Chinese tourism deterred by tourist scams in Thailand, says Atta
Elkski replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The word is out. Plus they must know most thais don't like Chinese. Less Indians. -
When the rice fields are flooded are the rat invasions related? Seems like it's a landlord issue to seal up all the holes. Maybe a little teamwork on the rat trapping issue. Maybe landlord has a bunch of traps. Of course most anima6know there way around their part of the World so you would need to relocate them far but that's just giving others the problem. Rats are a prized food up north. I tried a rat stew dish. It was ok until I got a section of rat tail. I'm sure Thais just chomp for collagen.

Who wants a workaholic and it sounds like a workaholic is looking for a woman who would be a workaholic. I think he should take cooking lessons. Outsourcing his dating? Sounds like a real loser. In Thailand your ability to support them is part of love to them.

Thai MP-elect aims to break £11bn alcohol duopoly with progressive bill
Elkski replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not sure a good IPA can be made a competitive prices to the USA. Labor should be lower but water quality sucks, where to import good hops from. A good IPA needs close to a kg per barrel. And where to get food barley? And malted. Undrinkable beer in Thailand is a big problem with me. Yes I found a place in Bangkok that sold some decent imports. 800 bath per bomber. 22 oz. -
What slope does your cement gutter have? You always mention "sealed with silicone". As if it's easy to apply correctly and seals. It may be installed half way to your design ideas and seal initially but time, temps, uv, material expansion, and surface cleanliness are all fighting to cause failure. Sealant may seal until it fails. It will fail!. So you have a river on your roof. If an object or high rainfall backs up the river so it gets above the roof level. Where would the water leak into? Because it will. On normal gutters an overflow can go over the outside edge or go up under the metal drip edge and then down the metal facia assuming the facia is higher than the gutter. Sorry to be negative but it was my job to think of all the failure modes, and I also have had 20 years fighting water since my house is on a bluff. Wind and rain can do seemingly do un natural things.

With that sandwiched roofing having so thin top metal and a soft core it seems like it would not result in a very high compression force of the screw gasket that would ensure a seal? And I know from my use of self drilling metal fasteners they seem to drill better at a faster speed and then it would be hard to control and to stop before creating a simple which like you said would cause a leak. When faced with 1000 screws a man will find the fastest way. Also if a screw does do a simple what is the solution? Even with no soft core I have always doubted the sealing feature of those screws.

I didn't know this! Kind of stupid. These words would be the last a real terrorist would say.

Seagrams Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey. From where may I purchase it?
Elkski replied to DudleySquat's topic in Pattaya
I can't drink scotch and I've tried some of the 200$) bottle crap. Just don't like the moss smoke taste. But put the heavy mesquite smoke in my pork or beef all day. Just opened some gentleman jack last night and yum like I recall. I have lots of gear in crown bags it's yum too. I also enjoy Pendleton and many other nice Canadian or Kentucky whiskeys here in USA. Lots of micro distilleries opening in USA a local one is High West in park city. . -
I slept on this overnight and my thoughts are Thailand will just never solve any problem. While I love cute girls and these gals qualify, they do look like some surgeon was involved on their faces. Why not just start enforcing the laws and stop drivers who break the laws. In BKK in sukumvit you can watch any intersection and see numerous violations each light cycle. Like others said a cop could be right there and drivers still sneak or run red lights. The idea of using models to encourage safe and legal driving exhibits Thai thinking. And these models are using helmets different than they are trying to promote. Utterly stupid.

I always wondered how US weed was imported? I know at first the demand was higher than local production. How did that USA high quality weed get into the country? And why is it currently needed? I don't think the majority of Thais support the current status of pot stores everywhere and it's users smells. If it does remain legal it will have rules attached that only favor the big players for sure. I was in Denver in January and the dispensary needed to create a profile record off my driver's license before I could buy a few edibles. Glad I was in Thailand over xmas during this crazy wild west period despite the high prices. I predict there will be big restrictions in Thailand soon.

Joe Biden administration blames chaotic Afghan pull-out on Trump
Elkski replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I think all of us should read the report before making assumptions. It's never easy to retreat from a lost war. Many people can be blamed including the people who began this war without a plan B for retreat. It didn't take a person with secret clearance to see how much damage trump did to many government organizations. I did hear that it was suggested to Biden to leave 2500 troups behind. But then the death toll could have been much higher. Tough position but most Americans didn't support these wars. -
Ukrainian Woman Arrested After Spray Painting Famous Viewpoint in Phuket

Another case using Chinese facial recognition software me thinks. -
Story is a bit confusing for me. Daily there are movie storylines in Thailand. How is the kidnapping related to the surrogacy? Prominent Dr supervised or did these implants or something? Most Thai people seem to respect these Chinese families who somehow got into this country in the last 50-75 years. How far will this cleansing of china's influence in Thailand go?

Can't wait to see britmans bot posts. -
I'm uninformed for sure. I really don't want to know what incel means. Just enjoy life, it is what you make of it. Plenty of partners for Everyone if you halfway fit and not psychotic.

Interesting and possibly more effective means of enforcement. But it would seem like a good case for defamation if they are not found guilty. It would seem likely they have cc'd and facial recognition as I think china's influence there is 110%>. But behind closed doors, possible fake IDs, it would have to only be the girls testimony. I'm not defending or cordoning anything. But these accusations could really mess up a guys life. In udon thanni nears boys town or whatever that place is called I saw an underage looking gal being escorted out of a bar by a falang. A cop was sitting in his big bike outside. Against my dates advice I told the cop of my concern shrugged it off saying she was legal age, which maybe was the case. Or was he on the take?

Can't edit. I meant many beggars everywhere! Even here in USA. Denver and salt lake, LA, Portland I've seen first hand.
