All UK hospitals test every admission for covid, no matter what you are admitted for. However if you are an employee, nah, not so much. Crazy way to run a hospital.

Winters here. Clear skies, with a humidity drop in the last 24-48 hours. Had the windows open, no ac, this morning. 😃 Might as well dig the snow tires out of storage this weekend. Those winter storms are not that far away now.

Oh my. Best to take deep breaths and walk away from the keyboard at these moments. Back to the OP, you wonder if he was a diagnosed mental back in the US and somehow able/allowed to travel. He should be in a mental institution, instead he is out travelling. His family might be relieved, even happy he is going to be staying for some time in Thailand. Garf.

Air quality is not good across mainland SEAsia (and the subcontinent btw) in the hot season. No rains, little wind, burning of agricultural & forest land in preparation for the rains return, makes for heat, haze and smoke. Yes, Chiang Mai because of its location and topography does get it a bit worse than other places. The peninsula and islands have a different climate pattern, and it helps being close to the sea in clearing out some of the haze. Still I have been in Hua Hin when it was dry burnt on the hillsides and hazy atmosphere. It's always something.

Sure you did. Back to Chiang Mai, it does seem like we are getting more of these 'fringe types' in the mini US expat wave. Still posters on AN will be relieved the perp is not a ‘Woke person’. According to posters here they are more dangerous a menace, even than this deranged knife welding nutter.

Tough gun control, ok, thanks for mining that on wiki btw. Years ago, while at the ‘lowest bar in the world’ at Ein Gedi, two seniors citizens always brought in their old uzzis. Granted they did check them at the bar. That, and a few other incidents gave me the wrong idea about gun control in Israel. I stand corrected.

Right because WOKE people always pose with their rifles in their NRA promo selfies. ???? Try Again.

A anti gun control post in a Chiang Mai stabbing thread? You see everything these days. Gun control in Israel, where military service is compulsory and ex service people keep weapons at their home. Better up your anti gun control posting game, not just toss it against the wall and hope something sticks. Cheers

I doubt the beauty or non beauty of the station had much to do with it. Bus travel is down across the country, has been for over a decade. More thais own cars & trucks. I shipped my bikes in the bottom of a double decker tour bus back in 2018, as they could not fill half the seats and were shipping freight. Lamphun is a small terminal and time consuming for busses to get to from the main HWY, to pick up relatively few passengers.

Detained and charged mean nothing. Surat Mat-osod was jailed after a fatal boat accident in Krabi. Yet he got out in a couple years (or months) and went back to driving boats at Phuket. Who says you cannot rehabilitate criminals?! Of course he did have another tragic & fatal accident in 2019. Who would have thunk it?

The Koh Tao double murder, Kirsty Jones. No idea what the UK Police thought would be accomplised by making a visit. What actually happend, their involvement is seen as a seal of approval of the RTP's work. You could see that coming a mile away. Garf! Yep, an Accessory After The Fact. If they came for this case, just more of the same.

UK police should never come here, unless they are happy with being seen as accessorries after the fact.

Phuket Go is "Mainstream media" to you?! Garf.

Comprehension problems? Let me re print that for you. " Tops at C. Festival always have whole grain and dark breads in stock. "

Jo's bakery have been delivering less to Nim City Rimping and I have not seen their bread at Ping river branch for some time. Sad as I really like their Rye and Pumpernickel. Their shop in Hang Dong would be the place to go. Nana bakery has certain days for certain bread; Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for their multi grain loaf, for example. If you call they will reserve for you. I used to have the small Nana shop reserve a multi grain for me. Now I go to the bigger Nana bakery down the road at 89 plaza. Tops at C. Festival always have whole grain and dark breads in stock.

02 gyms are pretty cheap. I would check the current state of the Duangtawan facilities before you buy anything long term. As always up 2U, but you are warned.

Grabbing the groceries in a theatre? I think you’ll find she was searching for Hunter Biden’s laptop, on behalf of the American People.

I doubt they will get any money, but likely, even americans <deleted>), understand they were almost killed. First westerner I knew personally, who died in LOS, was electrocuted at his new koi pond. Older Euro. Call it 'death by Non-Nany state', as he had just hired a person to put in lighting. Zap. Likely most have forgotten about the Indian couple found dead in a pool in Koh Tao. So many die there, this flew under the radar. However, one news article mentioned the pool was having work done. Bingo. Like anything else on that island, we will never know for sure, but yes electrocuted, fits with all the evidence we have. It is a problem here for sure. If you want to whinge about it, fine, pop a Leo, swill & have at it. Cheers

So you want to nuke them both. What a maroon.

Dr Berg ... a Chiropractor Sorry for breaking out in laughter. You need tissue?

Laos Luang Prabang Indonesia, likely not Bali I judge a country by its street food. Cambodia is out on that alone. After that, not in SEA; Greece, Guatemala or Colombia. I like the idea of Montevideo, but know nothing about it. Moot point though as likely I will add to the thai ball and chain, with the purchase of a house.

They are all over town, check your local area. South, SE quadrant; Chiang Mai Gate market in the morning, Kad Kom, in the evening. As this is Wednesday there will be a afternoon market at Plaza 89 on the CM Lamphun RD. A happening place. You can stop at Bakemart coop on the way down, Nana Bakery when there, shop for veggees, & have a meal at one of the restaurants. Like the plaza 89 market described above ; open Monday & Wednesday, the Sailomjoy mrkt by the Mengrai Anuson bridge is open Tuesday and Thursday.. Get out and support your local small markets.

Say what you will about the hokey video. It gives our keyboard warrior caste, a chance to crawl out from under a rock, & engage in one of their deeper cultural needs. The sheer joy in finding fault. Reckon they will celebrate a successful morning's work by digging out a frozen meat pie to toss in the microwave for lunch, and who can blame them?!

Still obsessing about what Thai people do in Thailand?! Perhaps now is the time to move on to a new obsession; Chemtrails, DEW wildfires, or Pizza Parlor pedophilliac basements. As always, our hopes and prayers are with you.

If it is a Falango. If it's a foreigner, they do not mention the country as China is sensitve about their image.
