Losing My Climate Change Religion
Woke waffle. So what new cause will she become passionate about next? Can't people form a considered viewpoint without needing to belong to a cult?

Beach Ride Fall Leaves UK Woman With Soaring Medical Costs
Insurance companies exist in a moral free zone and they love to use small print to worm out of making payments. Many organised tourist trips included a pony ride, and local tour operators offer them in tourist areas, but few people would study the definition of extreme sports before jumping on a pony. In my mind 'extreme sports' is something like hang gliding, bungee jumping etc. Would they class a banana boat, surf board or a mountain bike as an extreme sport when trying to wriggle out of payments. Under advertising laws they should clearly state these limitations in their brochures, but if they were honest about what limited value they were providing, nobody would buy their product.

Thailand's E-Cigarette Users Call for Ban Review Amid Rising Numbers
Yes, everyone has a divine right to stink up the street and blow vapour in everyone's faces. And the apple scented, nicotine fumes add to the atmosphere in bars and malls.

Do I need - should I get - Foreigner ID Card ?
I use mine to check into hotels .... so no need to carry my passport. Also use it when a hospital or bank needs to see ID and when registering a Rabbit card for the BTS. A passport could also be used for all these tasks, but I don't like to carry my passport all the time, especially during Songkran and when riding my motorbike. The pink card is waterproof, my passport is not.

Be honest,was it the traditional values that drew you to a Thai woman
Yes, it was partly the traditional values as she's it as her main responsibility to care for me, but for me it was the whole deal - appearance, intelligence, work ethic, kindness towards others, appearance, cooking skills, financial management skills, appearance, and did I mention she looks so fine. An element of those traditional values is that she makes an effort every day to look good, but reserves her hottest clothes for around the house, but dresses more modestly when we go out.

Life regrets
I regret not listening to my Father. As a smart-alec teenager I thought I knew it all, then he was gone. He was a kid during WW II, flew early fighter jets, raised a family, but I never really listened to him. Just one small example: Recently there was an online discussion on an aviation site about which was the better fighter, F86 Sabre Vs Hawker Hunter. I should have had a first hand view on this from my Father, but I didn't.

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?
Solo travels on the motorbike, road trips in the car with the Missus, plus work travel to farming regions in Central and North East .... very few places in Thailand I've not visited. Favourites include Chiang Khan, Loei, Chanthaburi.

Proposed Plans to cut Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days
Makes no sense to me. Do the bad tourists take more than 30 days to create trouble? You either keep people from undesirable countries out of Thailand, or you let them in and manage the consequences. 30, 60 or 90 days is irrelevant to criminals, but could be a significant inconvenience to genuine, law abiding people who are able to enjoy longer trips

Foreign Biker Kills Finnish Pedestrian in Pattaya Crash
I was in Jomtien a couple of weeks ago, and noticed a green Kawasaki Z800 with a loud pipe going up and down the beach road at stupid speeds. Probably the same guy, as the Z800 was not a popular bike so not too many about. It was an unusually heavy bike and was replaced by a lighter Z1000. Weight plus speed plus idiot rider is a lethal combination. And while I'm a fan of motorcycles, I do agree that anything over 500cc is just unnecessary in Thailand.

Bangkok Tests On Nut Waste-to-Energy Plant
Good start, but hope they have an effective emission cleaning system as burning plastic produces some unpleasant chemicals. Plastic reduction at source would also be valuable. There was some progress with this after the turtle got a straw stuck up his nose, but COVID set everything back, so now we get three plastic bags, 6 spoons and 15 straws every time we visit 7-11.

Thai girl was totally shameless
The formula I'd seen was half your age plus 7. The plus 10 doesn't work too well for younger ages, and my woman just fits the plus 7 rule. Although there will be many other factors, including shorter than her man, longer hair, bigger boobs, plus it helps if she likes you 😀

Security Fears Prompt Reexamination of Thai Visa Policy
The UK and it's porous borders should be a warning to Thailand to be more selective about who they let into the country.
