And what on earth are Thai students studying in the Sudan? -
5 Thai beaches appear on list of top 100 beaches in the world
mfd101 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Don't worry, the quickest way to ruin a 'pristine' beach is to advertize it. Should be nicely befouled and generally ruined this time next month.- 35 replies

ASEAN steps in to try and moderate Thailand’s burning issue
mfd101 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
I note that the map suggests that 90% of the Thai-generated fires are in the north, not the NE ie Isaan. I wonder why that is. Living here in south Surin the locals don't strike me as notably more rational than their northern almost-cousins ... -
The Impressive Impact Of Clean Energy Projects On Global Emissions In 2022
mfd101 replied to Scott's topic in World News
I wonder what part of the slowdown is related to economic slowdown resulting from covid/post-covid ... And how can the numbers players tell the difference between that and the 'clean' energy effect? -
In the Australian bureaucracy it means 'Interdepartmental Committee'. But I'm thinking this is quite likely not what it means on this thread.

From Brexit to Rejoin - The Inflection Point.

Never mind, the French won't allow you back in for at least a generation, so there'll be plenty of time to enjoy your symbolic sovereignty whilst your economy lies in the ditch. -

Clearly the Thai economy is moving up to First World capability. -
Here in south Surin we had our first rain last night since early December. A beautiful heavyish downpour that lasted about 15-20 minutes ... some 4 hours after I had carefully watered the shrubs. Everything sparkling and looking very cheerful this morning. The barren lawns turning greenish before our eyes ...

Looking for good SAFE cycling runs 10-40 km from Hang Dong

I guess from Hang Dong to Ban Rim wouldn't get you far? -
So I take it that the sale and the possession of is not currently legal? Which, if true, casts an interesting light on the multiple shops selling pot around Asoke when I was there 3 weeks ago for my first visit to Bangers in 3 years. Including one large and very fine-looking shop advertising seeds, flowers & medicinal ...

Not sure what 'rectification' might consist of. The Europeans won't have a bar of Britain for at least a couple of decades, possibly much more. Very educational I should imagine for the average Brit punter.

2022: A roller-coaster ride for Thailand’s cannabis industry
mfd101 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Can't help noticing the number of pot shops here in Bangers (where we're visiting from Surin for the first time in 3 years). 3 shops - one large & glamorous - just in the 100 metres between our hotel and Asoke. The only thing that rivals new pot shops both here & in Silom is the number of money exchanges. And I can't help noticing - perhaps it was always like that when we lived in BKK but I'm certainly noticing them now after 3 years away - the number of Westerners on the streets, 95% male, many single, quite a few elderly and some who should be in an ol' pipple's home. -
Cold Fronts Bringing Chills to Most of Thailand This Week
mfd101 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Currently here in south Surin 17C 'real feel 16'. And windy. I have on shirt & jeans instead of my usual shorts-only. Didn't make it across the 8 metres to the gym this morning. Snuggles time. Hot soup for brunch from PTT later this morning.
