I said "I seem to remember" ........... do you think that never happened?

Really, I seem to remember a few cases where the body was 'accidentally' cremated, before being returned to the west.

They find what their bosses tell then to find, which in this case will be nothing suspicious, then burn the body so nobody else can find different.

Usually people with undiagnosed heart problems discover those problems on their first dive. Not to mention E38k seems a bit pricey for flying a small box of ashes back to the UK/Ireland, 25 quid should be enough for DHL. Let's face it, there's no way the Thai authorities are gonna allow a real medical examiner to view that body.

So there's a Greek guy running the British rightwing news that wants to keep immigrants out. Has the world gone mad?

Didn't go to the right school and have the right parents is the probable answer. It's not what you know that gets you the job!

An impossible 8c in MaeJo this morning.

8c in Chiang Mai this morning.

I had it too, like the flu for a weekend (Xmas), joint pain, then gone leaving a cough for 3+ weeks. No rash.

I thought he was trying to oust Starmer. Are you claiming Starmer is good for the UK people?

Most hate and disinformation is spread by governments and their security forces.

Bought a Kindle from Hong Kong via Lazada, arrived at my home by DHL 4 days later. Problem is the Thai government hates the USA but bows to China.

I have solar and batteries, the grid can go off as often as it likes.

The Spanish explorers called California the "Bay of Smoke" in 1542, so I hardly think the burning is anything new, and certainly not Trump's fault. https://www.pbssocal.org/shows/lost-la/why-did-a-1542-spanish-voyage-refer-to-san-pedro-bay-as-the-bay-of-the-smoke

People who read are never bored!

Probably best not to build in earthquake or volcanic areas of the world.

When you build your houses and roofs of wood, fire is a problem.

I have found no benefits in supplements, but they may be of some use to those with unusual/extreme eating habits, vegans, vegetarians, etc. There is no replacement for regular exercise and a comprehensive menu.

There is no neutral in light switches!

I see no benefit in civilised people's attempting to integrate with more primitive and uneducated people's. As a Scot this maybe less of a problem for you.

Looks nice! I would definitely like to cycle along there.

After a massive aphid attack, I found it easier to buy from someone else for 5-10bht a gram. (Fis High on LINE)

Don't think I complain much about Thais, I don't really interact with them beyond simple commerce. Never been that interested in foreigners, I probably wouldn't interact socially with you either. My pals are all British! When I first arrived here I did live with a Thai lady that was a little violent, after she had hit me a few times, I just moved when she was out with no forwarding address ......... easy. I don't hit anyone, and don't allow them the opportunity to hit me.

I considered moving there in the 1980s, even went so far as to write to the Canadian Embassy in the UK, the reply I received, "we are only accepting Sikhs at this time" ........ amazing Canada!

If she allowed it to happen for 10 months, then there's something wrong with her. Employment and housing is easily available all over Thailand, so why endure it? No need to fight back, just move!
