My wife's irritable every morning.???? Election results or no election results. I never broach the subject of royalty, religion, or politics. I think normal discussion on anything here is not easy. Face and greng jai is a great impediment in Thailand. I've found that to disagree with someone does not go down well. Each nationality has its norms I suppose. I heed the motto. 'A still tongue keeps a wise head.'????

Sad. But common in the older generation I suspect.

Camp?

I'm not a medic, but if they were breathing, their hearts were pumping? Was CPR necessary? Surely trying to clear their lungs would have been the way to go. I saw a Thai man throw an almost drowned man over his shoulder and jumped up and down. A stream of water was regurgitated and the person began to breath. I hope the boys recover completely.

No, this is simply another regular maintenance item that has been left to deteriorate for many years. It got to a point where it was dangerous to go into the tunnel from the bright sunlight into the dark gloom.... and trying to get headlights on, sunglasses off.... 

Yes. It happened to me. No lights in the tunnel and driving into pitch blackness from bright sunlight. Scary. I wrote about this more than a month ago. I wonder if any accidents have occured in the tunnel since then?

So that's where my crockery has disappeared to. I thought it had gone to the Wat and been forgotten.????

Maintaining it is another storey. 

But how many story's. Bloody auto correct.????

you're right. in the last say 20 years though how many times has this happened ? 

 

 

But now after twenty years of use and maybe a lack of maintenance, things like this will happen.

DL is very easy to take, probably a week, just join one of those private companies that teach her and when she is ready they will test her directly probably in the same day, I paid 1000 baht for this service and it worked great.

Isn't this procedure just what gets people killed or injured? I doubt that they teach road awareness, rules of the road and adhering to them. Tell me I'm wrong. It might enable a person get a license. But a license doesn't mean you are a proficient rider.

1. No license no motorbike.

3. No training no motorbike.

4. Everything in order? Have fun with your new motorbike.

Where do you get motorcycle training in Thailand. Serious question.

Today I cannot get Bangkok Post online. I get 404 Time Out. Anyone else having the same problem or is it my computer playing up?

My brain hurts! I'm 89. As Eric Burdon sang. 'I've gotta get out of the place. If it's the last thing I ever do.' Well, it will be. The world is turning upside down.????

Would have been smarter to leave some poison baits around late at night when nobody can see anything.

Beating the animal to death is far more humane than poisoning it. Don't farmers in developed countries still shoot dogs that ravage their animals? They used to in the UK and rightly so. Unfortunately there are now too many who treat their dogs like human beings. We had visitors this weekend. On their departure the owner said, "Say goodbye to the dog." My immediate thought was to give that person a soldier's farewell. The dog would have enjoyed it and burst it's raincoat it has to wear. Pathetic. I like dogs. All the dogs I've had were treated like dogs and trained not to kill chickens. . Now bring on the dog pampering brigade's comments.

A KASETSART University academic said the accident at Don Mueang Airport whereby a female passenger’s left leg was severed till the knee after it was swallowed by a moving walkway was caused by loose bolts holding down a metal plate at the end of the conveyor belt, Naewna and Matichon newspapers said Friday (July 7).
