Burma Bill

With due respect, I know he was not responsible for the fire BUT...........!

Well I never - that was really taking the piss!

I am not surprised. Mitrephol take note!! IMO as a type 2 insulin dependent diabetic, Thai foods and beverages are "stuffed full" with sugar. Also the availability of "junk" fried foods. The choice of low sugar and sugar free products is very limited in Thailand compared to here in Cambodia where there is a wide choice of such imported products. Maybe Thai "protectionism" prevents the import of healthier options?

Is their sexual activity to be trunk-ated?

I sincerely hope not back to his family. You earn my respect young man and I wish you good luck and success back in Burma, especially when the Junta is defeated and democracy returns.

With respect, no not at all. I only visited Birkenhead once in my lifetime. However, before retiring to Thailand and now Cambodia, I lived down south in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire. Nowadays Newport Pagnell is within the metropolitan area of Milton Keynes City and not Buckinghamshire as such. But the original post code is maintained MK16. 👍

Perhaps he got a touch of "Bangkok Belly" and needed a dump?

For reference;- Tranmere is NOT in Liverpool. It is across the River Mersey in Birkenhead, Cheshire. (UK)

My first big laugh of the day! Electrifying nightlife? It is shocking!

With respect, I am not surprised if the Americans organised the debate!

I have just returned home to Siem Reap (Cambodia) from a visit to the private Ratchaphruek Hospital in Khon Kaen (January 13th to January 15th 2025). The weather was clear with sunshine, but rather chilly, with NO pollution throughout the return drive via the O'Smach border crossing and across country via Surin and Buriram to Khon Kaen. khon Kaen was refreshingly clear. This was sugarcane country and it was harvest time. I saw no evidence of burning the cane, just the cutting of the cane for loading onto trucks.

These - very common in Thailand, especially out in the sticks! No "bum gun", just a plastic bowl, no toilet paper, no wash basin, no soap and a squat loo! Very off putting when seen in restaurants and used by customers who return to the table and then use their hands to pick ice from a bucket and put it into beers.

It must have been "soul- destroying" for him!

Most of the food and drink outlets at BKK and DMK are expensive, however at DMK, there is a halal outlet tucked away in a waiting area for gates where its sandwiches were around 80 baht compared to others at 100 - 125 baht. I have seen the staff freshly preparing them. By the way, I am not a Muslim but someone who appreciates value for money.

Thanks - my thought exactly.

Well I never - safe and trusted Thailand (according to TAT!!)

For reference: Here in Siem Reap, Cambodia, most boxed electrical goods are opened by the staff so that the goods can be seen working (or not) when plugged into an electricity supply. The purchaser can then buy and the box repacked. MAKRO in Siem Reap is a good example, where I recently purchased an LED desk light after testing. IMO this behaviour is not bizarre or annoying, it is "peace of mind" knowing what I bought works properly.

Saucy lady!

Mangrove bushes instead of electricity poles?

Yes indeed Simon, and best wishes from me. Good luck with the Burmese language studies.

Leaving victims frothing at the mouth?
