he wins the election, not because he is gods gift or anything, but merely to shut the whining left up on here to show they are in the MINORITY of US citizens. Also want to point out to you as you seem to be completely missing the plot on your points - 2023 and 2024 cases I believe came after he said he would run for president , obviously showing that whilst they could have bring them before they held them back until now in a left conspiracy to stop him being president again. I have no love for Trump but the left lawfare is ridiculous and will be their undoing

Yeah, like lets put it down south in the heavy muslim violent areas and keep our fingers crossed. -

Gay couple arrested in Bangkok for drug and extortion operations
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
From this reporting, one would have to assume that gay healthcare professionals are more dense than a Issan farmer's pet pig. -
Thai labour unions criticise new daily minimum wage
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Go on, put it up to a high min wage and watch the total destruction of the recycling business 'inter-people' and the huge dumping of plastic, bottles, tins and cardboard as it becomes cheaper to dump it than recycle it -
Bangkok scorched at 38°C with thunderstorms looming
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I really do not care how hot it is for a few days, I just want it to rain for about a week !! I honestly cannot remember a day where it rained all day for several years - I have tried telling the wife in the UK it like rains for month or weeks on end - she thinks I am porky pie'ing -
Thailand braces for thunderstorms amid soaring temperatures
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My wife has started putting the air con on more in the early evening - we use fans in the day. The heat is currently VERY abnormal - she is not a person that generally needs air con. So I would have to disagree with you big time - of course a couple days thunderstorms may well return everything to normal - but in Pattaya we seem to get 15 minutes downpour and nothing but heat for the next 3 months. -
Suvarnabhumi Airport Customs Arrest Drug Trafficker from Nigeria
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Oh well, some Thai school is going to have to recruit a new English teacher. I am also not so sure that immigration should have published this story with a 4 million baht cocaine value - I mean that is potentially 2 houses here ! A huge incentive for someone to get onto the property ladder. I can see the 'large' women on Pattaya beach just lining up for this :) -
Absolute poverty: UK sees biggest rise for 30 years
RichardColeman replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Problem is most 'poor' people in the UK consider themselves poor if they do not have the latest i-phone, a 65 inch tv, at least 2 dogs, 5 children, beer on tap, cheap fags, sky subscriptions and easy access to weed. Least that is what 2 years in blackpool during covid taught me -
Songkran festival in Chiang Mai to draw in millions of tourists
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Coming soon, Songkran water tax for foreigners - and blaming them for up and coming droughts for wasting it -
"Big Joke" on leave from govt service to rest with family in UK
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Asylum claim pending then -
This article will well be worth following - UK people can stay here for say 1 month on a free visa, but UK visa for a Thai currently would be 6 months (paid), so chances are that either UK people can come here for free for 6 months or a UK visa for a thai would/could be reduced to 1 month , with a special 6 month visa also available. I'm hopeful that there will be free 6 month reciprocal visas.

British drug dealer arrested in Chiang Mai
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Be fair, I think there is far more of a link of people graduating from weed to hard drugs than there is from people upgrading from beer to hard drugs, though I can accept a link from alcohol to weed. I do not consider alcohol or wee a hard drug -
Thailand to welcome 36 million foreign tourists in 2024
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I have absolutely no idea if they will reach this target, but one thing I will say is that if they do want to achieve this figure they seriously need to sort out the immigration officials checking you into the country at entry immigration. It took me 10 minutes to get through last week, even though I have a retirement stamp until the end of May. The guy was totally confused, started rubbing his forehead, counting on his fingers, then he got the calculator out and then promptly stamped me valid stay until MAY 25 ! An entire year after I was valid for. I gave it back to him and pointed again at the date on my stamp and told him it was wrong, more forehead rubbing, more finger counting , more calculator. The crowd behind me were getting annoyed, you could see the frustration they all had after their own 12 hour flights ! So, May 2025 scrubbed out, and new correct date added. I am not saying the guy was either thick or an idiot, it could well have been a training issue, but if this is the sort of quality of officers, then the people will be lining up back to their planes at 40 million ! -
Where we might find aliens in the next decade
RichardColeman replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Whilst I may like the idea of intelligent life out there, I am somewhat of the opinion that we may actually be the most intelligent species out there. My reasoning would be that the only life out there that could be seen as ultra intelligent would be one that would have had to have survived any initial 'big bang' (my own opinion is the big bang being and exploding black hole). If we assume that ALL life starts the same with water, heat , etc and it all follows the same live of amoeba, fish, reptile, dinosaur/mammal, etc then there may well be many many planets out there that have huge amounts of wildlife but no intelligent species. Humans evolved supposedly to the most intelligent life mainly I suspect due to the deaths of the dinosaurs via meteorite hit , etc. So unless an event like this happed that mirrored our own planet.................. If, there is life out there that we could communicate with it would probably be reptile in origin and we may well find ourselves at war with them as they would view us as food, in the same way that KFC would accidentally start an intersteller war if the intelligent life out their is chicken descended -
Excellent, the more undemocratic the place becomes the stronger reasons my wife has for a UK asylum claim to get round immigration fees !

Thai airlines soar to record profits amid tourism boom
RichardColeman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Complete hogwash and profiteering - my return flight today is £400 more than it was prior to covid. Pure theft. Shame BA is not flying direct to atleast give the appearance of competition. They will be pricing themselves out of the market - family of 4 return flights to the UK for a holiday now is near £4,000 before you even step foot on thai soil -
