  1. Spain has to be the best place for wine, under one euro or if you want to splash out 2-3 Euros ????
  2. How is fruit juice added without watering down the strength of the wine?
  3. Are these cars worth considering? Appears they are available here but how do they stand up to say a Toyota for reliability and service?
  4. CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere of which 97% is natural, the whole global warming by human activity claim is BS
  5. If she does not wai you every time you give her money, however small, or especially at bedtime then that's a red flag IMO.
  6. They always know somebody who is getting far more than they are via idiot falang. Mrs has a relative who met a western pilot online. Even though not married yet he bought her land and house up country, new white Merc sports car and a condo in Sathorn Bkk. Plus 100k a month allowance. Even allowing for some exaggeration this is insane and liable to cause jealousy, and as for gratitude she put the condo up for sale already! Wedding approaching not found out about sinsot yet!

    Mark ups around 200 baht at Hua Heng Seng https://www.huasengheng.com/product-gold/ทองคำแทงปมโลโกฮว/?customize_changeset_uuid=
  8. One is foreign the other Thai, another one, migrant experience from Issan to Bangkok was always a rich vein for luktung songs, not quite so much these days. Saw this singer Takkedan last Friday, still puts on a good performance, though more upbeat.
  9. Porter at the Bella Vista Hotel in Bkk told me years ago he hated them as they often brought little cookers with them and stank the place out cooking in the rooms, as well as damaging the carpets.
  10. Or any fish, none are more worthy than others just because we think some are nicer to look at.
  11. More likely rats by the sound of it, we have them in the same place. If you can get up there spray with rat off and put poison down. They can make a lot of noise.
  12. Wondered how long it would be before the old testament got brought up as a deflection, actually it's not about the followers as they are just as much victims as the people being killed. It's always about the religious dogma, and in this case the life example of the prophet. Always interesting to compare his life with that of Jesus, as you brought the bible into it. One was a warlord, thief, polygamist who married a child, who had people put to death for offending him and who was a slave owner who preached retribution and violence and intolerance against unbelievers and apostates, the other was Jesus. I would say the people in the south are hospitable in spite of, not because of the nonsense they follow.
  13. I think a person has to be either naive or ignorant to respect all cultures and all religions, they are not all equal, and some are downright evil. Why respect a religion/culture which practices female genital mutilation, forced marriage, sometimes of children, hatred and killing of homosexuals and in which followers of other religions are described as pigs and monkeys in their 'holy' book?
  14. Needs to be huge rewards offered for information, somebody would dob them in if it was enough cash. This situation is not a nice sounding insurgency, it's a war against the kingdom of Thailand and the country should go on the offensive, or cave in.
  15. ' had no problems with the Muslims that I worked with in Qatar, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Egypt, Kuwait, Sri Lanka, Pakistan or Bangladesh.' You could say the same about working with communists, fascists or scientologists. It's not the people which is the problem it's the ideology, and no amount of nice followers or moderates change the nature of the creed they live by to a greater or lesser extent. In the case of Islam that is an intolerant, supremacist one spread by conquest which believes the whole world should ultimately return to islam. They follow a founder whose example was so appalling and whose influence so detrimental that no amount of people having 'no problem' with muslims can alter
  16. Not blind but drunk, just got in from concert, wedding anniversary
  17. On one condition, all followers of the cult move there from other areas of Thailand, rather like when Pakistan was formed, only without the death toll!
  18. I would have thought opinions were relevant on a forum about such topics. If you want to waste money on agents that's entirely up to you, if people want to voice an opinion of the legality, of such a process that's up to them. Last time I did an extension in June it took 20 minutes and was a pleasant morning out. Some find it too stressful to fill in a form and ask for a queue number and have to sit on a plastic chair for a few minutes, so it's understandable that such inadequates have to have help. How do such people ever get through an airport process? Why do you think people wai IO's? I never have.
  19. It's not a rule that songs inspired by Bangkok have to be in English is it?
  20. Is it worth being married though just to save 400k in the bank ???? Always seemed odd that 2 people need half as much as a single person
