The World’s Deadliest Infectious Disease Is About to Get Worse
phetphet replied to placeholder's topic in Political Soapbox
It's not just the US that provides funds to either find a cure or prevent the spread of these diseases. Many other countries do so as well. In fact it is beholden of most governments to do so to protect their own citizens against future outbreaks, and for the US to stop such aid is to leave it's own citizens at risk of exposure. It only takes one person to bring a disease into a country, and it doesn't have to be an immigrant. Tuberculosis can ruin many young lives, and I certainly wouldn't like to see it take hold again. -
What are you cooking today? (2025)
phetphet replied to black tabby12345's topic in Western Food in Thailand
It's too hot for hot food, so I made a Peri Peri chicken and pasta salad, with apple and grapes in a low fat mayonnaise. -
One can enjoy the same sunset for far cheaper than the Intercontinental from several bars and restaurants in Bangrak. Or from the Big Buddha Temple. Obviously, the Inter is far more luxurious, but pretty much anywhere on the west coast will have great views of the sunset, and this time of year there are some great ones.

Portugal’s Immigration Boom Sparks Political Upheaval
phetphet replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It was bound to happen. Unchecked immigration into any country is bound to upset the locals eventually. The strain on public services and the inevitable shortage of housing effects the locals the most. -

Do the Police here breathalyse drivers after accidents as a matter of course? -

I wonder if it was left handed, right handed or ambidextrous. -
RAF Faces Pilot Shortage After Unlawful Diversity Drive Backfires
phetphet replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Perhaps many people are not willing to put their lives on the line and fight for a country they no longer recognise as their own. I suspect the UK government will have recruiting problems for all the UK armed forces. Still. They have a large pool of "boat experts" they can tap for the Navy.- 49 replies

Is it possible Trump is trying to sabotage the world economy?
phetphet replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
I was watching a show today where the guest said that the US is busy repatriating all their gold from around the world. Currently over 8,500 tons So much so that it is creating shortages which is driving the price up.. He also said that US gold is for some reason only valued around $42/oz, and that he reckons Trump's plan is not only to have it revalued at today's market price which almost at $3000/oz, but to use it to create a partially gold backed Dollar to pre-empt the BRICS plan to do the same with their currencies. He stated that if true, Trump would be able to pay off the US national debt. So there still might be some method to DT's madness. -
Cruise Tourism Poised for Expansion with Koh Samui Terminal
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
It's big money for the minibus drivers. A van full of tourists who want to see the island, but only a short time to do it. So the van drivers get booked for the whole day. I have a friend who drives his own minibus. I cannot book him when the cruise ships are in. When they finish that bridge, I think it will be time for me to move elsewhere. Once the pandemic finished, the island changed, and not for the better. It is far busier than it ever was, and the infrastructure here can't handle it as it is. Let alone the numbers that will come with a direct land link. -
Cruise Tourism Poised for Expansion with Koh Samui Terminal
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Lovely. If two boats arrive on the same day that will be over six thousand tourists arriving. Imagine all the minibuses waiting to take them for their day trip around the island. Bangrak is a nightmare with them rushing to either pick up or drop off for the speedboats going to Koh Phangan. God knows what that will be like. Now all we need is the much talked about bridge. -
Best Issan restaurant on Samui
phetphet replied to kwilco's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
You don't say which part of the island you are staying. Krok Mai on the ring road about 150 yards before Bangkok Hospital coming from Chaweng Yai, on the opposite side is OK. Thai Kik in Laem Din market is always very busy. About 15metres before Lotus Express, on same side, but set back from the road a little bit. -
It might be worth going into the provider's shop and trying to renew by paying for another year. but the prices seem to have gone up quite a lot now.

BBC Sounds app being withdrawn for overseas users
phetphet replied to brewsterbudgen's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
There are some other radio apps you can buy, such as TuneIn, Broadcasts, and My Tuner Pro to name a few. I like TuneIn. There is TuneIn Radio, TuneIn Radio Pro (onetime purchase)of around $9.99) which avoids ads. There is also a Premium subscription, which includes free audio books, but not for me. Has all the BBC Channels including 5live and 5 sports extra. HTH -

I wonder if the cuts will include all funding for illegal boat arrivals. Charity begins at home.
