Thais dont need visas for Japan, that's why its a popular destination 

That is true. When my wife and I visit Japan she receive 15 days visa free.

They would demand Messerschmitt 109 because it has Benz engine.

I am diabetic but do not like to use artificial sweetener therefore I use low G I coconut blossom sugar (sap from the flower). The brand I buy is quite expensive compared to cane sugar but a 1kg tub lasts a very long time and has negligible coconut taste and is very good in coffee and to use in baking.

My Process is simple, but it does use the microwave. I use a litre at at a time of whole milk. 7.5 minutes on full temperature. After it has sat on the counter for about an hour to cool somewhat I add 2 tablespoons of yoghurt culture. This goes into a 1 litre insulated bucket and is left on the counter overnight. After about 12 hours I can decant, it's solid and firm.

 

But I really prefer Greek-style, so I strain the result using cheesecloth for another 3 or 4 hours. Voila.  I usually end up discarding about 3-400ml of whey liquid, because I haven't found a use for it yet..

 

Cheesecloth can be bought on Lazada. 

I do like Greek yoghurt also. I use the whey I have leftover from making Greek yoghurt to replace the water in bread baking. Whey has healthy enzymes and does impart a nice mild sour flavour to the loaf and the crumb it is softer.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong - but wasn't he elected as an MP in the last election? Doesn't he now have a duty to his electorate to attend parliament and campaign for all the things he promised them?

 

No he was not. He has never dared face the popular vote.

According to Russian Telegram channels Wagner has now entered Voronezh, disposing of Russian army element sent to confront it. Wagner boss said war was started by Russian elites keen to take control of Ukraine resources. Poutine was going to install one of his family as president of Ukraine in order to facilitate the acquisition of the wealth.

Nah. Mormon missionary. They learn Thai so they can spread the word.

Yes, Mormon. I watched program about best language teachers and the Mormons were acknowledged as number one. All languages are a very intense 6 week course except Mandarin and Cantonese which are 9 weeks. Only the target language may be spoken. Nearly all students are fluent or close to fluency at the end, depending on language.

That is both Prawit and Anoutine who have now denied involvement and both have prime ministerial ambitions. Who will be the next branleur to step forward and deny.

Minor case of fraud against farang. Nothing will come of this.

 

Why don't the parents get the proper paperwork from the school?

He was offering visas for the students at the school to go and study abroad.

Will Thailand get involved...?  Of course not!  When there's been past armed conflicts and (many) wars, Thailand has never picked sides. Have never sent Military to aid any other country during wars.  Can't even admit or commit to the undeniable fact that Putin/Russia is a barbaric aggressor and totally wrong invading Ukraine.  

Thailand declared war on Germany in 1917 and their troops arrived in France shortly before the Armistice in 1918. After the war Thai troops occupied the town of Neustadt in Germany.

This from another news site: His sister Emmy says that if his insurance company covers the costs, all donations will be refunded.

More like Captain Titanic for this lady.

let them keep the biscuts they are probably starving

Purchasing from them allows them a little dignity and an opportunity for them to buy something more nutritious to eat.

These images should make you mad. They should make you upset, they should make you angry, and they should make you want to take action because the time for inaction is over.

 

Last night, local media showed scenes of people who had passed out and/or died on the streets of Bangkok due to either Covid-19 or because they had been malnourished and without support during the lockdown.  

 

Their bodies were left on the side of the street for hours.

It is very sad. Near the Hindu temple on Silom Road there are very elderly people sat on the pavement selling 5 baht packets of biscuits. My wife and I buy from each one. It is not much but we hope it helps.
