It's so weird the way that everyone has formed a circle around him.  I wonder how it got that far.

Watch the longer video that I linked. He was carrying on like Russell Crowe in Gladiator: "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?".

That farang was huge and still needed to sucker punch a little guy. Typical farang coward.

A 25% tax on imported beer. Oh, the humanity.

How about some Chatgpt advice: 

Yes, some of these exercises can cause lower back pain if done incorrectly, if you have an existing back issue, or if your core isn't engaged properly. Here's a breakdown:

Lower Risk of Causing Pain (If Done Correctly)

1. Cat-Cow – Generally good for spinal mobility and unlikely to cause pain unless done too aggressively or if you have a herniated disc.

2. Bird Dog – Helps strengthen the core and lower back, but poor form (arching the back too much) can strain the lower back.

3. Pelvic Lifts (Bridges) – Strengthens the glutes and core, but improper form (overextending the lower back) can lead to pain.

4. Planks – Great for core strength, but if your hips sag or you arch your lower back, it can lead to discomfort.

Higher Risk of Causing Pain (If Not Done Carefully)

1. Downward Dog – Can put pressure on the lower back if hamstrings are tight or if you overextend your spine.

2. Frogs – Deep hip stretches can sometimes strain the lower back, especially if your core isn't engaged.

3. Rotate Leg at Hip – If done too forcefully or with bad posture, it may put unnecessary stress on the lower back.

4. Kick Leg Out Extended – If your core isn't engaged, it can cause the lower back to overcompensate, leading to pain.

How to Reduce Risk of Lower Back Pain

• Engage your core in all movements to support the lower back.

• Move slowly and with control rather than relying on momentum.

• Avoid overarching or excessive spinal extension, especially in planks and bridges.

• Modify if needed (e.g., doing bird dog with bent knees or planks on the knees).

Also from Chatgpt: 

Yes, toe touches can cause lower back pain, especially if done incorrectly or if you have preexisting back issues.

Why Toe Touches Can Cause Back Pain

1. Spinal Flexion Strain – Bending forward forcefully can put excessive pressure on the lower back, especially if you round your spine.

2. Tight Hamstrings – If your hamstrings are tight, they can pull on your lower back, making the movement uncomfortable.

3. Overstretching Ligaments & Discs – Repeatedly bending forward can put stress on spinal discs, potentially aggravating bulging or herniated discs.

4. Bouncing (Ballistic Stretching) – If you bounce while trying to reach further, you risk straining your lower back muscles.

How to Reduce Back Pain Risk with Toe Touches

• Keep a neutral spine – Instead of rounding your back, hinge at your hips.

• Bend your knees slightly to reduce strain.

• Engage your core to support your lower back.

• Try alternative stretches like seated forward folds or standing hamstring stretches with one foot elevated.

If toe touches cause discomfort, it's a sign your lower back may not tolerate the movement well, and modifications or alternative stretches may be better.

I myself switched from doing crunches and leg lifts to just planks. No more back pain.

I am outraged that Chinese got 90 days and we have 60.

What circle of Chinese can afford 90 days on holiday from savings/funds?

China is #2 in number of US dollar millionaires.

I say let the Brits into Thailand but they have to leave their drugs at passport control.

I'm guessing...   some snide remark from one to anther, a reply... then an issue went from zero to incendiary in seconds with a 10 on one beating... 

 

I've seen it enough times in these area's the 'some of these MC guys are looking for a trigger'...  just waiting sometimes.... 

 

 

A mate was beaten up...   he walked past a group on a corner... he was drunk...    the MC guys if he asked if he wanted an MC... he replied....     "No thanks"....    they shouted back at him something about being a no good foreigner...      he told them to "F-off"... and that was all it took, they set about him....      

... His mistake, no just walking past them completely ignoring any attempted 'trigger'.... 

 

I've heard similar stories a few times.... 

 

 

Meanwhile...  in other area's these Win-rider guys can be quite helpful and run out and do errands for you...  

 

It just depends where you are - and the guys working in Pattaya and Patong at 4am are not right guys to be having any form of interaction with at all... none-whatsoever...    they are 'hand-grenades on a hair trigger'...  

 

 

 

When I was taking a tour in Vietnam, my guide brought this up to the group. Vietnamese might not know a lot of English but they do know the word "f**k". You could say something about the "f**king" heat and things might pop off. I guess it is so common that my guide had to bring it up. 🤣

No, he has the privilege of paying more money now.

Why is the taxi driver wai-ing to the farang's titty?

Hmm, I'm on the lookout for some good moussaka.
