Supervision.....what you talkin' Bout doc? ????

My wife likes ShabuShabu in Big C at Muang Phitsanulok. She can out eat me with a selection whilst I just have meat and prawns with those little rice snacks wrapped in seaweed.  Never been asked to pay more.  Guess I am not eating enough!

Wouldn't mind one of them, just for fun, target practice in the backyard. Does anyone know if you can buy these in Korat or Khon Kaen? Or if you can buy online in Thailand and have one delivered?

Hard to find a seller in Phitsanulok too.  Would like the metal pallet version to discourage stray dogs from hanging around.

Honada is a clone at less than half the Honda 4 stoke price.  Honada use once then fix,  use once then fix.....  After 2 years I  just took it to the recycle centre for scrap!  Now I  just pay the guy to do it.  My B-in-L has a genuine Honda.  After 5 years still going strong. 

If the inept could be removed from office with wishful thinking...this thread could surely do it!   It takes real action from real Thais to achieve that goal.  And it comes with broken sculls,  dead bodies and blood on the streets.   Remember the ones who come next maybe worse than the ones deposed!  This is Thailand after all. 

Any mention of what year October is in?  With the flip flopping like a fish out of water I am totally unsure whether today is a flip or it  is a flop.  Won't be long and the fish will be dead! 

Yep,  just as the rice harvesters are getting to work!   42mm at the house,  43 at orchard #1 and 44 at orchard #2.

Its what happens to any country which gets a Military indoctrinated government run by second rate soldiers.

555 Aim at the right target.  Why rate the ordinary soldier as second rate.   They are afterall only a product of their training.  Aim your venom at those with high rank, the usurpers who may wear a Generals uniform, but may not Deserve to,  they are responsible for all that happens.

Visa/Work Permit not an issue........ the Thai FA decrees that each club is allowed a quota of overseas players.

 

 

Robbie Fowler ex-Liverpool played for Muang Thong Utd for a while.

So the problem is there isn't enough Thai's with the necessary skills to kick a round ball???

"16years here i have never had the problem"  Your one lucky baa-sted!   Around here we have never gone a week without the water going out, or the electric going out, or the internet going out!

Entertainment you just can't buy!  I haven't watched TV in 18 months.  TVF gives me all the laughter I need.

I would say this is great, but there is simply no enforcement in Thailand, so the products cannot be trusted.

You may get a few surprises if you bother to look into it!

Uzbekistan!  Why would a Thai soccer club be recruiting in Uzbekistan???  ????

Prayut may have had a shred of decency in my estimation but leaving so many people in need  behind when times got tough tears away any decency he had.   Now I  think of him as an usurper,  a blaggard at best.  No leader of any country that does what he does...or doesn't...needs to go.

A pity they did not find any fake ministers.

They know where they are,  but are unwilling to bite the hand that feeds them.  Back in 2008 when I  was still doing my tourist visa lark I went shopping for fake bags my daughter had requested.  A lane off Beach Rd that goes through to Second Rd has some bag sellers one of which took me to a shop a short distance away to pick what I wanted.  There wasn't much so I  said thanks and was about to go when he said come with me to see more bags. So we went to another shop opposite and they had a mountain of bags!  I reckon they take you to the first shop to sus you out before they show their main stock. Anyway I  bought 3 for my daughter which made her happy.  There was bags and bags, enough to half fill a 20ft container. I thought it was unreal at the time.

Products probably purchased from China and re-sold.

I'd rather buy off Aliexpress than Lazada because the Chinese at least bother to list and describe their products in English.   Well some Lazada sellers do but a lot do not.  And Russian buyers with English second language would probably prefer Aliexpress as a result.

Stories like this cause me real worry.  I think we are only at the tip of the iceberg regarding global economic fallout from this pandemic.  It's far from over and where does a country like Thailand go from here with zero covid? You cannot get better then zero. IF it grows to say 100 - 200 - 500 in the coming months will they again try to shut the country down?

My question is who is benefiting from all the disruptions?  Obviously Rothschild's bank, as always,  but who else? 

I am not seeing it!   How can anyone without guns have coup d etat?  Maybe the navy is pizzed off because they not getting their submarines when they want them.  Other than the navy, the airforce? 555 Come on. Pull the other one!

As i understand it: 50% have a natural immunity to Covid, 25% will have mild or be asymptotic, 15% will have bad flu and 5-10% will have serious problems and need to be hospitalized.

So you can't hide 20% of the cases, they will go to the hospital to be tested, have problems breathing etc. You can't about your hospitals overflowing with patients.

Go to a public hospital any day of the week except weekends and you will find they are overflowing in the outpatients department anyway.  The bigger the hospital the bigger the crowd.   Now I will say not all people are sick, a lot of people have a friend with them.  When we take mar to the public hospital in Phitsanulok if we get there about 7 am her ticket number will be 100+.  So, if there was an extra 2 or 3 people....what's the difference?  Multiply 2 or 3 over 70 provinces daily x 5 days and you have 700 to 1050.  Week in and week out it starts to add up!
