"Scientists say the recovery is entirely due to political determination to phase out the man-made CFC gases destroying ozone."

Of course I would expect the liberal scientist to say that!

Remember,it's not just 800,000 baht or 65,000 baht/month. Example: 400,000 baht and 40,000 baht/month = 880,000 baht. It can be a combination of the two.

Nothing has changed in Chiang Mai. After the traffic police stopped being visible things went back to the way they were; totally ignoring traffic signs and rules.

I have been taking Thai lessons for 3 years. I can write Thai and read Thai but I don't know what it means. LOL 

But it's a great way to spend 2 hours each morning with a beautiful female Thai tutor!

The sound of one hand clapping!

DO NOT buy rosetta stone, it is not a good choice (but marketed well).

No tight, just unaware because of a lack of relevant information or knowledge.

Yes, I LIKE the heat. After 60 years of Upstate New York winters I can't get enough of the hot weather.

What if it's true?

Nirvana - when you realize that this is it!

Harnal 0.4mg (tamsulosin) has worked for me. Been taking it for a year now.

Kerry is an idiot and has know idea what he is talking about. What an ass!

I would say thank you in Thai (thank you! kɔ̀ɔp-​kun or thank you! (to peers and inferiors) kɔ̀ɔp-​jai) loud as I could back to him and move along.

The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, tested cell phone use in over 250 medical devices and found no interference. It's also been scientifically proven that cell phone use while pumping gas will not cause a fire or an explosion.

I'm shocked that the guy was charged. If the intruder was within the garage then the homeowner was within his rights to protect his family and property. There are many legal precedents to support his actions.

We saw a middle aged Chinese woman peeing in the moat in Chiang Mai on a weekday afternoon. And how many Thai men have we seen peeing in public?

Soooo many!

My Thai wife (not from Issan) says it's bad luck.

This is why Thai people think farangs are stupid.

When the cashier starts to place my 1 or 2 items in a plastic bag I say, "mai ao tung krup." (Not want bag)

A friend sold his house in Thailand. Deposited the money in SCB bank. Got an SCB bank cashiers check and went to America. Wells Fargo accepted the check and deposited it into friend's account. Two days later he received a call from Wells Fargo telling him that SCB would not honor their own check. SCB wanted to know where he got the money. He is now back in Thailand to straighten things out.
