    Tapioca is carb and it matters not whether the carb is from grain or anything else. In fact it is worse than grain because it is a simple carb. The more simple molecule the quicker it raises blood sugar as it is absorbed quicker. 

    Yes.  But tapioca is not a grain.  And I have prostate problems.  That is the main reason for ditching bread.  But why I was at it I ditched sugar, white rice, cakes and pastries, batter et al while I was at it.

    I know there are some here and there, I think one works in our local Tesco Customer service desk and I have seen one running a telephone shop locally. But when you consider the amount of ladyboys, like those 30-40 shown in the Pattaya cop shop recently, the number of "young" ladyboys compared to those that are visible later in life is a huge difference, in my opinion.

     

    Do you think they give it up, revert back to being a guy ? All those "show girls and beauty pageant entries,where do they go. yes a very few are on TV, there always a token "gatoey" in most Thai soaps, but again, the numbers generally just dont add up.

     

     

    They are all shacked up with Teerak abroad.  Just a smattering of older ugly ones in the villages that are still left on the shelf.

    I remember reading the news a couple years ago, when last time they established a bus service. The bus drivers were beaten up by the thugs, which ended the bus service very quickly. I presume that this was not just a protest, but also a 'warning' to any potential drivers...

     

    You forgot, they also like to smash the windscreen and windows of the bus while passengers are still aboard.

  5. I ditched all simple carbs including white bread about 3 months ago.

     

    Best decsion I ever made.

     

    I have lost close to 10kg and have much clearer mental acuity.

     

    I miss having avocados on toast, but now I just buy those tapioca based prawn chips and fry them up in cold pressed coconut oil to eat with caucomoli.  Turns out it was not the toast I missed so much as the crunchy texture.

     

    Tapioca is still a carb but it is not a grain and also not properly classed as a simple carb.

  6. I have been saying for nearly two decades that Phuket will get Thailand's first casino.  I will go in the hotel on the mountain at the top end of Nai Harn beach.  Easy to seal it off for security and lots of parking.

     

    They have to focus on gambling now that the natural environment is totally destroyed and the ocean water is toxic due to the faecal coliform counts.

     

    Government is broke and money for the trough has to come from somewhere.  Taxes from gambling are needed to buy more swill.

  7. Can anyone provide me with the link to the (actual) online driving test for Thailand.

     

    I have to renew my bike and car licences next month.

     

    I did an online search and found numerous sites.  Not sure which one is the real deal.

     

    I have a five year licence.

     

    Some other questions if anyone wants to help me save some time also:

     

    1. How early ( and late) after the expiry date can you renew?

    2. When doing the online test, can you just redo the questions you got wrong until you pass?

    3. What shelf life is on the online test (and you medical certificate)  For example, could I do the test now and the QR code would still be valid next month.

    4.  What documents are now required for a 5 year renewal.

    5.  Do I just need one test QR code to renew both my bike and car licences.

     

    Thanks for you help.

    You might have done yourself a favour.

     

    Examine many of the recent threads and it starts to look like a data mining/profile building operation.

    Ironic really.

     

    The bulk of new posts and threads by actual members living in Thailand nowadays are mostly about fake members and the content they post on this forum.
