Are jeans and chinos adapted to Thailand ?
BangkokReady replied to Baron Samedi's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I find shorts and t-shirt to be too hot most of the time. Even wearing shoes is often too much. Jeans would be torture in this climate. I wish it could be done, as foreigners often look so awful in shorts and t-shirt, but it just isn't happening. I certainly miss wearing jeans, hoodie and trainers, but they just aren't compatible with Thailand. -
You cannot take someone saying "same same but different", a phrase which means similar, and quote only part of the phrase, "same same", and then claim that the person said "same same" meaning the same. You are misrepresenting what they said. It's akin to taking someone saying "I do not", quoting only "I do" and trying to claim they said they do do something. They didn't say "same same", they said "same same but different". The two phrases have different meanings, and to claim they meant "the same", when they clearly meant "similar" is being dishonest.

The only real question is how did the posts end up in the car? Presumably the car impacted with the truck and not the other way round. So either the truck pulled out and the car was going so fast that it went straight into the back and hit it head on, or the car slammed into the back of the truck probably not seeing the posts (or perhaps not seeing the truck at all). The car certainly wouldn't be travelling at a safe distance from the truck to make contact with the posts.

Public Urged to Get Booster Shots Against Covid-19
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Is that even being worked on? I haven't heard a peep about it. Surely it should be relatively straight forward? It's been out for seven months. Or are there stock-piles that need to be used up? -
I was actually really surprised online sales were allowed. Most street based businesses in Thailand have a "mafia" element that facilitate price-fixing and prevent competition. I guess this is not (or no longer?) the case with lottery tickets. Does anyone know why the lottery has been singled out for this sort of "gouge protection"?
