  1. There are talks to adding "Hobby Horse" to the Olympic games. So, there is still hope for any silly sport to be added as an Olympic sport.
  2. Why spend money of a Windows 11 key? I purchased a second-hand laptop a few months ago with Windows 10 installed. Upgraded the Ram (4GB to 16GB) and the Hard-disk (128GB to 500GB) and downloaded an OFFICIAL Windows 11 from Microsoft. Rebooted my laptop and launched an "Update" and everything was fine. https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
  3. At the school of my kid in Korat, I saw kids driving to school with big cars and motorbikes. Amongst them was a Ducati and a Nissan Z. Not exactly "poor" people. The school was accepting this because their parents had made a big "Donation" to the school. Amazingly, these students were every year in the Top-5 best results. TIT
  4. In the early '70s, I saw an accident happening where the car in front of me slipped and went off the road. Stopped and went to look if I could help. The driver was still sitting behind the wheel but his head was missing (was before belts was required). Now, almost 50 years later I can still see the headless driver in my dreams.
  5. Agree with you, but the biggest deal is to continue your life after you have seen a kid's brain plastered on the road by the car you were driving.
  6. A few months ago, the police was giving out free helmets for these poor farmers. The helmets were sold before the farmers got home...
  7. If they are underage they can have no insurance, tax, or whatever legal documents
  8. Poor excuse. Will you let your children drive a motorcycle, with a lot of children on the same motorcycle and without protection go joyriding? I think not
  9. Worst thing is if you are involved in an accident with them, you will foot the bill and eventually have to life your life with the thought that you killed some children
  10. When jumping off from a cliff is the shortest way to reach your destination, do you jump off the cliff?
  11. Amazing that the driver had no baby in the basket in front of the motorcycle.
  12. Thailand in 2024. Older but not wiser.
  13. I had exactly the same experience as you in Korat this year. I was told by the checkpoint of the documents for an extension to go to a Visa agency. Strange enough, a few years before, I got my extension in 5 minutes at the same office (different officers). TIT
  14. Something is really wrong with these people. Over-consumption of alcohol maybe?
  15. Went today to the local Pharmacy at Central Plaza, and the Pharmacist told me that the Senna tablets in your picture were sold out, but he gave me a similar product with the same active ingredients and it was a lot cheaper as the product in your picture. As tomorrow is the weekend, and I don't want to go out with a diarhea, I started with the minimum dose (1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening). Let's see if it helps. Here are some pictures of the product I bought today. PS.: Contrary of your post, it is marked on the flask that it should only be sold by Pharmacy.
  16. In Korat, Dulcolax is not available anymore. Neither in Lazada, Shopee or Ebay. Read the answer from Sheryl. If you can buy Dulcolax in Bangkok, I will be glad to receive a few blisters from you. You can send them to my personal address (Thailand). 5 blisters of 10 tabs = 200Baht + pp. Be sure to send Dulcolax (yellow tabs) and not DulcoFlex (brown tabs).
  17. I started using Dulcolax on order from my THAI Pharmacy. And it helped me a lot. Took 1 tablet a 2 or 3 times per month. But for some dark reason, it was not available in Thailand anymore. And my last supplier, an Indian from Ebay, did not ship to Thailand anymore. Tried some other "stool softeners", but with no or poor results. Got the recommendation of a friend to take "Froza fiber Detox" jelly. Purchased a monthly dose from Lazada to try it and it worked fine. But when I wanted to order a new pack, it was impossible to find anywhere and the only similar product was worthless. Guess that Thailand is taking all the working stuff of the market and replace it with worthless imitations.

  19. A bit off-topic, but I was wondering if the rules to monetize a channel is as easy as YouTube with Facebook/Instagram? I check my Facebook account a few times per day and the amount of Thai/Philipina girls/woman posting short "Reels" in which they flash their underwear have become enormous. And most of them have over 1K followers and idem "Views/Comments". Some of these woman are already aged 60+ and still flashing their underwear. I have seen a picture of a woman showing a few thousand baht bills with the words "Thank you Instagram". On the Youtube topic, I have seen friends who spend a lot of money and go trough hiring a proffesional film maker to create a YouTube channel which would make them rich, but failed in their attempts to become the next Youtube billonaire.
  20. I was looking to order a new dose of "Dulcelax (laxative tablets)" but couldn't find a dealer in Lazada or Shopee anymore. Does anybody where I can order this medicine? TIA
  21. First, as many other members stated, Google is not the place to seek reliable information on whatever topic. Google has become such a pool of "false information" that it makes you wonder why you are still alive. Second, I had all my live a low heartbeat. I was doing a lot of sports and was told be every doctor/specialist that I had a top heartbeat and shouldn't worry about that. But I was feeling unbearable pain in my cheeks when I was doing too much exersize. That was until 1997 when I was hospitalized urgently with several heart attacks. Lucky for me, my first heart attack was at the hospital during a visit to the Cardiolog and I received professional help. The Cardiolog ordered a "24 hours health monitoring" on leaving the hospital. "24 hrs health monitoring" consisted of wearing 24hs a walkman tape recorder connected to ECG wires around my heart. The "24hrs health monitoring" showed a hearybeat of 25PPM during my sleep and the Cardiolog decided to implant a PM and restrict my "body building" exersizes to a bare minimum. Now, it's 2024 and I am still alive thanks to my Cardiolog. My advice, FORGET GOOGLE and go to a SPECIALIST (a Cardiologist and not a general practioner) in a hospital.
  22. France (France) has said it 250 years ago, but almost every point is correct, especially this one. - There is no country in the world where corrupt people have so many ways to turn the tide as in Siam. There are so many masters of messing up cases, can turn the worst things around for good and he will demand high compensation. French Tur Paeng. Written from information obtained from Reverend Brigott, who had lived in Sri Ayutthaya for many years until Bangkok. Printed in Paris in BC. .. 2314 (Aug. .. 1771) The heart-throating habit of Siamese people. – Proud in the nation. Love tradition firmly. Gentle, kind, hide feeling. Don't like to talk too much. Mathayast, don't like extravagant luxury. Not selfish. Knowledgeable. The weakness of the Siamese people. – Tired, lazy, discouraged. Don’t like to do difficult things. Don’t listen to bad things. Don't like to be tired and difficult. Often argue. Don’t accept the principles and the results that arise from them. Mind is not trained. So it’s never worse than what is good and what is bad. Most of all, behave without thinking about the reason. - Usually I'm stubborn. I don't know how to control people. I'm very angry when I'm embarrassed. I'm so mad when I'm angry. Sometimes I'm so cruel. - Often be humble to the superior, but arrogant to despise the inferior and those who show praise. Some people are cunning talkers. Claiming the wrong reasons to slap people in the face. - Trust fortune, fortune, fortune, astrologer, shape and arch spell. - Siamese people love betting very much. The loser of the bet could sell even his wife. - The education of Siam lacks knowledge to think for reason. Siam people try not to think because thinking makes us tired. - There is no country in the world where corrupt people have so many ways to turn the tide as in Siam. There are people who are master at messing up, can turn the worst things around for good, and he will demand high compensation. *I have kept this record for many years to remind myself and Thai people who are of the same descent as Siamese what is our strength and weakness in the eyes of foreigners and not true. Now, there are cases of people who break the law but survived all the cases and become innocent like the public's bars. According to the last paragraph in this record, we will make up our minds to forget it because this is the habit of the Siamese ethnicity.
  23. Most answer in this forum are English or American. Where I was living, most top songs were Dutch or French. This was one of the Pop artists who wrote very good music and was copied by a lot of musiciens.
