Being a Yank, I had to look up the phrase "a meat and two veg." ????

Being a Canuck, I didn't have to look it up. It was too obvious.

Is a Lamborghini left or right hand drive? And which side did the driver(?) exit?

Question #1-Yes.

Question #2-the driver's side.

 "...with 2100kg of eggs..." Equally questionable is where was it stated that the pickup was carrying eggs weighing 2,100kg?

It wasn't stated-I think he did some higher math to determine that weight.

Easy come...easy go.

Must be a slow news day!

 

10 or so years ago I needed to be collected from a local train station, where I planned to drop my motorbike off for something later that day. Instead of trying to find, waiting for, or giving business to the win riders near the train station, I invited a guy from my local rank to follow me and pick me up. Therefore making directions back really simple, and keeping the business as local as possible. The <deleted> wanted to charge me double, because he had to ride there and back... claiming that he was unable to earn any (other) money in either direction.

 

That was the last time I every gave him any business! ????

Double fare for double journey seems right to me.

So did the guy actually die?  The "article" seems to be missing that rather vital piece of information

"Police found the victim floating in the bloodied bath dressed only in a pair of black shorts"

I don't think he was just relaxing.

The problem is, you don't know how many exits there are when you visit the club.

Sit by the entrance then.

Fascinated? Yes. Terrified? No.

if he had cameras the thiefs would just wear head covers or spray the cameras with black paint.

if he had a dog the thiefs would just kill the dog first.

 

No amount of security will stop a burglar getting into your property if he really wants something.

 

Not true. I always use red paint.

I am wondering why, for the most part, police checkpoints are only staffed until midday.

I've only encountered one cop I could say was bent, in a minor way. Fined me 200 baht for going up a one-way street the wrong way, while ignoring several Thais doing the same thing. He suggested it would save me the trouble of going to the police station.

I thought fair enough, it would have cost me a lot more in Oz.

Lunch time

Excellent video.

they do that all the time here. Walk in our front gate and help themselves to mangos when they are in season or walk down to the back yard, all of which are fenced off and help themselves to whatever might be growing at the time, e,g, lettuce, chilli, pumpkins, sweet potato, bananas. Took me a while to get used to it, but that's what they do.

One quality I love about Thais is their ability to share food with anyone and everyone with no expectations. Meanwhile westerners tend to keep a mental tally of everything that is owed to them.

Smuggling, evasion of tax/duty.

Similar rules to illegal importation of alcohol.

Just because possession of cannabis is legal now (mostly) doesn't mean it's a free-for-all.

The smugglers were not caught. The Thais merely picked up some sacks in Thailand.

In my day Playboy was my book of evil. Maybe Thailand could have it's own playboy but leave out the pictures. But who would but it?

Lots of people-just for the articles.

Thanks to all the diligent research being done. I have a question for all or any here. My biggest concern, is the use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. I know that Thai farmers like the stuff.

So a test of purity for me is the ash. Can you folks tell me when giving a critique on a certain product, if the ash you get is black and chunky or white to light gray. I like to know what I'm ingesting.

Thanks in advance.
