  1. Well, given what we all know about the links between competence and corruption in this country, I wouldn't have too much faith in a safety certificate issued by the anxious locals. Try bringing in fully-trained & experienced engineers from some of the less corrupt countries of the world - Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Oz, NZ, Japan ...
  2. Designed as a lesson for budding young auditors in how not to carry out audits.
  3. That's the bit that makes sirens a useful tool ... But only up to a point. If you're in a single-storey or perhaps 2- or even 3-storey building, a warning - or even the first shake - allows you to take cover under a desk or table or bed, or (as we did in the shaky isles of NZ in my childhood) stand in a doorway. The idea being to have something strong over your head. But what if you're in a high-rise building? Nothing you do - either nothing or head under the desk or head down the multiple stairs - is going to save you if the building is about to collapse. And as for racing out onto the roadway between high-rises, well I was always taught that's the last thing you should do ...
  4. And the relevance of that is what?
  5. Yes, to me - as a non-technical old person - alarm sirens seem a more practical idea for the masses of people in a huge city. And have the SMS etc technical solutions as well of course. In any case, speed is of the essence. Not necessarily a strength in Thailand ...
  6. It would be nice if the AI & other writers could master the difference between 'refute' and 'deny'.
  7. Obviously money must have changed hands. But apart from that, why would anyone think that importing 10,000 tonnes of zinc concentrate would be a good idea? Who was the 'end user' supposed to be?
  8. Why would anyone bother? I rode in a Cadillac in Canada a few years ago. Absolute pile of s...t!
  9. Well I'm homosexual so I guess my judgment in such matters is poor.
  10. Only a matter of time till Trump decides that Musk is costing him too much in popularity. Then it'll be time for the TrumpDump.
  11. Well she looks quite an attractive young woman to me.
  12. The question is Why? Why do businesses including banks lend money to people who manifestly have no capacity to pay back the loan, tomorrow or any day? Seems to me that the relevant businesses including banks have noone but themselves to blame. They are all familiar with local poverty and cultural issues.
  13. Flying from Buriram Airport already some 40km nth of Muaeng Buriram is the obvious thing to do. If you take the Thai Airways morning flight to Don Muaeng you'll be in good time to get to Suwanna by taxi or bus before your o/s flight.
  14. But that's just an excuse for doing nothing. Everyone points at everyone else ...
