I don't think any of us that is reading this would be welcolme at the casino.They are not interested in our paltry $500 they want the chinese high rollers with their millions of dirty cash to launder.

I will be heading back to that woke highly taxed  country Australia this weekend,

 

I have decided on this trip to Thailand particularly Pattaya that again I won't be retiring this year , particularly after I was assaulted in Lopburi and no action was taken 

 

I woke up this morning early in my Jomtien Airbnb which I must say is the size of a motel room but had good faculties, very very long swimming pool and good gym

Grand Dusit or whatever it's silly name is ,it's about 10 minutes walk to Rompho markets 

 

How the hell could someone live in a room this size 21sqm , so I laid on the bed here this morning thinking , " George if you retired this is your life " 

Waking up everyday in a room , maybe go to the gym , swimming pool , then what .......

 

Oh they make it so good don't they the rosy rose coloured glass crowd 

They start off " oh I woke up went to the gym and then swimming then went for a lovely breakfast then went to the beach then had a beautiful massage blah blah blah 

 

Boring day after day and depressing .

I really feel sorry for you single old men who have to get through each day waking up by yourself in Pattaya thinking what the hell would I be doing today because you gave up your job and life in the west to sit in a box of a room and NO ROUTINE 

 

Life just drifts on , some of you may even turn to bars , alcohol etc to get company,others may just withdraw 

 

It's great for 5 months and yes I used 5 instead of 6 months just to be different 

And you know you can't spend as much being an expat as a tourist so you end up staying in that box most nights of the week 

 

You realise the ladies of the night are now expensive your living here ,2000 baht etc plus bar fines ,drinks 

 

 

You have no real friends in Pattaya only others you see in a bar or bookshop cafe ,they wouldn't do anything for you without payment 

 

 

So eventually your rose coloured glasses come off

Pattaya is not so good for retirement now is it you think

 

 

 

Yourproblem Georgie Boy is you gotta stop trying to pork monkeys and keep out of the monkey enclosure.  Life would be a whole lot better for you if you took my advice.

Umm pigeons in hospitals?  Mybe she was taken to a Vet by mistake ?

No, the pidgeons were for lunch. The cook would have caught them and put them in the pot to make pidgeon stew with rice for the patients.

Why all the negative on this man, can't he be just in deep thoughts and sadness. I'm sure he has many thoughts in times like this, don't we all? 🙏 For all. There's enough negative in this world without adding more to this man.

Do you really think that he would sit on his chair and bawl hjs eyes out for the 100 or so Lao, Chinese ,Cambodian workers that are trapped in there dead .???  no he's thinking how am I gonna get out of this because I signed off on the approval of this building and the safety inspection  and that;s gonna be the end of the brown envelopes and my  career is ruined.     

Solar panels or windmills cannot provide Base-load power to industrial factories or steel refineries.It has to be  mixed with coal or gas fired power and when you have days and weeks of overcast weather your solar is no good and on widless days the turbines don't turb,and if the wind is too strong they must be shut down. So if you rely only on these you better get used to blackouts..Nuclear is the only alternitive for reliable clean power 24 hrs. a day and in the long run is cheaper than the green pretend power scources.

The reason the girls on soi 6 would't go near you is becuase you smell like a monkey.

What 7 days ?? That's far too long. I  would have thought 7 minutes would be plenty of time to do a full inspection.

That Chinese consumer market has been there for eternity.

As we speak, Thailand runs a trade surplus with US (beneficial to Thailand) and a massive deficit with China (negative for Thailand) and has done for many years.

I wonder how/why this massive deficit with China will suddenly turn around ?

 

"If" China starts offering more equalised trade with Thailand and others, I wonder how that will impact the Chinese economy 

 

Frankly, I can see why the Yanks have targeted Thailand. Been enjoying a trade surplus with them, whilst subsidising the CCP economy....

 

It's pretty simple . Trump wants all the companies who make products that America America to move their operations to the U.S. and employ Americans. He  has also offered to give them a very low tax rate.

lol. He has no clue about economics. The US has benefitted hugely in price and diversity from everyone that sells to them. They can’t make most of what they buy in. 

Please explain what '' diversity '  has got to do with tarrifs. Didn't you know that Trump has banned D.E.I.

Hehe.. the box was just outside their building. 

 

This story really goes all out with sensationalism. 

 

So what does this mean? They will make him pay a fine and deport him? As if he can pay the BIB or buy an airline ticket if he is so broke to do that. 

So i guess, it is off to the slammer for him. 

This act would have really upset  the police because they wer gonna open it and get their '' Tea  money '' out of it.

She should have walked away at that time... 

Ya gotta wonder what some women are thinking sometimes.She's been living the good life for over 3 years and doesn't have to work. Designer handbags. luxury watches flash condo.If she came out of a bar and is from a poor family in Isan she really had it made so she  would be reluctent to leave him.Even he was bashing her up every day she's looking after her children family and brother back home and probably thought that his behavior would improve.Is that worth being a punching bag ?? I don.t think so.

As there were no aftershocks reported

today, the issue at the Government buildings was probably due to resonance created by the sudden removal of incriminating paperwork related to the collapsed audit building.

Yeah the are all Government buildings.could it be that they were built by the same Chinese buildeers ???  Surely not.

They will put an ad in the BKK. Post and ask everybody to please come back and settle your bill and everyone would have.

The usual dodgy as a 15 baht note CCP stooges trying the normal cover-up MO. Who would trust a Chinese company to do anything right without cutting corners, using sub-par materials, then pocketing the different in corruption? It is so ingrained into their culture that it can be assumed to be the case, doesn't even need investigating. The sheer nerve they have knows no bounds and they just don't care if anyone loses everything or gets killed, means nothing.

You are right I saw on youtube a video of poorly constructed newly  built  high rise buildings , overpasses and bridges etc. that have collapsed in China.

And a substandard Thai Chinese building company that wanted to save a few million bht on high strength rebar….

only building to collapse…..

I smell a rat here. the building that imploded was a Government building and I hear that they changed the original design and did away with the steel beams and were relying on the concrete slabs on every floor to hold the building together. I reckon a nice big fat brown envelope for the building inspector from the chinese contractor. Even though many workers  lives  were lost it could have been  much worse if the building was occupied. Could have been hundres killed.

We have the same problems in Australia with immigrants who don't leave there grievences behind when the migrate to a new country. The problem here is the Australian Prime Minister is as weak as dishwater and allows these sometime violent protesters to continue unabated. Recently in Sydney a Mosque was destroyed by fire and all the P.M. did was visit the site and offer them money to rebuild. There is an election coming up in a few weeks and I hope that he gets kicked out on his a##se.

I'm hoping the new AI center in the states (when built) solves the equation of perpetual motion. It always seems people take things to about 70-80% of potential and never complete it. As an example: Why were EVs built w/o an alternator or generator that assists the batteries in running the engine (technically a 'motor' since it's electric) or trickle charge the batteries?

Living with nature is the answer, not trying to 'harness', i.e. control it. (recent earthquake is a good example)

Who said the chinese are stupid ?? At last reality has kicked in.The quickest way to bankrupt a country is to get rid of fossil fuels to run power stations is to follow the green energy stupidity. Australia and the U.K. are starting to realise that after wasting millions on these schemes and like china are having second thoughts . Australia has unlimited coal resources and sell it to China and India for their power stations so that they can supply cheap power for their citizens  Meanwhile electricity prices in the U.K. and Australia are going thrugh the roof'  At some time in the future new forms of fuel may be invented that is cheap but we don't have that yet so to continue with windmills and solar farms is madness and just putting people into financial hardship.
