  1. To me this is what Srettha said. I came to chaing Mai because I am the top dog in Thailand and in keeping with Thai style I'm doing nothing about this terrible air pollution disater. Most importantly we must not do anything that would slow the flow of tourist dollars. So at this time I can't think of anything we can do to fix this yearly problem, either in the long or short term. This just opens the door for Pita to talk about sensible solutions that may make the people realize they should have done something when the elections were rigged and or stolen. Each tourist to CM is going to leave with photos, FB and social media posts, memories of this terrible pollution and this will hurt tourism in the long term. The slow killing nature of bad air exposure with no direct hard data or data thats hard ro associate furure illness on such past exposures people dont seem to care so much. If it was a radioactive cloud they would. So i think its about education. If it was just 1 country not 3 or 4 the big con agra companies could gain a big PR win by doing something. But how to get 3 countries to do something and it has to be all to solve this problem. If this wasn't an issue I think this is where I would live if we ever moved to Thailand. I need wide open vistas and fresh cool air and steep hikes.
  2. This thread seems to be proof that half the guys who retire to Thailand are dealing with less than half a deck. tRUMP will losem he lost in 2020 and tell me which group he hasnt pissed off. He has pissed off some magas by saying the vax was a good thing and he was responsible for it approved on operation warp speed rather than the normal 10 year approval track. He has pissed off the 2 million IVF babies born in 21' add in all those happy parents x2, happy spouses 1x, happy siblings 2x, happy cousin's, grandparents etc so about 50-100 mil people who's life has been effected by an IVF baby. He has super pissed all womens choice by his stacking the supreme Court and claiming he was the one who got roe v wade tossed. Plus they are targeting the day after meds. trump even was recorded saying there shoukd be some punishment fir a women who gets an abortion. All constitutional scholars and believers won't vote for trump. He has pissed off many military members. I dont believe any polls. If there is a ruckus many of us liberals have lots of guns and are hunters.
  3. Wont he go to what do they call it inactive post. So basically as I see it in Thailand and maybe much of the World its everyone has dirt and who has the most dirty info wins. He pissed off someone.
  4. How did he have access to the stable? Seems like trespassing for sure. Multiple times. This kid needs help. Need clean hands kid when messing around with those vulvas What is that magnified circle by the horse showing?
  5. Looks like they fed him well in prison. What a total farse. All thai's should be ashamed
  6. Congrats on the horny 73 yr old. But thats a high price. And he scammed his friends. Let's hope he sees more rime behind bars than boss or Mr sick T.
  7. I bet some of these russians coukd really take away business from locals. Many are quite stunning and a change from thai looks.
  8. Gambling and 2 lottery systems plus multi level marketing scams and that dice game. High debt. Police near big joke running online gambling busted. So now they want to make it legal.
  9. How can they consider casinos with the average debt as it is now. Government and rich owners will make money. What a bad idea. Feom my experience many thais are not good with budgeting and financial planning
  10. The realism in these modern color printers is amazing. But 2d is so yesterday. Now you can print on a 3D vinyl blowup. Have a new date each week
  11. Bob, or that guy saying his wife was becoming a bit thick for his liking.
  12. Will found at the scene. Where was this foreign husband? And the daughters?
  13. I wasn't sure i read the headline right. So the keeper could tell the horse had been sexually abused? Just odd, but maybe we are missing something.
  14. Not more than 2 yrs or 40,000? Takes some thinking. If you stay fit and eat right and plan to be going to 80+ amd like the home you've made. What is the age? Guess it makes a difference if you moved onto that situation or it changed.
  15. The diving in, pattaya,Phucket amd Koh phi phi sucks. Hardly any fish or coral life. This was my experience in 2016. These guys are doing a type of intro to diving method. I forget what it's called but its for absolute beginners. At one of the top dive sites near koh phi phi there were fishing net drag marks in the sand everywhere around the reef. Including some net material on broken off coral fragments that jad been dragged out away from the reef. I was convinced that at night these unprotected from fishing reefs get hammered by fishermen. I also went on a snorkel cattle boat full og chinese at the peak pre covid. These boats held 50 people and there were several at this one shallow reef. In places it was only 3-4' deep and many Chinese were standing upright to rest and or take pictures. I was totally disgusted. Compare to Mexico who in the 60 or 70s were smart enough to create sanctuaries around Cuzumel because more money could be made with the dive industry than fisherman.
  16. My wife of 2 years doing ok. We both gained a bit last year. She is diligently working iur everyday via her own motivation. Maybe i need to worry she's planning a runner? She is about 45 kg now at typical 5'2" Thai female height. Same as when we dated. Due to stress in the K1 visa process she arrived at 43 and was to skinny for me. Only issue she has is a soft and a bit flabby upper thigh. Tummy tight as a drum. I've read this is the first fat deposit spot in many women? She doesn't seem to understand diet. She cooks dual meals several times a week plus loves the som tom. I cant do real spicy or many weird thai dishes. I cook sometimes especially the BBQ and grilled meats. She jas developed a taste for beef and my BBQ chicken thighs or legs she gives a 10 score. As well as the smoked fish, pulled pork and brisket. We catch and eat lots of trout. We also buy shrimp quite a bit. She had much of life where affording enough food was not possible. Now she can have whatever she wants. IMHO and dietary mind she eats to large of portions of rice and or noodles. Ive never seen such large portions served in a Thai restaurant. It looks like it cant possibly fit in her tummy but it does. It looks like a family setving or for at least 2. She scoffs at my suggestion its to mut. Luckily we both dont add sugar, salt, MSG. How do I teach her about carbohydrates? Any link to a Thai article on this would be appreciated. I admit physical attraction is very important to me. She doesn't have an oz of fat above the waist. No fat depression from a bra is so important to me it's hard to express. Except I can say i deleted some gals for that. A lith back is so sexy.
  17. Yes we know what their "shared hobby" is. Now maybe they can share together. 83 trips. Im 10 years older and haven't flown out of my country more than 30 times.
  18. Stay in jail or get hurt by the irate public or join the flying club.
  19. Oh no! I believe them when most said i was only 2nd guy in. 1 said 3rd.
  20. I dated a gal in BKK, she was divorced from her police captain because he had a mia noi. Her own parents told her to accept the mia noi. And they told her a captain rank justifies 2 mia noi. I cant recall the timeline of her career but at the time I met her for 1 night out she was very high up in BKK government health system. 1 reason for no 2nd date was how she yelled orders at the wait staff at the restaurant and had them bowing and scurrying around. I can imagine the young gals parents are benefiting by having a policeman in their daughters life. Almost all thai women I dated talked about a unfaithful thai husband or lover.
  21. I would agree with spider Mike except his costs for getting work done is low. Probably because his US neighbors have more migrant workers available. Where there are lower % of latino crews the white guys are charging more than his numbers. Not sure on the 800$ gals unless thats for long time? I've never used a service like that here but I heard it was much less like 200$ st. You don't need a permit to pour a slab as far as I know. They do inspect the base of sidewalks on city property prior to pouring. Do need a permit for a shed . Not hard to get. And also they dont permit fences over 2.5' if your on a corner so as to preserve sight lines . Thailand could use that. Saying you stay inside when the air is bad or its to hot? Then you would be happy on the moon. Homeowners in my state can do all trades on their own property. Not true in all states. I need fresh air, cool breezes, 4 seasons, no monks chanting, dogs or roosters barking, I expect cars to stop for crosswalks. I like to be able to go on long mountain bike rides at 75f, with no danger of soi dogs biting me. We like to collect mushrooms on the nearby public forest's. I like to fish and hunt on the public lands as well. I like eating tasty hass avocados daily, the cost has been 25 baht the last 6 months price. I like safe limited access highways with 80mph speed limits. Low limit of 65mph. My wife cant believe cars yield to us walking into a store from the parking lot. Yes there are homeless in places of your unfortunate to live in those areas. There are more corner beggars at highway amd street intersections but they dont lay there in the walkway. Medical care is on a never ending spiral that isnt good so if your unhealthy and cant afford insurance your in trouble here. Oh the water out of the tap tastes good and its melted snow flowing by gravity off the nearby mountains. Neighborhood is very safe and no walls with broken glass or bars on windows needed here. Gas is currently 3$ for the .9 gal. Large loaf of good bread 140-250 baht. Pork costs 2.50$/# for bone in Boston butts. Cops here are not on the take and enforce traffic rules. During the summer the sun shines for 15 hours a day. Winters are dark for 3 months, and cold. So you need more closet space for winter clothes than most of you expats in Thailand have total. Maybe someday I could live in Thailand? But i think 2 months every couple years is ok.
  22. Missed opportunity. Such a concentration in one small footprint on earth.
