  1. I find all these references and comparisons to sheep highly amusing to be honest. Has anybody on here making such comparisons ever witnessed "sheep dog trials" very entertaining watching a lone farmer working together in perfect harmony with a dog or sometimes several dogs, controlling them often by using a whistle or just a few grunts in an ancient and incomprehensible language (welsh) skillfully guiding a large herd into a confined space that they instinctively fear and try to avoid I doubt any on here and few in Thailand would be capable. Solely due to the amount of skill involved Conversely people are relatively easy to control and manipulate, there are various relatively simple techniques, the use of fear, (especially of the unknown) worked wonders for governments during the Covid "crisis". Another method that works well is the handing out of small amounts of cash. nothing hard about that
  2. Her intestinal complications may inspire her to produce another piece of "art" at least she will have a glut of the raw materials required
  3. But who do you think sanctions these coups ? ( I have no idea) You surely did not think it was all Prayuths idea did you?
  4. Foreigners trying to get a slice of this pie rarely last long (with the exception of chinese)
  5. Total rubbish, living beyond their means is a national pastime, and face is of course everything, Brand new pickups on no deposit, 7 year finance, ( initially) and top of the range I phones, and that is out in the sticks where I live, Not to mention borrowing against and often losing the very land they need to earn a living, sometimes literally just for a party ! You appear to have no idea
  6. Absolutely correct except the final sentence. They seldom wait to clear one before taking on another, Borrowing from peter to pay paul is the way to go for most of them.
  7. Not easy to say from under a pickup though is it Have you any idea how many Thais default on loans and finance. The word in Thai language for "debt" and the word for "running away and disappearing" is almost identical, the only difference being the tone used in pronunciation The word is "Nee" be worried if you overhear your TeeRak using this word with either a high or rising tone, be especially concerned if she uses them both in the same sentence
  8. They could even have sold it , or traded down but that would involve loss of face
  9. You haven't been at the wicket very long either have you?
  10. You guess correctly, its one of their core beliefs. Not only happiness but status and respect too. Its a deeply ingrained philosophy within their religious establishment too, there are plenty of examples for reference
  11. They are part of the establishment, How else would you explain the subject of the OP
  12. Ah yes, of course, I had forgotten all about that visa and its requirements, best avoided in my opinion Thanks for the confirmation
  13. Since when has medical insurance been a requirement for a 12 month extension based on retirement, ? that's news to me
  14. He has an unusually shaped head
  15. I think the vast majority of Thais have long since given up hope of having an honest and competent government. They are offered a bit of money at election time by the representatives of the various political factions and vote accordingly. My missis got 100 baht off one of them and genuinely did not dare to vote for anybody else "for fear of reprisals" she said, but I think an inbuilt sense of deference , to her "superiors" ( "up people" as she calls them) played a major part. Personally I have long since given up concerning myself, just let them crack on with it
  16. A personal favorite of mine is when they situate the roadblock / checkpoint right after a blind bend in the road, with no advance warning signs of course.
  17. This is a very common fantasy amongst some members of AN
  18. you are partly correct, it suits me down to the ground. I doubt you would be accepted though they don't like your sort here, they don't like your sort anywhere, the clock is ticking, enjoy while you can.
  19. I wouldn't even class him as a troll, some sort of attention seeker maybe, or just plain "special"
  20. your on the system pal they have you earmarked as a wrong'un
  21. Walk being the operative word, you should consider selling your Tmax, whatever one of those is, your card has been marked and your days are numbered
  22. even though you did not have one? They would not say that No they didn't say that either Your entire post is total fictional rubbish, I would be very interested to know why you bothered,
  23. Couldn't agree more georgina, You said you had blocked me, how disappointing that is not the case, do you not know how to? Still no apology for accusing me of being a "closet pedo" ? come on you know you you want to
  24. In the link you posted yesterday to the mayo clinic, the CDC advice quoted there was, well a little different The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends wearing masks if you choose to, and in specific places and situations. In areas that have many people with COVID-19 in the hospital, the CDC recommends wearing a face mask indoors in public. recommends wearing a mask if you choose to ok you go with that then
  25. In the UK it was claimed (unsurprisingly) that covid was a "racist virus" as it disproportionately affected them So its fair to assume that their masks didn't help much either The beards don't help when wearing masks, the men had similar problems
