Tourist Rescued from Tree Following Parasailing Accident on Phuket Beach
You forgot "Hiring a jetski without a lawyer in attendance" 🤔 But seriously, the operators of this parasailing outfit SHOULD know not to go near trees such as this just in case the wind change - but TIT! Quite frankly it terrifies me but i get dizzy if I stand on a beermat 😮

Why are so many foreigners residing in Thailand problematic types?
It is called Generative Artificial Intelligence and the best way to answer your question is for you to search (Google, or Bing or whatever) that exact phrase. You will almost certainly be one or more of the following: Fascinated Amazed Horrified Scared Overwhelmed Then look at my post immediately above where I say "AI is a great tool.....etc"

I prefer to do it myself - thanks
Depends on the spirit, mate. But then I also have mixers in spirits, beer, IMO, should be good on its own chilled, or in the case of most UK beers at room temperature. However, i think you're British, aren't you, so you would know that unless of course you happen to be winding me up.....as if!

Really cannot agree with you there. Whether my comment is original or not, NO beer should ever have ice in it. If it tastes so bad it needs ice, drink something else! However, it is improved by being served ice cold and as long as you drink it before it warms up it's just about drinkable...IMO. The liquid sold as beer in Thailand is, agreed, technically beer, but for a Brit used to drinking proper ale, bitter, stout etc it's a poor substitute. It's not even as tasty as a good lager! Having said that, I do drink it because i like being in bars and cannot drink spirits all night.....does that count as going with the flow? 😂

I agree with proper beer....But the so-called beer that's sold in Thailand? Not so much At least it means you don't have to taste it. 😊

What is a low fat Thai dish?
Indeed (and also to @gamb00ler ) in UK it's definitely sold as Rapeseed oil - available in most supermarkets. I've never seen Canola oil here, but then I've never actually looked for it.

What is a low fat Thai dish?
Rapeseed oil, widely available and cheaper than olive oil in UK, but I don't know about Thailand. I've now got to where I prefer it for cooking. It's also much easier to clean from utensils which, to me, shows that it's lighter.

A New Beginning in Thailand
Great book - read it years ago and, as the French say “Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose “ – the more things change, the more they stay the same…
