  1. The trial starts on Monday. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how many posts Donald Trump is going to dump on his Truth Social this weekend? His record, if I’m not mistaken, was about 70 or 80 two weekends ago. 
    Although it has been relatively quiet on that front lately. Maybe his lawyers/handlers finally managed to put a leash on him. Or maybe they just take his phone away from him at night.

  2. I may have to spend 3 months in Hua Hin, from around June 15 until September 10. I have never spent a rainy season in Hua Hin, so I was wondering if someone could enlighten me. How hot and humid is it really? When I was younger I could tolerate the heat pretty well, but I’m getting a little older (am 65 now) and I’m finding out that I’m beginning to lose that tolerance. So it would be good to know what I can expect in Hua Hin from June until September.

    I'm just going to say that there are 34 counts in the indictment all the same penal code charge and each count has its own guilty/not guilty verdict and potential penalty as you say.


    If you had read my post, you would have seen that I wasn’t disputing that it’s 34 counts of falsifying business records. I was just adding that even though it’s 34 counts of falsifying business records, each count is punishable by up to four years in jail. There, was that so hard?

    That's easy. They are all the same:

     

    Charges: Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, a class E felony, 34 counts

    That may be, but each count of falsifying business records, a felony, is punishable by up to four years in prison. You do the math.

  5. Just one of the many (many!!) scams people in a position of power in Thailand play on their fellow Thai. My girlfriend has told me plenty of stories (which I won’t/can’t repeat here) of the things she’s had to do to keep her children in school, or to get certain permits, or to get certain things done.
    The upside is that there’s a lot possible when you have money. The downside is that it creates and sustains an increasingly corrupt society, where those who can’t pay the bribes get left behind. It also looks to me like the people demanding bribes are becoming greedier and greedier.
