Orcs will be orcs. Lucky these quality tourists now have 90 days of visa free access to Thailand unlike the rest of the rabble who only qualify for 30 days.

I have started using the Bard AI web page for Thai<->English translations because they seem much better than the weird translations provided by Google. Bard also makes changes to the translation to make it more natural-sounding and accurate.

Congratulations on reaching old age without needing filling. You obviously took good care of your teeth over a lifetime. I have had many fillings since my youth and some of them came out and caused problems after a couple of decades or longer. If you are already in your 70s for example, chances are your new fillings will outlive you. Go to a dentist and get an expert opinion.

I use the Fusion 5 blades. They seem to be good for at least 6 months each before I start noticing the blade getting dull. Hmmm. Now that I think about it, at 6 months a blade (6 packs each 4 blades) I probably have about 12 years worth in the drawer. Then it will be time to grow a beard.

A year ago my local supermarket had the wrong price on the razor blades I usually buy. They are usually around $29.95 for a pack of 4 but these were priced at $9.95 so I think someone accidentally dropped the leading '2' in the computer system. Anyway, I bought all the packets on the shelf and now I have a supply of cheap blades for the next 5 years. They don't even have a used by date.

At least they weigh much more than before unlike potato chip packets and chocolate bars.

I don't mind ladies looking at my bum as long as I can look at theirs in return.

That is brilliant. I cannot stop laughing.

There is your answer. Money is the most important thing for Thailand. People don't matter.

Is that guy in the photo a member of the All Blacks?

He has a YouTube channel and the article gives his full name. It takes 30 seconds to find his "over-complicated butter chicken" video and see his face. Why do they bother to blur it in the photos in the article?

I read in the Spanish news that he was in a homosexual relationship with the guy he murdered but was actually heterosexual and just in it for the money. When the "chef" got bored and tried to get out of the relationship the doctor blackmailed him and threatened to tell his family if he did not stay. So instead of just saying "I don't care, tell them" he decided murder was the answer. Too bad for both of them that they could not sort out their little differences like gentlemen.

I know which one I would be paying first.

I am not afraid of death but would be very disappointed if it came too soon because I am really enjoying my life now. But then again, it would be hard to be disappointed if I am dead so in the end it does not matter. Perhaps my Thai wife might be disappointed, although with her inheritance she might be somewhat happy.

I am sorry to hear your wife died. I hope you are OK.

I had a woman ghost me once. Does that count?

The only motorbikes I ever ride in Thailand are the Bangkok motorbike taxis, and then it is only for short SLOW rides where it feels relatively safe(ish). One time I went from Asoke to Din Daeng on the back of a motorbike taxi doing 80kph and felt a mixture or terror and thrill the whole trip. But I would NEVER do that again.

I donated online to a older Brit who had a financial problem in Thailand. No regrets.

Wait till they go outside then they will know what hot is.

And in the other story for the day, the Thai PM meeting with that war criminal putin and publishing a disgusting photo of it for the world to see.

No, it just shows what a tiny thing putin is.

I am absolutely disgusted with Thailand sleazing up to two of the worst dictatorships on the planet, ruzzia and China. Money seems to beat morailty with Thais.

What wonderful writing. Love it. ????

I only watch YouTube on my PC because trying to watch YouTube videos on my Android phone is infuriating. Not only the many ads but also the mutation they call a user interface on their phone version. No ads on my PC because of FireFox and the AdBlock Plus addon. I also download many videos using 4KDownloader if I think I ever want to watch them again, such as my favourite music videos. If on the rare occasion I want to watch YouTube videos on my TV or home theatre, I just use my PC as the internet connection and local area Wi-Fi to connect to the TV or projector, no ads.

I love Studio Ghibli animes. I have so many movies that I rarely have time to watch any of them more than once. Exceptions are Blade Runner (original) and The Matrix (first one only). There are a few others I would watch again if I had the time.
