  1. Last year I went to Issan - Sakhon Nahkon with my GF.  The same van was used for our trips around that province and, as someone who is used to crazy driving in America, I can assure you that I was scared <deleted>less for my life.  The driver had a beer in his compartment and was zig and zag around traffic.

     

    I can understand why a tragedy like this would occur.

  2. Pattaya is fine.  I  live here and it will take time to get back to pre-Covid.  Folks are working again, families are eating and that is a plus compared to what these folks had to go through.  Yes, there are many bars opened and not enough foot traffic to fill every bar, but such is life.  The market will determine who survives.  

     

    I can assure you that WS is alive and well and folks (tourists) come there every night to walk, have fun and eat.  Go into most Go Gos and you  will see  Mongers spending money and having fun.  Go to the large clubs like Republic, Myst, etc and you  will see many folks having fun.

     

    It  is not for everyone, but there is a reason why people come back.

    1.  Americans listen to the Brits CRY all day about Germany, so we bail out their weak country and own them financially.

    Yes, Brexit was moronic. You owning the Brits. I'm sure they beg to differ.

     

    2.  All movies are Americans

    No, they're not. Ever heard of Bollywood? BTW, are you actually bragging about Hollywood?? I thought you MAGA guys hated that??

     

    3. All music is American

    No, it's not. Ever heard of ABBA, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, Adele etc etc etc etc?

     

    4.  Best schools, America

    Some of the best schools, certainly not all of them.

     

    5. Strongest Military

    True, yet the only developed nation unable to offer universal healthcare to its citizens.

     

    6. Best Athletes (Top 1%, Olympics, etc......usually American).

    That's just rubbish.

     

    7.  Most expensive everything

    Again, rubbish. BTW, I don't get it. Is that a good thing??

     

    8. Lives in a place that's massive, can see mountains, beaches, whatever......all in America

    WOW. Mountains, beaches and whatever, all in one place - unique!!

     

    9.  100 million people apply to live there every year

    Good for you, you should let them all in.

     

    10.  The ONLY country that can save Ukraine

    Well done. Going from a criminal president who tried to blackmail Ukraine to one that's actually willing to help is a great step forward!:thumbsup:

     

    11.  The ONLY country that can solve world hunger

    Rubbish. I must say you post a lot of factually incorrect statements. Is it ignorance?

     

    12.  The ONLY country that every other country listens to, worships, and is afraid of.

    Listens to? Yes. Worship and fear? Not so much. For instance when trump was president the "worship" of the US was limited to the few non-US MAGA crowd. A very small number.

    You actually find time to respond that dude??????  Serious???

    Every American is now Googling Q,E.D.  

    Sorry dude, but I am an American and learnt this from my Chemistry Professor, Dr. Goldwhite back in 1979.

     

    Also, most professors in colleges used that term after finishing a long and complex proof.  I used after spending an hour solving a f&&&&g differential equation....55555

  5. I say I am from California and I am not an <deleted> Blue woke Cali person.  The reason is that whenever I say San Francisco or Silicon Valley, most Thais have no clue, but they all remember California from the song that used to be played 24/7, before the "Zombie" song took over.

    Were you there either? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess no.

     

    Just dull grandstanding over my mildest of jokes. Get a life.

     

    I was pre-teen during that war, but know enough from relatives and friends whose parents served to never comment about the war being a picnic without having real experience.  You were glad to state that Nam was a picnic, but  ran away from the fight.  I made no claims of being there, but I know enough to not call Vietnam a picnic.  Nothing to do with Grandstanding.  You were afraid to fight, hundred of thousands served and were afraid, but did their best.  It was no picnic.  Read the HillFights - first battle of Khe Sahn to learn about the "Picnic" in 1967.
