Jomtien Air 086-889-9001.

292.1 million equates to 800,000 arrivals every day.

Either somebody put the decimal point in the wrong place, or getting a taxi out of Swampy will be nigh on impossible.

Yorkshire puddings are essential.

Coincidence, I had to dodge around a group of 4 in the middle of the road just yesterday. 

Is dodging an option?

Thread header should be "Sadomasochist seeks other Sadomasochists to play with - skirts optional".

Buy a cheap pressure gauge and check the pressure after the Thai numpty has blown them up to rock hard at 65psi. Then simply release the excess air in several stages to achieve your required pressure.

The Thai numpty science logic assumes that tyres naturally lose pressure, so inflating rock hard means your tyres will stay inflated for longer.

I run mine at the recommended pressures, but take off 3psi in the wet season.

EDIT:  Forgot to add regarding your mobility, keep the gauge under the scooter seat and get the numpty to check the pressure under your supervision.  If you don't know the Thai for the appropriate numbers, learning them isn't difficult.

We live in dystopian times. Not sure if its 1984 or Brave New World - probably a combination of both.

The ever decreasing birth rates around the world are probably the biggest threat to the survival of humanity. Eventually the despots that rule us will realise their fiefs are declining and the serfs are not reproducing themselves.

The dystopian solution is obvious - enforced birth rate targets and eventually, enforced pregnancy. The government will seize your daughter and turn her into a breeding sow for 20 years.

Think it can't happen? Think again.

There's a world-wide debt crisis and the proverbial will be hitting the fan Q1 2024. The only remaining question is whether the Kabal decide to get us out of it with an inflationary, or deflationary recession. Either way, it won't be pretty.

If they go inflationary by printing money to replace the written-off debt (essentially an international bank bail-out), expect 1980's level inflation. 

If they go deflationary by allowing the debt (cash) to be removed from the M2, you might be able to pick up a Lambo for the previous price of a small Singha.

Will they provide seating and popcorn for this debacle event, and where does one purchase tickets?

We can only assume the "lifeguards" are suitably qualified. i.e They can swim?

Fortnight is a handy word.

The good professor has a sense of humor. Hope he does the same thing on St. Paddy's day.

Reading the article, it appears the alleged slur was spoken in Thai language (“I can understand Thai. He scolded me so clearly: “Ni**a! Get up!...).

I wonder if the actual N word was spoken in the English vernacular, or if some Thai language equivalent was spoken. It also begs the question if the referee correctly understood the (English language) racial implications of his use of the word.

Personally, I've never heard a Thai use the word and I don't think they understand it - they usually revert in reference to a Cadbury or Hershey's product.

If a Thai bloke is telling me something in mixed Thai/English language, and I indicate my understanding by uttering  "I hear", in which language should the listener interpret the utterance?
