    I wouldn't doubt it... nothing surprises me anymore. The USA that I grew up in no longer exists. When asked why I don't want to go home I reply that there is nothing to go back to. I've made a good life here and am thankful that I have the option to choose where I want to live.

    A Covid outbreak is a plausible explanation for this sudden shutdown of services. But if so, why didn't they just come out and say it? Is obfuscation becoming the instinctive reaction to situations like this?

    The "lonely hearts" who were scammed in all probability didn't know they were dealing with sub-Saharan Africans and crooked Thais. The way these scams usually work is by using bogus photos of handsome farangs to gain their trust before defrauding them. There's one born every minute.

    "Thank goodness Covid is over." It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings.

    Good news indeed. Let's hope they've reincarnated themselves with the same levels of courtesy and efficiency that they had in Promenada.

    Always room for more in the family... but not at the very top levels. Those positions are already filled.

    According to all credible accounts, after June 9th it will be legal to grow cannabis plants. "Extracts" containing more than .02% THC will continue to be illegal. No doubt more laws and regulations seeking to "clarify" the situation will be forthcoming. TIT.

    He doesn't have an "idea" he has an "agenda" and it dates back to the 1930s when it was pushed by nutcases like Harry J. Anslinger and J. Edgar Hoover.

    At least when it's raining it is somewhat cooler. A welcome change after the bloody heat of the hot season.

    Sun's out this morning in Saraphi. After two days of almost continuous rain the water was at our kitchen door. Any higher and it would have come in.

    "Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principals. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage." Ambrose Bierce That can be seen in many countries, but in some it is more obvious than others.

    So true. I see driving anything anywhere in Thailand like participating in a Demolition Derby.

    Linen fabric is made from the flax plant. Hemp fabric is made from the hemp plant.

    He sounds more like a tourist than a troll. "Cheap as chips" would have given his game away.

    Willie Sutton's classic response, "Because that's where the money is" when asked why he robbed banks would seem to apply to gold shops in Thailand as well.

    Not quite everybody... only those who are properly dressed. Uncle Too will need to pack a T-shirt.

    Boss Tweed would feel right at home here.

    Amazing Thailand.

    In Thailand it is a 50/50 split of assets acquired since marriage. So I've been told.

    That's Thai Freedom. It beats Philadelphia Freedom by a country mile.

    I don't think anybody would lose money in betting that China is very much in charge of this initiative. The next few years will reveal to what extent they are driving it.
  22. MisterTee
    Nonsense. China is pushing this, not the dysfunctional US or the sclerotic EU.

    Can it. Revolting Aussie slang may have a place somewhere but not here. It lowers the tone of even a silly thread like this.
