Anal warts and anal fissures
Mavica and 6 others reacted to floridarob for a topic
I'm scratching my head, doesn't coincide with what you wrote, or maybe it's me 🤨 As often as possible?? The main way is unprotected anal sex///// My guess, since you are in Thailand, is that your sex partners are younger than you. There's been a bit of discussion on this board about the HPV vaccine and it is available in BKK. The discussion you should be having, in my opinion is finding out if your partners even know what HPV is and there is a vaccine available for it. Yeah....like when you use them. I'm not your target audience...... My sarcasm runs too deep for this 🤐7 points -

I offer 1000 regardless of location (Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai) and get enough who accept. I have many regulars for 1000 as well. There is the one or other stunner who asks for more and will not budge, but I can't have everyone. Beware of sending money for travel in advance, it's a scam in most cases. Not in my experience. I don't recall any case of a low quote, only high quotes.5 points -
It's no coincidence, I think, that the appearance of another newbie airing urgent questions about the consequences of his sexual behavior and recent similar posts of the same nature. A look back in time and even a casual reader will have no problem of identifying a string of newbies, all posing a host of like questions. In almost all cases, they exit the scene after taking us for the proverbial ride. Some I suspect are disgruntled members simply posting under a new handle. And, very likely, some posts are the work of the same person. Floridarob pretty much sums up my attitude: "I'm not your target audience...... My sarcasm runs too deep for this."4 points

From Pattaya News Early this morning, nearly 20 Thai transgender individuals physically assaulted Saudi Arabian and Palestinian tourists at the Pattaya beachfront. The incident occurred after one of the tourists questioned one of the transgender people about their gender during an alleged escort service negotiation. The “misgendering” offended the transgender group who then attacked the tourists. On August 2nd, at 3:30 AM, tourist police officers from the Pattaya police station received a report of an assault involving a group of transgender individuals and three Saudi Arabian and Palestinian tourists (two men and one woman). The incident happened near Pattaya Beach in front of the Baywalk Shopping Center. Upon arriving at the scene, Pattaya Police officers encountered the tourists (names withheld upon request), who were visibly shaken and frightened by the event, some with torn clothing. The police officers then invited the tourists to the Pattaya police station to provide their statements. Upon their arrival at the station, the police also encountered a lot of transgender individuals waiting at the station, making loud noises and shouting at police. Seemingly in connection with the incident, the police officers requested the unrelated individuals to wait outside the station, while interviewing two injured individuals, both transgender. Identified as Thiraphat Paladchai, 23, and Narisara Ratchabutsri, 20, the two sustained injuries including swollen and bruised lips with bleeding and minor scratches on their arms. After the questioning with police, they claimed to The Pattaya News that they were paid companions working by the beach. Narisara alleged that one of the involved tourists approached them, so they offered the tourist companionship services, inviting him to a nearby hotel. However, the tourist’s friend suddenly interrupted them and asked about Narisara’s gender, calling Narisara a man and allegedly asked if Narisara was homosexual. This angered Narisara and led to an exchange of words that swiftly escalated into a physical confrontation. Narisara then called upon their fellow transgender friends standing nearby for help, resulting in the chaotic assault as an estimated twenty transgender individuals began attacking the tourists. Subsequently, The Pattaya News went to the beach where the incident took place and asked a local resident and eyewitness named Mr. Jakree Sriarun, 34, about the incident. He said that a group of over 20 transgender individuals attacked the foreign victims and claimed the transgender group were the aggressive party. Feeling compassion, many Thais, foreigners, and he intervened and tried to stop the assault. Jakree noted that these transgender individuals are known to work by Pattaya Beach and often engage in disputes and altercations with foreign tourists. Upon his intervention, the transgender group also verbally abused him. He urged the Pattaya police to take serious action against them, as they were harming Pattaya’s reputation. It is unclear to what extent the foreign tourists were harmed, but according to the police, three of them were transferred to Pattaya Hospital for medical checks. The tourists and the involved transgender people will later be summoned to the station for another questioning and legal proceedings and possible fines.3 points

SP or Rio now?
floridarob and 2 others reacted to numazu for a topic
Insight on months… an interesting question. In the past I’ve always thought that winter is worse than summer due to the weather outside, but recently I’ve seen really busy days in July (winter) and some slow days in January (summer), and that depends on what day of the month it is more than anything. But if there are special occasions throughout the year you should look out for, here are my observations based on past experience. Let me just preface this by saying that special occasions (holidays) bring out revelers to SP or Rio from other parts of Brazil to commemorate the occasion, and this includes boys who think those revelers and foreign tourists will bring in more business, and thus program their visits around the sauna to earn extra cash. February to beginning of March (variable due to Ash Wednesday timing): Carnaval 2023 Carnaval was out of this world due to no Carnaval in 2021 and 2022 due to the pandemic and all that pent up energy was both seen on the streets, the parties, and the saunas. I’ve been to Carnaval in Rio, São Paulo and Salvador in the past 6 years, and all those times, the saunas were packed with both regular and new boys who I’ve never seen before and never seen since, coming from all over. I remember in 2019 I invited some (non-GP) SP friends over to Rio to stay at my apartment, and even they turned to the saunas to earn some pocket change since business was good. I was even on hand to translate for some gringo clients. Fun times. Last weekend of June: São Paulo Gay Pride 2023 was my first Gay Pride in SP, and even tho I was in SP mainly for the pride march (which is a story in and of itself, maybe a future post), the saunas were full of first-time and part-time GPs just in town to take advantage of the increased gay tourism Pride offered. I probably met with 4 GPs who I have never seen ever in Lagoa, who added a needed variety of what Lagoa usually offered. And I never saw those 4 ever again after that week. Last week of December to early January: Christmas and New year (réveillon) Just with the previous two entries, more tourism means more business for boys, so other boys come to take advantage. SP and Rio usually are pretty good, though Rio gets the advantage for a better New Year’s eve celebration in Copacabana than with SP. Just be warned, the saunas may be closed on Christmas and New Year’s eve, but after Christmas is a start of a busy week or two at the saunas. From my archives: Other good dates when saunas have extra boys, based on Holidays: Tiradentes Day (April 21), Independence Day (Sep. 7), Our Lady of Aparecida’s Day (Oct. 12) etc. I was in Rio on an Independence day that fell on a Friday, and the gay section of Ipanema beach was paaaacked cheek to jowl with Brazilian and foreign hottie gay men. Some were later found in the saunas too. Outside those dates, I’d say its still a good time to go, since the need for money is eternal. , And because of the relatively strict child support laws in Brazil, you will always find that special guy who is in need of some extra cash in the sauna.3 points -

I remember a time I was in Rio a young kid came up and asked for some water from my water bottle. At the time I thought that was a strange request, because I'd been asked for money to buy food but never a drink from a strangers water bottle. My Brazilian friend said, Robert....you've never know what hunger or thirst is. If you want something, you go buy it, these people don't have anything and can't even go into a hotel/restaurant and ask for a cup of water. Why do you think they (male/female) have sex for money....do you think they like sucking an old man's dick to survive? Kind of obvious but at the same time eye opening.3 points -

From Pattaya Mail Top cop urges retirement visa rules to be tightened By Barry Kenyon Thailand’s best known crime cracker, police general Surachate Hakparn, has openly stated that one year retirement visas and extensions of stay are plagued by out-of-date regulations and corrupt practices. In an interview with the Bangkok Post, the deputy national police chief said that the requirement to have 800,000 baht in a Thai bank, or its equivalent in annual foreign remittances, was too low as it failed to screen quality applicants. Police general Surachate added that “window dressing” of applicants’ bank accounts was a serious problem as visa agents and even some immigration officers colluded by providing short-term “loans”. He continued that he would propose to the new Thai Cabinet that the 1979 immigration act, which still governs some visa practices, be replaced. Police general Surachate did not detail his policy recommendations for retirement visa extensions apart from emphasizing that the entry bar was set too low and was too easily circumvented. The context of his interview was the all-importance of getting rid of foreign motorbike gangs plaguing Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui in particular. Sociologists call this approach “deviancy amplification” as it highlights one particular criminal issue in order to justify policy action against a much wider group in society. Police general Surachate’s observations have struck a chord as he is a former commander of both the tourist police division and, for a short period, the immigration bureau in 2018-19. In the past few years, there have been occasional attempts to toughen the bureaucracy for retirees such as introducing compulsory medical insurance for some visas and extensions – notably the “O/A” retiree option initially issued by a Thai embassy – and by checking bank books three months after the granting of an annual extension. But the efforts were largely non-consequential. Although there are several visas suitable for single or retired retirees including Elite, Long Term Residence and Spouse options, the annually renewable retirement visa issued by the immigration bureau is far and away the most popular owing to its cheapness and easy availability for foreigners over 50 years. But it will likely be many months before policy revisions, if any, appear in the public forum. Concerns are already being raised about “the baby being thrown out with the bath water”. Most Thai retirees are elderly men 65-90-plus with no interest in joining a foreign mafia or even boarding a motorbike. Except perhaps to go to the pub.3 points

Same Ramiro. Was nice to see him at 555 on that one Sunday. Glad he found a landing spot after he quit (or was fired? Not sure) 117. I wonder if he can turn 555 around. He is certainly trying: Europe was fun, but I just can’t stay away from Brazil, so for now, I’m spending my pennies here. His name is Renan Kalany, and he has a huge following on Insta and has an Only Fans. I’ve been an admirer of his ever since I met him in Santos, São Paulo a few years ago, as he was a friend of a friend. When I met him he looked younger than his pics I had to ask for ID. And that’s all I’m gonna say about him. Here’s some pics for your viewing pleasure. I made him my profile pic because he is an intersection of what guys here on the forum like: a cute hairless young twink, who just happens to be Brazilian. So his dick is (much?) bigger than the average Thai money boy:2 points -

Thank you for being so open about your experiences. A subject that is little talked about, but of general concern. That's interesting! I don't talk about such subjects at all. First, I don't want to divulge to my new partner how many I had before him. Second, I think most (of my sexual partners in SEAsia) are not aware of the various STD and modes of transmission. There would be little use in talking about these issues, and it would be a turn off for me.2 points -

Overall I suspect for the majority of us, the cost of accommodation is a lesser expenditure item. For my trips to Thailand the cost of boys is my biggest budget, ahead of hotels, airfares, drink, food and transportation. I like to stay in lower cost hotels (in Pattaya, BT area or the Complex) but selecting the better room options.2 points -

You are very right there Vinapu about the maze of corridors and floors at the Ambiance. A few times I’ve got lost when returning there after a few drinks after climbing the stairs and finding myself unable to locate my room. The only solution was to return to the ground floor and start again taking note of landmarks like the large vase and any room signposts. On another occasion whilst in the room, the phone rang so say that I had a visitor. I told the clerk to send him up, but 10 minutes later the boy from Grindr had not appeared so I had to go searching and found him sat on the stairs, also lost. I think years ago the present hotel would gave been two or even three separate units.2 points -

Re: the original question… my answer is always: I’m currently in Rio, and I was just in SP, and have been alternating both cities (since 2018? Has it been that long) ever since I’ve decided to give Brazil a try. If it were me, and I just had one week to spend in Brazil a year, I’d fly into São Paulo and arrive on a Friday and spend the weekend there, and hop on a plane (or a bus) to Rio during the week, and finish out your trip back in SP for another weekend. I have found that certain days are always busy (Friday and Saturday, for example), but Mondays seem to be weirdly amazing as well. My take, from recent weeks being here: Fridays: Lagoa (SP) is better than the Rio saunas (117 or 202 are both good as well, but sometimes oddly a toss up, as one is better than the other, or both the same on Fridays) Saturdays: Lagoa (SP) is oddly better than any of the Rio saunas on Saturdays. Why is that? Sundays: Slow day, but an odd choice would be 555 in São Paulo. Ramiro is there now and they are trying to get Sunday to happen for 555. Lagoa is horrendous on Sundays with karaoke (ugh why have this), and recently has started to empty out after 7 PM due to 555 having bingo nights on Sunday. Rio has 117 as an only option, and even then it is slow. Mondays: Point (Rio) is oddly good on Mondays. Lagoa (SP) is also good. I find this odd but maybe boys get more day workers come to the sauna? 117 is closed. Meio Mundo is an option in Rio, but it is not for me. Tuesdays: 117 (Rio) would be your pick here. Point is closed. Lagoa is slow. Wednesdays: Point (Rio) is a hit or a miss on this day but mostly a hit. 117 is super slow, and Lagoa will be better. Thursdays: Lagoa will be infinitely better than the Rio saunas, but slow(ish) day in general as people are saving their pennies and penis for the weekend. Also, it will depend on what day of the month you spend your week in these two cities. The boys rely on local customers as the foundation of their business, and generally Brazilians spend less money towards the end of the month, so boys tend to not be at the saunas towards the last week of the month. Things pick up at the first of the month, and really peak after the 7th of the month as rent is due usually on the 10th. Not a hard and fast rule of course but something to keep in mind. If you find yourself at Lagoa on the 10th of the month on a Saturday, count yourself lucky, as the boy and the clients are all there on top of each other at the saunas. As always, your mileage may vary, and my experience may be a little bit different than yours @dallastexas. I also spend way too much time in Brazil in general, but judging from the experiences you have expressed here, you know why I spend a lot of my pennies and penis in this wonderful country.2 points

Pattaya Mail columnist Barry Kenyon chimed in today on the fate of the Elite Visa: The Thai Elite visa, which offers multiple-entry stays between five and 20 years, will totally replace its current packages on October 1 2023. Founded by then prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2003, Thailand Privilege Card Company is wholly owned by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports. But a new senior management team at Elite has decided to introduce unprecedented changes. All new applications for Elite must be made by September 15 under the existing application rules: after that it will be too late. Current holders of the popular Elite Easy Access – a five year visa available for as cash payment of 600,000 baht – have until August 15 to transfer to a longer Elite visa, usually for 20 years: after that it will be also be too late. Enrolment and renewal fees are likely to rise as the principle of Elite has always been to attract high spenders, wealthy expats and global citizens. The number of packages, some of which include deals for expat families as well as individuals, may well be reduced or combined. Scrutiny of application details will almost certainly be intensified. Currently, files are checked against the Thai immigration database and information held by Thai embassies abroad. This referral might be extended to Interpol after it was found necessary to cancel some Elite members who were involved in “grey” businesses or fraudulent or criminal international activity. Other memberships have been refused to some Elite holders whose original visas were for study or voluntary work – sometimes dubiously issued for untraceable cash during the Covid pandemic. Membership of Elite programs stultified in the few thousand members for many years, but zoomed to over 20,000 in 2022 and is now thought to be nearing 30,000. Well over one third of recent applications are from Chinese citizens, but Thai MPs and tourist authorities have both complained publicly about abuses. For example, visa agents in Chinese cities have been offering under-the-table Elite visas in return for mammoth cash sums. Some abuses have been linked to corruption in Thai immigration and disreputable language schools enrolling absentee learners.2 points

A note for all Thailand Elite holders. Although there has been absolutely no notification from the Elite office, one of the legal firms authorized to handle Elite requests let the cat out of the bag last week when it stated the Elite programme is being revamped on Oct 1. The only info it contains is that the family visa is being dropped. Worse for those on the basic programme costing 600,000 baht for 5 years expecting a renewal for 15 years at 400,000 baht, it seems certain that renewal is either also being dropped or substantially modified. Try getting the Elite Visa hotline to confirm annything over the long holiday weekend and the operators were clueless. They had not even been briefed on changes. Then a number of blog sites have all written in recent days that the last date for applying and paying for existing Elite card programmes and extensions will in fact be August 15! With so many unknowns and the almost certainty of only 2 weeks formal notice of what seem to be very major changes, I have already heard from a number of furious Elite members - and I am presently in Taipei! Clearly something is about to change and it may happen very quickly. My only advice to those planning to apply for an Elite card or holding the basic 5 year card and hoping to renew is to get cash ready and stand by for a quick 15 year upgrade. I’ll post more info when Thai Elite finally get round to informing existing members.2 points

From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon Thailand regularly appears in the top ten destinations chosen by foreigners wanting to retire abroad. Unlike other south east Asian countries, Thailand does not offer a retiree visa as such but a number of choices aimed specifically or partially at this market. Non-immigrant “O” visa conversion This is the most popular route at present. A foreigner aged at least 50 enters the country with a visa exempt or tourist visa (30 or 60 days) and applies at local immigration to convert it to a three months non-immigrant “O” and thence to an annual extension of stay based on retirement. Typically, the financial requirement is 800,000 baht in a Thai bank or proof of monthly transfers to Thailand of at least 65,000 baht. The detailed bureaucracy varies in immigration offices nationwide and several embassies now refuse to get involved in certifying the creditworthiness of their own nationals. One big attraction for many of the non-immigrant “O” route is that, to date, medical insurance is not required and the paperwork is fairly straightforward. A foreigner with a foreign spouse will be treated as separate individuals and both must provide the financial guarantee. When leaving the country, re-entry permits must be obtained and the 90 days address reporting is in play. Applicants who are short of cash at the time of application or annual renewal are not forbidden from “borrowing” cash from third parties as the check is only on the amounts in the applicant’s bank book. The cost of the visa is 1,900 baht (US$60) assuming no extras have been accumulated along the way. Non-immigrant “O/A” long stay visa This is a 12 months visa offered by Thai embassies abroad to retiree applicants, with or without a multiple entry built in. The financial requirements are similar to the “O” extension of stay, but there are additional documents such as a medical certificate illustrating freedom from certain diseases. The visa can be renewed annually at Thai immigration offices. The big problem with the O/A option is that comprehensive medical insurance is required from day one and continues with every annual extension. The Thai Cabinet authorized an annual sum of US$100,000 or 3 million baht. Many retirees have tried to get rid of their O/A and change to “O” extension of stay, but this cannot be done without leaving the country and altering visa status overseas. The cost of OA annually is 1,900 baht (US$60) assuming all the documentation is in order. “O/X” ten year retiree visa This little-known option was introduced in late 2016 and offered a ten year multiple entry stay (actually 5×2 years) to retirees aged at least 50 in 14 countries including UK, US, Australia and some EU states. It was available at Thai embassies abroad and at immigration offices in Thailand. The visa never became airborne as the bureaucracy was complex, requiring a crime-free certificate from the home country and an investment of 3 million baht in a Thai bank. Options were available to include spouses and dependent children in the visa allocation. However, the visa did specify that working as a volunteer was OK although no detail was set out. Neither the immigration bureau nor the Thai Cabinet ever issued updates on the visa which is usually assumed to have been stillborn. The fee was 10,000 baht. The Elite visa Current enrolments are said to be around 30,000 all told. The Elite visa is not specifically aimed at retirees and there are no age bars. Although there are several variants, the most popular option is the five years, multi-entry choice currently available for a one-off payment of 600,000 baht and renewable. 10 and 20 year options with family guarantees are also available. Attractions for the retiree market include no need for medical insurance and no requirement to show updated bank account details every year. The visa also includes some special privileges such as fast-track at Thai airports which has been favorably reported by customers, particularly in the past year or so. Long Term Residence Introduced in 2022 by the Board of Investment, the LTR is a 10 year open visa designed to attract high spenders and investors from overseas. The four categories do include one specifically aimed at retirees over 50 which has so far attracted over 1,000 initial applications (32 percent of the total). The wealthy pensioner is expected to show a substantial regular income as well as evidence of investment such as Thai property or Thai bonds. All LTR applicants must show medical insurance. The overall idea is to encourage settlement by foreign millionaires. The LTR has not attracted the international interest originally anticipated and is perhaps best suited to economic experts and investors keen to take advantage of generous tax breaks. The enrolment fee is 50,000 baht and reporting to immigration is once a year rather than three-monthly. Conclusions For retirees, the cheapest and most flexible option is the annual extension of stay, although the Elite visa with its initial down payment and no further financial checks is increasingly being seen in a favorable light. The LTR and the stillborn “O/X” both suffer from complex enrolment bureaucracy and neither offers significant advantages to foreign retirees. None of the visas avoid the need for a work permit for regular employment, although side issues such as being a member of a condominium committee or helping to organize occasional sports or entertainment activities are no longer seen as breaches of the alien labour act. The biggest unknown is the future of medical insurance as a compulsory element in applications. At present, the most popular routes for retirees aged over 50 – the non immigrant “O” and Elite choices – have no such requirement. If that policy was changed and enforced, the proverbial cat would certainly appear amongst the pigeons. Older retirees are the expats whom insurance companies most want to avoid.1 point

Anal warts and anal fissures
ChristianPFC reacted to mirko for a topic
I’m a gay man on PrEP. I love bottoming, and am not using condoms for anal sex. And I have anal warts and a big problem with anal fissures (anal fissures are often found in the sexual life of gay people). Here’s my story. For a bit of context: I come from California and live in Bangkok. I am a gay man in my mid-30s, love to bottom, and have been taking PrEP for the last two years. While I don’t use condoms for anal sex, I get tested every three months and am very proactive in managing my risk for HIV and STIs. Needless to say, when I first learned I had anal warts, I was worried but didn’t think that I’d be treating them for over a year. Over that time, I’ve learned a lot about HPV, gained clarity around transmission and treatment, advocated for better treatment, and figured out how to talk about anal warts with sex partners. I hope that sharing my story, and what I’ve learned, is helpful to other people who experience anal warts. About my anal warts, anal fissures and treatment Before having anal sex I love to take time to prepare. This includes douching very gently and fingering myself to pre-lube. One day I could feel a certain texture within my ass, which felt different than the rest of the soft tissue inside. This is when I became worried that I might have a wart, and so I made an appointment to see my doctor. The warts were small and located on the anus (exterior) and in the anal canal (the interior area between the anus and the rectum). About a month later I would undergo laser surgery procedure, and two months later, warts returned. At that time I decided to switch to a new proctologist who began doing very small treatments, with a combination of CARPICON Suppositories and ISOPRINOSINE Tablets (to gain immunity against HPV which develops these warts. I was also prescribed a CARPICON cream (designed to boost the immune response to the area applied) which I apply twice per day on the anus and inside the anal canal area. My progress to date: two small wart areas have reduced to one, which continues to reduce in size with each treatment. Talking about topics related to sexual health is often uncomfortable. I’ve found that it’s been very important to find the right people to discuss my experiences (whether in person or online!) The greatest emotional relief came from people who replied with “I’ve had this too,” and began to share their experiences related to how their warts were discovered and treated. Continue to evolve your own safer sex practices One of the many ways I practice safer sex is to ask my sex partners, as often as possible, about sexual history. Over the years I’ve found ways to talk about taking PrEP, choosing not to use condoms, and also what it was like to have had gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes. Now I include genital warts in the discussion. When I tell people about having anal warts, I’ve received a range of responses. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how many people say they are already familiar with HPV and understand how easy it is to transmit. I’ve also heard from people who are uncomfortable or unsure about risks of genital warts and decide they do not want to have sex. I always accept their decision. Above all, I’ve found that being proactive and bringing up these topics helps both myself and other people practice how to talk about sexual health. A common reaction to the topic of genital warts is “well, you should have used condoms” or “we have to use condoms then.” It’s important to know that condoms are effective at preventing STI transmission in certain circumstances. HPV can also be transmitted during contact other than anal sex – such as kissing, fingering, and oral sex – when condoms are not used. When I first learned I had anal warts I was optimistic they could be treated once and be gone, but it hasn’t turned out that way. Through everything I have learned I am better able to accept the situation, and it no longer is a cause of anxiety.1 point -

If they're Republican, no, there is not one who isn't horrible ... because even if the candidate is somewhat "moderate" he/she has allegiance to an political party that hates the USA. Look at the GOP Congressional leadership, the majority of GOP Governors. It's a political party with policies that are hateful.1 point

I’ve stayed at the Ambience a few times over 20 years but stopped in about 2017 due to excessive noise from a late night karaoke bar at approx 3 am. However I tried the hotel again in June last year and after about midnight it was relatively quiet. But that was at the end of covid and things had not really got going, so maybe it’s back to “I did it my way” echoing down BT again. Perhaps a member knows ?1 point -

Are there any GOP candidates who aren't horrible?
stevenkesslar reacted to JKane for a topic
No, because except for Christie (who used to) all have to kiss Trump's ass for a chance to win the primary assuming he doesn't. So they can't say anything about the catalogue of reasons he shouldn't be the nominee so the assumption is he will so what's the point in them running?1 point -

There are a few Onlyfans creators on Twitter who frequent an outside toilet in Bangkok to make content. I believe I have found it but either need to travel up to Bangkok, or ask a local to check it out. It's in Bang Na.1 point -
Solution to Russian blocking of Ukrainian grain?

Zero chance? There are already more Russian deaths in Ukraine than in 10 years of Afghanistan.1 point -
Again: zero chance for this prediction to be true. There are HUGE differences in Afghan story and story of Ukrainian regions what became part of Russia already: There is no language barrier There is no overseas logistic - "next door country" There are a lot of loyal to Russia citizens who are not only applied and received Russian passports already, but also who working and/or cooperating with Russian administrations, non loyal citizens are minority on these territories.1 point

From Bangkok Post Parliament President Wan Muhamad Noor Matha has indefinitely postponed Thursday's planned joint sitting to vote for a new prime minister, pending a Constitutional Court ruling on the rejected renomination of Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat. Mr Wan said on Tuesday that he made the decision after consulting with legal officials of the House of Representatives and his advisers. They were of the view that if the prime ministerial vote went ahead on Thursday, it could potentially lead to problems when the Constitutional Court makes its ruling afterwards, the House speaker and ex-officio parliament president said. With Thursday's meeting posponted, Wednesday's planned meeting of whips from the coalition allies, other political parties and senators was now unnecessary, he said. Another reason for delaying the joint sitting was that many elected MPs and senators were worried they would not be able to attend ceremonies to celebrate His Majesty the King's birthday in their respective provinces on Friday if the sitting was prolonged, Mr Wan said. The joint sitting for a prime ministerial vote could be put back on the parliamentary agenda after the court's ruling. The parliament president earlier set Thursday for elected representatives and appointed senators to vote again for a new prime minister, possibly from Pheu Thai, the second largest party in the same alliance led by Mr Pita's MFP. MFP has agreed to let Pheu Thai take the lead in nominating a prime minister and forming the government. It also faces a challenge because many parties outside the coalition bloc disapprove of MFP’s political platform and plan to revise Section 112 of the Criminal Code, the lese majeste law. The eight parties in the coalition were scheduled to meet on Tuesday afternoon to hear a progress report from Pheu Thai. But the meeting was cancelled at the last minute, with Pheu Thai conceding it had little progress to report so far. Meanwhile, MFP insists it will continue its efforts to have Mr Pita installed as prime minister.1 point

From The Nation Protesters call on Pheu Thai to maintain coalition integrity Pro-democracy protesters gathered at the Ratchaprasong junction in Bangkok on Thursday, demanding the resignation of senators and that the eight-party coalition remains intact and maintains its stance on forming a government. Several groups of protesters including the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration, Mokeluang Rimnam, ThaluWang and People's Movement for a Just Society (P-Move), began demonstrating at 5pm. Protesters put up placards on the pedestrian bridge and sprayed messages on the road. They also staged a mock hanging from the pedestrian walkway in memory of the protesters who died during the demonstrations against the government led by former PM Abhisit Vejjajiva in 2010. Protesters urged senators to listen to the people's voice and Pheu Thai Party to maintain its stance on forming a democratic government with Move Forward Party. They also urged political parties and senators to stop thinking that amending the lese-majeste law aims to overthrow the monarchy, saying that it instead has the objective of seeking a fair and just solution for the country. If Pheu Thai betrays the coalition, it will face punishment from the people, said political activist Thatchapong Kaedam, adding that the party should strictly adhere to its stance to escape conservative parties' schemes. He added that former PM Thaksin Shinawatra and activists who fled Thailand to escape political charges had the right to return home, adding that all parties should respect the people's vote in a bid to prevent a repeat of the clashes between protesters and riot police at Din Daeng junction last year.1 point
