Still in the top 10

Percentage wise....Top 5

I spent 3 months hydro testing the boilers and pipework on one of these facilities a couple of years ago.

Very clever use of waste and the bonus is the rubbish doesn't end up in landfills

Great idea until an F1 car meets a soi dog at 300kmh

I always return to the UK before it gets into the 40's but i have experienced 45 degrees in the Sahara with boots,gloves,hard hat & coveralls on.

Fortunately the Sahara is a dry heat, no humidity.

I can imagine how unpleasant 43 degrees with high humidity is for everyone still in Thailand.

Thought it would be a warm year when we hit 38 on the first day of summer in Petchaburi

It is already illegal to sell weed with more than 0.2% THC, has been since it was decrim'd a couple of years ago. They were very clear about that. Those that invested heavily in bud that was illegal to sell for recreational use are now whining that they are going to lose money

Recently had a couple very pleasant conversations with a middle aged Chinese tourist staying in the same hotel .

he spoke English very well but showed a degree of limited vocabulary . However he did express disappointment in the current "mood" in mainland China . But nothing about him suggested any "devious/ deviant" motives  as suggested by many Chinaphobes . Certainly no more so than the devious/deviants of any other nationality so prolific in Thailand already.

Spend some time around the pigs and then come back and tell us about it

Lotteries are for mugs

I was fooled into clicking on a Thaiger article 😐

Too many foreign financed "hubs" at risk if the labour costs rise

this old chestnut eh. 

 

pm2.5 is a far greater risk to thai children than cannabis can or ever will be. prove me wrong. 

Let's not forget that every puff on a joint or pipe introduces concentrated PM2.5 directly into the lungs.

It is not as harmless as some claim but in my opinion far less damaging to society and the users body than alcohol.

20,000 mAh is usually the limit

Good, don't be taken in by their bull. He was an occupational therapist (OT) and knows all of this, they specialise in assessing for home and mobility adaptations and recommend them for patients to the relevant authority to provide them for free. I am disabled so I know a bit about this. This Gofundme scam  is aimed directly at people like yourself and able bodied UK citizens who don't know how the UK social care system works. There is also 'Carer's Allowance' which effectively gives his full time carer (wife or other family member) a salary because it's cheaper than him going into a nursing home. The NHS also supplies the wheelchair. There is also a scheme where he can be supplied with an adapted car if he gives the money from the mobility component of his Disability Living Allowance (DLA) as rental. It can take a little time for everything to be put in place but all monies are backdated to the date of submission of the claim. Plus if he was employed by the NHS or the local authority (as most OT's are) he will receive a generous lump sum payment and a disability retirement pension.

Not sure if a working guy with his own home and savings would qualify for all you mention.

Yes,a registered disabled person on benifits with no savings would get everything for free including a suitably adapted home to live in. Having a certain amount of "assests and savings" would exclude him from most help although i am unsure of the savings amount.

Look at what happens to elderly property owners that have paid into the system all their life,if they require care home help they are expected to sell their property to pay for the care home bills.

That is odd, as my own intl driving license issued in Norway has an A1 coverage, A1 being up to 125cc for 16 yo's.

 

 

That literally means the majority of Brits(and who knows who else) are driving around practically uninsured while on holiday

I mean, they could ride around on 50cc's, but I think that's unlikely.

 

 

This is the reason i recently took my A2 licence in the UK so that i am legally covered to ride my Xmax 300 over here, even though my Thai licence is for any size bike.

Insurance companies are legalised thieves.
