Friday just after lunch, was driving around the moat in torrential rain. By the time I hit the middle ring (6km) it was dry and sunny.

I doubt a Thai insurance company would refuse a claim from a Thai policeman, no matter what the cause of the damage.

Thai policeman hits Thai wife in head with hammer ....... no charge, no crime committed. Foreigner gets stabbed by Thai gf .......... foreigner investigated by Thai police. Ah well, at least there's no racism in Thailand!

Nah, lots of Thai ladies carry a knife.

Heavy rain and thunder in San Sai for most of the night. It's amazing the difference 20km can make to the weather.

Responders must have as the man left without going to hospital.

But that would change an unsecured loan (no penalty if you default), into a secured loan.

Never argue with anyone about anything when living in Thailand. I've found this a very good life rule to follow.

Not much point in owning a handgun unless it's loaded and near your hand.

Torrential rain most of the night in CM.

So hitting your wife in the head with a hammer is not a criminal act?

My woman owed 500kbht on a car loan (car disappeared). I used to read the letter every year, the week after the time limit expired she got a 1.5Mbht mortgage loan, no more letters asking for the 500k either.

If she has no land/vehicle/savings they will do nothing beyond a letter to her registered address every year for 5 years asking for the money+ credit blacklist. After 5 years the debt will be written off and she can get credit as normal again. It used to be 10 years but they reduced that to 5 years around 3 years back.

All Thailand cities are 15 minute cities ........ the government hasn't gutted town centers like the west has done.

I used to keep a 5gal tank of petrol in the garage. Not that hard to do.

Fake news .......... applies only to commercial installs. "the bill applies to facilities with a capacity of 10 megawatts or higher to connect “with a transmission facility.” "

Do you consider Leveticus evil? The Torah seems to agree with DeSantis.

I have no objection to what anyone chooses to wear in private.

What about protecting me from seeing guys with their butt cheeks hanging out of leather s&m outfits. No hetero male should be subjected to those sights!

I didn't think they were coming for anyone. Just cleaning up public parades.

Married a girl, my age, I met at university, I was doing a B.Sc, she was doing a B.Ed. So I wasn't available between age 22 and 52. When she was divorcing me I had a gf aged 23 in my bed, another age 60 who wanted to be in my bed and was flirting/dating my local pub owner age 40. But none of the women in my life were ladies I really desired, I just took what was available. Thailand was a total shock to me, where I could pick and choose from many I found really desirable. Was happy to pay/support/educate any and all of the women around me. I'm not short of money, so why wouldn't I share?

Too wet and cold to drive a scooter in the UK. In Thailand it's always warm, and a scooter can easily get through traffic and you can park anywhere.

I always ask 'Sa-kan' If they want Promptpay they usually reply 'PromptPay' No real communication skills required.

I didn't see any of my 4 kids in the UK grow up, I was too busy working to support them. My 2 in Thailand I was with all the time, being a retired person.

My last flight from China to Chiang Mai cost 1,200bht.
