Bought a new portable air conditioner on wheels … it cooled good in the air conditioned store but so much in in a very small room… not even if you parked next to the bed…. Waste of money gave it away… bought a split unit not too expensive… 100x better…

Would try to calm them down talking… if anything more it would depend on the situation

Great advice… my thoughts exactly….

5 out of 10 is ok… some are on OR over the fence

and paintings are impressive…

Frogs were in a tizzy about the higher retirement age….. time for Big Mac to really fire them up…. 8 hour (working) days… 5 days a week and No alcoholic beverages for lunch….

Got curious on my Permit to stay Extension. The Extension expiration date is the same 2020,2021,2022 and 2023. Prior dates are in my expired passport. Non O Retirement

R.I.P. young man

these were classified as boondoggles… .. took 4-5 X ? with each to avoid excess baggage charges on there return flight…… cause it couldn’t be explained

Yea in the US it’s called the great giveaway…. Not limited to only citizens…. We don’t loan it we give it away…

Some people were not taught to clean up at a young age and follow from one generation to the next…most can learn in time but it takes constant reminders for awhile. When we first built our (hers) house we lived out in the country outside the small village dirts roads etc. had four neighbors and now we’ve got paved roads and more homes with no foreigners in walking distance that I know of,., two nephews one niece ( their parents live and work in Bangkok we are in Northeast) and grandma and grandpa lived with us. I’d see Grandma walking along take the wrapper of whatever she had a drop it on the ground…. nephews did the same .. but the niece didn’t.. if I saw any throw trash on the ground I told them pick it up… they did. I’m fairly quiet unless you push me then you got a Lion on your hands that won’t shut up. So eventually they learned… they’ll slip once and awhile but not for long. so try to teach them and when they make an effort give them 20 baht once in awhile tell them get an ice cream or whatever.. when we were children 3 girls and 2 boys we weren’t allowed unsupervised in the family room that had the color tv a rarity in the 50s. had to put our toys up before bed … and we learned at a young age.

Good on you Rooster… I enjoy the daily vlogs not a great deal of patience when reading… but watching these are Great! Thanks and enjoy the Songkran holiday… and yes spraying a motorcyclist in face in a major no no… keeps you on the toes when out riding but as always be alert cause some no riders don’t understand how quickly you can go down on a MC.. cheers

OZ beef is pretty good depending on the cut.Seen advertisements for higher end Thai beef but no places up here in the NE sticks. pork ribs … boil (simmer) in water 1 home…. Make sauce with 1/3 ketchup and store bought BBQ sauce add brown sugar add a little wasabi in the small tubes bring to boil and simmer 5-10 minutes. Meat falls off the bone and nice kick with the wasabi….

Canada? just guessing…. 555. Whisky is the best as pointed out above…

Instead of free flow money….. how about free education for all children through end of high school. That would be a good investment in children for the future……

That sound like a whole lot of nasty… what do they eat for food… seems no tastebuds

Cheers Rooster

Some use scare tactics on top of slinging bs.

In the village they start about 8-9 in the morning and most if not all are knocked by dark….. and seems like most normal years no Covid they think Songkran is 7-8 days uggghhh Thankfully I’ll be at home on the outskirts of the village … music didn’t stop Monday until 03:00 am and could be heard at our house from the village

Depending on how long you want to stay at different places you could hire a truck to move it for you. Fuel consumption Honda Jazz vs Pick Up truck will be a painful adjustment you can check on google for averages. if available a small sized pick up might be ok for loading motorcycle being lower to the ground. Getting a motorcycle loaded/unloaded on ramp could be a challenge., probably would take two people a bit dangerous. I’ve rode up the ramp in my 20,30s but at that age body parts weren’t easily broken… You could probably ask a person to help load and unload. In my experience Thais are very helpful if needed and most the time they won’t even accept a tip.,.. Good luck to you … post some pics with you find a solution…

Lucky get more time off for Thai New Years than most western companies get for January 1 New Year…….

On,y thing I’d say is you know where not to get a haircut or shave..

If my memory is correct I think there was a discussion within last 2 months of someone getting refused entry with less than 6 months on passport. Try searching and hopefully it will help.

2 nephews live with us most the time when they were 9-10 ish would come in front door from school and drop there shorts and shirts on the floor sometimes leaving snack wrappers and soda cans on the floor. Told wife a few times to tell Mama teach them to put up things and not leave a mess in front room…. finally I picked up everything and put it on a clean trash can. After a couple days of them retrieving from the trash the stopped….

She was wiggin out…555
