Thailand Investigates Claims of Chinese Aluminium Dumping
RocketDog replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
This just an example of the 'gray zone' warfare the CCP has been waging for years. Nothing to investigate. -
Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
RocketDog replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
But truth be told, the guy living the short-time lifestyle might be a lot happier than the guy judging him and who feels stuck in a married position. And perhaps it's the guy who is not living the short-time lifestyle who is actually the one who's feeling sad. ========= There. I cut out the stuffing for you and now your "do as I say and not as I do" message is clearer. -
Your Experience: Are Thai Women smarter than Thai Men?
RocketDog replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
OP In your experience, are broad generalizations usually worth the breath to say? -
Well. I opened this thread hoping to see some of his supporters try a disingenuous rationalization for his actions lately. But thus far they've decided to sit it out which is probably the better part of valor. Or maybe they just refuse to humiliate themselves trying to spin it. Just his detractors telling obvious truths (gasp!) about his failures. What fun is that? Where are his fist pumps and declarations of trashing Harris in the polls?

I certainly hope nobody engages the electronic parking brake before they start to park the car

I recently changed from OA to O visa and had to prove my transfers from United States dollars to Thai baht to Bangkok Bank account. Bangkok Bank agreed FTT stands for foreign telegraphic transfer. They then went back 3 years and provided a printout of all of my ftt deposits for immigration office in hua hin. The immigration office concurred and I got my Visa with no problem. So though my experience is different from yours it may be because I use wise as my transfer agent and transfer is done in THB. Take it as you will but I accomplished what I needed to with immigration. In any event between the two of us we have probably helped a few people on this forum and I appreciate your help.

How to plan an unforgettable motorbike road trip in Thailand
RocketDog replied to CharlieH's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Best way to prepare: Buy a road suit Buy a good helmet Update your medical insurance Don't drive during the day or night or on weekends or holidays Don't drive on any roads or highways. Carry a copy of your Will on your person . Carry next of kin information on your person. Avoid skids on gravel and oil slicks by deflating your tires at least 50% to maintain good road contact and fast stops. If you have a rare blood type carry several bags of it with you. Safety First! It could save your life! Carry a strong rope and grappling hook in case you need them after falling into road holes or sewer lines. Never start the engine. Be sure your lights and horn are working properly(actually forget that one. It's not important) Never approach any intersections and avoid sideroads,railroad crossings, and traffic signals. Disregard any traffic signage as it is merely suggestions and generally safely ignored. Keep your head on a swivel every second of every minute of every day. Driving through rice or peanuts spread on the road for drying is allowable though frowned on by the locals unless they are the ones doing it. Do not challenge any vehicles traveling against the traffic(it's normal and condoned by law enforcement) Avoid fixed objects along your path such as trees and hanging wires. Check your brakes often(the majority of road accidents in the Kingdom are brake failures). Never slow down or stop at zebra/pedestrian crossings. This may induce traffic behind you to fail to stop due to brake failures and it will be deemed your fault. Start with the gas tank empty and maintain that level throughout your journey of exploration. Never travel with the wheels moving Above all enjoy your trip and don't worry. Thai drivers are among the best in the world (at destroying each other and any property around them) Note: All the above precautions are strongly recommended if you are within sight of any roads/highways/sidewalks/ footpaths anywhere in the Kingdom even if you are on foot. -

Government to Crack Down on Low-Quality Chinese Imports

Exactly where do you shop now pray tell? -
I'm confused, USA is now a communist country?
RocketDog replied to bubblegum's topic in Political Soapbox
Exactly. That's what this forum is for. -
I agree. Your deep thoughts on the subject are persuasive. We should wait until the problem becomes grossly obvious before we take any action at all beyond yammering about it. I propose that we wait until the 'balance sheet' is gushing red and then have prolonged discussions about how to turn it around after, of course,we spend a few (more) decades doing 'research'. Besides that, I'm 74 and don't give a hoot about how subsequent generations may suffer for my procrastination. I and my generation have already taken the big sweet juicy bite out of the apple and don't give a damn about the worms anymore. I won't even think about it until it's extremely clear that we are in very deep sh*t. Makes sense to me. No?

Pattaya police intervene to stop violence as Kuwaiti tourists clash
RocketDog replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
If I owned a knife shop close to this alteration I would have gladly supplied both sides with all the paraphernalia they could carry. After all it's easier to carry bodies out to the airport when they're not moving And blacklisting is not necessary if they're dead. -
If you had a son wouldn't you be equally concerned about him seeing a vagina? It's much better if neither gender sees the other until their marriage bed....correct? Wait, if they watch porn they already know. I think knowledge of sexual physical differences should be banned for life. Ignorance is bliss.

Buriram Woman Loses 530,000 Baht in Baffling Bank Transfers
RocketDog replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
No. At least two including me. I think it's stupid to have such apps on my phone. If it's not there it can't be used against me. Very simple logic. I'm not holier than thou but certainly more cautious. Up to you.
