  1. I remember reading that temple fairs in the past would have naked girls that you paid to see. It all ended before i got here but apparently there was... Gasp! Prostitution involved. There are lots of sexual politics involved here caused by the male dominated culture. Anyone interested to read more can read here.
  2. Regretfully, I don't know. I lost interest at the word e-wallet knowing that it won't be including us. I hope someone else can tell you.
  3. Unfortunately, her indoors doesn't have an e-wallet so this is technically discrimination.
  4. Thailand has a habit of throwing plastic bottles away without regards to ensuring they are collected and recycled. Hopefully, this may make more people aware that they can be recycled.
  5. And this is why the US and UK will not get the bilateral trade agreements that Rishi wants. Northern Ireland is of much more interest than the rest of the UK.
  6. Does anyone really pay attention to these news items, which appear almost daily?
  7. So many lads try to escape conscription that the RTA may have seen it all and knew that in Thailand medical certificates can be faked. However, someone could have jumped on a motorcycle and visited the home to check. Once again, the Thai military breaks its face in the worst way.
  8. Just a suggestion but perhaps Thailand could promote the designated driver system? If just one person in the family would volunteer not to drink and the drunkards sit in the back it might help. Needs a govt committee to set up a campaign, of course... obviously wont work if the macho boys swear they can drive after a bottle of white whisky but might persuade their teetotal wives to drive.
  9. Why do Thai officials insist on proving their ineptness at every opportunity. Personally, I blame the low education of many officials, who are also poorly paid but work only for the health insurance and pension.
  10. Run as far as you can. There are other girls.
  11. Seems to have been more concerned with hiding the cigarette than with killing six people. I guess the Thai army kills Thai people more than external enemies and doesn't think it is a big deal.
  12. Just a guess but the govt may make a deal to allow Mr. T back so they can still choose the PM. Home or hotel arrest seem likely.
  13. No one is pointing out that when Trump signed his deal with Afghanistan the military knew the date and were still unprepared as it drew near. I don't believe any politician is capable of organizing a military withdrawal. Military generals do. And they failed to be prepared.
  14. She didn't have a big part. Mainly playing violin in the park. Was that acting?
  15. Things will continue but the RTP won't extort money from the girls. I guess the pubs will still be guilty of human trafficking though.
  16. Usually the more people want to fly the more competition from airlines and the lower the prices. This is just profiteering. As soon as people say it's too expensive but not coming to Thailand, prices must drop or risk offering cheaper competitors the advantage.
  17. Chuvit had done a service to Thais regarding his whistleblowing. I am a bit suspicious of the anti weed drive as both he and his daughter attended Californian universities and i guess did not inhale while walking in the dorms.
  18. Not sure why the money wasn't buried in a waterproof container in a field somewhere. Its as if he wanted to be caught.
  19. There used to be a slogan, "Don't Drive Drunk", which played a bit with semantics in that it didn't ask people to NOT drink but rather not to drive if drunk (plastered, I suspect). Now they seem a little more serious about the language but probably not so much about the arrests.
  20. Oh course the USA would never have nuclear submarines near China.
  21. A completely invisible propeller system. Not one photo has shown propellers.
  22. I remember well that my mother got cancer and her private health insurance refused to pay for treatment. Not something to forget.
  23. I cannot imagine how the conversation with the PM went with the TAT. PM: "We need more money from those pesky foreign tourists to support the economy." TAT: "So true sir. We are doing our best. Rest assured that..." PM: "So I have decided to bring the number of days for visa exempt from 45 to 30 days in order to get rid of those blooming foreigners faster." TAT: "Wait, what???" PM: "Yes, your job will be to keep the revenue up without us having foreigners here causing all the crime." TAT: "Isn't this cutting off our nose to spite our face, sir?" PM: "Stop sympathizing with the foreign devils and squeeze more money out of them in 30 days. Maybe double national park entrance fees." ????
  24. I still haven't figured out how the balloons were steered over military targets. No engines means they were at the mercy of winds.
