You've never heard of dye? How long have you lived in black hair Asia? -
Colds and Flus... We've known about the different strains of flu for many years. Makes you wonder why they didn't get better distinctions; bird flue, swine flu, avian flu, influenza viruses: A, B, C and D. Human influenza A and B viruses cause seasonal epidemics of disease (known as the flu season). I wonder how many times the common cold has mutated and why we don't hear all the hodge podge of different variants. We have certainly gotten a bit of an education (if you've been paying attention) in the past 18-20 months about virology.

What SE Asean country has the most National holidays?
AgMech Cowboy replied to ASEAN NOW News's topic in General Topics
No expert, but I think you'll find Malaysia has more than Thailand. They celebrate Muslim, Christian and Hindu/Buddhists religious days plus many 'State'/Federal Government holidays, too. Also, half of Friday is a not spent 'working'. -
Will Pheu Thai’s shiny new image win it an ‘overwhelming’ victory?
AgMech Cowboy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Ah, you must be talking about all the vote buying PT does upcountry... Personally, I hope they never win again. -
I concur with the former PM. The flood was not her fault. It was the bureaucrats who spent all their time kowtowing to the 'new' government and didn't pay attention to their jobs and the water levels in the reservoirs upcountry. Then Thailand had a number of tropical storms sweep across Vietnam & Laos in short time frames, which dumped large amounts of water into those reservoirs. Next thing you know the sluice gates were opened and here came the water. No place to put it, especially when the Bangkok Governor closed his flood gates to protect Bangkok (which was his job). Her and Pheu Thai's big crime was the rice price fiasco.

Car been idle for 3 years, change tyres?
AgMech Cowboy replied to Velleman's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Interesting comments and thanks for the subject. I've a car back in home country, which has been sitting for most of 3+ years. I 'may' go back in March and will face the same concerns; although, I changed its oil and had the transmission serviced with trans-oil change before I left, hoping to cut down any settling 'sludge'. -
Whats your neighbours and privacy like?
AgMech Cowboy replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Private, yes, secure, yes, peaceful, yes!! I live in Pathum Thani in a gated village near Thanya Golf Club. There are 4-5 villages off of Lamlukka 71. Three are 'gated' with security. There are a few foreigners living here, but mostly middle class Thais. (and some rich Thais). -
Then do everything possible to keep 'em all alive. (not complaining, just an observation)

Unless it's from a news source that the so called 'fact checkers' deem to be 'poor quality' or spreading rumors.

Parties reveal PM candidates for next general election
AgMech Cowboy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Maybe, but 1-1/2 years is in some worlds a long time from now. In others, it's just a blink. 17 months ago there was no COVID19 (known to the world, just the CCP and the bat lady). -
Buy used car with finance from bank/shop
AgMech Cowboy replied to Faeton's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Your wife 'might' be able to get the loan, if the bank/shop will accept your guaranty of the loan. -
Absolute rubbish. I had no problem getting my wife one even though she has no job in Thailand. But, she owns land, has a nice bank account and a 13 million baht house. She's not going to stay in the USA. Sorry for your troubles, but don't blame Trump. Good luck with your application; although, the border is open.

Do you shower before getting in your condo pool in Thailand?
AgMech Cowboy replied to bbabythai's topic in Bangkok
It is more hygienic to take the shower before entering the pool. It removes natural body oils, sweat and other 'potential' things from your body (crumbs, hair, buggers ????, rug fibers, dirty, etc.). If you've just had one before coming down, you can politely explain that to anyone, like the polite man who approach you at the condo. No way would I be upset or defense with someone who approached me. It just means they care about the place and the facilities. -
Flooding in Thailand should not be as bad as 2011, say experts
AgMech Cowboy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
While the Government agencies in charge ran around kowtowing to the new Government and not paying attention to their jobs. All of a 'sudden', it was oh <deleted>, the reservoirs are full. We must open the gates and the Bangkok Governor said, not through my City and Province. It was just an absolute failure by the bureaucrats not taking care of their business. -
The sky really is falling.
