  1. The couple of days is up . Whaddya think now?
  2. I am wondering if zero tariffs on imports of US food waste will lower the cost of street stall meat balls ? Or is the presumption that those imports are fed into animal feed product is true?
  3. Several months back I took a taxi from Swampy at 1.00 am to a hotel 25 kms away. Did not realize I had left a small bag with Passport and wallet and phone in back seat until just after taxi left. The driver found the bag before new customers and drove all the way back to my hotel to return it but nobody new which room I was in. In the morning I asked Reception if they could call the number provided on the Airport taxi receipt. It was then I was informed that the driver had already tried to return my bag. They called and he came once more. Made no request for compensation. I got him to wait for me to checkout and got him to take me to next destination for which I very generously tipped him!
  4. In a couple of days the next release numbers that although likely to be averaged down will also likely show a significant upward shift that the previous "official" numbers tried to disguise.
  5. Sadly amusing to witness the rampant racist vitriolic objection to Chinese tourists by people who may or may not reside in a country that is entitled to pursue TOT policies at will that are unlikely to have any impact on the critics at all . I have witnessed all manner of objectionable behaviours by tourists of almost all origins over the last 25 years. Whatever income Thailand derives at least it at provides paid employment even at minimal levels that if these Chinese never came at all would be absent.
  6. The "Great reset" is underway. The advantage will not go to the USA. The repercussions will be endured by the poor but the rich will shrivel and die economically. Old money will lose significance. Human population will shrink. Rodents and cockroaches will thrive.
  7. At this stage of an ongoing debacle it appears that Trump is now in a situation of "Damned if I do and damned if I don't" over the rising demands for a full release and disclosure. A bipartisan call for yet another Impeachment is in the rising wind !
  8. Overall I agree. The 30 Bht scheme lends to the abuse of services and over prescription of medications for mundane issues in a large percentage of cases. Unfortunately the opposite occurs when many Thai are self aware of serious symptoms and avoid diagnosis out of fear until treatment comes too late.
  9. You missed the p person on the scooter in front . The one following up was possibly wondering why the person up front was so so aggressive ? The black smoke? oh yeah, sh.t happens .
  10. Been there have you ? Still there are you ? Most tourists to Vietnam are one timers . Wonder why ? 4 from 5 to Thailand come again. Wonder why?
  11. My perspective can not support yours when you say "stolen" then say "gave it up for profit" which is the base reality. And in that process have you ever seen reference to any clause specifying absolute denial of generic capacity in any way or form? KFC recipe? Really? Twenty years ago I could buy KFC flavor sachets in Indonesian shops to emulate taste. Was it/is it exactly the same ? I don't know or care because it is a product that endeavours to imitate, not reproduce or steal in originality. My objection is to the attempts to "patent" human genes. Modified or not they are in origin not an original human creation. In fact contamination of the human gene pool should be a crime in my opinion.
