Mass arrests made as US campus protests over Gaza spread
JemJem replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Not good. Personally, I received a negative reaction because I expressed a negative reaction towards such protests. They are just 'fashionable cause' stuff, mixed with a large dose of anti Semitism. Where the heck were these protesters when the US invaded Iraq? When, for example, Myanmar, Turkey, Iran and several other countries committed human rights abuses against their own citizens? Of course, this is mostly anti Semitism. I am no fool. It definitely is.- 43 replies

Dead Burmese man found in water tank of Bangkok condo
JemJem replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
True. When I saw the headline, I first thought he was probably a murder victim. -
2 foreign men caught performing oral sex at Bangkok Songkran
JemJem replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
I am now sort of dreading checking out the various news sections of the forum. It seems like recently there has been an exponential increase in the number of incidents of various foreign nationals behaving badly, causing a scene or, worse, committing a serious crime. These incidents might (and probably will) have various negative consequences for all of us foreigners. Or, am I being paranoid? I hope this is the case π -
Foreigner's Shocking Behavior On Soi 4 Sparks Outrage in Bangkok [videos]
JemJem replied to george's topic in Bangkok News
I fully agree. That was the first thing that I had thought. -
I would like to watch one of the 2 Champions League quarter final second leg matches of Wednesday night live. Either one of Man City-Real Madrid or Bayern Munich-Arsenal will do, and if the place has only 1 TV/screen, whichever one they will be showing. Anyway, they both kick off at 2 am Thailand time. They might go to extra time and penalties, and so might last till around 5 am. I am guessing that due to the lateness, my best bet would be a bar or a coffee shop inside a hotel, but I am not sure. Anyway, does anyone know FOR SURE about a place in central Bangkok (Sukhumvit or Silom would be great) that would certainly be open till that late and of course that would surely show the football? Please don't advise me to stay at my place and watch the football there, as I sadly don't have the channel that is broadcasting the CL matches π Thanks in advance.

Two Estonians fined for smoking on Finnair flight into Bangkok

Well, it is not so little amount either. That money could have instead gone for several nights of entertainment in Thailand π -
Government Clarifies Songkran Celebration Confusion for Chinese Tourist
JemJem replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I am guessing that the water fight thing will start this Friday. In most places anyway. So, if you wanna enjoy an evening out without getting wet (like me myself, who especially dislikes getting water in my ears, which could be quite a problem), make sure to go out either tonight or tomorrow evening or Thursday evening. Or, of course, after next Tuesday. I am all for people enjoying a water fight among themselves for a few days, preferably in designated spots like Khao San. But, I really don't like random water splashing. To be honest, I never really did, even in my twenties. -
Haha. So many memories for me from the 90's, regarding the green minibuses. Yes, they were wild π I mainly stayed in Saphan Kwai those days. I often took the green minibus no 77 to Silom. And, back, late at night. If I remember right, they operated 24 hours back then. They are still present. When I see one, my mind goes back to those days π Patpong is like a shadow of the Patpong of the 90's so I rarely go there nowadays. When I do, I take the skytrain going there and back. I don't hang around there till late anymore.

I actually enjoyed the columns of both Trink and Stickman. It has been a long time since I last read Stick. Apparently, he is still writing his column, which has surprised me. I had thought he quit. I will check it out later this week. The nightlife is just not the same for me now. Sadly. Due to both the various changes in itself over the years and also my age of course. Hangovers used to last half a day or a day maximum. Nowadays, 2-3 days. So, I admire folks who can enjoy nightlife without drinking much. I have never been like that sadly. One also wonders if Bangkok Post would agree to have a column like Trink's now. I am guessing no.
-
Yeah, man. I really miss the Bangkok of the 90's. It is not just that I was much younger. It is mainly that the social life and the nightlife was so much fun and interesting. Yes, the (lack of or minimal) Internet was a big factor.

Come on, man. Don't leave us curious. Some details would be nice. 'Bizarre' can be fun π

And, also, there are many people (mostly Russians and pro-Russia people) on social media, almost sure that Ukraine is at least somewhat involved in this horrific attack. Okay, let us assume that it is totally the work of Isis, and that Putin is convinced so too. But, then, what can he do as revenge? Sadly, not much. Isis doesn't hold any territory in Syria or Iraq anymore. If they still did, Russia would go level that place with heavy and powerful bombs. But, now, there is not much he can do, except to go after the Isis operatives inside Russia, from the info that those four terrorists will have given. By the way, those four sick terrorists must now be wishing they were killed. I think we can all guess the type of treatment they have been getting since getting caught.

Russian tourist on Pha-ngan Island accused of kicking Thai pregnant woman

It is going from bad to worse. All these incidents will sadly surely make things difficult for us foreigners in some ways. -
Swiss national opts for jail after assaulting Thai woman in mall
JemJem replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I have a feeling that he won't do any jail time. Or, maybe will do so for only a few weeks these days until trial (IF there will ever be a trial), I mean. He will most probably get deported soon. Him being from a Western country is sadly likely to give him some preferential treatment as not to be sentenced to jail. Then again, I could be wrong of course, because this incident has come soon after the other incident that caused a lot of headlines in Thailand. Time will tell. By the way, maybe some of you will remember. A few weeks ago, in Pattaya, there was a Russian guy who randomly attacked people in the street and in the end punched someone on a motorcycle. I wonder what happened to him afterwards. Sadly, we often don't get followups to some incidents and so, that will most probably stay like a mystery. But, one thing for sure, all this will sadly make things more difficult for us foreigners in some ways.
