So what can Thailand do? Have war with China? Haha

 

even the great USA or EU cannot do anything to China except bowing down. 
 

From what I see, a very sensible choice would be seeking friendship with everyone.

Seems a bit inefficient to collect sweat samples then have dogs sniff them, but I suppose it’s less embarrassing than standing in line at the airport, having a dog sniffing your crotch or tugging at your nuts. . ????

Sizzler has great bacon-cheese burgers.  Love the salad bar as well.  On an intensive diet/exercise routine now and can only look at photos.  14 more kgs. to go (a few more weeks) and I'll be eating the real thing.  Happy to hear that Sizzler in Thailand will not be affected.

Unless Sizzler US is completely different from Sizzler TH, this is no loss. What they sell as steaks can hardly be identified as such. Looks, tastes and feels like leftover pieces from a meat factory. I did notice though that some people like their all you can eat salad bar. Personally I’ve never returned after one bite of what was supposed to be pork chop (but tasted like a rotting shoe) in Pattaya many many years ago. 
 

 

 

I never tried “rotting shoe” but I did eat at Sizzler once and that was enough.

A “decent“ prosecutor wouldn’t do that. They take cases assigned to them and don’t encourage anyone to file complaints.
