  1. Done that, got the T shirt. Passed the infra and climate change bill, actually sent lots of weapons to Ukraine, addressed the high cost of gasoline, restarted the US involvement in the IPCC, fought the supreme court on climate change and called out violent seditionists. There's more but you'd get bored reading them.
  2. You think people with certain genes are more violent than others? There's a reason this thread should be closed and this is it.
  3. The finest example is Ankhor Wat and environs but the khlongs in Bangkok are extensive as well.
  4. They can't learn from the experience they gained by having to wear the masks for 2 years and actually having them to hand now?
  5. There has been no shortage of cherry picking going on in this thread. The surest sign somebody doesn't know and when the opponent is absolutely wrong is when they announce it.
  6. I already said it was not from "a credible news media source or a government agency".
  7. "green agenda" That sounds worse than monkeypox. If only we knew what it was but you just threw the phrase out there as a smear without bothering with an explanation of what it meant except for being word salad.
  8. He had a bit of a leg up, like Barr lying to justify letting him off the hook in the Mueller investigation. There was a thread about this recently so I don;t think I need to post another link
  9. Thais and the Khmers were world leaders in urban drainage and irrigation for centuries. The xenophobic notion that they are behind the curve really isn't true. All they lack is the GDP of more developed nations.
  10. 4 vaccinations, 1 AZ, 1 Pfizer, 2 Moderna then got covid19 immediately after arrival in Pattaya after a visit to walking street. Nasty symptoms including coughing blood for a month or more, not requiring hospitalisation.
  11. He wasn't in power long enough. He would have done the infrastructure deal if he was in longer. After another tax cut.
  12. Then there's this: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/
  13. You haven't posted any racial hate crimes perpetrated by whites. Why is that? There must be similar cctv video. Maybe you should turn your attention to understanding the nature of immigrant crime and consider what possible solutions might be. hint: Most of it is about the constant and persistent hatred they endure from the majority white population and the concommitant lack of opportunity. None of it is genetic.
  14. Hard to tell. All I'm saying is that it must have been long ago. Maybe they did widen it sometime but I've never heard stories of it happening. I came here many times in the 80's then there was a period of 24 years that I never came to Pattaya from the 90's until about 5 or 6 years ago. The road seems the same now as then. Maybe the walking promenade was widened but I doubt much more than that, it seems the same only better paved. None of the area inland from that road was reclaimed. Lots are routinely built up but that's not reclaimed.
  15. They weren't. I looked in many of them this morning. They were mainly empty. There was some rubbish but most of it obviously flows out to sea.
  16. They haven't reclaimed any of Beach Rd since the early 80's that I can say for sure. I have seen photos of it in the sixties and it looked the same then too. Undeveloped areas like between soi honey and beach road were mainly old coconut plantations then so they hadn't been reclaimed in many years. I do recall new ground in a beer bar area just north of Pattaya North Rd was was the northern perimeter of Pattaya back then. The main bus station was also at the junction of Road 2 and P North then. Jomtien was all tidal salt flats then except for a hotel each end.
  17. well, that's where they got the idea then.
  18. No. Unless it was before WW2. I can't imagine why they'd want to reclaim 2 miles along a beach to build a road.
  19. Which exact prediction that Powell made came true? All you've got is some racist blame game and you tie that to the words of a racist who was given the rocket before you were born.
  20. all I can say is the major drainage works they just completed are not and can't be ineffectual. That some old bar areas flood temporarily is not surprise. They were built on old tidal floodplains, as was the whole length of Jomtien.
  21. There's been a lot of work done on drainage in the last three years.
  22. Yes, I do. It was a large engineering project that took about 2 years to complete. These drains aren't going to be dug up for a long time. It's a long term solution.
