    Since when did the elite of any country give a damn about anyone other than themselves and their ability to turn billions into trillions/  The average person in any country is up against a Worldwide cabal who believe in  only one god- it's called money  The Chinese are clever- they recognize the greed and will use it against any country they can to establish their goal of Worldwide domination.

     

    Let's see how far Trump will go to stop them or will he fold when the Chinese  make an offer he can't refuse. I also want to see how far Thailand will go before they realize their sovereignty and cultural identity is at risk.

    Trump's antics are just an ego trip for him, no more than a pot hole in the 'belt and road' for the Chinese. He'll be gone soon enough, the Chinese will still be there. 

  2. Have you seen rent prices in Australia 
    I live in Aus on the O/A pension. You can live comfortably on it, as long as you don't own a car, live close to trains, and most importantly, do own your own dwelling. It also helps financially to live in country areas. There's more to it of course - lifestyle choices - fresh food, limited alcohol, exercise etc.
    In summary though, it is possible.

  3. Unspescified period- about 9 days usually, pathetic charade
    9 days, right on. A friend has a son, he went to the monkery after a massive party which cost absolutely squillions of baht - music, twerks, food, grog for 1000 people (1000, not a misprint) for . . . 9 sleeps.
    I larfed like a drain, not appreciated. .

  4. How often will this "track" be used this year after this one gala affair?  Or is it to be only a one occasion ripoff?  Just curious.
     
    Incidentally, the so-called planned "activities, and entertainment"  do not seem particularly interesting, unusual or different from other events Thais put on but then maybe the only attendees will be Thais.  How many non-Thai visitors will know or be interested in listening to local groups singing in Thai or very poor English and watch a "Muay Thai Expo and bouts featuring legendary Muay Thai boxers such as Samart Payakaroon and Somluck Kamsing" who are probably not known outside of Thailand.

    The two times I've been to Buriram in recent years the track has been in use - motorcycle racing. Good bikes too, something like superbike racing. And I just 'happened' to be there, not for those events.

  5. Have a 6 year old myself and been fighting these monsters daily in our area , just to keep my girl safe...Are we in a savanna in Africa????? A crying shame ..It's all about the mentality of many Thai towards their animals and towards their fellow human beings...a sheit mentality at times, i can say without regret...many just don't care, only about their own.......
    And what the hell is that about, that they always want to fix a problem rather then prevent it..Been living here 11 years and still get super annoyed by this ignorance..
    Not bashing at all.. generally i love the country and it's people., that's why i'm here over a decade already and have no intention of leaving.....
    .It's just a nasty side of reality here...A side that could use a little adjustment and learning of mistakes.....and there's the problem right  there...gddmn......4 years old....so sad. I cried when i read it....can feel the pain of the parents.......:(
    From your comments is it safe to assume you also had some niggling thoughts about why you actually live in Thailand?

  6. Uttaradit does not have a Big C yet but one has been proposed , how much extra are people going to have to pay for all of these imported goods an example i usually the Australian cereal Weet-Bix which was 98baht per box of 24 rom Tesco Lotus but it is now 108baht so i wont be buying them any more it seems that Tesco is raising the prices of most things making it very expensive to shop there these days especially with the exchange rate the way it is on the Aussie dollar .
    Given that I bought yesterday a packet of Weetbix (24) in Woolies yesterday for $2.99, 70baht in a direct conversion, I reckon at 108baht you're still doing ok. And let's face it, what are you going to eat instead? Rice?

  7. He posted in one of the ASA facebook groups, that he was allowing free downloads for kindle.    I thought it was just for ASA people though.  

    I don't have kindle though.  
    Actually it's just one of a number of books telling if experiences in that arena. "The Ravens" by Christopher Robbins and "Air America in Laos" by Stephen I Nichols are examples. All interesting reading!

  8. If these Thai riders you are on about used some common sense there would be no reason for increased carnage, and you can forget about "large speed differentials". Dr Tuner is not correct.
    Huh? Thai riders using common sense? You're in a parallel universe. And if you can't see large speed differentials on Thai roads every moment of every day then you're. . . blind.

  9. Wrong. I am talking about bigger bikes here, say from at least 250cc up, if other countries can allow it then so can Thailand. If the bike riders ride with common sense there would not be any more blood and guts than other vehicles, they could easily cruise at 80 or 90 Ks per Hr in the inside lane.
    Wrong. Dr Tuner is correct. This is Thailand. Thai riders with big bikes learnt how to ride on small bikes. And Thai car drivers dodge lanes way more than in other countries, add to that large speed differentials, and there's every reason for increased carnage.
