No need to spot forest fires in northern Thailand , just look up at the mountain from your window, its on fire everywhere

Just received approval email from Thai Pass after 5 days wait . No snafoo's in the filling out of the forms as I took note from some of the issues other appliers on Asean Now posted . All documents were jpeg , single page and followed Thaipass guide lines . Took about three hours in the morning . No refusals , blocks or second attempts needed . Maybe the bugs were picked out . Looking forward to enjoying Thailand without all of the tourist entertainment / vices taking away from the real Thai lifestyle . Expect the covid jump to occur when the bars open up and the parties start .........

I have never watched someone suffocating but I imagine that there would be great a struggle and resistance which would become less and less as the person is dying . For sure the police were pushing this man to the limit hoping to extract a confession . They didn't want him to die before the confession was given . I don't think it was premeditated but the end result was the same . I'm waiting for an reinactment of the crime with Joe in the hot seat

I guess it's back to the backpackers where it all started

I met Mr. Eco , a Karen hilltribe elder , when he "sold" me an abandoned rice field tucked in a mountain valley 3 hrs north of Chiang Mai on a highway to nowhere . He raised 5 children on those rice fields , never had a "job" , spoke little Thai , one pair of shoes , worlds biggest smile but fewest teeth and built his home from bamboo and mud from the field that fed his family . We didn't share many words between us but I was always invited to sit and have a cup of herbal tea with him and his chickens when I walked past his empire .. At 84 he still had the habit of picking up a hoe and head to the rice field " just to tidy things up ". I believe this man was the most content person I have yet to meet and as far as being happy , that sparkle in his eye revealed a life lived fully , even though that life was contained on 15 rai . I do hope someday I will be brave enough to trust my hands and wit and the abundance of the land to meet my needs not how much money I have in the bank .

If they really want to catch this murderer maybe round up all the officers in his department and have them try on a few plastic bags . The one who first gives the correct answer gets the lambo. The rest of the estate goes to the dealers family . No need to deals drugs anymore .......
