The syllable pii (พี่) is used in compound words to mean elder, and alone it means elders.

Bangkok braces for severe outbreak of three diseases
cdemundo replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
" Let's say you exposed a group of people to a virus. Some wouldn't get sick at all, then others would get varying degrees of symptoms from very mild to serious" Brilliant, shows a deep understanding, I feel humbled. -
My only knowledge the OP being from his posts on this group... I think he should be grateful that anyone wishes him a good anything.

I am most sad about the destruction of major cities. Why oh why? -

It seems that a lot of the vaccine skeptics/"healthy immune system" crowd have very little understanding of the immune system. Starting with the basics: "The immune system is made up of two parts: the innate, (general) immune system and the adaptive (specialized) immune system." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279396/#:~:text=Last Update%3A July 30%2C 2020,adaptive (specialized) immune system. (The link is a good place to start.) Someone who doesn't understand this (general and adaptive components) cannot understand the role of vaccines. What the "healthy, natural immune system" crowd says indicates that they do not understand the general and adaptive immune system. -
Yes, Bangkok suburb, Saphan Sung.

I live in a condo complex that has 7 buildings with 24 units each. I rarely see anyone. There are a bunch of retired Thai men who I see as they go walking together most mornings. I don't know if they have wives or families. The people in the 3 apartments on the same floor as me are quiet and I seldom see them. No problems.

Concerns after two foreign women sunbathe in Chiang Mai temple
cdemundo replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Seems the monk wasn't bothered, just the Thai "Karen" if that is still a current expression. -
I went to a temple with a Thai woman, she paid a monk to have her fortune told (I think). After we left the temple she told me the monk had offered that for a hefty fee he would cast a spell on me to fall in love with her and marry her. Apparently she wasn't tempted to do that. I don't think that is mainstream Buddhism.

"massive inferiority complex." Brits seem to have avoided that problem quite handily. -

I think Oscar Wilde said it best: "Work is the curse of the drinking class." -
Duane Allman and Dicky Betts playing off each other in the Allman Brothers Band, nothing else like it. Someone told Duane he was a great guitarist, he answered "No, I'm a famous guitarist, Dicky Betts is a great guitarist". So many great players, but I think the interplay between these two is something special.

Good thoughts. It seems a lot of posts are "attempts at humor". Problem is that attempts at humor and humor are not the same thing. -
