    Coffee

    I stumbled upon this place in mae fahluang. I have him send me the premium dark and pea berry, I blend the dark 70% pea berry 30%, very smooth low acidity, the best coffee I’ve found yet.
  3. Isn’t it required to have $20,000 Covid insurance to enter Malaysia?
  4. …and murder. I’ve at least two reports on Amerin in the last year. My wife says there are a lot of fake and crooked monks.
  5. If you plan on driving a motorcycle and have a motorcycle endorsement on your idp and drivers license then it will be a lot easier. I did not have a motorcycle endorsement and I wanted both a driver license and motorcycle license so I went to CM Driving School in saraphi took a 3 day course for the motorcycle since I didn’t have an endorsement. And a for the car license I watched a 45 minute video, that was it for the car license.. They made sure all the paper work (certificate of residence, passport, idp including valid drivers license from my country, health certificate…anything else?? can’t remember) was in order before I went to the dlt in hangdong, the school changed me about 1000 or 2000฿? I don’t remember how much I paid it wasn’t much. Can’t remember what dlt charged me, it was a nominal amount, 200฿ for both?, it was a slow time of day there and I was out of there in about 20 minutes. Without a valid drivers license including idp then you’ll have to go through the entire routine.
  6. For sure, talk with some of the older folks. Hopefully someone will give you a good lead
  7. I’ve personally never have had issues with with village workers. My experience has always been good, maybe because I supervise the projects and know a few solid workers. I keep it to two or three workers. I’m not going to go into detail of how to deal with the locals, though it’s always good to be firm yet polite with them, it will go a long way especially if you find a good crew. Though I’m sure crappy workers can found everywhere on the planet at the same ratio as anywhere
  8. There’s a lot of good multi trade tradesmen. If you’re in the city and want a good price, then you’re best bet would be to find someone in a village outside of the city. Show him what you want, hop in the truck with him and get the supplies. Sit and watch them work and have buy them lunch, and beer whiskey and munchies for them every day after work. Average 500฿ a day per person
  9. Degenerative brain damage is the issue. I can’t really sympathize with debased weak mindedness, just can’t relate, sorry
  10. Good grief, some here only chime in to insult. It’s indicative of the measure of lack of one’s intelligence. I suppose some are so unhappy with life they only find joy by coming here and putting others down.
  11. Hopefully he’ll keep his promise and not light up it up again
  12. The problem with most sex offenders, especially child violators is that they have the propensity to continue violating victims after they’re released from incarceration. So it’s imperative to be 100% sure that the accused is a perpetrator. So yes, the perpetrators need severe punishment for disrupting and destroying a persons life for a selfish act
  13. No, it should be done publicly on a tamarind chopping block
  14. Being under pressure is where one’s character is tested. So is the argument here is that he lost his composure in a foreign land? Good grief! I sure hope I don’t lose it here
  15. What people? The people on this thread or Thais? It doesn’t change my perception because Mr Pumpkin never took the time to talk to older folks and get to know the general and local culture of the people whose families have for the most part been in their local region for 2000 years. If he took the time I’m sure he wouldn’t have done this. We gain no insight being presumptuous about any culture that differs from our own. So many blow in the country and never take the time, even after many years. And what does her village and family think? I’m pretty sure it’s ควาย! Next time you hear a Thai say’s that foreigners are “funny” take a moment and think what might really be behind that statement
  16. I have known a lot of Chinese nationals, most are unable to comprehend a defiance of the formed/trained submissive allegiance that’s been ironed in since birth. That’s the order of communist regimes, much like what’s currently being worked on in the US
  17. Because it’s poison? Too much make’s one stupid maybe? I don’t touch the stuff either. Why? Because it’s POISON! for me anyway. I can’t speak for anyone else though
  18. Is she happy that now that he made her and her family a spectacle in her village? I strongly doubt it. Even if they live 500 kilometers from her home it’s a big eyesore. I’m sure the reverberations of the word ควาย won’t stop bouncing around in his cranial walls for a long time
  19. …I’m sure his wife and her family is probably embarrassed. If I did such a foolish exercise I’d never hear the end of it…Why you do like dhat ahh! ควาย!
  20. Exactly, a stupid notion on his part. Id like to see him try that bleeding heart exercise in China…he’d just simply disappear
