  2. Probably true, but it doesn't make it right. In my opinion, a person or entity shouldn't be held responsible over something over which they have no control, and were therefore not culpable. Again, if they had information this was a bad cop, and put him in that position, then yes, they share some culpability. I don't think they should be called "responsible" simply because they have more money. Two wrongs don't make a right.
  3. You are always so honest. You don't care about immigrants who die building the country. Your death cult only wants to focus on murder propaganda. "Here's one woman who died! Here's one woman who died! It's Joe Biden's fault." The Trump crime cult doesn't care that murder is down over 10 % last year. The Trump crime cult doesn't care about immigrants who build America. The Trump crime cult doesn't care about facts.
  4. Anyone who thinks things are getting better in Myanmar are sadly misinformed. From CNN Burnings and beheadings: Myanmar junta escalates terror tactics Warning: This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. CNN — The two young men are bloodied, their feet clamped in wooden stocks. “What is the PDF (People’s Defence Force)?” their tormentors yell. “Dogs,” they reply. Humiliated and dehumanized, the men are hogtied and dragged across the rough ground by their thick chains. In front of dozens of onlookers, they are strung up to a tree and a fire stoked beneath them. As smoke rises and the flames consume them, the two men writhe and scream in agony – their final moments of unimaginable pain and horror captured on video. Phoe Tay was 21-years-old, Thar Htaung just 20. The two young men had left their family farms in northwest Myanmar to join a local armed resistance group following the 2021 military coup, hoping to bring peace and democracy to the Southeast Asian country, their fathers told CNN. But they were captured during a battle against the military on November 7 last year, and taken to a nearby village, where they were tortured and killed by a pro-junta militia under the watch of Myanmar army soldiers, according to witnesses. CNN has built a timeline of events, using accounts from more than a dozen witnesses, villagers, resistance fighters, family members and analysts, with analysis of the video and pictures from the day using open source techniques. Those accounts and analysis point to the ruling military as being responsible for the killings, in contradiction of their public denials. Phoe Tay and Thar Htaung’s deaths are horrific, but they are not anomalies in Myanmar, where the military is waging a war of terror against civilians as it finds itself increasingly on the back foot against a nationwide armed resistance determined to oust it from power. Those attacks have only increased since a rebel offensive launched five months ago resulted in major losses and defections for the military, multiple sources confirmed. By waging terror tactics including burnings, beheadings, mutilations, torching villages, and through a massive aerial bombing campaign that has displaced nearly three million people, the Myanmar military is attempting to control and divide the population through a long-established doctrine of fear and brutality, witnesses and analysts say.

  5. It is quite common in most of Colombia for hotels to have a guest policy that does not allow admission to non-registered guests (i.e. at the time of booking). Of the three hotels listed, I can tell you that the Charlee will allow you to bring in one guest -- who will be registered at the reception desk -- but any more that that one additional name will be charged a full reservation feel for their stay, whether overnight or for a few hours. It is in their policy as of today, since I am staying here right now.
  6. Now he has a dollar for every time he said that at Jeffrey Epstein's playpens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. But you always lovingly try to chastise me for using them. So cute.
  8. Another msn.com link? Why aren't I surprised. lmfao!!!! No need to bother opening up a link from a dem propaganda machine....
  9. Every other sign language that isn't ASL & there are dozens sign languages that aren't ASL. Not only gov press conferences, sometimes companies do press conferences too with two or more interpreters.
  10. How idiotic. How is the US responsible for a cease fire in Gaza? Are we supposed to invade Gaza? Overthrow the Israeli Government and install our own? We're hardly saints, but if we did this with some other sovereign nation, the OP would be screaming about that too. Russian trolls. They're everywhere.

  12. Could've been the 3rd of 4th....would you have known 😝
  13. I don't do three-ways so I gladly defer to PaulSF's comments above regarding your question.
  14. I go out to Kman Massage frequently. I have a regular I see. We do 3 ways often. I message him and he sends me 3 or 4 pictures of guys available for this kind of fun. I have never been disappointed and most of the times these become no limits scenes. It all comes down to communication and money. Most of the minimum tips are 800 - 1000. Easy to have 3ways for 1500. Saphan Kwai area shops is the place to go for this kind of fun.
  15. Ah, yes, it's amazing how orderly Japanese pax are. The way they evacuated the collided A350 at Haneda was astonishing. Hardly any Injuries. Mind you Japanese Airlines are pretty tough on hand baggage, which helps!
  16. Thanks. I appreciate your point. I am just keen to know that the pics are broadly reliable, and that the guts are there. I like younger twinks, 18 to 25. How they perform is a different matter, chemistry, etc. Like you however, my experience is broadly positive. I asked because I normally use apps, but was thinking of branching out into massage parlours next visit. Do you know if 3 comes are possible, ie where the boys have sex with each other, as well as the customer? I appreciate a larger tip required!
  17. Yes, if you have business class boarding pass, you can proceed directly to fast track lanes in bound and outbound.
  18. From Pattaya News Pattaya, Thailand – The Service Workers In Group Foundation (SWING), a community-based organization dedicated to promoting and protecting the health, human rights, and dignity of sex workers, announces a significant milestone in its mission to aid vulnerable communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and HIV/AIDS. With the generous support of the Government of Japan Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP), SWING has secured essential mobile vehicles to extend crucial services to sex workers and other affected individuals in Bangkok and Pattaya. In response to the devastating effects of the pandemic, SWING initiated the “Angel Kitchen” project in 2019, offering vital sustenance and daily essentials to sex workers facing job loss and economic insecurity. This initiative later evolved into the “Food Bank” project, facilitating broader aid distribution to sex worker communities and their families. Amidst operational challenges, including transportation limitations, SWING demonstrated unwavering commitment by utilizing its own resources and subsequently investing in a food truck to facilitate aid delivery in the Pattaya area. Recognizing the urgent need for expanded mobile services, SWING submitted a proposal titled “Providing Mobile Vehicles for HIV Testing and Food Trucks for the Sex Worker and Other Vulnerable People in Bangkok and Pattaya” to the Japanese Embassy’s GGP project. This proposal, aimed at addressing critical gaps in service provision exacerbated by the pandemic, received approval, signifying a significant collaboration between SWING and the Japanese government in advancing grassroots initiatives. The handover ceremony for the donated vehicles was held on March 27, 2024, at the SWING Foundation’s Pattaya Office in Chonburi Province. Mr. Tatsushi Nishioka, Deputy Head of Mission at the Embassy of Japan, officiated the ceremony by presenting five vans, comprising two laboratory vans, two counseling service vans, and one food truck. The esteemed guests, including representatives from the U.S. Embassy, renowned experts in public health, and local government authorities, witnessed this pivotal moment in SWING’s commitment to community welfare. “We are deeply grateful to the Government of Japan for their unwavering support, which enables us to expand our reach and enhance our services during these challenging times,” stated Professor Dr. Chalidaporn Songsamphan, Chair of the SWING Foundation Board. “With the addition of these mobile vehicles, we are better equipped to address the evolving needs of sex workers and vulnerable populations, ensuring their access to essential resources and healthcare.” The handover ceremony represents a significant step towards bolstering community resilience and fostering collaboration among stakeholders dedicated to mitigating the impacts of the pandemic. SWING remains steadfast in its mission to champion the rights and well-being of marginalized communities, with the invaluable support of partners like the Government of Japan.
  19. They should google "fast track bangkok" lol. I once successfully used a similar company in expectation of a long queue ... makes only sense if you travel without checked luggage. Don't airlines pay so their business class customers can use the fast track?
  20. From Pattaya Mail Legal and visa implications for gay marriage By Barry Kenyon Subject to the likely agreement of the Senate and the 120 days waiting period prior to implementation, gay marriage will be operational in Thailand in 2025. Although the new law is essentially designed to grant equality to two Thai nationals of the same sex, there will be a sizeable number of expats wanting to marry their Thai partners. Jessataporn Bunnag, a Thai lawyer based in Pattaya, said, “Longstay gay foreigners will be able to apply for the one year spouse visa which currently requires 400,000 baht in the bank or the equivalent in foreign income, plus other documentation and an immigration police visit to confirm residence and relationship.” However, Mr Bunnag added that another option for foreigners over 50 years was the retirement visa and annual extension of stay which, though less bureaucratic, requires 800,000 baht or monthly income.” Thailand already allows two foreigners (neither being a Thai) of the opposite sex to register their marriage at the amphur office, subject to both receiving an affidavit from their respective embassy in Bangkok. After the new law is introduced, this civil facility will also be available for two gay foreigners, men or women, to cement their relationship. Many Thai temples already hold ceremonies for gay couples. Formal marriage here of two same sex foreigners is likely to grow in importance in future years as Thailand is famous as a gay-friendly destination. On the negative front, Mr Bunnag said candidates for gay marriage must also understand Thai laws on divorce. “Gay marriages will break up as easily as straight ones,” he stressed. Currently, heterosexual partners can visit the amphur office for formal termination providing they have agreed the settlement terms in advance. But if one partner has gone missing, has behaved badly or is uncooperative, a civil court order may be necessary which can take months. In general terms, property and assets bought since the marriage will be divided equally, though the detail can cause problems. Thailand has long been a draw for same sex couples as it has a vibrant scene for both Thais and foreigners and, under the current Pheu Thai government, targets this market to attract increasing numbers of travellers. In 2028, Thailand is poised to become the heartbeat of gender inclusivity in hosting the LGBTQ+ worldwide summit. “It’s all looking very good,” concluded Thitian Chanmontri of the gay campaigning Rainbow Alliance.
  21. From The Nation Immigration police have warned the public not to believe internet posts that offer a fast track through immigration at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports in exchange for a fee. Police spokesman Maj Gen Cherngron Rimpadee said on Thursday that officials are investigating the “richcarsbangkok” Facebook page, which promises access to Immigration fast-track lanes for both incoming and outgoing travellers. Posted in English, the advert reads: “Fast Track Arrival - Departure 2,900 Baht/flight”. It also contains instructions on how to use the service to supposedly bypass immigration counters at Bangkok’s international airports. Investigators found that the Facebook page’s main business is renting out luxury cars, Cherngron said. He insisted that there was no such thing as an “immigration fast track” for a fee. There was no need for such a service since Immigration police have streamlined the process at airports and reduced waiting time to less than 15 minutes, even during rush hours, he said.He added that the fast track lanes at immigration booths are reserved for priority passengers, including the disabled, travellers with infants, pregnant women, seniors over 70, and holders of diplomatic visas, elite cards, Thai long-stay and APEC cards. Officials are investigating other pages on social media that may be advertising similar services and would pursue appropriate legal action, the spokesman said.
  22. From Thai PBS World The elevated Yellow Line monorail service in Bangkok is suspended until midnight, to allow for repairs and a thorough inspection, following an incident in which metal debris fell from the track onto traffic below on Srinakarin Road this morning, damaging some vehicles. Industry Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit has ordered a tightening of safety measures, to prevent another accident, according to his advisor Pongkawin Juangroongruangkit, who visited the scene of the incident today. “If this happens again, the minister has stated that he would review the contract and those found to be responsible could face penalties,” said Pongkawin. According to the Rail Transport Department’s inspection report, issued at about 8:30am, the conductor rail between Kalantan and Si Udom stations fell onto the walkways, causing loose metal debris to fall to the ground, resulting in the suspension of services on the entire line. Officials had to evacuate passengers stranded in two carriages when the accident occurred. The falling debris damaged one minivan, a sedan and a motorcycle. No one was injured. Compensation will be provided by Eastern Bangkok Monorail, the concessionaire of the line, according to Pongkawin. On January 2, a tyre fell off a Yellow Line monorail train and hit a taxi below, on Thepharak Road in Samut Prakan province. No one was injured. On December 24 last year, another section of conductor rail fell from the Pink Line monorail onto Tiwanon Road, also causing service suspension.
  23. That's a fairly subjective question but I'll give it a try. Based on 40+ visits to these shops post Covid, I can honestly say that the data about body size and preferences I found to be accurate. And for the most part, they all strive to satisfy the customer because that's how they make a living. Do the guys look like the photos? Yes. But as I recently mentioned in another post, some of the veteran staff photos may be a few years old. And pics of a small number who have darker skin may have been edited to appear lighter. That to me, anyway, is no problem because I find those cooper toned guys attractive. I think we all need to keep in mind that just as all of us are unique in outlook and desires, so are the guys who staff these shops. They have different personalities and backgrounds. For me, that's a plus because I want to meet a wide array of young men from different places. To those who just want an a more generic--cookie cutter if you will--experience, I'm confident they'll still come away satisfied, also. I think if we put ourselves in the place of the young men we encounter, we can appreciate what goes into their job. They agree to meet clients they've never seen before and have no idea how the next hour or so will unfold. I'm always amazed how often they pull it off with aplomb.
  24. Although the laws of tort liability differ in Thailand, the conduct of the employee was so egregious that their dismissal from the RTP would have warranted dismissal.
