Yes I think they are making a huge fatal political mistake continuing to associate with disgraced Takki. Their movement and support has been severely damaged because of that. If they wanted to make a real change, they would create a new real people power movement on the lines of what happened in the Philippines, and completely divorce themselves from the albatross. Also, no more violent street actions a la Black Songkran and no ping pong bombs. Also blocking a sitting PM from visiting a major Thai city with murder threats, even though they oppose him, is sickening and radically anti-democratic, and not something a REAL ethical people power movement would need to do.

So in your world this guy the boogey man

Early USA was colonized by violent Brits who revolted against Britain. The longest experiment with absolute Christian-pacifist government ended when violence-loving British took over William Penn's colony and started wars with the natives.

US consulate was prudent to advise its citizens. We are not far from a Thai civil war.

Typing this from a soi on lower Sukumvit: you couldn't pay me to live here.

A pain in the arse?

Friendly advice from an oldish man who's had 4 crashes, 2 surgeries and 2 strokes in Thailand: don''t ride unless you're in perfect health, and don't buy used.

Thanks, everybody. I guess they'll fly a Learjet to Costa Rica, and then the Airbus will refuel at Winnipeg. Just too far from San Jose to Xantara. Not essential to go nonstop after all.

The passengers are Martin Miller, 2 princes from Xantiak, and a transgendered hair stylist.

I'm already intrigued!!! Can't wait to read!

The Dukes. Form sponsor.

I second The Dukes if you are after the best food. If you want a river view, go to Riverside. but the food there is just so-so.

Thought the music/dvd offering on the TV was soooo boring, Sinatra and Cliff really don't float my boat!

Would have been better to have had old UK sitcoms or such like playing (imho)

You can rent for 6000, or even less, or much more. Condo, house, apt. prices overlap. I commuted 35 km each way, which was too far - but I didn't want to live where I worked.

Congrats, MaejoMan. Quality beats quantity. 3.000 isn't shabby.

Most TEFL schools used to get their student a 12-month B visa.

I am writing a story in which an Airbus flies non-stop with only 4 passengers. Can they go 9,000 nautical miles without refueling? Thanks.

Let's give el kangorito a star rating.

The OP states "the overnutrition rate among students in the Thai capital has been increasing continuously from 9.55 per cent in 2005 to 10.43 per cent in 2008." Is that even true? Is it significant? What caused the increase? Politics?

Is the Thai-USA Treaty of Amity currently in effect?

AKA - also known as.

I guess we can call him Takki Shinegra now.

Can't find the Mexican foto of my Suzuki GN250. The top box said "Ferrari," with the sticker glued to a blue Pepsi case.

Did you get arrested for displaying those subversive sticker on your Yammie, PB ?

We had six kids, almost all of them breastfed forever. We stopped having sex in the last month, and started again during month two.

I don't confront Thais. I do learn where they're likely to ride the yellow line before the green light comes on. I've gone that way at times, too.

It's next to Chiang Mai Ram - the former Sritokyo Hotel.

With terrible hand coordination, I did my best to edit over 20-some posts containing lots and lots of politics. Further discussion of moderation in this thread earns warnings and suspensions.

Thank you.

I could care less.

Talking of the Brit-Yank divide... you Yanks say "I could care less" when you should be saying "I couldn't care less" (which is what us Brits say), because if you could care less about something else then it implies that you do care just a teensy-weensy little bit about it.

But if you could not care less about something, then that the subject is totally devoid of any semblance of care emanating from you.

So the Brits are right and the Yanks are wrong.

I rest my case.

The Chinese guy ways "I'm Wong. You're wrong.

I wrest my suitcase.
