  Just googled "memory boosting diet" as I need one & it does seem there are foods that can boost your memory! Will try. Many thanks!

He obviously needs some basic driving lessons & learn to indicate before pulling out into traffic. 

Portable aircon is not a good option.

Aircon technology/efficiency has improved considerably.

Yearly service (฿300-700) & 6month filter clean (DIY see utube)  -they get dirty when aircon is not being used- saves money.

  Using 1 aircon instead of 2 where possible does reduce the humidity & cost.

 Using a fan in conjunction with aircon lets me reduce my aircon setting by 2℃.

 I am waiting to justify changing my York aircon`s for Daikin's, a brand worth considering when buying.

What a shame the taxi driver was not included in the photo, pointing his finger at the cement truck.

What a Donut.

I hear more and more European Countries are banning him from entry.

I hope to get to see him so I can pat his little head.

Which are you ?

" A weary traveler was trudging along a dusty road, thinking about where he could spend the night. Far off in the distance, he saw the towering walls of a city, and he wondered if this would be a good place to seek hospitality.

As he approached the city, he saw a sage sitting under a tree.

"Tell me, good sir," said the traveler. "Do you know this city?"

"Indeed I do," said the sage.

"Then perhaps you could tell me what kind of people live here?"

"I certainly can," said the sage. "But first tell me what kind of people live in your own city."

"My own city?" said the traveler, his eyes shifting back over his shoulder. "It is an evil place. The people are nasty. They watch you all the time with suspicious eyes, and they whisper about you behind your back. Stay away if you know what's good for you."

"Well, I am afraid you are out of luck, my friend," said the sage. "Unfortunately, you will find exactly the same kind of people here."

A short while later, a second traveler approached the city. He too saw the sage under the tree and decided to inquire about the inhabitants.

"I will be glad to tell you," said the sage. "But first tell me what kind of people live in your own city."

"My own city?" said the second traveler. "It is such a wonderful place. The people are kind and considerate. They are always eager to help each other in any way they can."

"I'm happy to tell you, my young friend," said the sage, "that you have come to the right place. Those are just the kind of people you will find here. I think you will find this city a most compatible place."

which are you ?

PS. I posted this so have dibs on the sage !

My wife and I left via Bankok airport Sunday 11th. Both 1 day over ; Passport control noticed but let us through without extra charge.

Without a referendum just where is the proof that any new constitution has mass acceptance?

It quite clearly states "the CDC members will be visiting people in each part of the country to gather public opinions and will also listen to opinions from different sectors including the cabinet and the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)

This is going to be as honest and transparent as the recent polls showing the PM is the best, the most popular, the fairest that Thailand has ever had. His popularity is not equalled in any country outside North Korea.

So don´t worry....... be happy!

Perfect police, a perfect army,a perfect PM running a perfect government.

With everything so peachy I feel next years TAT slogan should read

"PERFECT THAILAND"

Lawyer Aung Myo Thant said the pair, Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Htun, both 21, from the Arakanese town of Kyaukphyu, told a Burmese embassy legal team they had murdered English tourists

Speaking to DVB on Monday, Kyaw Thaung, a representative of the Myanmar Association in Thailand, who attended the interview with the defendants, said, “We went to the prison [on Koh Samui] and were allowed to meet with the two freely. They confessed to committing the crime under the influence of alcohol.

I am going to keep an open mind for the moment

Two migrant workers from Myanmar reportedly recanted their confessions today, telling a lawyer from the Burmese embassy they did not kill David Miller and Hannah Witheridge last month on Koh Tao.

Attorney Aung Myo Thant from the Burmese Embassy made his comments after meeting with the two men, Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Htun, who Thai police said had confessed to the crime.

In Burmese media reports, the lawyer said the two men told him they only confessed because they were forced to under torture.

"They told me that they were on the beach that night drinking and singing songs,” he said. “They said they didn't do it, that the Thai police (along with their Burmese-Thai translator) beat them until they confessed to something they didn't do. They're pleading with the Burmese government to look into the case and find out the truth. They were a really pitiful sight. Their bodies had all sorts of bruises. I have already reported all that I have seen today to my government."

Aung Myo Thant characterized it as a “set up” that wasn’t based on evidence.

He added that he was denied access to a third suspect originally detained, Maung Maung, because police said he is “a crucial witness” they do not want interference with.

Meanwhile Thai police authorities today said they’d met with Myanmar representatives who were “satisfied” with the results of their investigation.

"The result, however, is more often than not counterproductive, since the accusations of foul play tarnish the reputation of the country in question. The medals achieved by such deception represent nothing but a victory for self-delusion and are certainly nothing to be proud of."

What wise words from The Nation.

Lets hope the PM and new government take note.

The taxidrivers should learn english and learn how to drive safe.

Safer driving would be nice, but "should" learn English or even Russian or Chinese is not something I´d expect of a much more expansive european Taxi.

Best not to even try and tell a Parisian taxi driver what he or she should learn. Oh La La !

Got nothing to do with martial law, but people are getting fed up with the fake smiles, double-pricing, dangerous roads, a policeforce corrupt beyond belief and a in general quite violent society!!

Get your house in order, and people will come back!

In picking his cabinet, I guess the good general could not have been expected to get it right every time. Dearie me. But this idea won't be heard of again.

I think his choice was spot on.

This is a great idea I particularly like the idea of being paired with a buddy who could show them what to see and hear. also explain why the Junta had to overthrow a democratically elected government , also teach Thai style democracy to ignorant tourists. They could also let the ladies know if they were unattractive enough to wear a bikini.

This like many other great ideas this one is not new.I am sure this is based on a policy Russia used in the 50´s and 60´s which was very successfully run by the KGB.

These new policies are going to be an apollo 1 boost to the Thai tourist industry.

I am hoping the PM is going to include these electronic devices into one of his soaps which I am eagerly awaiting.

Have the others attending these meetings been warned that he does not want to be asked any awkward or difficult questions ?

"I'm sorry that it hurt people," Prayut said at a hastily convened press conference in Bangkok.

"I didn't intend to insult or criticise anyone. I just warned that sometimes people have to be careful... today Thailand is safe except there are some bad guys -- like anywhere in the world."

He never said he was sorry or regretted his bikini remarks.

The cause for increase of earthquakes Promiscuous women are responsible for earthquakes, a senior Iranian cleric has said. Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi told worshippers in Tehran last Friday that they had to stick to strict codes of modesty to protect themselves. "Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society which increases earthquakes," he said.

Sadly it seems Prayut and cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi think alike.

Anyway 90% of helmets on sale in Thailand are just useless when riding a motorbike. They look more as bicycle helmets

Even if they wore bicycle helmets, it would be a giant step in the right direction.

Forget John Doe's battery pack...after watching this documentary last week, I will not be flying the B787 when a scientist from MIT says Boeing's fix for their lithium-ion battery fires isn't enough. If you don't have an hour to spend watching..just the first 10 minutes is enough to see what a 787's lithium-ion battery is capable of.

Thanks for the link. Wow!

This is worth seeing if your about to book a flight.

If you have already booked a flight on a 787 it would be best not to watch until the flight is over.

I´m beginning to understand what " Democracy Thai style" means. I hope nobody asks him difficult questions as PM as he does not like that .

No, if you get someone to help you read the article they will tell you that nowhere does it say she was a red shirt. She was a nurse.

Exactly it was never told, as in covered up for the public eyes, to make Abhisit look more bad.

You're not gonna tell me that it is a coincidence that her brother is now at once a red shirt LEADER.

Please, Abhisit doesn't need anyone's help to look bad, he manages this very well with some help from his masters.

Her brothers views are his alone.

No, if you get someone to help you read the article they will tell you that nowhere does it say she was a red shirt. She was a nurse.

So, the nurse was actually a member of the red shirts .
