Everyone and their cat knows the wok is likely a Chinese invention. The Indians, as is typically par for the course with them, adapted it for their overly spiced, overly herbed cooking.

What are you doing tomorrow? Right up there with what’s your fav colour. Stroll on!

Hope he’s got his 56 suitcases on standby.

What a ridiculous storm in a teacup. Thailand still light years away from adolescence.

Just hang the reprobate and be done with it. He is beyond rehabilitation and the ongoing costs to keep him locked up… Alright capital punishment arguably costs more (and I guess needs to be legal again), but at least he’d be out of the news and victims get closure.

^^^ Right on cue! 😴

IMO blue heart isn’t needed as there’s a thumbs up for a like as well as a +1. Red heart clearly signifies love. They should probably all be shelved bar a like, a thanks and a laugh. Thumbs down is overused and abused.

Good. It’s a total rip off and a big shake up is needed. Years ago you could get actual deals, but they only have such a turnover now because there’s no other real option, plus people are stupid. If I want actual no duty, I’ll get it on the way back.

I dunno, was in PP fairly recently and got nobbled on the street. Chased the scoundrels off, but this kind of carry-on hasn’t been an issue here for me. Also don’t reckon the place is as cheap as people say. If you like drinking dishwater beer, then sure, but vis-a-vis Thailand on quality items, I found it the same or more. Great that the low end Chinese are going there instead. They are a nuisance to other visitors. Let’s hope the hordes of lower end Indians and Russians divert there, too. They kinda all go well together.

Maybe he is one of them cows. 😀

Look at the title; it’s Democrat-majority states. Are you okay?

I get the wanting a bit of love in her life thing, but why is she chasing more money after a lifetime of work? At 60+, 12M could go a long way.

Quality Markets? Gawd! It makes me want to barf. If you want more tourists, for starters sack everyone at the TAT and then disband it. An utterly anachronistic xenophobic monstrosity. THEN, you welcome visitors to your country with open arms, treat them like actual human beings (aside from Russians and the unwashed) and then say, ‘please come again’.

Unsurprising. Love them to bits but they are not great on design and innovation here—Asia in general—and, oil & gas aside, the workforce tends to be inefficient.

Advice On Moving Back To Pattaya Don't. So, by Indian's sleeping on benches, would that imply they've booted the brits off? 😋

Yeah, no-one can be arsed in watching videos. Write it down, man!

Probably why South America is so fugged up... the spaniards have a great culture, food, language etc but are a fickle bunch nonetheless. Spanish colonialism: Mexico, Argentina, Colombia etc lol British colonialism: US, Canada, Oz (never mind), NZ etc Massive difference in mindset. Alright, the US is all over the shop of late and Oz is, well, Oz (never mind), but the mindset in having a go at tourists is proper Spain. Not the sharpest tools in the shed.

Careful what you wish for. Ok, drunks shouldn't be on the road--cars that is, I'd never drive under the influence, but bikes aren't such a huge issue? If you kill yourself, it doesn't really matter. 😋 I would just be careful of the let's-make-everything-normal-and-cosy here, because all of a sudden you're in your boring country again.

Well, they should probably be impounded and crushed... the cars that is. The thing is, since DUI is utterly endemic here, the lawmakers will also get caught out. Alright, the 'd'you know who I am' line would get many bypassed, but the likes of Chiang Mai where it is quite tight would catch a few of them out.

Far be it from me to cast aspersions on your sexual persuasion 😋, but I totally agree. Religio-purity angle and devious minds aside, the virgin concept is a proper fallacy. From my perspective at least, if the receiver is not enjoying it, it is a big turn-off. Those guys with their 72 thing are so lost. Khamenei; yep. One of those special people—like our Korean friend, Wrong-Un—that is in dire need of meeting his maker.

Iran is a different prospect to all those Mickey ‘Mow’ countries. Quality place with big history and great people and was the spot to be in the 70s by all accounts, only to be ruined by a bunch of tyrannical religious headbangers. This article is heartwarming. The place should ideally be sorted from the inside out. Israel giving them a proper spanking is the less than ideal option. All the bluster from them though—we will make Israel, US, UK, France pay with our military might yada yada yada—is total bs. They are as weak as p*ss. It just can’t be protracted… Europe can’t handle another 10M refugees!

While I don’t per se and get on with anyone, my work puts me around them and they do seem to be a different breed. There are good and bad in all walks of life, blah blah, but the rich tend to be kinda narcissistic-driven and don’t give a F about the little people. Trump is the epitome of this revelation.

Money comes to money.

It’s actually pretty amusing. It will be lost on some, however, especially those from that place that don’t do humour very well. 🙂

The guy should grow up. Why would they want to go back home to misery and <deleted>e money? All the hotspots around the world have one common theme… small willy narcissistic ‘strongmen’ syndrome. It’s pathetic.
