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.

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.????

Shouldn't his name read as Wataprat?

He said "she arseked for it." Only in Thailand.????

Dodging the possibility of a prison sentence maybe?????

Realy? Surely you jest. Everything appears to be above board.????

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

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

Rubbish. But then you are being sarcastic.????

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.

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.????

Olaf, the boarder, is on his way to the border, maybe.????

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.

No! You might be accused of sexual assault!????

Who is writing this stuff? What is the proofreader doing?

Streaming. This is Thailand.

Limp seaweed is a sign of a dodgy weekend. Dry and hard? Promising. It hasn't made its mind up yet.????

'Nothing out of the ordinary here. Move along, folks.' The news is about falling down or falling in almost daily.

The weather forecasting is about as much use as a one legged man in a backside kicking contest. Despite forecasts of rain and thunderstorms, my garden is looking as dry as the Gobi desert, with no significant rain in weeks. Thunderstorms are forecast for today and the sun is shining with not a cloud in the sky. My hung seaweed was a better forecasting indicator.

So where are the children's parents or guardians? They must have had someone looking after them here in Thailand. Or were they in the school's dormitories. It seems they are just being thrown from of a place of relative safety and learning, into an unknown place of civil unrest and danger. Will they receive an education? This needs more publicity and exposure. The International media would love this.
