No those lycra idiots are racing against their strava app trying to better their last time, head down expecting all to move out the way.
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.

Exactly, tour buses just seem to drive and park wherever they please, it looks like they're totally above any traffic laws.
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.

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.

A forum poster who had a fictitious number of 210 seats in his head?
Please don't call other posters that don't agree with your opinion delusional, because it says much about you
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."

PT lost about 70 MP positions to the MFP during this last election, I was expecting Pheu Thai to get 210 or so (they only got 141), giving MFP 151. After this betrayal/backstabbing, in the next election, I am betting MFP takes another 70 MP positions 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.

Sorry to break it to you, but Thaksin was democratically elected, not once but twice. And so was his sister
Exactly. First in 2001 and then again in 2005, which was a landslide victory.

Don't hold your breath on that. My money is on Anutin being voted as PM
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.

On 21-08-2014 he officially was appointed prime minister by the military-led interim parliament. How can this court declare him to be still prime minister after 8 years and almost 2 months when this is against the constitution? BS.

The international vaccination certificate which I received from Udon Thani Provinvial Health Office in October was accepted by Etihad Airways when I had to leave Thailand late October for Germany. In Germany it was accepted as well by hotels and public transport services. Beginning of December I had to travel to India. Again it was accepted by Air India and the local health authorities.

Thanks you two.
I've seen Holy Mary International school on the Udon-Nongkhai road, well, just off on a side street. I s'pose it's the one. No info at the gate and was closed when I went past. Covid I s'pose. Probably out of my price range. International sounds expensive already. Yes, I know, you get what you pay for.
The school you saw on Udon-Nong Khai highway is called Holy Mary Udon Thani School. My son has been attending this Montessori School for 4 years now (nursery, K1 to K3, now in P1). He is very happy there, learns a lot. They apply a very comprehensive curriculum. But it is not an international school. Excellent teachers and management. Teaching languages are both Thai and English. The fee for 1 term is appr. 30,000.- THB. Here is the link to their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/UdonthaniHolymary

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.
