Most of my Thai family call me Uncle, and the older ones call me Hawee, as the cannot say Harvey very well.

  They will tell theri friends that i am from Canada, if asked so i have not heard the term farang hardly at all.

I find the weather much too hot in March and especially April. I like the Loei Khratong Festival much better.

  Over the Christmas holidays though i found too many tourists around and prefer to holiday in between 

the festival times to be more enjoyable. When I was in my 30s I did experience a Songkran festival in 

Pattaya and it was wild and dangerous.

I took a tour with my Thai family and seen Rawai beach. It was totally developed and we enjoyed a nice dinner there

then went back to Phuket city to a guest house for our stay. I am glad that we had a Thai friend drive us around in his 

10 passenger Toyota van and he was a cautious driver who did not swerve all over the place and our drive back to Bangkok was

enjoyable as well. We stopped into a few places where the restaurant food was great. I still like visiting Thailand and

being with my Thai family makes the stay very enjoyable as I have them shop for me and have not been ripped off for my last 4 trips.

Rock On Thiland. 

Did America elect Trump to be a dictator? I do hope that the rest of the government system in the USA

can tell him to back off. Is congress and the other departments of the government so weak that

Trump can do what ever he wants? Just wondering.

This guy did drugs and died. It does not matter what his career was, as now he is dead.

Hamas is a terroriost group. It has no business being in Gaza and needs to give up its hostages and prisoners.

  If the Palestine people want to keep Hamas as their leadership, well say good bye to Gaza.

In My Opinion.

I hope this will be a wake up call to build better, but I fear that corruption

is so strong in Thailand and Asia that this will not be the last building to collapse.

Good Luck to the people who have to work in these high rise sky scrapers.

Trump and JP Vance will go down in history ad the 2 worst leaders for the USA.

  A recession is coming to the USAand a lot of the world, I hope Trump and his followers are happy now.

I think this German needs a big fine, jail time then deportation and banned 10 years

for sure. I hate thieves.

Remember that it is April, one of the hotte4st months in Thailand, the Winter high season is over folks.

  Only the expats and retired people around the world travel when schools are also back in session.

  TAT will not do any reminder of these facts for you, either.

I am just so happy that I am not a Thai person that has to work in any highrise office tower in Bangkok or

anywhere in Thailand in a high rise building. My one relative ran 15 floors to get out of her building after

she felt the quake. She is working from home now for a while. i hope the building inspectors do a good

job looking at her offrice tower. I wish all Thais good luck.

I am glad that got back to earth okay. I am glad that Spaxe X is doing okay with its programs.

I thought that there are 2 space vehicle at the ISS that in an emergency can used to return 

the Astronauts or Cosmonauts to earth.  With all of Trumps lies, i cannot see many people

 believing his version of this story. In My opinion anyway

I used to ride my Honda 125CC bike around the Hua Hin area, and every year I see less and less helmets

being worn by Thai and Forein riders. I have not sympathy when I read of someone crashing and

getting killed, because they did not wear a helmet. My Thai relatives in Bangkok all wear helmets when they

take a motorcycle ride in the city. They know that their chances are better, and they can always comb their hair

when they are not on the bikes.  Good Luck  in Thailand, and keep yourself medically insured when you

are in the country, it is not cheap to be in a private hospital when you wake up after your crash.

Wow, seven whole day for the investigation? Well I hpe the authorities get a good look at those documents

the Chinese fuys were caught hauling away from the area.

I wish her luck, and hope she keeps herself medically insured for her stay in Thailand.

  I think the heat of March and April, and the rainy season may wear on her eventually.

If she can stay and make enough money, well good for her.

A big fine, and some jail time plus deport this guy and ban him for at least 5 years from being in Thailand.

  That should be what happens to this loser, in my opinion.

The building that collapsed was in the dangerous part of its construction, and it would seem that 

the basic structure was not as strong as it shuld have been to take the sway factor of the earth quake.

  I am glad that most people were able to get away from the area near the building. The people working

inside the building basically had very little warning.

In my opinion.

America has problems with Trump being the leader, and needs new blood to be ready when this Flim Flam man

finally get booted from the White House.  Good on Bernie as I think the American media is scared to

tell Trump to shut up.

My opinion of course.

Sometime in the distant past, there were trees growing in the arctic.

  I guess the earth was quite warm for that to happen. If we are headed for

another hot spell on Earth, I guess we will all have to adapt. quit buying

ocean side properties, and we will have to have places like giant green houses to 

grow food if the nateral fields all fail. It is nice that the scientists can keep us

all informed of what the future will look like.  Climate Crisis sounds negative, 

how about we come up with a more positive phrase? Ideas?

I had a heart attack on Dec 5th, and if my Sisdter in Law had not given me CPR

and the heart surgeon would not have put in a stint, i would be dead, so

yes I think that was a near death experience.

Living in the tropics is one reason some people seem happy.

  Living in a country with cold Winters, can make other people seem less happy.

I think the happiness survey is quite flawed. Some people think they need to be rich to be happy.

  If we do not get wiped out by a war, or an astroid or comet, we should just be happy to 

have peace in some parts of the world. IMO of course
