  1. Certainly doable and can be enjoyable.  Some better riding along the coast.  Not so much inland or on the main highways.

     

    New to this kind of riding?  Best to find your own pace and range.  Got time?  Unsure of your abilities?  Take a few days to get there.  You'll see more and develop your skills, too.

     

    And remember: "Don't ride faster than your guardian angels can fly."

    EV = Electric Vehicles?  That topic does tend to divide people.  

     

    Just learned that intolerance toward "bigots" could in itself be bigotry:

    As I understand it,the large amount of sugar cane grown isn't just to keep the world's sweet tooth happy it's also grown for supposedly 'green' fuels ...

    Interesting point.  I found this, and others, in support:

     

    Biofuel Production from Sugarcane in Thailand

     

    Along similar lines: the clearing of large swathes of thickly vegetated land for short-lived solar panel farms - for the production of "green" electricity.

     

    Turns out humans are mostly idiots.

    If you are aware of the basic pay for immigration officials, you might be less judgmental about mandatory unofficial tipping for certain services by officials in Thailand. 

    Then you should be grandly tipping the honest Thais who make even less for doing harder work for you - cleaning your building, cooking your food ... from the minute you wake 'til the minute you drop.  

     

    Gotta laugh how people can string together non-sensical, though convenient, rationalizations.  Pathetic, actually.

  5. "Beast Of Burden"
     

    I'll never be your beast of burden
    My back is broad, but it's a-hurting
    All I want, for you to make love to me
    I'll never be your beast of burden
    I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
    All I want is for you to make love to me

    Am I hard enough?
    Am I rough enough?
    Am I rich enough?
    I'm not too blind to see

    I'll never be your beast of burden
    So let's go home and draw the curtains
    Music on the radio
    Come on, baby, make sweet love to me

    Am I hard enough?
    Am I rough enough?
    Am I rich enough?
    I'm not too blind to see

    Oh, little sister
    Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girls
    You're a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
    Pretty, pretty, such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
    Come on, baby, please, please, please

    I'll tell you, you can put me out on the street
    Put me out with no shoes on my feet
    But put me out, put me out
    Put me out of misery, yeah
    All your sickness, I can suck it up
    Throw it all at me, I can shrug it off
    There's one thing, baby, I don't understand
    You keep on telling me I ain't your kind of man

    Ain't I rough enough? Ooh, honey
    Ain't I tough enough?
    Ain't I rich enough? In love enough?
    Ooh, please

    I'll never be your beast of burden
    I'll never be your beast of burden
    Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
    I'll never be your beast of burden
    I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
    All I want is you to make love to me, yeah
    I don't need no beast of burden
    I need no fussing, I need no nursing
    Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

    A lawyer friend of mine says that this book should be required reading for all men of a certain age relocating to Thailand to meet up with their true love, or search for it.

    Received that book and was reading it my first months in Thailand - while the drama described in it was knocking on my door in real life.  Read similar excellent books at the time, too.  For these books I've been forever grateful to British Ken.  (Though Scot blood would probably have sufficed to protect my money in any event.)

    Who paid for your schooling to 18?

    Health care to 18?

     

    Precisely.  Not "free".  Somebody paid.  The same way I have pitifully paid taxes and respected the law all my adult life - both for myself and for the moribund community of which I was a part.

     

    I know what you meant when you used the word "free".  But, really, there ain't no free lunch.  Unless you're an illegal migrant to the West - then everything is free.  But we won't go there.
