  1. Not if there is another coup or even a Civil War!
  2. Whatever turns you on I suppose, but IMO weird!
  3. With respect, should that read "bag lady" or these days "bag person"?????
  4. Just like Prayut and his Generals in the Government after the coup!!
  5. IMO, great news indeed. Keep at it lads and lasses to eliminate the genocidal and terrorist organisation the Tatmadaw!! Very sorry for the refugees though.
  6. It would have been interesting to see photos of the albino eels rather than a pot with joss sticks!
  7. Yes indeed, especially in Lanna and Isaan. I hope he enters the country on an international flight into Chiang Mai - avoid Bangkok like the plague!! As an ex Northern "country bumkin"- my hero:
  8. When I lived in North Thailand, I always used Thai Post's Registered Airmail Service (NOT EMS) for letters to the UK. If I remember rightly, a red barcode label is stuck to the envelope, along with a blue "Airmail" label, and you can track right through from acceptance to delivery. At that time the cost was 80 baht and transit time up to 10 days.
  9. I wonder how long before the "bar stool" detectives have solved this?
  10. Will "G'day Mate" become "Hello Ducky"??
  11. Crispy duck pancakes served with sliced spring onion and hoisin sauce - delicious and one of my favourites!
  12. Yes indeed, but not until 2029/30 the earliest.
  13. The Thai military to learn "Tianamen Square" tactics - just in case??
  14. Well I never - not so "smooth as silk"!!
  15. Please note: This first phase to be completed by 2026 will link standard gauge HST tracks between Bangkok and Korat. It will be many years away before Bangkok is linked to Kunming. Contracts are still being discussed along with land purchases and environmental issues. Completion of the HST from Korat via Khon Kaen to Nong Khai and across the Mekong on a massive new bridge to Vientiene is a long, long way into the future. From the map below it is predicted HST will reach Nong Khai in 2029. HST planned in Thailand (Wikipedia 2022):
  16. Yes indeed! Perhaps the Thai tourist version of the Indian "Gold Necklace Syndrome"?
  17. Interesting - no mention of Pattaya, Phuket or Bangkok as retirement destinations. IMO quite rightly so!
  18. Thanks, my thought as well. I suffer when the temperatures and humidity are very high. For reference for those that may be unaware (Google) Heat rash — sometimes called prickly heat, sweat rash or miliaria, is a harmless but very itchy skin rash. It causes small red spots in places where sweat collects, such as the armpits, back, under the breasts, chest, groin, elbow creases and back of the knees, and the waist. To calm the itching or prickly feeling apply something cold, such as a damp cloth or ice pack (wrapped in a tea towel) for up to 20 minutes. tap or pat the rash instead of scratching it. do not use perfumed shower gels or creams.
  19. With respect, and as suggested elsewhere, maybe mental health problems are an issue. Sadly, it reminded me of my days as a UK Forensic Scientist when dealing with the victims of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide - "acid") hallucinations. reference: The short-term effects of LSD may include: seeing, smelling, hearing or touching things that aren’t real more intense senses a distorted sense of time and space strange feelings in the body, like floating rapidly changing or intense emotions altered state of thinking..................................etc. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/lsd-acid
  20. With the so-called "precision" surgical tools shown in the photo?? How about using a Craniotome Powered Surgical Skull Cutter Whatever - OUCH!!????
  21. Thanks, my thought as well - the important word "IF"
