Top man. Thank you I got the suppliers mixed up as mentioned above.

That would explain it. Thank you Just checked. You're right. I'll try the BKK one.

I got a message saying the BKKKUSH stuff is out of stock for 2 months. I've really enjoyed his supply and the price is reasonable. Any alternative sellers to his range, quality and price?

So, in 10 minutes you can decide if someone is up to your level of intelligence? You didn't like the people you grew up with. You don't like Aussies either. Your educational merits shine through when you call anybody a retard. You've labelled any Brit who enjoys a drink and football as blue collar. I forgot that only certain classes of society like football. I bet you have never said this to the faces of these Brit, blue collar, drunk, trash. In fact I'd bet my last dollar on it that you'd run a mile if confronted by such. However, great to see that everyone has to prove you wrong. Even better to hear that all your crew are intelligent and educated, just like you. Ever wondered if people think you're the clown, or someone to avoid at all costs? The bloke people call Asbestos when he walks in. Seems that your life is one great, big, vast field of disliking all around you. Is it possible that the problem isn't with all of those you choose to judge, rundown, and criticise, rather you and your shallow, ignorant, negative, and bitter attitude?

I'm British and there are always the minority that make us look bad, worldwide, not just here. However, can you enlighten us as to how you know, just by looking at them, that they're 'undereducated?' From the black and white I'm reading from it sounds somewhat ignorant and judgemental no?

Thank you. Makes perfect sense. As sad as it is to accept. I think you're right when you say that we can't stop the increase in temperature. I just wonder that should a time come where we are faced with day after day of going to shopping malls and such, just to stay cool, if a large volume of tourists and expats call it a day here. Nearly everyone I speak to stays in during the daytime to avoid the blistering heat. It's only my humble opinion but I do believe that eventually nature will dramatically change the way we live.

The only certainty is that it the truth won't be announced. I've had 2 incidents lately where, although the police weren't involved, it could have gone that way. One was my fault entirely and I took all the overreacting on the chin, paid out what they were after and on we went. The other was entirely the opposite and they should have apologized and made good yet continued to lie and shout and behave like children. The longer it went in the worse it became. In this case I also kept quiet and walked away despite being completely innocent in the fracas. When faced with losing face the locals will stop at nothing to protect their pride. Accepting responsibility just isn't on the cards here. The only ambition you should have is to get away as fast as possible before more get involved and more conflict ensues.

My thoughts also.

Great post. I would never have thought COVID would be seen in my lifetime but it did. I can honestly see this heat destroying the Thai economy within 10 years. With this heat nobody goes out, work stalls and people will look at other areas to travel to. Unless Thailand takes this seriously they'll be facing an exodus which will be irreparable. This, and last summer have been dreadful.

A baby...what's the world come to? I don't believe in God and I remember having a debate with a believer shortly after the Dunblane massacre regarding how people believe in God when this sort of thing happens. Her response was that there is evil present within the human race that cannot be explained no matter what your faith is. In this such instance, she's right. There is no possible explanation for a person to pour acid over a baby. The perpetrators need to be erased off the face of the earth and their ashes literally binned.

The woman should be put away for a long time, if she's guilty. The girls should get counselling and help from a foreign agency. The families of some of the girls will be involved. Make no doubts, they see the money and all else is forgotten. Not all, but certainly some are aware of what the transactions are all about. Reality check...she pays a fine, the girls stay put or relocate to another brothel. The families get their monthly bank transfer. Thailand....

That's the sort of news that needs opening up on social media. The world needs to see them for what they are before venturing out here. Try playing that one down in the global media. What an absolute disgrace. Accept 3k, we'll take a cut and let a nonce back out to try again. Anyone with an ounce of knowledge knows that these scumbags start by chance and work their way up. What a shower of ..... These so-called law enforcers are.

They are mentally challenged. You've concluded the investigation. Good stuff.

I don't watch the news and have no idea what's happening. Suits me just fine because these disputes have been going on since time begun. I don't want to know how hot it will be next week or the rising price of fuel because I can't do a thing about it and have no option but to accept it. I don't listen to sceptical bs unless there are facts and evidence in front of me. Call it ignorance but ignorance is bliss. Say what you like about Thai attitudes to world affairs...all I know is that I've not met one who doesn't sleep well. I wouldn't give it any thought. Carry on as you are and remember, if you have options you have a good life.

I used to get told all sorts of things about any Thai - westerner relationships. Due to my naivety at the time I used to take it all in. Then I got involved in a relationship (28 year old not 16) and the same crap started getting stirred up about us. I'm not reflecting this on this situation but it seems a hell of a lot of gossip is spiteful, pathetic and utterly unfounded. Pure jealousy. As the old saying goes, there's always another side to the story. Call it cynicism, negativity, I really couldn't give a monkey's, I simply don't take in what either party says when it comes to a relationship breakdown. Today's news is tomorrow's fish n chip wrapping.
