That one strikes a nerve with me.

I was out on Phang An in 2005 it happened to be a full moon. ARRRRGHH!

I was 38 & my daughter was concieved there.

Hillside bungalow looking back towards Samui.

Boats HAULING ASS all night. Daytime too.

Six Swedish tourists died.

Dummy had three outboard engimes on the boat, probably doing 50 knots. the steering cable broke and it capsized....at 55 MPH.

Good news actually.  Most of us older Falang will probably be safe with out filthy low functioning kidneys and fatty deteriorating livers.  Who would want them?

Apparently you are unaware of the health benefits of stewed bats and pickled duck feet.

I walked into a restaurant in Taiwan once & grabbed a tray of Kimchi....Pickled cabbage...not bad.

Actually it was pickled duck feet, and it was REALLY BAD.

I had no fork to stab it with, just chopsticks (couldn't tell it was rubber), and that was probably the most VILE thing my mouth ever tasted.

The warnings are being aimed at the wrong demographics. 

They should be warning tourists of other countries that there are likely to be hordes of Chinese tourists in Thailand.

 

1998 I got a REALLY COOL (and Cute) tour guide-ess from Khon Kaen to show me around. She was registered at the G-Spot in Nana Plaza as an official tour guide (I swear it's the truth Guv'nor!!).

We wound up in Nong Nooch Hardons...err, Gardens and I had my first encounter with a Chinese tour group. They somehow got between me and my tour guide, and I felt like a rugby player trying to get thru that crowd..

I'm glad they didn't have the COVID.. I survived with just several bruised ribs and a bloody nose.

If damage and deterioration can not  be seen with the naked how will it be possible to make a safety inspection?

I did not know that, so that is why they wear rags on their heads.

I think it's more to keep the sun off their noggins, and the sand out of their ears.

I once played the desert golf course in Abu Dhabi. My ears got PACKED full of sand. It's like talcum powder.

I spent about a year in Jakarta in '97 and '98 and got a small taste of what like as a slave to Mo. is like.

 

It's 24/7 oppression, from the moment you are rudely awakened at zero dark thirty until you go to bed at night. Conform or suffer the consequences.

 

Anyone who thinks that Islam is benign has rocks in their head.

I went thru about 8 Ramadan's in the UAE and Kuwait.

It's about as fun as a month-long trip to the dentist every year.

My first thought was that som-tam did him in.
