  1. Most of you do not watch Thai TV, but your partners do, so ask them about this.

    A while ago there was an undercover group who filmed exactly what these bus drivers do. They caught them red handed, on video, selling the gas from the bus. They drivera they confronted said they make up for the lost gas by the downhill part of the mountain, using the engine less and the brakes more. THAT is why the breaks always fail, because many of them don't downshift and also use the engine, they brake it all the way, until they fail.

    This is all documented on video and shown on Thai TV a few years ago. Yet, over and over and over again, here we are, because there is a few hundred baht to be made.

  2. And what of the trafficked beggars? Their sad situation legalized by the Thai government?

    Perhaps the government should first figure out if they are begging of their own free will or not, otherwise, this will turn into a brothel like situation where their handlers will legally put them on the streets, which in turn will cause more people to be trafficked and turned into beggars.

    May I be the first to say this is a horrible idea. Help them, don't enable them.

  3. Incidentally, the word professional gets tossed around a lot. A true professional is someone with a terminal degree. Without citing the degrees - doctors, lawyers, certified cpa's, scientists, engineers with adv degrees, teachers, etc.

    People building websites and managing social media, spammers, content scribblers are not professionals.

    If they are good at what they do and earn a living doing it, they are professionals.

  4. Since I posted in that thread a few years ago, it has become more difficult to find Diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Apparently kids were using it to get high - which is hard to imagine. Any way there are a couple of places that still stock it, and one is the Green Pharmacy in the basement of Kad Suan Kaew, right across from Tops Market. You'll need to catch the owner in (the friendly guy with glasses), as he keeps it locked up and only he can access it. He only stocks 50 mg. tablets but you can break it in half if you need to as the tablets are scored. I believe 10 tablets are 75 THB.

    Thank you, I'll have a look there.
