Mr Meeseeks

Vulnerable, not stupid. Quite a few of Bangkok's most prominent bars in were built with money stolen from British and Australian pensioners.

The despicable dictator Hun Sen allowed and profited from this happening. Sihanoukville has been completely destroyed by Chinese colonisation.

So the Thai Police are qualified incident investigators? ???? I'm dubious that they hold recognised qualifications such as Kelvin Topset etc. As they evidently cannot deduce the causes of road traffic accidents, I very much doubt they are competent to handle something of this magnitude. My opinion only. Happy to be proved wrong.

Why are the Police doing the incident investigation and not qualified and experienced HSE accident investigators?

Wishful thinking I am afraid. I heard exactly the same sentiments from Thais and foreigners when Thaksin came to power in 2001.

Suthep and Prayuth conspired since 2010 to remove the elected government and engineer the situation to justify a coup (not that coups are ever justified).

This is also the way Thais operate in business.

Don't want to incriminate themselves. Hoping it will quietly go away. I recently dealt with a situation like this, won't go into details, but when I made my move there was complete silence from the other parties involved. Not unexpected, it takes honesty and courage to be a man. You would hope they would feel a sense of shame, but I doubt they are thinking about anything other than saving their own skin.

To Thai top management, that is health and safety. All show and no go. All mouth and no trousers. As I have stated numerous times before, health and safety is a hindrance to earning profits in Thailand and thus is ignored, dismissed out of hand or treated as a secondary concern. If there are health and safety systems in place they are often impeded by poor management and supervision, incompetence, arrogance, and laziness. I've seen it first hand at a number of Thai companies. Top management telling field supervisors that they know better even though they don't have any experience of health and safety at any level. Thailand has to get serious about health and safety and start properly punishing companies that are negligent. In the UK the HSE would be all over this with millions of Pounds of fines and charges of corporate manslaughter.

Trustworthy guys, Thai lawyers. Especially in Pattaya.

Yet you judge an entire segment of Thai people working in that industry? Ok then. In my 33 years of experience, those are the nicest Thai people that there are. Genuine people just trying to make a living. It's the ones with ambition, money, and connections that I have dealt with over the years, especially those in officialdom, that are the real danger.

Corruption of the RTP is not an urban myth. It's endemic throughout the force.

Why would mafia officials who are looking to skim money care about the community?

Several of the bars are owned by the Police.

They are but the rest of the bars, clientele, and attitude of the staff puts me off going these days.

Kiwi Resource Protection near Ban Chang also do fire extinguisher refills.

Not surprising. When I went for offshore fire team training in Laem Chabang back in 2016, one of the other guys on the course spotted the fire extinguishers at the accommodation building we were staying in had not been checked for six months! To be honest you would have been better off throwing the extinguisher at the fire, given the state of it. This is an internationally approved training centre btw. ????

Colour of his skin most likely.

He was Russian, likely being drafted, going to Ukraine and facing US cluster munitions at the front.

I find it difficult to believe they will get enough senators to vote for Pita, but stranger things have happened. If Pita becomes PM the tanks will be getting fuelled up. Such disobedience from the hand picked senators will come at a price, and they know it too.

The aircon gets lowered from 25°C to 23°C I also water with ice the last couple of days. ????

Fugue State also by Mephisto. This auto grew about 1.4m in height and was bigger than most of the photos I was growing at the same time. Beautiful purple colours as you can see. No filters have been applied to these photos. All taken with my Sony a6600 and 7Artisans f2.8 60mm macro lens.

Ravenberry by Mephisto Genetics on day 79. It was chopped the same day. Insane berry terps and sticky af. Mephisto's autos are right up there with some of the best photos as far as flavour and bag appeal imo.

I flush my plants that are in coco and perlite for about 10 days before harvest. The plants have enough nutrients in them to finish themselves off. They will often exhibit a more dramatic colour change in late flower that will make some beautiful buds. I find the end product is a smoother smoke as well.

I'm just glad we were able to experience it.
