God your old.

I remember coming out the tunnel thinking - GOD, this place AGAIN....welcome back to the Circus/Madhouse of the Milky Way.

You'd be an oddity now in UK, no masking indoors since I came back over last September.

Any photo op. now to show they are more serious about over-stays...getting the word out through free press. Let's see how it rolls with the ruskies, and if they start to overstay in large numbers..the'd be stupid to, best to move on to another country vs getting deported back to the cannon fodder front lines.

Wore a 3M mask N95 both in UK and in Thailand since start of covid...never got any noticeable covid till late 2022 and believe me, anything going, any season before all this masking I got it and bad...no such luck as asymptomatic...I get felled with any respitory bug going around. Dumped masks arriving back in UK 6 months ago and have had two awful 2 weeks+ covid bouts...this after 3x vax doses over 1.5 years...the effect of covid was still super rough. I won't be going back to masking though, after being vaxxed and getting it. Based on my history of picking up respitory illnesses and zero covid symptoms till I stopped the masking, for me anyway masking seemed to definetly work. I would though maybe wear an N95 on a motorbike in future just to block a bit of the airbourne pollution. So don't assume masking on motorbikes is about covid as people masked up for pollution before, though perhaps not in the numbers we saw after covid.

Classy.

If the judge is woke - you are neither black/white/male/female...you are just an all-categories neutral floating free-spirit and can expect 100% impartiality.

Book that final capstone in for 2035 just in time for covid-36.

Welcome to the jungle.

"The bullet did not kill him, it was the hole." "There are no prostitutes in Pattaya."

It's in all Thai beer...long-standing agreement.

I mean no more 90 for long-stay type visas.

Brainwave to take pressure of immigration offices... 90 days tourist visa stamp by default like Malaysia and no more 90-reporting <deleted>.

It was deadpan humour commentary 'bro'... As guys approach Pattaya bargirl-onomics takes over the mind....= 200 baht saving over Bkk..."Ooh, one step closer to BF out some hottie."

some kind of beer ?

tell that to his arm-pit.

I'd go for UTP. You are 200 Baht closer to clearing the bar fine than from BKK.

Yip, that's the one....bus station will be a nightmare in rainy season...good to know. Passed through it getting bus to new train station north-side last year.

Is the bus station in Vientiane still a mud pit or have they moved the redevelopment further on since mid-2022 ? Just curious...

I'd have thought the cops would have been all over that cash cow of weed smell in public....follow their nose to a spot fine....strange stuff.

Presidential candiates should pass a forensic banking test to assess their compromisability....along with an IQ and ethics test. There would I guess be no-one to fill the slot of president then in US or probably most leader positions in world.

A computer server farm is heating a local swimmming pool in UK in a first. Obvious once its done, but not until. So many closed due to heating costs in recent times. These synergy solutions should emerge more..eco space use...hot/cold...cold/hot etc.

if a Shinawatra gets in to office, it will probably be all over regardless of opinions.

My vote goes to the one in blue out of that lot. The winner looks like my old barista - and that means just average.
