The Old Bull

Bangkok got rid of the old tax mafia that used to hang out at the airport.

Sooner or later Thailand will have to pay proper wages like Japan or Korea. Everyone in my wifes family that owns a house has it because they went overseas to work, Saudi Arabia, Japan. Taiwan. B 450 is still miserable.

Engineering most probably OK, problem is if the owner cheapes out and does not listen to the Engineer. Also I wonder if the authorities need the Engineer to sign off ?

Doesn't the military own TV and radio stations. That should make them all ineligible.

Kept all the cash without passing any up the chain, thats a no no.

The rich have always run Thailand , unless there is a radical change of government nothing will happen to inconvenience them. Thaksin's biggest sin was to show poor people that their vote counted ,that's why they run him off .They claim it's for corruption but that has always been and still is, goes with the job.

Opposite to Prayut he has all kinds of road and bridge jobs going on around his home town Korat.

What's the profit on a bottle of beer Bht 10 ? you would have to sell 300 to make Bht 3000 that's after the ones you sold to pay the bills.

I took one flying lesson 5 years ago. I remember the instructor telling how to descend and line up with the runway. I was waiting for him to take over the controls but he never did and before I knew it we had landed. So I suspect a mechanical failure because landing is not difficult if you listen to the instructor.

When somebody stole mine I replaced it with aluminium not had a problem since.

The big brewers don't want craft beer catching on. They are using their political clout to do them in.

We went to see the panda years ago ,it lived in an air conditioned building with lots of greenery. It was sleeping when we got there then it woke up took a dump and went back to sleep. Almost two days driving each way just to see that , I was not impressed.

Citizens of Switzerland and Japan don't have to pay for a visa. A reward for giving lots of hand outs to Laos.

If you put your phone and smokes in one of those plastic things you hang around your neck then they know you are up for a soaker. They stop motorcycles and soak them down might even give you a shot of Lao Khow ,lots of fun.

You can buy an anti oxidant ,it comes in a tube like toothpaste. I had no luck explaining this to a Thai electrician so I brought some from Canada where you can buy it in any electrical shop.

Years ago it was much cheaper to buy a return from Bangkok rather than the other way especially if you were going business class. The airlines caught on to this so did not like people going over on a one way ticket and then buying a cheap return from Bangkok. If you went over on points they would know for sure that you knew the system and would want to see a visa.

Years ago I told my young fellow that if he ever hope to get laid a messy room would be a turn off for sure. I told him that if he brought a girlfriend home she would take one look at his room and then come into mine. He got the message and he has had a clean room ever since and that was 30 years ago.

Used to be that if you went down by the river you could pick up AIS from Thailand. Now your phone goes over to Laos Telecom as soon as you cross the bridge.

Check out the price of eggs ,they know that a lot of farangs like to buy eggs by the dozen rather than ten or fifteen. If you figure out the price of each egg in a ten pack you will notice that you are paying double for those extra two eggs in the dozen pack.

Obviously you havn't been to Canada or the US ,they make the worst sausage in the world .Use fat and gristle to bulk it out instead of rusk so they can call it 100% meat .

Around new year I tried to book Viet Jet to Udon Thani but they were full. I noticed Air Asia was advertising a flight to Udon Thani so I booked with them. Quess what it was a code share deal and the plane I went on was the Viet Jet that they said was full.

I would like to drive in via Laos. Have not heard of anyone doing it some say RHD vehicles not allowed in Vietnam?

Get into the habit of using the bum gun instead of paper. Haven't pumped mine in 20 years.

Now we need the UK and Russian consuls to do the same and while they are at it do something about all the Nigerian princes that need a hand to bring over their billions.

Reminds me of Hitler and his SS. What I don't understand is how they convince the taxpayers to pay for Keeping so many people in jail, costs a fortune. Really ,pinching people for smoking pot and picking up hookers ,do these guys need to be kept in jail?
