Well, I go early to bed. Around 8 PM usually (only when there is a F1 race then I can commit myself to stay awake longer 🙂 )But I have been doing this since I am a child. I am 63 now, and it's still the same. I guess it has something to do with the 'internal clock'. It is what it is. Does it make me healthy or healthier? I don't think so. I usually get up at 2 AM. What is the benefit? I feel tired at latest at 10 AM again and have to take a nap. Did it make me wealthy? Definitely not. Does it make me wise? This is up to others to decide. It's a biological thing. Not a decision you can make.

In the meantime I also see these lycra guys every early morning in our village in the countryside here in Udon Thani. I guess that all of them are government officials who follow the example of you-know-who. Will see if they wear yellow lycra suits on Mondays now 🙂

Whoever rides a bicycle in urban areas in Thailand is playing Russian roulette. Day or night (which is even worse). I do not even touch my car at night. Of course this does not excuse any reckless driving of locals. But it seems to be the norm. The bigger and heavier the vehicle is, the more rights they claim. Lack of education and training and disrespect of others. RIP, old man. Pity you very much. Hope the killer driver gets caught and brought to justice.

well, who of the locals are not above the law here? It's the Wild East 🙂

It is not Thai culture to greet each other all the time. Same as in all other countries around planet Earth as well.

it's an old picture while the new PM of Thailand visited Hun Sen last year in Cambodia

No, Sir.

Same here. My ex-wife, Vietnamese, went totally beserk during a discussion (it was not even an argument) and attacked me with a knife, in front of our son. To defend myself I grabbed the knife and slapped her. Then she called the police. Police arrived at the house and she tried to convince them that I attacked her. Well, my son was there and told the police officers what really happened. The officers told her to shut up and never call the police again, when she is the attacker, otherwise they will arrest her. One of the police officers said to me:"Do you really want to stay with this crazy gal in the same house?" What I understood was 'run Forrest, run!' I ran. This happened in Germany. Have been living happily here in Thailand since 2011.

Quote: "Pheu Thai came in second place with 141 seats. Leading up to the election, leaders had broadcast their intention to win a “landslide” of at least 310 seats, but rumors of a Pheu Thai alliance with Palang Pracharat may have cost them much of the pro-democracy youth vote. A week before the elections, former prime minister Thaksin also tweeted his intention to return to Thailand in July, which could have caused anti-Thaksin swing voters to turn away from Pheu Thai."

Agreed. MFP will gain more support in the next elections due to their consistentcy on their political agenda. Voters appreciate parties that stay true to their principles and deliver on their promises. The young generation has had enough of the uncles and dinosaurs who are totally out of touch on what is going on in the country.

Exactly. First in 2001 and then again in 2005, which was a landslide victory.

This is exactly what I have been saying even before the elections. Wait and see. ????

I am not surprised. The divide between Pheu Thai and Move Forward has been evident for some time now, particularly regarding the issue of 112. It is unfortunate that they couldn't find common ground during their meeting, leading PT's decision to form a separate coalition government and abandon the MoU they signed only a few weeks ago. I only hope the welfare of the Thai people remains a priority. It will be interesting to see how Srettha Thavisin's nomination as the prime minister unfolds and what this means for Thailand's future, in particular as PT announced to hold another referendum about a new constitution. Another intervention by you-know-who is just around the corner.
