  1. Some years ago I was reading something by a man who had been in prison in the UK. Whilst there he got talking to a fellow inmate who was jailed for a well-publicised fraud/con. The man said that his theory was that if someone isn't greedy they can't be conned, greed is always the hook that will catch them.
  2. Not being into nudism myself, I have my own "Nudism test". Anyone can do it, but I am currently thinking of the UK version. On any day that you walk down the high street think to yourself "How many of my fellow shoppers would I like to see whilst they're nude." The answer that I come up with is always <1%. 😁
  3. Indeed, fork murders and assaults are a really big issue, happening all the time?
  4. Ban fireworks for sale to the general public. Allow them for organised displays only.
  5. On my numerous visits to Cambodia on visa runs it struck me how at street-level, tuk tuk drivers, waitresses etc, the level of English proficiency was better than it is in Thailand. I wonder if UNESCO or some such body had got involved in education in Cambodia and this was one of the results?
  6. Is that near where brains are placed in left-luggage lockers?😊
  7. In my whole lifetime I tried it 3 or 4 times. One positive thing that I will say about it is that it really helped me sleep.
  8. A pleasant feeling, but a very unpleasant smell. Quite recently a colleague complained that his neighbours were smoking it in their garden and the smoke/smell was wafting into his garden.
  9. Farangs are banned from having many kinds of jobs in Thailand.
  10. Many years ago the Australian authorities stated that more of their citizens die in Thailand than in any other overseas desination.
  11. So, every town in Thailand is like Walking Street or Soi Cowboy then?
  12. As someone who spent 20 years in Thailand, firstly as an tourist, and then as an expat, my take on this is as follows. The vast majority of tourists who visit Thailand only ever see touristy Thailand. Touristy Thailand by it's nature is where many prostitutes, ladyboys etc congregate, giving what I think is a false impression of what Thailand is really like, for ordinary Thais with ordinary jobs. Many people who only spend a few weeks there have a false impression of what the country's really like.
  13. 1,000 ml = 1 litre I'm talking about 10 litres, which I thought was pretty clear. And someone has 👍 your comment.
