  1. These places are dangerous especially at low water because the exposed rocks are super smooth and slippery. I slipped at one of these places twenty years ago and bent back my big toe nail. I put some tape around it and thought I had saved it till a big red ant bit me on the toe and it swelled up and popped off the nail.
  2. Things are changing with TV. I cut the cable in Canada years ago because they would not sell me what I wanted to buy. I have a smart TV mostly watch YouTube. I have been in Thailand four months and nobody young or old has turned on the TV. Raising the fees will speed up the demise of traditional media.
  3. A lot of negative comments about young Thais totally undeserved made by people with no direct involvement. It's all about the parenting, good parents make good kids.
  4. A somewhat outdated post. Nearly all the mansions in the rice fields are owned by Thais especially in the last few years. A couple of krauts showed up in the village and built mansions five years ago but Thais from the city are constantly building two of three every year.
  5. A Major General, they must have been desperate for a pinch to bring up the stats.
  6. Still not clear, did they catch him with any dope? Do they have evidence that what he was sniffing was an illegal substance?
  7. Yellow stuff not butter!
  8. I support Carney only because he will be the easiest for Poilievre to beat. Young Trudeau didn't do as much harm to Canada as wicked old Trudeau but he did enough and it will be good to see the back of him and his carbon tax.
  9. I buy Westgold from Villa ,they have some Frech butter too which is good but more expensive. Most other places have yellow stuff pretending to be butter.
  10. Nonsense, there have always been Russian spies, old news.
  11. For one million he should of been able to get a real one. You can get a PR card for a couple of hundred thousand.
  12. A typical Thai bust made long enough any political clout or protection he may have had is gone. Today's crooks, still have friends in high places so they are safe.
  13. This was Biden's war he encouraged Zelensky to antagonize the Russians subsequently he was able to enrich many US arms suppliers. Trump looks at the bigger picture as US tax payers are on the hook for this and is putting a stop to this nonsense.
  14. I went to the local grammar school , all the sixth formers made it to University one even got a scholarship to Oxford. That's as good a start as you can get.
  15. I feel sorry for them, I hope they have good contract, every hour after eight days should be overtime. When they return they are going to have problems with things like walking should be able to go after somebody for damages.
  16. The real toffs won't be effected by this ,the Eaton and Harrow types have deep enough pockets. It's the wannabe toffs that will have a problem digging a little deeper.
  17. A "jewelers ring cutter" our local doctor has one works like a dam. I hooked my ring on something and was lucky I did not rip my finger off so I had them all cut.
  18. Good, a small step forward but they have to be cleaned out on a regular basis.
  19. I am hoping something positive will come out of this, a pipeline to eastern Canada so they don't have to impost Saudi oil and can export Canadian oil. Quebec opposes this while living off Alberta oil revenues ,now is a good time to lay the law down.
  20. It's not a pissing contest there are people dying, time to end this.
  21. Where does he find doctors to do this. Isn't performing unnecessary surgery on an unbalanced person illegal even if he requests it?
  22. Parking in handicap slots $250 fine in Canada if you don't have a tag. MACRO has them barricaded off and will move the barrier if you show them your tag same in Central Plaza Udon Thani. A step forward but need many more.
  23. Somebody dropped a dime on them for sure. Nong Khai customs never check anyone's bags.
  24. What a load of bull. China does not have to invade Taiwan they just have to wait , As China's influence increases and US influence declines citizens of Taiwan will gladly align with mainland China.
