Maybe he meant there were almost no other shopping choices within fifty meters of his front door...

Yeah, Topps sells these, and they're pretty good.

Makro sells the pre-fab corn taco shells and I think a couple varieties of Dania <sic> flour/wheat tortillas. Villa has about ten varieties of the Mission flour/wheat wraps/tortillas. Topps has pretty good raw corn tortillas, at least they did a few weeks ago.

In the '90s I went back to school and got to dead-head on Long Beach cattle boat once a week, all I ate was fresh fish... Back in the '60s, anytime we caught a bunch of Bonita my mom would can it. The only tuna I ate until I left home came from a Mason jar...

The Mission Wraps (tortilla) at Villa and Topps are okay. Topps has a brand of raw corn tortillas that are actually pretty good.

Exactly. Hopefully President Biden is able to normalize relations with the ruthless, dictatorial regime where President Obama failed.

I really need to go through all my old crap. I never had near as many as you. Here's a pic from google:

Sorry, I not sure where they are. I retired and moved since I last saw them. There were from the year the world jamboree was here. Google says: "The 20th World Scout Jamboree took place in Thailand from Dec. 28, 2002, to Jan. 7, 2003. More than 24,000 Scouts and leaders, from nearly every Scouting association in the world, assembled for a festival of friendship and fun. Their campground was a 3,000-acre coastal site on the Gulf of Thailand, a three-hour drive from the capital city of Bangkok."

Yes, Starbuck's is the absolute worst coffee in Thailand, and McDonald's is the absolute worst burger!

Would you assume that the marriage to the first wife was because of sex life choices? I generally like your posts, but you seem a bit condescending here. I only married once, and I married because I wanted kids, not because I wanted to have sex.

Any imported tool you buy legally in Thailand you will have to pay duty on. You will either import it yourself and pay the duty or buy it from someone else that imported it and paid the duty. I worked at a US owned manufacturing facility in Prachinburi for over twenty years and we imported quite a lot of tools from the US. Virtually all the cutting tools, production-grade hand tools, welding supplies and consumables. Buying the same quality in Thailand was difficult and would often cost considerably more than in the US. Even when we bought cheap stuff, we could buy it cheaper in the US and ship it over.

I heard balloons can be much better than satellites in some cases, it that correct?

Exactly, the poor kids are either working or on the teat. If the left really wanted to help poor, they'd focus on improving K-12 schools in poorer, particularly inner-city black areas where I think often virtually none of the students can read and do math at grade level. Why all the focus on university while the people that need help the most ignored? President Biden, please take the money you were going to spend pandering for votes forgiving student loans and spend it improving inner-city schools where people really need help.

But (butt?) were those ping-pong balls....

I have some I think, been a while. You have the Boy Scouts one? I think the best place to get the new coins was change at the toll booth. Drove back and forth from Kabinburi to Bangkok every week for twenty years, much of that before easy pass. That's where I got mine.

Indeed, but he's as dead as they are.

Plenty of decent stuff at HomePro. Without an idea of what you want and what you expect to spend impossible to make any recommendation. I bought eight kits almost exactly like the one below (same brand) and they've been great, still have two, staff got the other six. Perfect size for car. Total price delivered to Thailand:

Foolish or otherwise, he put his money (and life) where his mouth was.

Never much of a fan, but I say a year, or he just starts doing "free" stuff.

And it's time the Evil USA is kicked out of NATO! The rest of the world is tired of paying the way for the US to have its way with the rest of the world.

I have nothing against student loans, and I have nothing against scholarships and grants for the poor, I am against forgiving loans to people loans at the expense of the poor people that did not benefit from the loans, and the poor people chumps that worked hard, sacrificed and paid the loans back. I get it, I think 90% of the graduates with loans share your ideology, and I think you'd like to help them, largely at the expense of the people that do not.

I did not and do not support forgiving those loan either. That said, the government compelled hundreds of thousands of businesses to shut down. I don't remember them compelling college students to take loans.

What I said was: The court struck down something the President was trying to do illegally, not something Congress had passed into law. How did you going on and on about "tax breaks for the rich" and pointing out the President inappropriately used an "...Act passed by Congress covering "emergencies'..." thoroughly rebut my statement? If anything, it looks like it supports it. Now you want to play the troll-card?

I'm always amused by the Starbucks haters, particularly the ones who rave about 7-11 coffee. Yeah, let's sit on the steps outside with the soi dogs to drink it. Competition is good, more competition is better. I drink my coffee at home, but when I want something while driving, I generally hit a PunThai.

Fish tacos, on the hoof for me...
