save the frogs

so you think western doctors are not trigger happy with prescribing drugs? how many people have been on antibiotics for the sniffles?

every generation has pros and cons 20sthings can work off a laptop and travel the world / make money on youtube ... that wasn't possible in previous generations

this is basically the same thing as an abortion, but a more cruel version

there's a lot of crazy people with crazy agendas so blocking free speech isn't always a bad thing

thailand gets 34/100 freedom score, but based on what criteria? seems like a silly baseless score to me.

if you're over 50, you can get a retirement visa and you can open a thai bank account with it.

talking to a screen is boring. will be fun fun fun when they start putting chatGPT in humanoid robots. we can all have our own R2D2

we don't really need pets, but we keep them. hopefully super-advanced AI intelligent beings that are a billion times smarter than us will see us the same way we view pets.

please don't.

a car stopped and let me cross where there were neither lights nor a pedestrian crossing. no rhyme or reason.

maybe no one will be too interested in solving it given the victim's criminal past.

there are cycling clubs that do cycling tours, in thailand and other parts of se asia. just do a google search.

no, it doesnt damage the reputation of all farangs. try to conduct yourself properly and you'll be fine.

what up with the rottweilers? what was their role in all of this?

good post and good topic. a lot of people here are working 6 days a week for not much money. sad stuff. i went into a bar the other night. just played a game of pool with one of the girls and bought her a drink. and then asked her if she was hungry. thought i'd be a bit charitable and throw in a meal for the possibly struggling single mother. she orders street food, i pick up the tab, then she takes one bite and leaves the rest. i asked her why she didn't finish it. she said "too salty". yeah, like she's never eaten that food before. i just wasted 90 baht thinking i was doing someone in need a small favor. maybe she's not that broke. or maybe all they care about is getting that 2000 baht for the monkey dance. but anyway, i'm not a huge fan of foreigners to come to thailand and living lavish lives. and just not looking and acting arrogant is a big deal. there's an orphanage I heard about. I think it was originally set up by foreigners.

7-11 has bananas

Just remember to boycott the Americano.

I just noticed a woman with a tiny kiosk selling coffee on the side of the road is using a yellow moka pot.

stevia has an odd taste, so i stopped using it. use cane sugar now. not 0 calories, so need to burn them off.

Do they attack people for just refusing them or did this guy insult the ladyboy?

scholar of ancient warfare.

why dont they just use the traffic light system like in western countries instead of these silly pedestrian crossings? and give tickets if you cross the red light.

yeah, they need to be cleaned. also, had a fancy machine and it broke down. and don't like the Keurig because the capsules are bad for the environment. so I just use the French Press for daily coffee. It's not that bad and minimal fuss. And once in a while go to a coffee shop for better coffee and let them worry about maintenance and repairs on fancy coffee machines.

more pressure = more flavor extracted the fancy machines have high pressure moka pot has some pressure and therefore makes a decent coffee i love the SOUND of the brewing the moka pots make but i stopped using them ... there is some kind of grime or whatever it is that builds up in the pot. I guess there's a way to clean it, but I was too lazy to figure it out. moka pots can be used at campfires
