What is with this resurrection of ancient threads? This one is 10 years without any activity until this.
The TVCM Forum has never been
as moribund as it is now.
Maybe that explains it.

Does anyone know the time frame of the visit of Rama X to Chiangmai?
I know he arrived yesterday but would like to know when he leaves.So would I.
The whole of Nong Hoi and surrounding sois were verboten this afternoon causing me the inconvenience of a long detour on my way to collect my visa extension at Immigration.

Believe this has been exlained by observers who witnessed four people breaking down the 'lith?
Should have sold adverts on it.
Thanks for the link to that informative article.
I thought the one in Romania was a Brancusi.

Welcome to Chiang Mai if you decide to come.
Just take reasonable health precautions and try to avoid the crabby old farts in the expat community here.
So true.
Stick with Thais... they're much more fun.
Especially the girls ????

If they are going to try and make it a money maker (mmmmm) then they should stop p!ssing about with this overpriced, who knows whats inside, tincture nonsense and do it properly.
Spot on.
After Anutin got off to a good start on legalization he didn't carry on to other practical matters of production and delivery.
Let's hope they get their act together in the not too distant future.

Will history repeat itself as tragedy or as farce?
Probably as farce.
It was tragedy the first time around.

WHonestly hated the place. When I first came to thailand I found myself walking towards hua lamphong station and realising I could not understand a word that I heard as I walked through the bustle. When I was on CM all I heard were screechy yanks and all the restaurants were co run by westerners and I did not feel like I was in thailand. I enjoyed the hiking and all that stuff but the yank voices were just awful. Truly awful.

Then we can assume you are over 70, morbidly obese with diabetes, right? Or something like that.
Let's not forget that we have had nationally: a 14-day quarantine, and a 14-day quarantine, and a 14-day quarantine, and a 14-day quarantine, and a 14-day quarantine, and a 14-day quarantine, and a 14-day quarantine, and a 14-day quarantine, and a few days to boot -- end to end -- without a domestic case of covid. (Yes, one unexplained case which likely was a false positive.)
I'd be scared too. In fact, since it is very highly unlikely that the virus causing covid-19 will ever vanish from the face of the earth, you will be wearing that mask forever.
And don't forget to be extra protected, it is imperative that you wear a Jatukham Rammathep amulet. Three on a chain around your neck is better.
Remember before you leave your safe-house: Mask, amulet, alcohol hand sanitizer, sterile alcohol wipes, and a full Plexiglas face shield. And PHYSICAL DISTANCE, please!
Be safe out there and don't let the bedbugs bite!
Your plucky attempt at humour made us all laugh.
Say what you want - be as ironic and sarcastic as you can - Thailand has come this far with a remarkably low mortality rate.
Maybe the Thais aren't doing everything right... but they're certainly not making fools out of themselves and doing everything wrong.

If so, it will be a defeat that they truly deserve.

I don't know.
Whatever it is it wouldn't accurately describe this clever, talented, and resourceful man.

Ever tried to talk about geography with gilrs here? Last one told me Brazil is in Africa.
The first time visitor to Brazil might also make that mistake.

1 hour ago, HAPPYNUFF said:Once upon a time I used to be a volunteer at a local high school, teaching conversational English to the students. I gave up in disgust, though I felt sad for the kids. The very subtle brainwashing they received from the largely ignorant, semi educated teachers got me down. It was very insidious, but repetitive. I even got out a large scale map of the world one day and asked different students the locations of various countries. Unbelievably, some couldnt even point out the whereabouts of Thailand. On my final day there, one male student approached me, in halting English he begged me to stay, explaining it was their only chance to learn about the world.
Anna Leonowens beat you to the map lesson by 158 years.

Well, considering that the new US ambassador to Thailand is a political appointee and not a career diplomat;......you can go from there. I'm sure he'll make sure it's handled appropriately....
Rest easy.
Trump's apointee as Ambassador to Thailand was Michael G. DeSombre, a corporate lawyer who had led his firm's mergers and acquisitions department.
The Consul General in Chiang Mai is Sean K. O'Neill who has had extensive diplomatic experience in Hong Kong, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
Our votes will be safe in his hands.

He means 'hooches'... just unsure of the terminology.
Must have missed those SE Asian tours back in the early '70s.

Yes, get back to Thailand.
Step up to the plate and there's a good chance you might hit a homer.
In Farangland, chances not so good.
In Farangland these days the chance of hitting a homer is just about nil.

What was the name of that university back in the seventies.
You may be thinking of Thammasat University.
It was to Thailand in the '70s what UC Berkeley was to the US in the '60s.

Is there a drive thru car wash in Chiang Mai?
in Chiang Mai
Posted
I think so too... an emphatic no.
Automated car washes don't seem to exist in Chiang Mai at present.
But in topics like this a simple "no" is seldom given. More often there are diversions and byways, bells and whistles and whirligigs to amuse and inform you.
