2 things of note.    

What crazy idea for a punishment.  Must have some history.  

Seems like it would be quite painful. And my first thought was  surely a teacher knows the risks of needle sharing!

2nd thing is that evidently all these kids kept their secret  to protect one of their own even knowing they were next in line.  So this explains how a whole village won't tell the farang, the common knowledge,that his house he built for his wife is more like a brothel while he is off working. 

5500 she must be top shelf.   These workers need official status and legal protection. 

Finally took rime to block gamma

Smashed?  We wish justice was so swift and accurate ,but we know this isn't true.  The boss. 

I have it but most part it doesn't effect my life.  That I'm aware of. 

Surprising they just dont decree that there shall be no talk of the air.   Sad to hear its so bad for you guys. It was pretty bad during our visit last winter.   Very fresh smelling air  here ice fishing yesterday.  Felt like a very slow day just over 1 fish/ hour.  Some beautiful cutthroat and 2 bows.  

All you spay and neuter folks needs to put your money where your mouth is. 

Im guessing the monks give all the extra and crap food they dont want to the dogs.  Its a good disposal method and they get some real love.  

Interesting.   Seems like things grow so fast seeding would be so easy.  But if you have the money sod in the US stops the muddy mess quickly and looks great in a few weeks.  Best to amend the soil prior and make sure there won't be settling.   If any deep trenches try to water and settle those first. 

Really no different up keep than an established lawn.   Sounds like they just want your mowing, fertilizing, and herbicide contract.  

In Thailand do many homes use sprinkler systems? 

Im a skeptic of these coatings.  And what about the ceramic UV reducing window coatings.?  Nah.     I do like the clear bra plastic film coatings on the front and mirrors.  It really does protect from small rock chips but not big ones. 

Hoping for an update soon.  

The burn map looks rhe same as last year.  Its obvious they must get Cambodia to agree to do something or its hopeless   

If they really got serious about farmer fires the exports amd GDP would suffer plus no votes.  

The government needs to  cancel those subs and buy new farm equipment.  And teach farmers gow ro use new farning methods, composting, siliage feed, etc 

Big penalties for  companies  buying burnt cane. 

Get nearby countries, esp Cambodia to do something.  Burma probably to busy with that genocide thing.  Cambodia farmers more poor and uneducated than Thailand. 

I think they see liver damage kills more than lung issues or lung issues are more from parasites from eating nam pla.  

Yearly Emission testing of all ICE would ne logical but  how much of the city fleet would pass.  

As far as plane safety and the oikot safety comment im sure the Air Force said our 1 c3 is 60+ years it cant handle 20 water drops a day.  We want new stuff. 

What happened to those big expensive filter units from 2 years ago they were putting around BKK? 

Hard to upgrade a country so much now.  Maybe should have thiught about this during 2018-19 when tourism was peaked. 

We get an inversion and bad here occasionally and its a terrible feeling when you shouldnt go outside to exercise or at all.   

Some decibel numbers may help your pleas.  Sounds like the pump bearing went bad.  Then rebuilt pump same.  Maybe a pump rebuilt by an outside reputable p7mp shop would be quieter.  

Quite a few bad situations.   No 9ne mentioned the morning monk chants 2 kn away so at least thats good.   

10 year anniversary in Colorado and the sky didn't fall.   Jad aome great edibles over xmas.   The sleeping gummy worked good for 5 hours , zero after effects.  2 chocolates 10 mg each and i was happy dor 5 hours but no way could  I drive.     I think the chocolate were 2.70$ each.  

I read the journals of Lewis and Clark.   Dog was a favorite with the group .  I recall a passage where the indians thought it odd how often they requested and ate dogs.

I could only read 3 pages. 

Johnny F.   You show us how f' ked up any country's people are to accept royalty. 

So the prince stayed 3 weeks and was celibate?  Lol.   

Its not like 17 yr olds who are stating at a posh beachside resort eating amazing food and not doung any real wirk are thinking about a 20 year in the future payday.  

We all know how chauvinistic the World is today and can recall 20 years ago how it was more so.   The real question is not if all these men on the list are guilty but what did Epstein and others gain from the blackmail info?

I have had several friends do this line-up method with Thai and Filipino ladies. Eventually you can find a very good companion. Lots of fish in the sea, some taste better than others.

 

Taste is important!!!    Hope OP does post a followup.  He sounds like a caring and smart guy.  It just seemed so obvious  on my first trip that if  both gal 1&2 ( only had 7 days so don't bash me)  seemed so far superior to Western women there must be so many more and there was and are.  

I guess it comes down to if you buy the first car or house you look at or always want to compare at least 20 or more.   I actually walked into over 100 houses before buying my current house. 

25k is enough followers that wood workers get free tools offered them.   Its pretty impressive and also represents the number that will soon learn that this is a very high risk danger on your visit to Thailand compared to a safe 1st World country. They will all learn about the young russian lad who died playing basketball.  They will learn that there is never anyone held liable for preventable accidents like this.  Never a settlement that will motivate xhange, nothing more offered than  a pitance even if there is desth.  No reason to expect change or  improvement in Thailand.  

It appears many of you guys who married in the past did the sin sod thing.  I'm sure you felt it was nearly 100% required at some time in the past.  But this is 2024.  Many just do it for show.  However it offends me to show off wealth of gold and cash on a platter  and it wasn't going to happen at my celebration.  Its stupid that  its a measure of your devotion or worth.   

Why is your wife being asked to support grandma?  What about mom and dad?   Have you actually sat with your wife and grandma to ask her about her needs?  And find out who else does or should be helping.   How many living children does grandma have.  

I'm just glad I acted like a man and   did my part to end this silly sin sod tradition.

He has sired 4 offspring with immigrant wives.  Could this be what he means when he talks about immigrants poisoning American blood?  Maybe this is what is in his mind when he looks at his kids.

I think he's had it with Mel anyway, time to start test driving interviewing new talent.

 

Trumpers who are so anti immigration just didnt bat an eye when I talked about his foreign wives and malania's genius visa . 

Man i need to proof my posts better. Sorry. 

Good reason to haul around a battery backup charger.

So where did the missing 9mm rounds go?  Wonder how long he has neen in Thailand?

Who's blood on shoes? 

Seems kinda stupid to show gun like that.  

Sounds like a bad guy.  I dint5 think he is getting off with just a fine. 

I would guess most single as well as couple tourists go to a thai massage parlor at least once or more per visit.
