Well handled by the police officer..... Apologies to the guard..... Stupid, spoiled little girls....

Buy a bar..... Introduce pole dancing into your "hood"..... That'll give you immediate status & identity....

This is MaeYa waterfall about 3 weeks ago.... There's pools just below the main falls & in the stream below.... By the parking lot you can buy food & refreshments & sit with your feet in the flowing water or claim a rock to picnic in... On the way to Ob Luang there's a river you can splash around in.... There's a river through Pai with drive in access.... I wish there were more closer so I could take my dog swimming.....Mae Wang has river rafting & a national park with splashing areas....

They have no due diligence in study or in practice..... Coupled with no social skills.... They take whatever programming that is shoveled at them as gospel & live on a very shallow level..... It's precisely true, the government wants a dumbed down, zombie like population to control (one reason they allow recreational marijuana in many places)..... Prescient thinkers are trampled & shouted down by a tsunami of programmed lemmings..... Courtesy of the social media's task masters....

They deport him = they lose him....I doubt that they let him keep his passport.... By keeping him around there's time to build other cases or connections, possibly involving more crimes.... Does anyone know if there are charges lodged against his wife?

Running a sanctuary/foundation & bragging/shouting about paying 1,000,000฿ a month for his villa lease..... The first thought that struck me was money laundering....

Most of those, away from the violent acts, probably routinely take place on any given day.....

In the few times I've been around the monkey havens they've been unwatched, huge numbers, waiting to snatch/grab anything that might get their attention..... They're not cute & can be intimidating if you have a family/group to watch out for that catches their attention.... Even to the point of them jumping onto the hood of the car while we were trying to drive away....Sling shots are better than euthanizing them or paint ball guns..... At the places I've been it's clearly their territory....

We found the Banana store on the 3rd floor in Airport Plaza to have some good deals.... I'm not sure if they have a sister store near you....If in Central Festival you might want to look for that name.....

Maybe broadcast only in Myna keys??? 🎹🎹 OK OK - I'm going

Get some of these....They minimize the whirly knotting....I got them at Big C.....They also have them through Lazada.....About 7-10฿ each..... Usually sold in 4 packs at the store....

We have Samsung TV's, a Samsung refrigerator, & washing machines, water heaters.....When we went to a bigger capacity washer we passed the old one along to family.... They've been trouble free for 10+ years ..... We dumped the Samsung phones for Oppos (8 over the years) & never looked back - experiencing zero problems with Oppo as opposed to the Samsung phones that didn't perform well once over a year old.....I do get Samsung phones for prepay usage when we are stateside .....The latest one performed well, but painfully slow to use - but purchased basically for only a one time use and discard..... Different people = different results....

I haven't really noticed this....I don't live in a touristy area + I've been in the area long enough to become a "local" (known entity) = that can work both ways..... It's possible that with some groups the TIT folks are recently trying to attract - Chinese/Indian/Russian have the locals at a defensive posture..... Having a farang physically attack & kick a Thai woman Dr. away from his villa makes all of us suspect..... Headlines none of us need..... I was told about it by my Thai neighbors before I saw it online....

Ahh - fond memories of hwy 50, "the loneliest highway in the world"......We took it - starting from Reno, heading to St. George, Utah..... Mile after mile of desolation.....Brown land untouched by water, no lakes or streams, nothing green....No cattle, no birds on fences or in flight, no animals, jack rabbits - nothing - no traffic, and no signs of life.....We stopped to make lunch in a parking lot of a broken down motel = no cars parked, but people watching through the windows; you could see & feel it - dueling banjos creepy in the middle of nowhere..... Hundreds of miles between rudimentary service stops & no cell service.....Driving along I thought I saw a sign for the St. George turn off at a slight fork in the road....I asked my wife and she said no..... We wound up traveling 220 miles further to the north ending up closer to Salt Lake City than St. George..... So, we saw about 220 more miles worth of Hwy 50 than we wanted.... It still comes up in conversation when we are near desolate sites.....

Yes, I wish I had held onto my Dan Wesson .357 & companion Marlin .357 carbine....Those were my 2 favorites..... I've had a few other guns along the way.... We ended our last trip in Texas (family) & I went gun perusing but lacked the necessary time in state..... On our next trip I will pick up a couple to have as we RV around along with any necessary permits.....I have the models picked out....Throughout our trip to 8-9 states I spotted many open carries = it didn't bother me one bit..... If I'd had any, I probably would have done more boondocking. ....The only semi useful things I had were kitchen knives, a survival knife, a machete, and a fire extinguisher..... My wife supports the idea of available firearms & questioned why we didn't have one..... We were, at times, in the wide open spaces as far as the eye could see in any direction.....

I've bought many 100% cotton T shirts through Lazada that are holding up well....No messages, but I've ordered in the colors that match the days of the week.... They're perfect for wearing at home but would be fine to wear out & about (I prefer to wear a polo shirt style when venturing out).....

It only takes a few visits there to imagine island fever..... It is pretty the first few times..... Admittedly, I grew up just a short drive from the NORCAL coast so the beaches might not hold the same allure for me as it might for someone that's never experienced an ocean....

With the advent of social media & smart phones, as well as political toxicity, dinner parties with real participation & interesting conversation with charming companions have gone the way of the Dodo bird....

We booked EVA - CNX to SFO & IAH to CNX.....They code shared the departure from IAH to UAL & that was the only leg that had problems causing a 2 day delay....The EVA flights were seamless + they provided two nights of 4 Star accomodations & meals to offset the UAL delays..... In fairness, the UAL leg was hampered by a huge weather front....However, there was no way UAL came even close to the proficiency, or experience of flying EVA.... We left CNX in Sept 23 & returned Jan 24.....

I always wondered why such an abrupt, quiet departure from CM Immigration - then off the radar for a few years.... None of it trumpeted loudly like at first when he was in the news everywhere....

We usually RV in the US.... That capability takes the sting out of travel.....We used a hotel for an overnight layover flying both ways....One way was planned in Taiwan, coming home wasn't; as weather delayed our arrival 2 days.... Out of LOS to US can be 3-6 months & it would take years to try and cover the different regions of the country.....Inside Thailand, up to a week or longer depending on extended family involvement....If on our own 3-5 days seems the norm....Out of country - Paris was 8 days + travel to/from....

No - I have been a fill in bouncer at a well known North Hollywood CW bar = fortunately mostly unchallenged ..... Although I had to disarm a situation involving a 44 magnum when I just happened to be there, mainly because I was standing behind the guy that he was aiming at across a pool table.....The bullet would have gone through both of us.... One time in Napa I tossed a guy out the front door by his collar & belt that was blindsiding other patrons punching them as their backs were turned - he was picking & choosing who to bully.... I'm not really sure why I ran him & settled the situation, it was just a reactionary experience.....I got an ovation & free drinks for the effort.... Little did the guy know that the woman I was there with was crazier & more dangerous than he could ever be .....She was dynamite in the sack though.....But, she's a story for another time.....

Stay clear of Putin...

100% truth there....Just like the handsome man syndrome here.....

Yes - during my time here.... However - we returned last month from 4 months RVing stateside.....I got hit on a few times there while shopping.....I must have had that new man in town "look"...... At 76 it was completely unexpected.....
