You seem very suspicious. At his age it's quite likely that he has some inheritances plus sales of australian land and housing assets. After reading this sad, detail-less story, i am mindful that one should never risk more than you can afford to loose.

Fond memories of bikes. Mens bikes had a crossbar, that's the horizontal tube which connects between the saddle and the handlebar stems, but women had a dropped bar to allow for modesty when mounting. It meant they didn't show off their dirty underwear by swinging their leg over the saddle. That crossbar was very useful for carrying girls riding sideways.

Yes I agree. It should take a leaf from the American proverb. "For the people, of the people and by the people" In Thailand it is. For the people, of the people and buy the people.

Audimed in Bangkok (Tetsabansongkro Road, Chatuchak) has top of the range hearing aids and will fit you up with whatever you need. I have needed their help occasionally and find them friendly and helpful and fluent in English.

Hi Bob.

That's easy. Fix the pavement (sidewalk) so that crazed Americans can't fall into holes and drains.

The area I walked along is a canal walkway Bangkok’s Green Commute Plan Expands with Landmark Canal Walkway Who cares about where the area is. It is still a canal walkway and as you may have noticed, that is what the original post is about. Just as a point of interest. Many people live in small community houses that front onto the walkway. Apparently they used to live in floating or stilted shanty houses along the canal. As others have said. But for the motor cyclists it is a very pleasant area.

They already do use it. I was nearly bowled over by one a few months ago walking from Thetsaban Songkhro road to Wat Samian Nari. Everyone on two wheels with an engine uses it.

You're probably right. They're all from Chinese stock as are many others in government.

Absolutely. He has an engineering degree and is sadly not going to be building this casino complex. Google says:- "Anutin is heir to a major construction company fortune. His family's company, Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction PCL, built several government mega-projects such as Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. An engineer, Anutin served as president of Sino-Thai."

Without a doubt. Her older relatives are in control. However a muppet she is not:- From Mr. & Mrs. Google "Paetongtarn Shinawatra holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Chulalongkorn University and a Master of Science degree in international hotel management from the University of Surrey." She, and others, is proof, in my opinion, that extremely rich people should be barred from holding political office. Success in business does not equate with success in organising a country for the benefit of the people who pay them.

How is that dumb? If you were working for the local government and saw an opportunity to make 5k Baht out of every speed bump, I'm sure you'd put in as many as you could.

That's what has been created already. Motor cyclists go off road to get round them

The lies and deceitfulness of politicians never ceases to amaze me.

That's a misconception if ever I read one. People who got into the cannabis business made lots of money over the few years of legality. They may very well have invested heavily in their legal drug scheme but over time that would have yielded enough to start their next business which may be clinical cannabis or selling nuts and bolts. Who knows
