Someone in his family should sell their car or something before it's an international charity case. Just because we're expats in Thailand why should this affect us more than charity of people back home or our own family? Not to mention charity for millions of Thais in need in the country we're living. It doesn't sit right with me either.

I'm paranoid because I've seen enough nonsense so I may have just stopped immediately when I noticed a truck getting that close to me as a reflex but who knows. The average tourist has no idea right of way doesn't exist here and this is a source of many of the accidents I think.

That guy wasn't even "cycling" per se just riding a bike on the side of the road. Could have been a motorbike or a walking even. The lorry snuck up on him and turned without looking. Not sure what anyone could have done about that.

people that drive those are often low class people quite frankly. I see them misbehaving constantly and expect others to get out of their way. This may may been an accident though because the bike was so near and under the view of the mirrors.

I have hard water where I live and if it's not too thick vinegar takes it off. I should get that acid though probably. Thanks for the tip.

yes I mean all the transfers from abroad. So you transfer 65k one month, use 40k then transfer the remaining 25k back out. Otherwise would start to accumulate money in your Thai back account you're not using but maybe that's the point.

Does ASEANNOW get kick backs for posting these GoFundMe stories? I don't understand they get published here. This man had a Thailand related YouTube channel he was running before he got brain cancer and will die soon. Many people struggling in need of extra money so what is different about this guy?

Just curious, do they check to make sure you didn't withdrawal the money in the same month? If you don't use the full 65k can you just top it off the next month or do they need to see a fresh 65k every month and no withdrawals?

Is this a major city? Are they well paid and fully occupied by their company? It's the same all over the world. If you put a woman in this position she won't have a family and work until she dies like the men.

and now this conflict has been imported into the UK so the general population has to deal with it. All of this could have easily been avoided.

Non-Asian breakfast so no boiled rice or fried chicken and sticky rice. 🙂

This would be splitting the atom for the Thai police. Stop everything and learn to do this first, then come back and address the problem.

There's been a multi decade campaign to deconstruct white racial identity all over the West.

Look at what's happening with USAID now in America. These NGOs are just slush funds with some "humanitarian" veneer to sell to the public. The government employees make money by taking from the tax payers and then dump Somalians in to your town. They go home as smug savers of the world loaded with sacks of cash and you're left wondering why girls keep getting their genitals carved up with razorblades by their parents. https://www.voanews.com/a/female-genital-mutilation-somali-community-united-states/3557311.html

This photo always cracks me up. 😂

What is all this nonsense about "radical Islam" they love feeding us. If you have enough Arab Muslims in your country this will eventually happen. You just need to clear them out and be done with it already.

They would literally have to start executing people caught starting fires to make them stop and even then I think they'd still try it. Most of the people up in the mountains are not Thai even, they're hill tribes from China, Burmese and various mixed races. They could give a damn about air quality. Last thing on their minds.

Ah yes lovely Chiang Mai "The hidden Jewel of Southeast Asia. The Rose of the North." Never a truer statement uttered. After I finish this fancy latte in a restaurant packed full of Chinese tourists and hippy backpackers girls I'm going to step outside to inhale some authentic Lanna Kingdom smoke.

A German buffet. Huge menu it looks like too. Extremely painful location for me to get to but I'll try it sometime. https://www.facebook.com/@aufderaubistro https://aufderaubistro.com/dinner/

I think this one? https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61562037823386

I saw that signs so many times before but I never knew what it was. Thanks! https://www.facebook.com/route66cnx/

I lived in Pai in 2005-2006. Hot springs were free, you could just show up and go in. The walking streets weren't there, just a normal town with some tourist shops and some drunk farangs that would sit and drink all day in a couple spots. 20 baht for fried rice was the going rate.

It's a traveling colony. They only go to places where other people like themselves go and congregate pushing out the locals. For these world travelers the world is merely a backdrop to their self-indulgent lifestyle.

You think that's bad? This is what I had to see that last week. I'm certain most of these people came from Pai for the Chiang Dao Shambala festival. It's a traveling circus but they're in denial that they're clowns.

Bangkok speculators are a plague. I really despise them.
