Has the actual Shape of Earth been decided here yet? Most people believe the the earth to be round as it's too difficult to say 'spherical'. And even harder to say 'ellipsoidal'. Uh oh ... Figure of the Earth

Lee65 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The project's first 10 years should be spent removing the abandoned concrete buildings that blanket the region. -
Is it time for you to face reality and LEAVE ?
Lee65 replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
One maybe counter-intuitive phenomenon is people getting stuck in a place that's the worst for them. When things are good or OK or not-so-bad we have the energy/mood/money to keep on moving. But find yourself in a bad place too long and you may not be able to get out. The takeaway: vote with your feet - before it's too late. -

Just go (or stay) where it is best for you. ("Going home" could be much worse for those who've little money.) But do remember to reassess regularly. -
Glad you've rejoined the sentient.

Thailand’s national park chief in custody on corruption charges
Lee65 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Wait, what?! From the linked article: Chaiwat (the whistle blower) and his three former subordinates at Kaeng Krachan national park are facing murder charges for the enforced disappearance of Karen activist Porlajee Rakchongcharoen, aka “Billy”, about eight years ago. -
5 Causes of New or Increasing Negativity in Older Adults
Lee65 replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It's the young people's incessant, mindless, positivity that drives me crazy. ???? -
I agree. The lack of decent, scheduled bus service - BIG bus service - all the way along between Bangkok, Chonburi, Bangsaen, Sri Racha, Pattaya, and Chanthaburi and Trat is a disgrace. But the "why" of it is dangerous to speculate on - for our own sanity. My guess is the public sector which could implement a bus route (The Transport Co.?) - and which can do little right anyway - likes the tax revenue from petrol sales to the private vehicles. And my impression of the private sector bus lines is they also are too wrapped up in corruption, fear, and incompetence to make this obvious route successful.

74 Year-Old British Man Arrested on Samui Island for 38 Days of Overstay
Lee65 replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Who knows why this elderly guy was on overstay? Could have dementia, could have been a misunderstanding, may have been in hospital. Or maybe, for you law-and-order nut jobs, he's an evil ne'er-do-well intent on overthrowing the treasured norms of civilized society. And probably has two heads, too. With horns. And red eyes. And kicks sleeping dogs. -
Well, you'll find many cunning linguists here!

"Pensions add up to about 6k Euros monthly, so Im not poor, but not rich either. " To the overwhelming majority of the 8 billion people in the world you are indeed very rich. First stop on your personal journey in siphoning off of others in retirement is to open your eyes.

Why is Thai immigration so <deleted>ty?
Lee65 replied to gejohesch's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
A lot of folks are content being treated poorly by authority. Witness the last 3 years. -
On a positive note, the ever-worsening air pollution (Feb - April, minimum) propels CM residents to travel each year.

Advice requested- Sri Racha, Bang Saen or Rayong
Lee65 replied to Scouse123's topic in Eastern Thailand
Not Bang Saen! The water is usually filthy, the beach packed with Thai tourists from Bangkok - particularly, but not exclusively, on weekends - and the traffic is nightmarish much of the time. -
Bali’s Sex Ban Outside Marriage Won’t Affect Tourism Officials Say
Lee65 replied to webfact's topic in World News
So what happens when inevitably some local police officer or governor doesn't get, or disregards, the memo to 'ignore foreigners breaking the law'? On the bright side, this is another reason to not revisit Indonesia. ???? -

Thanks everyone in this thread for reminding me why I buy almost nothing online anymore. (Shocker: I didn't need the stuff anyway!) -
Wise as a bank account for my pensions

Unless they're illegals with their hands out crossing the channel on rubber dinghies. UK government has now become the Brits' worst enemy. -
WISE Card is accepted in supermarkets?

Why only "more than 100" credit cards? Shirley you're missing something?
