Udon Thani Traffic Police Officers Suspended Amid Bribery Scandal
The Old Bull replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
He takes out his ticket pad then he takes out his pen. If the pen doesn't touch the paper then you know he is negotiable. I have only had to pay twice in twenty two tears. First time for going straight through when I was in the left turn lane . He was quick , I am sure he had the ticket written before coming to the window ,just had to add my name. The second time I got stuck at the lights behind someone turning right and the light went to red. He was young spoke perfect English and had a fairly pale complexion, did not look like he needed any tea money. -
UK: Jamaican Drug Offender Avoids Deportation After ECHR Appeal
The Old Bull replied to Social Media's topic in World News
If someone is ordered deported they should be taken straight to the airport not even stopping at the 7/11 for a toothbrush but then the lawyers would not get to feed. Releasing deadbeats into society guarantees the court system will always have work, lawyers,judges, court workers ,probation officers etc. It's surprising how many people one scumbag can keep employed. -
The Profitable Global Climate Change Hoax/Con/Lie
The Old Bull replied to Red Phoenix's topic in Off the beaten track
Insurance companies will believe in anything that can make them an extra dollar or justify rejecting a claim. -
When my old lady walks by and sees scantily dressed women on my computer screen I get teased. I have to explain they are adds put there by TEMU not by me every time.Thankgoodness they appear to have cut back on the adds.

Death penalty sought for Korean murderer in Pattaya
The Old Bull replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
I do not believe any government should be in the business of killing people, Two wrongs don't make a right. -
Must be a Yank anybody not right of Attila the Hun is a leftie. Biden is senile not smart enough to cause any problems.Handed that little Ukrainian weasel too much money. The "rust belt" did not get rusty overnight, I remember old Bush saying how smart it was to move car parts factories a few feet over the border to Mexico. Free trade and globalism was cool till it bit them in the ass ,now the pendulum has swung the other way and the tariffs are coming out. Meanwhile China builds highways, bridges and high speed railroads , the US builds aircraft carriers.

Thailand Unveils E-Visa System, Streamlining Travel for 2025
The Old Bull replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I have made two three month Non-O visas online. A reasonably smooth process however each embassy employee likes to add their own touch so you will need some kind of other piece of paper depending who you are dealing with. -
I've had enough of the Tourist Ghettos in Thailand!
The Old Bull replied to BarBoy's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
A few questions you must answer before moving to the sticks. For example what kind of internet access do you need? What kind of food do you need, if you need farang food you may have to stock up and cook your own? Most people only speak Thai or Issan dialect, can you deal with that? I get along fine in the sticks , in twenty two years of coming to Thailand I have never been to Pattaya, only been to Chiang Mai once ,only been to Phuket once and that was enough. -
Why Do Thai Girls Love Getting Tattoos?
The Old Bull replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
What a pile of negative comments, personally I like a little ink. Best when it only shows if they undress. -
Thailand Targets Tougher Alcohol Laws to Align with Global Norms
The Old Bull replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So if the boys are drinking they can't send one of their daughter to the village shop for a bottle of Lao Khow and a pack of smokes, they will have to go themselves. I don't see that as an improvement. -
Thaksin Announces New Anti-Drug Task Force Led by PM Paetongtarn
The Old Bull replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The problem will continue as long as they only go after the low hanging fruit to make themselves look good. They never seem to work up the chain to catch the real money men, happy with bagging the poor guys at the bottom. -
ISIS Recruiter 'Umm Nuteella' Faces Up to 70 Years in Prison
The Old Bull replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The nut house more appropriate than the jailhouse, she seriously needs treatment. Or better still let ISIS have her. -
Are Thais taught basic arithmetic?
The Old Bull replied to Lacessit's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I went to buy a case of twelve UHT milk advertised at $25 per case but I noticed the price per item on the shelf was $1.76 so I asked the cashier to ring them through one at a time. She baulked saying the price per case was always cheaper so we were at a standoff till the manager showed up .After much head scratching and calculating he finally agreed and rang them through one at a time. Another one you have to look at is sugar sometimes two 500g bags are cheaper than 1 kilo. Justa couple of weeks ago I bought two 500ml whipping cream cheaper than a1 liter box. -
Thai woman caught smuggling 6 million baht of cocaine into Japan

Seems expensive in Canada I can get a kilo delivered to my door for around 900,000 ฿ but I would sooner have a beer. -
Elton John Speaks Out: Legalizing Cannabis is a Grave Mistake
The Old Bull replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Haven't smelt a whiff of weed on the breeze since they made it legal in Canada. Young people like to rebel but since smoking weed is legal it is no longer a form of rebellion so is less popular. You know where you are at with booze but weed is sneaky stuff you don't realize how stoned you are till you get up to walk across the room. -
JK Rowling Declines Peerage and Damehood, Citing Personal Beliefs
The Old Bull replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It's a reward for staying in the UK and paying mega taxes instead of running off to some tax haven. Cliff Rihards, Paul McCartney, Elton John and more. -
He can't impose any tariffs till he is in the Whitehouse. What he is doing is testing the waters to see the amount of blowback from his own people. For example pasta makers like Canadian wheat, if they have to pay 25% more by the time it gets to the customers it will bee higher and they will be pissed off. How many oil companies in Canada have extensive US capital, another problem. The auto industry another can of worms best left unopened.

Is there anything good about getting old?
The Old Bull replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
You get to park nearer the shop door. That's the only benefit I can think of. -
Do you wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Thailand?
The Old Bull replied to MalcolmB's topic in General Topics
I don't wear one going to the village shop for a pack of smokes but put one on when I go to town. -
Small girls are nice and can't do you any harm but stay away from men or women that are built like men.My spine is deteriorating so I can see no benefit from anybody messing with it. Had a foot massage from one of these women built like men had a hard time walking for three days. As for letting someone crank on my neck not a chance that will happen.
