Indeed, but one only needs to attain a significant percentage of light to close down vast distances per unit time... it is the ultimate speed, though impossible to get near with our current understanding of course (we're still too busy building bombs) but it's all there in special relativity equations. Also ignoring manipulation of spacetime with big energy. This stuff with yours, and my, brain is just not on point to comprehend such a thing... another million years of evolution will have you a god.

What is a Ferrary? Is that like a wannabe sports car for the light-footed? lol. Just messing with ya. What a donkey waltzing around with bling at that hour. He probably scared the S out of the police with his farangipan speak.

More eyes/spying/intelligence + awareness. Clearly not every UFO (didn't they change the acronym recently? big stigma) has a little green bloke behind the wheel. Though they are also there... one would have to be a simpleton if they imagined two trillion-plus galaxies x 100 billion stars with countless planets and moons could not produce something that would rival us. Never mind.

Initial thoughts, yes, but a lot (most?) of those soldiers do not want it. No Choice. We all know who is at fault... bstards in suits (not just Putin) nowhere near the front line. Hoping there's another life so I can get to the priick and flog him repeatedly for all eternity!

Pales into comparison with birds headbutting windows.

I agree, Mike, it's bollockx... he picked them up. Personally think the Russian gal should be arrested for being Russian. ????

Ooh, he's a one eh! Preaching morality while smiling and stealing a country. Get back in your cage solider boy. You will not be missed!

Never had an issue coming in, dozens of times. Those lines do suck though... worth having a kid just to go through the Thai lane lol.

It is a real sovereign state and has all the right to be one, not wanting to be a part of that bogus rancid regime. Countries don't formally recognise it as such because they are worried about upsetting childish China and the subsequent loss of trade. They go into Taiwan they will be hit with massive sanctions which would totally shaft their economy and they would rightly revert to developing third world status.

Yep and well put. Doesn't matter one's culture and perceived happiness index, we are all still burdened with a hooman brain which can easily be a monster for anyone when unfocused and unchecked. On the other hand, the Thai propensity for living for the now is very refreshing and having spent time with humble rubber farmers, they are among the most chilled and genuine folk I have encountered.

Cheap as chips still compared with a real beer here (pint of rubbish Guinness being £7-8) and many places around the world. And that is near the Smoke where folk are earning big. Can still get a pint for couple quid from whence I hail.

He is very green. How old? In this country at least, most of them on view to average farang choose that lifestyle... minimal skill and effort required + quick money. Switch off and lay down with wife-beater-wearing large man for 15 minutes = one week factory work pay.

And big!

TL;DR. Unless you're minted, connected and well attired (don't necessarily need to speak Thai), do not set your bar so lofty. Hi-so here is not the same as upper middle class in the West, where being tall & fit, nicely clothed and amusing can see you right. Also, from a Thai female's POV, being with a farang unfortunately comes with stigma.

guy in room next to me wont stop smoking weed what can i do Join him

PRC pushing its luck. I think they should be nuked (60 years ago), but that's just me. ????

Eh? Valid comment calling out a semi-inflammatory post. Perhaps have a reread. Not a pothead by any stretch but reckon people should have a choice on this relatively benign substance. Regards helping poor people, clearly they can make money by growing and selling. Kudos to Anutin. Good to see him get summat right.

No worries. Some of the expat pubs will also do a breakfast.

Cha-am Coffee Burger ain't bad, good prices. Open 8-5: here... about 50m off the main road between highway and train station.

Might have to stop reading this site for a bit…. that title is major cringe. I wish I could unread it. And the whole concept of what’s going down there is just first class weird! I mean, really, you come all this way to do that?

Horrendous. What a sad world.

About time Thailand joined the 20th 21st century

Never see locals doing this type of thing of course. Happy to see the French getting nobbled though... what do they think it is, storming of the Bastille II.

As long as giving up those things you like doesn’t make you miserable. And don’t not do something because of someone else’s view. Right food, right mind, exercise. Sugar is crapp and there’s a lot to be said for intermittent fasting.

Anything that lot do nowadays is with agenda and is so timidly wokeist and politically correct that it will likely be hard to watch for those with a sense of humour hankering for the originals… + Cleese obviously won’t have same energy levels. Hope I’m wrong and it works, but if they were to go back-in-the-day full on, the easily offended will be up in arms.
