  1. How many bungalows have you stayed in? How did you rent them? I'm interested for a family stay. But you are full of it.
  2. Wow, living the dream!
  3. Never stayed in a suite? With three girls. Shower the size of a a small condo. Great times.
  4. And some are much better than others. Cheap Charlie's wouldn't know this Susan.
  5. You don't get around much. Up to you. I don't do cheap.
  6. A yes B only if they buy imported goods C farmers will always sell their crops More American workers will be employed Wages will go up. Wether the economy survives is debatable. Can always have another world war to sort it out. Worked last time.
  7. Why? I don't do cheap.
  8. Under 600 baht hotel is well below my idea of good. Sounds like a flea pit. Nothing under 3000 baht a night for me up country. 7000 baht in a city. I like a good hotel and breakfast that us recognisable as food.
  9. Who? Should I know who you are babbling about?
  10. Who or what is Wayne? Please provide some context to your posts.
  11. Wow, never seen so many thumbs down on a single post. So tell me gentleman why? A whiny British commentator on US politics. I think he is a dickhead.
  12. After my first visit to Thailand many years ago, I installed one back in Oz. Straight connection to the water line which is fed from a bore pump to the toilet. The pump can easily achieve 60 psi as I found out after first time use. Very good for removal of haemorrhoids and and other body tissues. Fitted a pressure reduction valve shortly afterwards. Eyes have since returned to normal vision. Took a while though.
  13. Hopefully John Oliver will be next. Idiot.
  14. What has perfume got to do with anything? Best to stop sniffing before posting.
  15. I can see a problem at the initial flight check in. If their departure date is after their visa exempt stay, including the extension, they might have an issue. Check-in staff dont necessarily know about permission to stay extensions. Or even if it will be granted. Been there done that. I know there will be comments about stepping away and booking a fake flight.....ever tried that at a busy airport? See how that goes with 50 people lined up behind you all wanting to check-in after queueing for 30 minutes. Best thing I have I found is to book a genuine ongoing flight for the lowest possible price and simply don't go on the flight....throw away flight as it were. Might cost a hundred bucks but alleviates a lot of hassles. Done it a few times when I planned to go Savannkhet to get a multi non o based on marriage without 400k in a Thai bank. Those days are long gone unfortunately.
  16. Laoation or Burmese. Many Viet girls around to these days as well.
  17. Thaksin Shinawatra Moved to Prison Hospital Wing for Wealth. The, fixed the headline.
  18. I think the issue is keeping all kids on to the twelfth grade when they simply don't have the abilities required. Much better for them to leave school in grade ten and pursue something really useful and much needed like a trade. Don't need a degree for carpentry and brick laying. The thinking that everyone needs a grade 12 education and go on to university is flawed. Like the old joke....what does an arts graduate say ....would you like fries with that.
  19. In Australia the diagnosis of Autism seems to be linked to the seemingly unlimited capacity of the National Disability Insurance Scheme funds available. Bit like the old adage of junk expands to fill the available space.
  20. Perhaps it is the quantity of the fast food being consumed and not the quality, along with high sugar content drinks. Add in lack of exercise for the lard arses. Banning DDT was a crime against humanity. Millions have died from malaria when the mosquitoes could have been controlled or eradicated. Seem to remember that a study showed it may have caused a soft shell in an eagles egg and subsequently banned. My mum use to put liquid DDT on insect bites in the 60's.
  21. Is it possible that lifestyle is more of a factor than vaccines. A fat kid was a rarity when I was growing up. Look at videos of the Woodstock concert, not too many fatties there. Now it has become normal to the extent we now have the term fat shaming. Plus size models....ha ha. MacDonald's and KFC have a lot to answer for. My mum actually used to cook. Not heat up pre prepared food in a microwave. Add in the various herbicides and insecticides that are now being used that weren't around in the 50's and 60's and it could be quite a cocktail of factors that is affecting the population.
