I just read in Oz there are less deaths with Omicron than the normal flu.If you're vaccinated

"has been charged with reckless driving, refusing to submit to a breathalyser test, and failing to stop to help a damaged party."

Don't you know who I am?

"If desired, the judge can also lodge an appeal against the court’s ruling."

It's not over yet.

To be honest: Are Anutin's words really so wrong? In pre Covid times walking around in Pattaya's "bar sois" I had the impression, some of these people NEVER shower.

True but ALL nationalities not just Farangs

Start what? 

 

All I said was that anutin had a point when he said farang shower less than Thai, then I was attacked for being racist. I used 'farang' as that is what he used. 

 

I know, as a Scot, that Thais shower a lot more than the average Scot, full stop. 

 

Too many sensitive snowflakes here that exhibit a colonial reverse superiority. Can't have them pesky Siamese saying they are more hygienic than us! 

 

But you had to start embellishing the stories .Chinese are never called Farang, and I have never heard a Thai call themselves a farang for instance.Funny,I normally get along well with Scots.My Grandfather was one.

In all seriousness the Thai government should be now looking at a whole new approach to getting tourism re-started. Dropping the pass farce for starters, and in my own view should be paying for tourists rt-pcr and first night quarantine hotel - paying out say 2,000 baht for this when the tourists will like be spending say 100,000 on their holiday makes economic sense to me.

I agree but don't hold your breath.

FAR too many nicer beaches than in LOS, but there is NO Walking Street anywhere else in the world.

Fields ave. in Angeles PI  was as good as Walking Street in the day.

Maybe a question to people who travel a little more.

Is there anything like Thai go-go bars anywhere else on the planet?

I don't travel much. But when I was in neighboring countries I found bars with bees and girls but nothing even near to Thai go-go bars.

I don't know how many people only like go-go bars compared to other places. But I am sure there are enough of us to fill a couple of bars.

The Phillipines in the day,were as good if not better in some instances,but as for these days I don't know.

Thanks  Dr.Jack.

This is directed primarily to Ubon Joe,After being stuck outside for two years,I'm planning on coming back to Ubon in March 2022.I've bought a return ticket .I'm going to come in visa exempt on an Aussie passport.I will have sent 800k to my Thai bank  in January and will apply for a non o visa.Do you think I can apply during the first 30 days or will I need a 30 day extension, and do you reckon 4.75 months will be enough time to get it done? I can extend the ticket if necessary

Thanks in advance

Also don't forget AZ was developed by Oxford Uni. and given out to the world at cost price,Pfizer was made by The Pfizer Corp. in the USA and has been done for profit.Pfizer was asked to donate their vaccine to the world and refused.

So the propaganda says "Pfizers better". In the real world either are almost equally effective. Although people under 50,or 59[I'm not sure which] are advised to get Pfizer

Also bear in mind that Ethanol is Hydroscopic, so has the ability to build up water residue in the engine and pipes, especially if left unused for a while. This can have a bad effect on rubbers and plastics. Logically E20 attracts more water than E10 and E10 is worse than E0. Older cars really do not like Ethanol much...

I use straight Benzine in my bike in Thailand.I've been stuck in Oz for a year and a half. I have someone starting my bike there [Vulcan 650.] the benzine has lasted, with a two litre top up, and still starts ok.I doubt E10 would.I have a battery tender too.In Australia ,I run my two Triumphs on 95 straight petrol.I have tried ethanol twice. Once in Thailand on a 600 Honda I had [it ran like <deleted> until I got  filled with benzine again] and once in Oz in my car which is ethanol compatible.It used more petrol and had less power,so now I run straight 91 in that.I think ethanol is the biggest con job around.The car in Thailand gets 95 ethanol but it's started and run nearly daily.

Those bloody migrant workers AGAIN! ????

Time as run out I think on them, only place I know is,  after banks in UK stopped changing them, that they had to be sent to BoE in London.

Yep I've got 300 quid found from my deceased Aunt's stuff but I can't change them.Maybe if I took them to the Bof E. but that's it.My bank in OZ can't do anything.

My wife always sticks in gasohol 95 in her swift. She compains about it not running as well on e20. Fuel consumption on e20 is worse as well. 

I use 95 Benzine in my Kawasaki Vulcan MC. 95 Gasaholin the Honda city car.In Australia I have a Kia "designed" to use E10 .I used it once .Down in Power down in mileage.It now gets 91 straight petrol.My 2 Triumph MCs get 95 straight petrol.No gasahol for me if I can avoid it.If you run your vehicle every couple of days it's ok apparently, but not if they're going to sit for awhile.It's hydroscopic and can attract water which you don't want in your fuel system.BUT UP2U. My friend runs 95 gasahol in his Kawasaki Vulca and has no problems,but he runs it daily.

One thing more boring than a drunk is an ex drunk forever telling people how long it is since they had a drink. You don't have to give up entirely and pose as a saint, you can always cut down by having 2-3 days off drinking a week, and still loose weight.

Or a someone telling another just to "do this " or "do that"
