Sex workers are also at risk.

It does not say she was a sex worker although most people will form their own opinion naturally. Can't wait for the spin that will be put on this though to pretend she was not involved in the trade and her contracting the disease was purely an act of God, or perhaps Buddha.

So know you know then. The galvanised is generally in far less section sizes and on the thinner walled sections which you often see on Thai houses were the spans are minimal.

Is it vegan beef? ????

Well wouldn't know but doubt it because the people I see eating it when walking past appear to be normal looking Thais as vegans are generally scrawny, wear bandanas and quite often have some sort of skin infection don't they ????

Do you mean the oiled black steel compared to the galvanized steel which you refer to as shiny ?

Looks like the netizens on Thai social media did the work of the police. In the meantime the son is on parole and his father the real owner is where? It would be nice to think we'll see him arrested for this but the odds are currently not good. 19 dead so far and others with horrific burns. I would be banned for saying what he deserves

I am still trying to discover his connections, if any, to the RTN, as clearly he appears to have someone other than the bent police ( now removed to another posting ) allowing him to dodge the "bullets", metaphorically speaking of course.

Apologies Excel, just seen your link which I also posted. 

no problem.

So has this delay allowed Somyot Panprasong to do a "runner" I  wonder ? He was known about on the 6th August so why only now did the police act ?

I live in Korat and we currently grow mulberries, figs, limes and lemons, two avocados (but haven't had much success with these, so not really recommended), mangos, a variety of guava, bananas, golden berries, raspberries, black berries and pomegranate. We have also grown strawberries in the past and my missus is growing quite a lot of blueberries right now.  All of the above bear fruit, bar the two avocados. 

We have also grown a variety of veggies in the past and I'm going to try growing goji berries soon. We even have apple trees growing here! But absolutely no fruit as it's simply too warm. 

Jack fruit grow very well too

Burger King has probably tripled in price since they started here.

 

I never fancied McD, and BK was in the early years about the same price but much larger burgers etc.

 

These days you must have won the lottery to afford a BK menu

 

 

So from what you say then BK are now top of the grotty food chains both in product size and cost.

What happened to good ol' yaba? - Oh yes, can't be "grown" in Thailand, so, at this time, not considered...

Well maybe if they thought they could make money out of it I'm sure some one in government would try and re-legalise it as Ya ba tablets were formerly sold legally at gas stations and used by long-haul drivers to stay awake. The drug was outlawed by the Thai government in 1970

This thread has put a whole new meaning to my old corner shop that had an electronic buzzer that went bing bong ????

Melania Trump used newfound leverage to redo prenup after election win, new book says

When the first lady stayed in N.Y. after inauguration, she said it was for Barron's schooling. But there's more to it.

Well that nails it and good for her. 

Just now, heybruce said:

I'm certain of it.  If there is one thing Trump does know, it is how to get in and out of marriages with the minimum of cost and inconvenience.

So you think she may have done, but in truth we don't really know.

Maybe sending him to prison will get her out of the ironclad pre-nup she had to sign.

Did she ?

My answer would be what would a "Military" anything have to do with any type of education that you would get in the UK? Or any other country for that matter.

Read this and learn a bit

I always wanted to give Shari Lewis my own lamb chop.

Even where education is concerned. ????

I'm not sure about that as I don't know whether the military academy that Prawit attended has sodomy as an initiation act, unlike Eton so perhaps the unacademic subject matters are not comparable.

Not really. I was making the point of posters on here. Likely 100% non Thai. All commenting about McD. 

In that case you are possibly correct, which illustrates clearly a comment that I made in an earlier post that "That Thais would not know the difference" so hence it would not be them complaining about the beef quality as they know no different given that they have no comparators.
