Billionaire Peter Thiel and other wealthy Americans have decided to go to New Zealand in the event of disaster.   They have built underground bunkers in New Zealand and their lavish homes have safe rooms.   Peter Thiel became a citizen of New Zealand after 12 days in the country, while others are choosing New Zealand's Investor Plus Visa.

I am not certain why they would select NZ, as it is as seismically active as Japan,  and more than likely will remain so.

 The notion of "bugging out" of anyplace the size of BKK is just plain silly.   The roads are jacked every day as it is,  add some calamity on top of that and look out!

At that point,  fighting off the zombie hoards will not be effective.    Your best bet is to try to get out as soon as possible,  but in the mean time blend into the background as much as possible... Good luck with your white skin.   Have a way to make clean water, and a skill that people need and don't be an <deleted>... 

and of course,  panic sex (with total strangers) at the slightest sign that the human race may go extinct,  and you are it's only way of salvation.

I went for a spin on my motorbike today in Samut Sakhon.   I decided to roll by the Chan Le place (it is the spot on the water with the red dock that goes out for about 1/2 mile over the water.)

Looks like in the evenings you can check out phosforescent/sp lights in the water from some sort of bio illuminescent critter.

on my way back I saw some motion in a feild that has been left barren and vacant,  I was stunned when I saw 2 Big river otters chasing each other around out in the middle of the field.

These were regular river otters like we have back in the Pacific NW.   I had no idea that they live here as well.  

Somebody'd hit a dragon out there too,  it was a 5 footer and must have caused a mess of whatever hit it.   It made me wonder if there are other things that we need to watch out for if we are driving.   Back home we have troubles with deer and bears getting hit by vehicles.   Are there deer here?  What about wild pigs?

Thanks for the tips,   i checked out the kaidee site,  and it looks like it is all in thai language,  I didn't find any version of it in english.

does anyone know if they have one?

Hey all,   Is anyone else on here disappointed by Craigslist in Thailand?   I live in a small city back in So Oregon, and there is more stuff on the Craigslist there than there is in all of the Craigslist for thailand.

I have looked at other sites like Baht sold.   I am wondering if there are some other sites like Craigslist for thailand that you might point me towards?

is there a website like amazon here in thailand?   I found Lazada and have made a few orders from them,  and I am uncertain if I will continue to use them,  because some of the orders take 3 weeks or so to receive.

anyone have any suggestions?

Your help is much appreciated.
