Do three things for three months to see your gut the same size it was when you were 19.

1. Cease consuming all sugar or anything that contains sugar.

2. Cease consuming 90% of the carbohydrates you currently consume.

3. Drink more wine.  Don't ask me why.

The way gov'ts (all) waste your tax dollars, they need new ways to collect more.  I'm waiting for the 'air' tax, based on your weight and how much you breathe yearly.

 

They've taxed everything else, and usually multiple times.  Income, water, petrol, utilities, food, dry goods, land, house, personal property, even carbon tax ????.  If not directly, then manufacturers & businesses and it trickles down to the price tag and you're the one paying in the end.

 

No kiss, no KY

 

Even tax your estate when you die ... <deleted>  

Taxed after death, on something you already got taxed to death on while acquiring.

 

Saddest part is ... they still can't balance a budget ????

 

 

Don't worry, balancing a budget is not a part of socialist doctrine.  They just keep taxing and spending until they run out of other people's money.

Only when everybody has an equitable sized hovel to live in and are all starving equally will the socialist utopia be achieved. 

Has Prayut changed his management style?

I'm liking this new "sorted?", "sorted!" with no wink necessary attitude.

Interesting thread. 

I've had similar problems to all those mentioned - and while my brain tells me that science is a universal fact, my heart tells me that electrickery in Thailand somehow manages to conform to non-scientific principles.

Without government subsidies modern rail logistics only ever (kind of) works if you're hauling huge volumes over huge distances on a routine schedule and the products are moving directly from producer to consumer.  i.e  coal or ore from a mine directly to a steel manufacturer.

The irony of hub to hub train transport is that each hub requires trucks at each end to deliver the container/cargo.  You will never eradicate or even considerably reduce the trucks on the road unless every delivery point has a rail siding.   And while that may be a train enthusiasts wet dream come true, it's never happened in the history of the world.

Never heard of them so I duckduckgo'd them.  If their products are as well made and reliable as their website, good luck.

I can't wait to see the movie.

Good luck to the OP. 

My condo has an English version of the regulations.  It reads as though the Thai  translator learned their English from another Thai who learned it from an Italian who learned it from a Ukranian, who learned it from a Nepalese etc. The Chinglish translation for your recently purchased electronic device is easier to understand.

You get the impression that the original English speaker was 7 iterations earlier and he/she probably hailed from Newcastle or the Florida swamps.

Lots of sex addicts on the BTS now. Funny, they come all that way and risk much for nothing.

 

Often have a dusky, plump, unattractive Thai woman in tow.

 

All get off at Nana or lower Sukhumvit.

 

Flip flops, beach clothes in a big city. Spot them yards away.

Short sighted?

These are the occasions when the closest Thai Moto-Sai Taxi Mafia are called in.  He must have done a quick runner to avoid them or the girl wasn't quick enough to alert them.

I've bought stuff on Evilbay and they use the pre-paid customs service as part of their global shipping - I think they use DHL.

Had probably ten items come through from the US and UK with no problems from Thai customs.  Value ranged from US100 to US5,000 and were as small as a watch movement to as big as a kitchen rubbish bin.

Why do nearly all Thai politicians have faces like a burglar?

The secret is in the wording.  "Serve" does not mean "cook/prepare".  

I'd make up a menu for the closest cheapo food stall and have punters order a 20B serving of noodles (or whatever) to be discounted off the bin if you spend north of 200B.  Increase the price of beer by 5B to offset the cost.

For the punters who actually want a real meal, just swipe a menu from McD's and offer that.

Don't clear away the plate of leftovers (because the BIB like tangible evidence they can see, feel, touch, and possibly eat)  and the punter can happily drink all night after his "meal".

Sorted with virtually zero cash outlay, no stock to rot or waste, no additional staff, and a few plates and cutlery to wash.

I'm amazed that anybody still thinks the last 18+ months of global wealth reallocation and ideologically driven power grabs has anything remotely to do with health.

Even the girls at my local bar get the joke - they refer to this dreaded new humanity extinction level variant as Ohmygod.
