Will B Good

The boys are on their way......Hua Hin here we come.

Even "maybe the term"....555

Maybe the term......"beyond all reasonable doubt" ......added to their finding would carry some weight and be convincing for many people.

She who must be obeyed says this is a regular event. The upper echelons see big money being made, but their share isn't reaching them. There is a big purge (good optics), cops are moved out and more subservient ones installed who make sure the funds go to the 'right' people.

Just the consequences of a free market economy where supply is structured to meet demand I guess. If the supply or the demand is missing nothing is going to happen.

Mid February, the 'mountains' around us disappear from view. The difference in the view between then and say September is staggering. I am 99% convinced Thais see this smog and believe it is in the distance, not a clue they are actually living it.

In the absence of my restraining influence in life, the wife, I would find it impossible to resist going in all guns blazing.

A few people have had similar thoughts....but as someone mentioned, if he is happy with his lot, all he has to do is cover his costs and be able to buy food and he can just stay where he is!!!

To be honest those thoughts have slowly formed over the last few days. Sad to be in this position and for what?.....a total moron with no empathy.

Already had that conversation.....and it is genuinely on the cards. She has another plot of about 20 rai, but there are no services and unlikely to be for a couple of years. If I had my way I would stop this build and wait for the other plot to become viable.

Number 1 is not a good start for the UK. "The Saj" indicated 100,000 new infections per day, possibly, this winter.

Sometimes you need to bump up a curb.

You have to feel for the police....on one hand they are trying screw as much money as possible out of the bar owners and on the other you have officialdom telling them to do their job properly. That is a recipe for stress.

Why do people complain about the AQ? The situation is being monitored very closely and it has been for years.

Sorry, haven't read the thread, but "cost effective" and "new" ???? I know the market is different here , but in the UK a three year old model, below average milage and full warranty for x years would be the way to go.

If you make a will leaving everything to your wife....who then becomes your ex.......what is to stop you disinheriting her by writing a new will? Not a situation I am in.....it is just something that has crossed my mind before.

I suppose in one respect it ensures a regulated market......or.......a massive price fixing cartel. But I would agree, they are pretty much bound by the published daily rates.

I am not even visiting the site now....keeping well out of the way......the less I am involved the better for all concerned.

Plus the police will want to keep on top of it to ensure their PG Tips money keeps rolling in.

Happy to pay a little extra for special favors.....555

Between the two I would rather pay the police so he didn't benefit in any way.

Then his mate opens across the road and demands the same!! It seems we are shafted unless something out of the blue turns up (not a gang from BKK)

Tempting....but we have a lot to lose and he has a ramshackle shed and a sound system. If things went pear shaped we could find ourselves living in constant fear.

Yes...the general thinking is that could be a ploy to squeeze some money out of us.

Looking at every option under the sun. Why there? Someone pointed out he only has to make enough to pay the electricity bill and buy food.......why bust a gut?
