Not what my reply was about or in reference to. I was simply comparing MG now vs Brit made c r a p. As you state, and thankfully, SAIC bought the name (for easy distribution purposes) and aren't trying to reproduce the failed models of the past. Again.... THANKFULLY Y'all need to get of this nationalistic 'badge' thing, in the new globalization world.

I'd say parental guidance had failed those 2 youngins. Nothing to do with vid games.

They were actually vaccines, and providing quite a bit of immunity. These new things, apparently don't work very well, as don't seem to protected anyone from getting or spreading the virus.

Why would anyone be wearing a mask in most of those photos ? With few exceptions, there nobody near them.

Yes, having enough or even a bit more, or a lot more than needed, if so fortunate, is quite nice. Stress free. Never understood the desire to keep earning after you reach a certain point vs not needing to work. Only thing I wanted to be after joining the 'working class heroes' was retired.

I don't think speephump would be interested ... since made in China.

Not working on all new ones either. Have downloaded BkkBank a couple times on my POCO (Xiaomi) and it c r a p s out shortly after. To the point I don't bother anymore, not that I need it anyway.

I would not let my dog run loose in the forest here. Way too many snakes.

I got a lot more respect for current MGs than I did for Brit made. I would have never considered a Brit made MG back when. Did they offer more than 4 yr warranties when made in the UK ? ???? Definitely didn't offer 7 yrs in the UK. MG only exists today because they are made by China, and not longer a badge of failure ... nuff said

Noticed that, after we bought ours with a 5 yr warranty, they dropped in down a year. Although once back on the road, we'll rack up 100k rather fast.

Maybe where you are, but since a moratorium on harvesting, probably illegal or expensive, and I try not to support such activities, and a bit expensive for OP's coup. I myself would just use PVC or inexpensive steel. Not much teak in KK, as I lived in Udon Thani, and if having, you usually got a visit from PoPo.

Short answer, no or maybe, depending on Imm office / IO, but poor excuse, as a 30 or 45 day window to extend. Might be a good time to use that agent.

So true ... fact checking is a joke, and anything but. "Facebook finally admitted the truth: The “fact checks” that social media use to police what Americans read and watch are just “opinion.” https://nypost.com/2021/12/14/facebook-admits-the-truth-fact-checks-are-really-just-lefty-opinion/

How intelligent people can believe anything in MSM is mind boggling. Nothing but fear monging for their agenda. Prime example: "The Omicron strain of the coronavirus now accounts for more than 73% of new US cases of Covid-19, up from 13% just a week ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported." .... now in the 'echo box' of MSM. Does anyone seriously believe, in a matter of weeks, this is actually true. But you'll all be lining up for your booster, and they'll make billions more. Even though you already have that 'safe & effective' vaccine, first shot, now 2 or 3 shots, and line up for another, to counter the variant that you were already told, 'was mild'. ????

Agree, though I need to access my 'life expectancy' vs 'laziness factor', as 68, and house will be finished beginning of next year, 2 months hopefully. Talked with my long lost cousin the other day, and her father, my cousin is 84, and sharp as a tack & mobile, so I may be around longer than I thought. Turkey & visiting the E. Bloc area has really sparked my interest, and could kill a few years doing that. One of the countries that accepts Thai PP (Turkey). Only issue is having daughter (now self sufficient) & dog here, and more so, my laziness to venture out again. House done, and another trip around this tiny a$$ country, and I may be suicidal afterward. After I kill another year or so here, then see how the 'war on viruses' goes, if they milk that to 'never ending' like drugs & terror. Then the decision is made for me. Being they're making billions $$$ from it, I can't see it ending.

That would have been hard to do, since Bang Sue wasn't completed. I believe the point of the survey is to know if service from Hua Lamphong will be utilized by enough customers to justifying it remaining open. Or will people originate from Bang Sue, as possibly more convenient for customers going long haul. Seems like a practical survey to do before shutting down the terminal. Bang Su isn't the easiest to get to via public trans, or taxi / self drive, if you live closer to the old station or the 1 MRT line that stop there. Especially if you need to change lines with luggage to get to Bang Su, as some of the transfer point involve quite a bit of walking & time. But if you've never used the various lines, you wouldn't know that. Not as quick and convenient as you'd expect.

If it's going to be an ongoing thing, you could buy a shredder/chopper, and probably get a supply of husks from the many coconut farms/processing the nuts out. You'll see piles of the husks when driving the rural roads. Buddy of mine did that with cassava for his dairy cows, as price for chopped cassava was a bit silly, so went the DIY route.

Buying wood .... don't Nothing but termite food.

If you go to your review history, the review shows up, even though you get that msg.

I'm not sure about that, as most 'enlightened' (paper trained or non-diploma'd HiSo), we go by income level ... ???? And of course, taxes paid or avoided. Means 50% of workers / families are low low low class. Middle income earners, whether blue collar (hands on) or white collar (office) ... stupid class. Then there are, HiSo A-holes, that carry all your A$$es ... not sure which are dumber, but we have more toys. ???? Low - both income & tax contribution, bare existence Middle/stupid / blue-white collar - good salaries, tapped out income on loans, healthcre & tax burden. High / ????? - good incomes, and silly taxes at 40ish % (fed/state/local) depending on state lived in, and if having to pay. https://taxfoundation.org/federal-income-tax-data-2021/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAzfuNBhCGARIsAD1nu-9TKYM957dYy3ueQ4GeTG-1FZGWWme9-MRa1g3ILRecG_w0DK6kn0kaAtTOEALw_wcB

LAZ & Shopee's in house search engines are terrible, so also do google, adding lazada.co.th to the mix. If on Amazon, then good for reviews, but not for buying, due to pre-paid shipping/duty cost. priceza is also a good search engine at times, and will bring up both vendors + others. I voted COD only, but on rare unavoidable cases, will pay w/visa, usually AliExpress or if I'm familiar with the vendor. COD has the advantage, so far, as avoiding a customs' duty if coming from overseas. Quite surprised my ebike conversion kit made it through, as both heavy & had accurate declared value on it. Getting the feeling they had a lot of CODs refused due to high duties. ???? Household items, Central online (using 'discount high-low filter) will pull up some bargains, along with HomePro, same items as brick & mortar, but cheaper, and can pick up at local branch if ordered on line, or have delivered.

Maybe ... depending on their alcohol level ... ????

To the thread title ... if you have to ask, you already know the answer.

I disagree with all that followed the 1st line. No good Buddhist would do, allow any of those ... BUT ... hence the problem with all societies, finding good people. Nobody 'allows' it, but it does happen ... worldwide.

Do I ... yes, as I learn the culture of where I'll be and try to respect it. Does the OP ... apparently not. Get the impression it was like two Alphas meeting, and neither wanting to bow to the other. Only thing wrong with that this time, his wife may have got some collateral damage from it. Not cool.
