Thailand's Railway Expansion: A 297.9 Billion Baht Endeavour
New visas for retirees... Also to be known as a lifetime visa, except after you have one we will change the definition of lifetime to mean 13 months from date of application. After which time a new visa will be dreamt up which will endeavour to empty any remaining funds from your bank account.

I expect Golden Showers are probably more expensive... and you don't get clean. You're dirty very dirty...

Best cookware -
Robinson and a few other places have Meyer sets that have saucepans/lids and frying pan. All in stainless steel. The particular model I had for years was the Meyer Classico. Can be used on induction cookers/stoves Good thick base not like some of this thin tinny <deleted>e that burns everything even if you put a candle under it. Good to buy when Robinsons have a sale

Gary Larson (cartoonist) had quite the conundrum with this cartoon. There are no penguins in the Artic nor Polar Bears in Antarctica. Still it's funny....

Sole searching: Foreign man’s shoes stolen from Thai beach - video
Just leave your feet under the bike. Once they get stolen you'll have no need for your shoes.

Thai scooter tales - add yours
When I was living in Non Thai (Korat) the local bike repair guy only charged 40 baht to replace the rear tyre. I provided the tyre and he did all the work. Labour is so cheap. Back in NZ you can pay upto 3100 baht per hour. Although the mechanic doesn't see that

Filipina's Viral Video Criticising Thai Women Sparks Backlash
Never give a filipina an excuse to get jealous. They can become very unhinged and a pain to live with. I couldn't even thank a checkout operator without many questions being asked later. Either you put up with it or get out as fast as you can. 8 months and I ran as fast as I could. No regrets

My friend loved street food
No. Tiparos is a manufactured fish sauce that abides by food and health regulations. Imo it's probably the best fish sauce in Thailand. Very salty and adds a kick to lots of Thai dishes. Any food that has the raw smelly crab in, I leave well alone.

I'll do some research first... Stupid me didn't look into your bike details. From what you say, it must me a digital dash..... I'll get back to you reference that problem. Normally they would be electrically controlled rather than cable fed via front wheel.

Yes fixing up bikes can be done on the cheap here. It sounds like you need a new speedo panel, Easy enough to get via Lazada or Ali Express. Check the drive unit in the front wheel first... Maybe that's the problem, again it's an easy fix/replacement part. I did up a disused scooter for around 2500 baht. Parts replaced included: Front / rear tyres and tubes Front caliper and pads Rear brake shoes Front forks Light cluster, changed all lights to led Carburettor Brakes levers Battery I'd hate to think what that would cost in the West. Some real bargains to be made if you can fix things up yourself.

California doctor claims spicy Thai dish left her with chemical burns
Where I was living in Korat, an elderly local woman made Tod Mun at the evening market. A little bit spicy but tasty as hell. Always went down well with a few cold beers. I must seek out these dragon balls. They sound good.

Prawit Visits Parliament to Sign In, Then Leaves – Misses 84 of 95 Sessions
He should be renamed either: Halfwit or Fakwit for all the good he does. Like dinosaurs he should be extinct.

Worst Joke Ever 2026
Okay, I get the physics of it all..... Yes I did go to school not just to eat my lunch. I picked up on the pendulum part and I'm aware of sine, cosine and tangent. The following post about sitting on their arse doing sweet fa (Or sitting on their bums doing their sums) probably made more sense. Maybe it's all a little over my head... But keep them coming!
