    "You can't park there"

     

    "Why not"?

     

    Bang! bang! bang!

    I inadertently parked my truck in a taxi zone onve in Pattaya.

     

    New parking area/new Mall. Sorry Bro, the paint on your Taxi space marking it out is barely dry.

     

    Had about 6 of them ready to drag me to the nearest tree.

     

    100 percent innocent mistake. They wanted to roll in the dirt over it!

     

    I dearly love Thailand. I thought driving on the wrong side of the road was (and it is) a special skill.

     

    I will never attempt to drive in Thailand again. Taxi;s only. Thank God I smoke Marlboros & don''t vape.

     

    I'm too old and too fat. I hit 179 lbs recently.

  2. It's all in the whistle.

     

    Home-skillet blew 17 times..

     

    Dead guy apparently did not hear the 18th toot.

    I was meeting a friend for dinner once off Ramgsit Road. I got there a bit early. they had about an acre of open parking space.

     

    My Nissan king cab truck was the ONLY vehicle in the lot. Nothing else except for the giant potted plant, that he kept blasting on his whistle for me to get closer to.

     

    I "accidentally" popped the clutch and smashed it. 

    "Lo so coon na kap"

     

    The look on his face was priceless.

    You also have to look at the bigger picture, which is that 80% of the buildings don't respect the rules and the authorities let it happen, as long as they get their share of the cake. Very often you can see buildings built directly on the roadside, despite the 2-metre rules..., and stands encroaching directly on the rad
    The result is that the roads cannot adapt. Such situations happen everywhere, every day

    And they have a poodle, who yaps at the soidogs ALL NIGHT LONG/

    Looks like a compressor stall

     

    Happened to me one time on a flight back from Sanaa to Sharjah on Yemen airways, on an old 727,  pilot ignored it and just flew on with it banging all the way back to Sharjah

     

    I was seated right at the back of the aircraft right under that third engine that the 727 has

    Good old Sana'a. Brings back memories.

    I know a lot of Americans who think of themselves as well-traveled.

    A lot of them stay in American chain motels in the cities they visit and go on guided tours to see the sights.

    So they have experienced Hiltons around the world and carefully curated tour experiences; often shopping oriented.

    They do kind of isolate themselves from experiencing the places they visit.

    Thise of who do not, get censored and ghosted.

    Bit of a silly comparison.

    A restaurant table does not have storms throwing rubbish and seaweed onto it at high tide. ????

    It does however, have people that use it all the time.

     

    I was sitting on Jomtien Beach near Pattaya once and saw the locals tossing plastic and styrofoam down, and just walked away.

     

    I picked up after them.

     

    A BIB (cop) came by later and thanked me as I was about done.

     

    The Gulf of Siam is not the Straights of Gibraltar the Straights of Hormuz.

     

    No major shipping is forced into it. 99.9999% of the garbage comes from local fishing boats & ferries.

    Bayer?  The same ones who introduced heroin as a pain reliever and cough suppressant in 1898?  "Better living through chemistry" ...

     

    Actually it may have been this:  A Japanese chemist first synthesized methamphetamine—also called meth, crank, crystal meth or speed—from another stimulant in 1893.  https://www.history.com/topics/crime/history-of-meth

    Cannot argue. Cocaince used to be in Coca-cola.

     

    Just wonding why meth has become an epidemic over the past couple decades?

    German scientists invented it, pre WW2. Standard issue in soldiers' kits, it's what made the Blitzkrieg  so effective

    Yes, I have heard that, now that you mention it.

     

    What ever happened to the good old days of hashish and the Hasshashiin (assasin) 0800 years ago?

     

    Blame meth on Hitler I reckon. One truly evil person that surely does have a special place in hell.
