  1. My biggest problem is their refusal to take you where you want to go. Have been refused a ride many times an evening in Bangkok in the Sukhumvit area. Also finding a cab from Siriraj Hospital to anywhere is a no ride answer most of the time. For the no meter I just wave them off.
  2. What gauge are they talking about. Talking about a "cross docking station in Nong Khai" sounds like they are staying with the one meter gauge and then transfer the freight to Standard Gauge cars for the trip across Laos and into China.
  3. I have visited Russia and the people were not as described here. I enjoyed my time spent in Russia as a tourist and believe what I have read here is USA Propaganda which is being used to back up their failures in the USA Foreign Policy as well as their failure in Economic Policy where Russia is doing well even with the USA boycotting most Russian products. Of course not the ones that are in a shortage in the US.

  5. Kicking a woman for no reason is not punishable by law with a time in the BKK Hilton? By the way just having a drink not any other drugs.
  6. Great to hear the Kohn Kaen Zoo is still there. I just went through Khon Kaen and looked for the Zoo entrance but we could not see it going both ways. We have previously been there and enjoyed it. When I can find out where it is I will go again. Great news that it is still there as it is no longer on my maps of Thailand.
  7. I flew the T 28 while going through US Navy flight training in the early 60's. Actually carrier qualified on a T-28C.
  8. I do not advise anyone to use a motor bike in Thailand.
  9. I live in Nong Khai but foreign food in restaurants is extremely rare and now limited to one that I know. Very little English spoken here at all. Been a resident for 15 years and visitor for 8 years before that.
  10. Noted Academic. Why not get into Politics and become a leader and than someone might listen to you.
  11. Having been a volunteer instructor in Nong Khai (Isan) I saw the changes that took place when money was spent in the provinces and not just Bangkok. He did very well for us who are not fixated with Bangkok. Yes I welcome him back!
