Perhaps the area needs a well placed garbage can. I cannot stand litter

I was so worried that this was going to be a post about Old daddy. I am so relieved.

It is so funny that I completely forgot about the guns. They were incredibly loud at the time, but I had no interest in them. The tunnels and the booby traps and the camouflaged entrances to the tunnels are what stick in my mind. There was also a propaganda film playing that also seemed perfectly suited to the setting.

He might be gay for pay

I found it a little creepy. But I guess that is par for the course.

Word to the wise everyone. Be very careful.

Why would a professional Russian state propagandist post on this website? Putin and the Russian dictatorship are vehemently anti gay and have mercilessly persecuted gay people, but yet there is this propagandist who is openly gay, talks about gay venues and runs a company offering gay tour guides to Westerners. Yet he stays out of jail and continues his activities. Things have not changed much from the Soviet period. Finding ways to compromise Westerners is a key tool used by Russian intelligence. It is called during your job. I strongly urge caution in dealing with Russian state propagandists, particularly when it comes to giving them any personal information.

Official Russian State Propaganda is usually disseminated by employees.

This poor kid lives in a brutal dictatorship. Moses also lives under the same brutal dictatorship. Millions of others live under this same brutal dictatorship, but they don’t respond to every single post that is in any way critical of Russia or Russia’s dictator. Most normal people could not be bothered. I have watched these official Russian state propaganda posts for quite a while now. My impression is that this is his actual job. I would urge people to consider this when engaging.

Maybe he was wearing a Mexican wrestling mask with wire and camera!! Surely nobody would find that strange in a lobby of a Bangkok hotel

I suspect that some (if not all) of these officers were in a room next door with a key card to make a quick easy entry. That would also explain the safe word “Hehehe”

I am sorry for your loss. It does seem that Bangkok is giving you physical and emotional comfort during this trip. You sound so much better than during your previous trip, despite the recent death of your friend.

I wonder how they manage to keep Boeing 777s flying for all this time. They either have a lot of spare parts or they are getting them from China. Same logistical issues with Airbus. Just one more concern.

I find it funny that he’s got two officers holding onto him. I would’ve just put him in handcuffs or shackles. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about chasing him later on.

What is their line id?

I am not so sure about just how obligated he may feel to respond to all these posts. It may not be voluntary.

United flies direct to Beijing and Shanghai from West Coast of USA. United also flies direct Newark to Delhi. Air India is the only direct flight from San Francisco to Delhi, but honestly, I would take any other airline to make that trip. Perhaps the Tata Group will be able to fix the problems at Air India, but that is going to take a long time. Also, there is another concern to toss into the mix. An Air India flight from India to San Francisco had to divert to Russia. Luckily nothing happened to the passengers who had an unplanned stop in Russia. But there is a good reason that Western governments urge their citizens not to go to Russia. I would not want to become a hostage in Russia, waiting for some Western country to release a Russia agent who shoots someone to death in front of mothers with kids in the middle of a park in Berlin. Strong pass.

I prefer to pay cash for certain things. I have paid massage shops with credit card, but the tip has been in cash and I prefer that. At home, I will pay the restaurant bill with a card, but the tip for the server is usually in cash. I can be sure that they are getting the money, and they do not have to go through their boss. Also, for certain venues, I am more comfortable not using a card and just paying in cash which is more anonymous

My concern was not the urine. It was the raw sewage. The whole situation seems very sketch for swimming at Pattaya beaches. I also do not know if there is any testing of the water or posted results from testing. I live on the SF Bay and our beaches are tested regularly with Red Yellow and Green signs posted for when contamination levels are high.

Do people actually swim in that water?

I used a regional Nomad eSIM last year in Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia, and Vietnam. I don’t think I had coverage in Laos. I was very happy.

If they have a penis, they wank.

Just google eSIMs. It is really easy. There are articles and videos to show you how to activate them on your phone. It is easier now than when I first started with them.

Public Wi-Fi users are prime targets for MITM attacks because the information they send is often not encrypted, meaning it's easy for hackers to access your data. Once they're in, they can grab your emails, usernames, passwords, and more. They might even lock you out of your own accounts by resetting your passwords.Feb 12, 2024 9 Possible Ways Hackers Can Use Public Wi-Fi to Steal Your ...

I just use eSIMs now. Started with Airalo, but now mostly use Nomad. Prices are good and it works on arrival. It does not come with a local phone number though. I use WhatsApp or whatever for verbal communication.
