Fat is a type of crazy

As has been explained the calculations are based on trade imbalances not tariffs or other trade restrictions. Say Cote Divoire sells a bit more to the US in goods than US sells to Cote Divoire - then Trump is saying that to balance it out he charges them a tariff based on half of the percentage imbalance. Could be because people in the US like chocolate - cocao beans don't grow in the United States. To calculate the balance he leaves out services - banking, netflix, youtube, facebook, all not included which would in many cases balance it out. Why should Cote D'ivoire be penalised for selling stuff to US if they buy less? Is it be a bad thing for one country to sell more to the other country? Why should the figures for trade be the same? The 10 per cent tariffs are mainly where the US in fact sells more to the country e.g. Australia. Once again not taking into account services which would make it even more one sided. Not sure how the logic works that 10 per cent should apply - they come up with fake issues for those countries by looking at individual items e.g. Australian limits US beef for reasonable reasons and has special rules for medicine that make it cheaper - rules that Trump supporters would love in their own country . The only logic is that Trump is using America's power to force other countries to make further concessions to trade. Bully them into submission. But the figures above are not based on calculations that make sense.

Copacabana seems to tick a lot more boxes. Can be same price for a month.

He said the trip itself might take 5 hours to get to the airport. Thought it might be busy at first - maybe some people going back to Bangkok after the weekend - but haven't been in Thailand at that time so maybe there is crazy traffic at that time.

A taxi driver said I should allow up to 5 hours to go from Jomtiem to Suvarnabhumi on the afternoon of Sunday 13 April. Not sure if that is a fair comment or over the top.

Was taken to a Pattaya one today. 349 one person pork fish chicken and salad bar for 349 baht. Second person 1 baht. Not bad. Kind of like a breakfast salad buffet at a hotel.

Didn't the Laotian government poke their heads into your hobby radio thing. To the point you had to leave. Would there be an issue in Australia. Of course not.

Condos for Na Jomtiem - I am not that familiar with them but a search on AirBnB brings up beach front ones that it seems can be booked by the week.

There are ones in Pattaya like the Palm Wongamat that are right on the beach and can be booked weekly on AirBnB - it's not a good beach for swimming but looks nice and has nice pools. Na Jomtiem has a fair few options right on the beach. Jomtiem too if you don't mind crossing Beach road . Koh Chang has the following fairly affordable nice options - depending on season: KC Grande - 4 star - rooms on beach much better than hillside Kacha - 3 star - fair cost and hillside rooms not bad Sylvan - 4 star - beautiful set in forest and right on beach Rooms all have amazing outlook. Recommend beach front rooms. Bhumiyama Plus - right on beautiful Lonely beach - has been fixed up after being a bit run down for some time

The trick is how to make it fun. Keep it to 2 or 3 months at a time. Stay at a nice Condo to make it fun. Mix a bit - went to fun concert on Jomtiem beach last night - 1000's of happy thais singing a long to Toon. Stay somewhere natural too - Koh Chang or something. Find a nice lady to share your time who can accommodate and is happy with what you want which may be time alone and with her. The exchange rate does suck though but why did you save all that super - for what.

My pile of what's left for rest of Thailand holiday brought from Australia due to half cost of here.

To me he was. His albums from Dirty Mind to Love Sexy were pretty magical and special. Next few ok too before he got a bit rote and boring . Could wax lyrical about them individually but up to you to have a look if interested. Good live too.

Left Phuket yesterday. Mai Khao beach. No jet skis or rubbish on beach. Nice beach, restaurants, people. Almost all tourists seemed to be Russian which was a bit odd. Do svidaniya.
