Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only toxic wasteland

Sally take my hand
We'll travel south cross land
Put out the fire
And don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together, before we get much older

toxic wasteland
It's only toxic wasteland
toxic wasteland
Oh yeah, toxic wasteland
They're all wasted!

 

 

I knew the WHO would have to get involved.

We come here largely retired. Our needs and expectations different. Even stating this, if I can resolve the healthcare issue for my wife, we may return as well. Dark clouds forming. Nation has gone nowhere since 2005. Expat life becoming mindlessly pedantic and increasingly expensive.

Perhaps this will have an effect on the THB exchange rate if the big P gets his way. Might be a good time to hang onto those $$$ or £ or € and see what happens. 

Just looking for an up side to this mockery of an election. 

As transparent as a bucket of mud buried under a mountain of bulls**t. Won’t be any clearer than that.

Heads are going to roll

Songkran is the solution to the smoke problem and must go on. All that water being thrown around will be the cure. Hallelujah.

I am old enough to remember when companies (beer, cars shops) had to pay people to advertise their name on shirts etc., Then I remember being on holiday in Spain when a bar owner asked me if I wanted a shirt with the bar's name on it. I was thinking am I going to get paid or free beer for wearing it...or at worst, maybe he was just giving it to me for free. I nearly fell out of my standing when he actually wanted me to Pay for it.

  Ahh! ...the good old days, when people actually demanded to be paid to advertise people's products....now, it's the people who are paying for the privilege of advertising all sorts of pruducts for businesses...especially on trucks now...I see.

  Oh! how the times have changed.

  Fair dues though to those Advertising Agencies who have changed a culture around full circle, from people getting paid to advertise their products...to having the public pay Them...and in doing so....Look Cool.

  When are people going to "cop on"?

Copped on years ago. 

What about football sponsorship and logos?

The EC is not independent.

EC = Electoral Corruption 

Can’t see Prayut letting go of the reins. He’ll let the election results simmer for a while trying his hardest to provoke an air of inreconcilable differences between the parties and then declare martial law and reinstate himself under Section 44. 

Meet the new boss, same (exactly) as the old boss. 

......or perhaps he will just roll over and let everyone scratch his belly. 

Sorry I was off with the fairies. 

Bye bye Thailand.

Do not go to Disneyland without money in your pocket. Easy solution

Perhaps a pocketful of money was the main contributor to the 179 unknown.

Problem over. Phew, thank goodness. All that water spraying must have worked. Now they have a working strategy/solution they can apply next year. Looking forward to it already but I guess it will still be the best three months to be somewhere else.

Good advice but I would add - if you don't know the place ask the price before ordering and pay the bill immediately - there have been many reports about these types of bars in Chang Mai and other places

 

If I go to a bar I am not familiar with and they are not showing a price list then I ask before ordering and immediately check the bill, some bars don't like this for very obvious reasons, their ability to rip me off diminishes dramatically 

If they don’t display prices they don’t want my business. Goes for all shops. 

Why not take out a 2 month multiple entry tourist  visa and leave the country on a planned holiday to a neighboring country and then be back in Thailand before your 60 day visa expires. Automatically you get another 2 months amounting to four months in total. 

This was the case a few years back so hopefully someone could confirm if still the same now.

Do not laugh, I did date one some 12 years ago whose mother kept dying every few months and each time she needed 25000 for funeral.

She obviously had more than one mother
