  1. P' ott owns PDC visa beside her Boxwood restaurant near the Bkk hospital in Kk. You can find it on GMPs. She goes to UT fridays to supervise her satellite location for border runs from Non Khai to Laos. Might give you a free ride. Did it for me 9500B Inclusive. Might be more now. Top notch service. Only way to go from KK.
  2. Not my place to disagree with any of the above. But just to mention , that I sat beside an educated Thai engineer on a bus between BKK and KK and he echoed a similar sentiment of support for Anutin and Phrayut that just played out in the February election. So in a sense not surprising. Dee mai dee ? To be seen.
  3. Tried to respectfully read as much as the the preceeding posts as possible. In my mind it boils down to this. There is not now nor ever has been anything more dangerous than " true believers " . Whether it is granting total credulity to an existing religious or political dogma or their own self righteous constucts. The world has suffered under these unreasonable types since our species crawled out of the caves ( metaphor by the way for the argumentative) 200,000 years ago. As an aside , biblically speaking , Jews Arabs Palestinians and many other disparate races are sons of Shem and hence Semites. Nothinng worse than a family feud of true believers to turn the world upside down.
  4. Crack open a bottle of Hong Thong to share , show respect for the culture and the individuals around you and its always amazing how many folks will make a decent effort to communicate with you in English in Khon Kaen or anywhere else for that matter. Of course its not advised in a taxi but on the other hand not unheard of. 555. ( sorry for the dangling participle)
  5. I could be completely wrong but I have been led to understand two things from conversing with low wage Thai people. A , there is already too many holidays because B, when they don't work they don't get paid. Seems this extra holiday talk is only pertinent to well off government employees. And yes, there is a lot of them.
  6. There must be more than 100 places in my favourite Thai city that one can buy wobbly pop and its stronger cousins at anytime during the day , religious holidays included, 3 of which I frequent and one on the main drag operates openly from 7pm to 6am. Pretty sure this is common throughout the kingdom. Can't quite figure out what all the fuss is about.
  7. Just trying to protect my sanity. Is that a bad thing? 555 This nonsense goes on ad finitem. Is anyone else tired of it ? 55
  8. Couldn't bother to read anything above this post. But I'm driven to say all You Boobers are idiots.
  9. P'Ott runs PDC visa beside her restaurant ,the Boxwood in Khon Kaen. She has opened a satellite office in Udon Thani to which she attends Fridays. A well connected agent assisting in visa apps and border runs through Non Khai. Been driven to the office once but can't figure out the exact location. A quick call to KK should give you the info you require.
  10. The add was launched by the Premiere of Ontario Doug Ford , a conservative , I would not usually support, but has for the most part been a very good leader in my province. His decision to invoke Reagan in an add has no authorization by the federal government. This is very common within the Canadian polical system where provinces have their own voice. Whether it undermines or enhances the federal governments efforts remain to be seen. But for Ontario, right now Trump is pariah number one and deserves all the public ass kicking he deserves. Personally I believe New York and California would be better off becoming our 11th and 12th provinces. Go Blue Jays Go. 555
  11. As usual, from many contributions from Westerners, apoplectic comments about regular life Thai life hidden under false concerns about safety life and limb. No recognition of the economic reality that forces a family to take unnoticeable risks to meet unrealistic government mandates for education and military mandates at a wage structure that would cause violent riots in the west. Give the Thais a little credit. They know how to make it work in their own country. Yes some will suffer death or injury. Living will kill us all eventually. Even the know it alls on AN.
  12. 1925 kodascope 16mm movie projector. At least when I sparked it up 15 years ago. You could plug it into AC or DC. Interesting considering the power distribution controversies of the day.
  13. Don't normally opine in these discussions, but as a +70 year old it occurred to me that if our species succumbed to every new virus introduced through whatever zoonomic transmission, we would have gone extinct 500,000 years ago. Infants and the elderly have been dying at the back of the cave for 10s of thousands of years. Modern medicine has changed that though some would like to go back to the caves. In my mind the only legitimate question revolves around how many enterprising peoples lives do you destroy to save some whose lives are already well spent? ( Including my own). This is an ethical question that every government wrestled with 5 years ago. In retrospect I believe they they went way too far in protecting my cohort. I have great sympathy with those whose livelihoods were sacrificed. I hope that mistake never happens again. Vaccine/ no Vaccine? To each their own. Live or die accordingly. In the cosmic scheme of things it doesn't matter one bit. Regards.
