Where to Buy US Size 14 (UK 13) Running Shoes in Chiang Mai?
G Rex replied to falangUK's topic in Chiang Mai
Thanks for this info , but I always specifically look for Asics shoes, because they are the only brand I have found that are kind to my dodgy feet! Back in the day, Brooks were good too. -
Where to Buy US Size 14 (UK 13) Running Shoes in Chiang Mai?
G Rex replied to falangUK's topic in Chiang Mai
I buy my size 13 Asics shoes on-line from the Asics Thailand store. Very limited options for sizes above US size 10 - but there are some there. I have found NO regular sports stores, smaller private jobs or the stores at Robinsons or Central that have 13s in stock! -

Things change! 12-14 years ago the Aussie was up to $1.12US , now only just over half that.. The AUD is a small player in financial markets. -
Report Thailand’s Car Market Faces Turbulence Amid Dealer Closures
G Rex replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
No . I am referring to Ford F150 trucks , which are made in thew USA, not the Thai produced Ford Ranger. I have no idea what the F150 company that you are referring to is. -
Report Thailand’s Car Market Faces Turbulence Amid Dealer Closures
G Rex replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Ummmm Yes. There is no car production in Australia now, aside from a few companies doing LHD to RHD conversions on US trucks like Dodge Ram, Chev Silverado anf Ford F150s. -
The whole "Sorry" movement is part of the reason why I left Australia. The 'Welcome to Country' , the handouts, the reverse racism has got out of hand. I lived in rural areas, where I saw first hand, the Aboriginal 'issues'. The law-makers are generally City dwellers - many of whom have probably never met an Aboriginal. It is part of the whole "Green Feel-Good" movement. This 'unbiased' Aboriginal enquiry was always going to come up with results like this. I am surprised that the population of Aboriginals only dropped by 75%. Through history, when Europeans invaded new countries, disease alone would generally annihilate up to 90% of the local immunologically naiive population.

No answer for you - but I have had the same for about 2 months. Just my left one. I thought it was from friction from some of my t-shirts. Cortisone cream will calm it down - but it returns after a day or 2. Curious and curioser!

Hmmmm…. They were going to take on the Thai Military with their 3 air rifles fitted with silencers. 3500 pellets ready to go! 55555 over-reaction? You think?? -
New footage shows Brit strolling out of air crash.
G Rex replied to MalcolmB's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I’m not biting on this British/Indian bickering! This crash survival scenario reminds me of the Bruce Willis/Samuel L Jackson film “Unbreakable” -
Report Drive Drunk, Lose Your Car: Thailand’s OAG Pushes Tough New Proposal
G Rex replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Definitely would be a step in the right direction - but alas - I fear this is just more hot air. BTW - how is the mandatory child seats in cars going? I have not seen a single child restraint seat in a vehicle in the Kanchanaburi area . The reluctance to wear seat belts is another issue here.... -
Tinnies Pies in Jomtien make decent Aussie style beef, lamb or pork sausages.

There is almost NO police presence on the roads. Until that changes - nothing will change here. In my area , the police drive 10-15 year old decrepit Isuzu utes, so they cannot apprehend wrong doers anyway! The only ‘law enforcement’ I have seen, has been from speed or red-light cameras. (-and it appears that many people ignore these too)

last month I sent a small package from Kanchanaburi to Germany. it was tracked all the way, taking 2 days to get to Suvarnabhumi Airport - then no data for 9 days, until it arrived in Germany, followed by detailed tracking until it was delivered 2 days later. I assumed it had a short Euro holiday stopover - lol

The cattle in Thailand are Bos indicus species - ie Brahman type cattle. These breeds are better adapted to hot tropical conditions. The good cattle (I am very biased here - like hereford and angus) are Bos taurus species. They are suited to more temperate climates and cannot cope with tropical conditions. Dairy cattle require great nutrition to produce milk - so are found in areas of more guaranteed food supply - eg Chiang Mai or Prachuap Kiri Khan.

Come on now Bob , surely it's not that bad?

Accident Thailand's Grim Motorcycle Death Toll Sparks Helmet Campaign
G Rex replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I live in rural Kanchanaburi. Driving into the city on Wednesday this week, I was amazed to see that at least 3/4 of riders WERE WEARING helmets. Maybe the message is getting through? Most of the riders not wearing lids were school kids (who don't have a licence ....(and probably no insurance either) ). Out in the sticks, where I am, nothing changes.
