Power Bank Explosion Causes Panic on AirAsia Flight
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Absolute RUBBISH ! Upon further investigation it may well be found that the item was a Chinese knockoff readily available on the streets of Thailand. Most Quality power banks carry a kite mark denoting it’s from a registered quality producer, my own PB has this mark and I always give it to the security staff to to check it when I go through the X-ray, and it is the first thing they look for, usually those who have inferior products get it confiscated, and rightly so. In my estimation the staff were not on the ball in this case and further training would not go amiss. I always carry a spare phone with me in my iPad bag and a PB beside it and if I should forget to take it out the staff have ALWAYS asked to to see it but ignored the phone, so well trained staff can always tell the difference -

It is called CONTEMPT for all who are / were loyal to them. I fly 4 times each year and used to fly all over the place in domestic but up to now after god knows how many years I do not appear to have accrued enough Airmiles for even a ONE WAY internal flight after spending thousands of GB pounds with them -

Pattaya Motorcyclist Loses Life in Hit and Run Accident
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
What always amazes me is how according to the reporter the VEHICLE always loses control which begs the question what the hell was the driver doing? Surely the vehicle is only doing what a vehicle will do if the DRIVER is not in control. RIP young man. -
Thai emission laws transform: What drivers need to know
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So Thailand just who is going to monitor this and act when a transgression is spotted? I sincerely hope it will not be the likes of the cop who today stood idly by as a pickup up truck driver ran a red light and forced me to stop walking across the marked crossing on the road narrowly missing me, the clown in brown just watched and did nothing, obviously there is absolutely no connection between scratching his a - - and doing what he should have in accordance with the law. So will this new emissions law be implemented ??? Off to 7/11 now to buy more masks. -
Thai food’s bold blend of flavours: A culinary delight with a fatal bite
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes because it was untreated and no attempt made to compost it over time, just dump it and spread it. -
Why is there always one nit picker? We all knew what he was talking about even in this sad time for him. As for the use of him,he,she and her try telling Google translate it can never get it in the right context and if this poster has used this app I can well understand why his use of words were incorrect.

Thai food’s bold blend of flavours: A culinary delight with a fatal bite
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I did not take issue with your post nor did I attempt insult your intelligence I merely pointed out an impression that reading it imparted to me, so perhaps the rereading should be done on your part wherein you will note that I mentioned well rotted manure which in a nit picking exercise means composting, I also mentioned that treated human waste was used up until around the middle 1960’s, what I did not elaborate on was that the ultra violate light used back then to treat it was not sufficient because the depth of the passing gallon rate was higher than the coverage of UVL so it’s use was stopped. I am also very aware of the reasons to compost and the production of natural nitrates, it is also why plants that have finished producing it’s edible part like cabbage and runner beans should never be dug up only cut to the ground because the root structure will be covered in little round balls of natural nitrates which will impart their goodness into the ground as winter progresses and turns into spring ready for crop replanting. Only plants such as potato and tomato ( same family ) should be completely removed from the ground when finished producing and never composted to prevent diseases inherent to those plants so the operative points here are “ Well rotted “ = composting and “ natural production processes “ . I say again I did not take issue with your post and had you read my reply correctly you would have found no reason to take issue with me. End of. -
Thai food’s bold blend of flavours: A culinary delight with a fatal bite
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I maybe wrong but I get the impression from this one statement that you are decrying the use of manure in one’s garden, I have used well rotted horse and cattle manure in my organic garden for the last 70 years trenched in and covered with no health problems ever and just to clarify a point or two, the French being the “ French “ and to a lesser extent the Spanish used human waste for millennia and in some areas still do and that was where the problems of E-coli etc came about. The use of animal manure is documented further back than the Romans and deemed a natural source of fertiliser long before the introduction of CANCER CAUSING CHEMICAL NITRATES, Natural animal manures promote the natural nitrates produced by all plants thereby naturally promoting growth, taste, and vitamins, and is still used by farmers to this day when they go about there business in the spring with a muck spreader on the fields that they use to get milk and fatten their cattle for human consumption. Up until the 1960’s treated human waste was spread on the land by farmers and it was only the discovery of the links between it and bacterial infections that put a stop to its use, but that was human waste left on the land not in it. As for the rest of your post I am fully in agreement with your words and this reply is only a clarification of the points mentioned. -

And the next brake failure news story will be......
Jimjim1 replied to London Lowf's topic in Phuket
I have no intention of quoting you or denying you as you obviously know your stuff, however I was merely quoting from the engineers report as shown to me by my friend and as presented to his insurance company who I believe claimed from the garage’s insurance company for negligent work practice and the cost of a replacement vehicle, his being written off. The report clearly stated that the calipers had not been torqued, his words right or wrong not mine. One can only assume therefore that the use of the word Torque is very much a mute point in this matter. -
Sadly wherever you buy any prepacked food stuffs such as fish and meat there is 99% chance that you will find the same loss in thawed weight, this is because retail frozen food suppliers were given permission to add up to 20% water to these products under the guise of it being needed to ensure 100% freezing throughout the product, however I do not believe they were given permission to add this water content to the overall price at purchase but we all know that compliance is only ever short term and rapidly becomes the accepted norm until somebody manages to complain in the right direction.

Jimjim1 replied to London Lowf's topic in Phuket
He did not say it had fallen off, he said falling off two entirely different things, and he is correct in that the screeching is a precursor to the eventual total destruction of the front or back of the vehicle before it smashes into whatever gets in it’s uncontrolled brakeless way. Also they can come off as a friend found out to the cost of the garage who fitted brand new calipers but did not torque the bolts, luckily for my friend it happened at low speed as he traversed a roundabout. -

Thai student suffers brutal punishment for playing game in computer lab
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
A 12 year old does not understand the difference between right and wrong ! Really ? I do not side with the teacher in any way shape or form and he should be dealt with severely but I do question the way in which the child is being raised, the parents in most countries teach their children this difference right from the start so why are the Thai children different, surely the real failure here lays with the parents. Quite obviously the teacher was never taught it. -
You speak for yourself as I and I suspect many others in here have never been with a bargirl or ever been in a massage parlour nor would I and probably them ever dream of it, my experiences have all come from meeting and making great Thai friends over the last 27 years most of whom are working in highly responsible jobs such as banks, other financial institutions, management positions in the likes of Robinson, and many who run there own very successful businesses, all of them highly respected positions in high end companies, and non of them would ever prostitute themselves. whilst we are on the subject and as you ignorantly put it “ most members here seemingly know only uneducated lower class Thais “ ) I have known a great many who desperately wanted to learn and did all they could at school but were grossly let down by a failed education system overseen by so called teachers and administrators who consider themselves to be educated and beyond reproach, these poor students who may well have come from the villages have come from good solid families and although victims of circumstance have maintained there own personal high standards continuing there lives with true honesty and integrity. How dare you have the gall to insult me, the members here and the vast majority of Thais with your jaded views, I am so glad that I do not live under your particular cloud.

No matter what anyone says here you will go to meet her, so go with an open mind but remember that some very pertinent points have already been made by others that you would do well to take on board and keep in mind, there is no reason to get yourself committed to a relationship immediately because it is so easy to meet a multitude of ladies other than bargirls and freelance, just take a look in Thaivisa.com and you will see what I mean. Back to the lady you are talking about, ALL Thais think that foreigners are rich irrespective of whether you are or not and she has two children by a Thai guy who takes NO responsibility for the children he has made and does not support them so you will be expected to do that, Do you really want to do that? She says she works for the government so her salary is between 15 to 18,000 baht per month which she manages to run her household so any BIG money you give her will take her out of her comfort zone and make her life difficult after you have moved on, Thais do not think about or like to save money they spend it immediately and usually more than you have given because they think you will pick up the bill. Lastly if she directly asks you for money she considers you to be her ATM so look to the horizon . Best wishes and enjoy your stay in Thailand

Thai man arrested with 60,000 files of spycam pornography

These human dumpsters rarely if ever make a “ error of judgement “ they take a calculated risk in the belief that they are more clever and WILL getaway with it. So why in your estimation should they be given another chance to profit in any way from the scourge of pedophilia and or the disgraceful sick minded intrusion into people’s privacy. We should be able to go to the bathroom or stay in a hotel room etc without having to fear that there may be a camera concealed somewhere filming our every move. It begs the question How would you feel if you or your children were the subject in a movie of this sort. If it were me I can assure you that I would want to do much more than throw away the key.
