And what would you do faced with a lengthy prison sentence in Klong Prem? Ever been there? Ever visited? My friend did 2 1/2 years in that hell hole. PTSD on release and deportation.

I asked you to back up your claim about your neighbour's grandson. I suggest you just made up the whole story. Got a grudge?

What's with the sure(.)sure?

Liar! I'm outing you as a total bs artist. I don't believe a word of your rubbish. Neighbour's grandson in prison? On what charges?

I'm going to have to ask you to back up what you say about casualties from the protest movement. So the poor little darlings were led astray you reckon. Classic authoritarian rhetoric. It was just a few who led them all astray. No way. They were all pixxed off. All in it together. They made their own minds up.

Sure, but how many have you checked? How many is it possible to check without visiting every single condo in Thailand? We're talking nationally, not just locally. And as somebody pointed out, the figures will vary wildly. I imagine CBRE manage the high end of the market. Maybe they have access to data we don't. There's been no challenge to their observations as far as i know. No ministry has objected. Probably completely clueless but the idea looked attractive. Just like all their badly researched ideas. Also, this would be crucial data for construction firms to consider. What's selling, and to whom.

And what about you? Are you waiting on a minimum 5 year prison sentence on trumped up bs charges? Ready to let these fxxxers ruin your life? Cue the usual bs about he knew the law blah blah blah. Run, Forrest, run!

Yeah. Good luck mate. See you on the other side.

Indeed, nothing.

As in Julian?

Cue the confused and sad illiterates

Fair enough. But what "figures" to trust? Your observations are probably as good as any real estate agents in the area. But somewhere there has to be a record of quota uptake in order to monitor it. Does condo management have to report this stuff, if they have access to it? My little old condo in Pratamnak is oversubscribed by foreigners. I believe the figure is about 55-45% in "favour" of foreigners. Brown envelopes at land registry go a long way. Luckily my daughter is Thai so ...

Great music and literature since 1990? Or even 1950? Under Putin, nothing. And ballet? Didn't Nureyev defect while touring with the Bolshoi? Yes, i think so. I'm 1974 Solzhenitsyn was stripped of his Soviet citizenship for The Gulag Archipelago, and exiled, having already spent 8 years in the gulags and in internal exile for criticizing Stalin. He moved with his family abroad. To America! Imagine that. Putinistas are remarkable for their complete and utter ignorance of Russian and/or Soviet history. Some have read maybe a 19th century Russian short story, listened to a piece by Stravinsky. But that's it. The Swiss? This is tedious.

'Sup? 1 I'm sure all languages have colloquiallisms for common phrases.

It's 2 words in Thai, Tam (do) aray (what). In Tagalog, 3 Anong ginagawa mo In English, 4.

Hi An acquaintance wants to send $ from the US to me in Thailand. If Wise is unavailable, is this a good option? I know nothing about how it works. Is Wise easily available in the US? My friend has a community bank, or some such.

Load na dito - phone top up here. Unli - unlimited as in unlimited rice, sugary drink Guapa, guapo - beautiful, m/F Bola Bola - crazy Oh oh or just oh - yes That's it.

What's your source?

A witness to what? A hygienic kitchen?

There are about 27 languages in use in Philippines. People from adjacent islands often can't understand each other unless they use Tagalog which is a kind of pan Philippines dialect, standard like central Thai. I might try a course as I'll probably bevherexaxwhile. I find listening to Filipinas fast talking hilarious. And boy, can they can talk fast. But their reputation for being the nightingales of SE Asia I'm afraid really doesn't cut any ice with me anymore. So many duff karaoke singers! Almost as bad as Thailand.

Let's see. Today's Tuesday. So your birthday was sometime over the weekend? Just kidding. But I see no reason to assume what you're suggesting to be true.

I wouldn't be so sure. I've never been in a fast food kitchen, but a pound note to a pinch of shxt says they're horrid. You look at the glossy pics of big fat burgers and nicely rounded buns (yea, nicely rounded buns, I say) and think yeah I'll have some of that for 95 THB or whatever and you end up with 2 soggy slices of white shxte "bun" and a piece of something in between that could be dog, could be cat, could be anything. All smeared with sweet mayo from a massive dispenser that squirts it out with a slurp and a burp. Yeah, slurp and burp sums it up for me.

He's innocent of all charges. My hero Hakparn. Smear smear and smear again. It's their only form of defense.

Elsewhere, CBRE reported the hike to 75% was sheer PR, aka BS, as very few condos get near the 49% quota uptake. They said the maximum was around 40%, with many foreigner quotas remaining seriously unfilled. From a source that can't be named.

I once visited a Macdonald in Philippines that had run out of burgers! Reminds me of the old joke about Irish restaurants closing for lunch.
