Most of us, on this forum, are over 60 and don't have much use for sex hormones any more. But despite that at 67, I have managed to produce a 12 year old son, so the 4 years of me eating from plastic and he 35 years of mom eating from plastic didn't appear to have that negative an effect.

My greengrocer (middle aged Thai lady) died 3 days back. Her on the back of her 20 something daughters 'big bike' going to work at the market in the morning. No helmet, didn't hold on, daughter accelerated, mom went over backwards and hit her head on the road. Instant death, no drugs, alcohol or other drivers involved.

The weather is a problem in Thailand. In Thailand you need to grow undercover, too many sudden winds, generally too hot and extreme rain, so the best Thai grows would be in warehouses. Not to mention the Thais have no idea what they're doing or what they're growing.

They don't check anything (and stamp that on your completed form).

Kill them all. Best to keep people safe. Anyway this thread has geed me up to have the pitbull that barks at me removed from my Moobaan. Will start that process after lunch.

Another silly post.

That's just silly, most dogs aren't strong enough to be considered dangerous.

I don't think they invested in anything ........ which is the problem.

IMHO anyone that keeps a dangerous dog is a bad person.

You could always move.

It's 2 months.

There's one near where I walk in the mornings. Runs out and slams against the fence every time I go past frothing and rattling the bars in a complete out-of-control frenzy. If it got out it would try to kill me, which is why I always carry a steel baton with me. All dogs that try to attack passers by should be killed. No matter what breed or size.

My kid is trying to get a job in customs, she says the wages are rubbish, but the tips from customers are amazing.

It arrives by the container load and customs officials are bribed not to look in it.

The military are there to see the cops do their job and don't accept a pay-off. Fairly common to see military with cops at checkpoints around Chiang Mai. The police corner by the dirty klong in Loi Kroh being one place with both.

More likely there were no viewings booked and the broker scammed you. Love the Booking.com 'there are only 2 rooms left in this area' messages.

Lucky escape for the lady, and her injuries don't look that bad.

20 something year old tourist ladies are completely capable of driving themselves off the road without drink, drugs or any other drivers being involved. Picked one off the road myself a few years back, had got off the plane (CM) in the morning, rented a m/c in the afternoon and attempted to drive up to Wat Doi Suthep. Fell of at the first steep bend, sliding across the oncoming lane and into the drainage ditch. Lucky for her there were no oncoming cars or glass windows to drive into, but she wasn't wearing much and lost a lot of skin all over. I drove her back to her hotel, and my pillion passenger drove her m/c back. Call me a sexist if you want, but I've never seen a guy do that!

I assume such people have so much money they don't care, or are just stupid.

I'd pay the 30k for a new engine, seems like a very reasonable price.

Only if you're stupid! Why would you care what she's thinking? Do you worry that the girl serving your lunch is happy in her work? What about the woman that cleans your room? These are all service staff working to earn money, no need to think about them at all.

Complete nonsense, I've stayed in several 6k/month guesthouses. Memorable were NuanPranee Guesthouse (near MoonMuang), and Emporium Residence (Santhitham). Both 6k/month + 6k deposit, my electricity bills were around 600-1000bht/month.

A pal of mine stayed there, I didn't think it was anything special either. 100 other guesthouses to choose from with the same quality of rooms but 33% cheaper.

Giving a check without the funds to pay is an automatic jail sentence in Thailand. Bounce it then make a police report.

I suggest we all do a Love is Hate (1984 style) so they get rid of the 'love' icon as well!
