Perception of aging foreign man as Thai woman's husband in rural area? They are certainly welcome; as the sudden big(ger) wallet from the heaven. A lot bigger blessing, than Pheu Thai govt's occasional money handout if such a man comes with sizable saving/pension from own home country. But elderly alien man's fate is sometimes unknown. Since my settlement here 2 decades ago I have heard quite a few cases where they were kicked out of their wive's houses(after all of the saving sucked out). Or dying some mysterious deaths while sleeping. And the body dumped into nearby reservior. Hope it won't happen to you in any future...

A foreigner met an attack after traffic collision? A knd of common risks of driving here. When the aliens cause an road accident, things often turn out against them. Especially when they are not fluent in Thai. Better use taxi, in case of short term visitors. So no risks of losing own limbs on unfamiliar roads during the holiday trip. I have heard quite a few such cases...

Economy 400 Baht Minimum Wage Now in Effect for Bangkok
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
When they expect significant pay rise, their products quality and productivity must go up as well. Judging from the overall level of education here, quality control, efficiency, and products reliability, it is fairly a tall order. Higher industrial outputs, often leads to wage hike. But no real vice-versa. They really need better education, before they can better their products(for the first world wage). It seems more than a looooong way. -
Report Cannabis Chaos: 12,000 Thai Shops Face Closure Under New Rules
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
12000 shops facing closure? It means the loss of livelihood to so many(both the store owners and their workers). No wonder why anti-Pheu Thais are rapidly on the increase. -

Report Thai Woman Seeks Justice After Pet Cat Found Grilled
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Eastern Thailand News
Life claimed by an unforseen incident(dog attack). It is actually the fate of any free ranging cats. They are constantly living with the risk of their sudden death. In return for their freedom; able to explore own neighborhood at will at any time. The owner of that cat should have known it in advance. -
Yeah? Since my settlement here nearly 2 decades ago,I have been to traditional Thai massage places in soi several times without any incidents though. And encounter with the stuff like bed bugs, pretty common while staying at backpackers accommodation in the west as well. Nothing really new. I even suspect that doctor might be secretly working for some pricy massage establishment: Spreading negative information of the low-end. In order to divert more first world travelers to the high-end ones.

Plastic bags: the old normal?
black tabby12345 replied to unblocktheplanet's topic in The Wellness Zone
Since my settlement here in late 2005, I have been doing most of my washing by hand, during my bath time. The only exception, curtain of my windows once a year toward the end of December. Have never had any hygienic problems with my food. I know all about how to keep food clean and safe. Used to be a licensed cook in my 20's. -
Plastic bags: the old normal?
black tabby12345 replied to unblocktheplanet's topic in The Wellness Zone
I always carry heavy duty nylon shopping bag anytime I go out for shopping. Also carrying half dozen plastic bags of various sizes in it. A small bag for small stuff, big one for bigger merchandise. I occasionally give it to someone who needs it(carrying more than a handful purchases with bare hands. Every time I buy fresh produce at local markets, I always decline plastic bags before the sellers offer. Saying nai sai tun(no bags, please). I already got heaps of them at home. And I would rather reuse them. -

He simply got rid of the fresh garbage, as the usable resource. Very positive move indeed, in terms of environment and resource conservation. -
Report Thai Woman Seeks Justice After Pet Cat Found Grilled
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Eastern Thailand News
In this case, almost looks like an extortion. Once she tosses away her dead animal, that's it. It no longer belongs to her; anyone can reclaim it. End of story. She got no grounds to demand paynpment. -

Her demand doesn't make any sense. If she didn't want anyone to reclaim her dead cat, she should have buried it, instead of dumping it in garbage stream. Once threw it away, she can no longer c!aim her ownership of that thing. If her dead cat saved someone from his hunger, it is a kind of making a good merit; what Thais call it Tang Bun(give away for someone else's salvation). -
Causes of the exponential increase in Thai obesity?
black tabby12345 replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Excessive intake of: Fat and sugar. Laziness: Their general hate of walk even for very short distance. Taking so much calories while spending too little of that. Obesity Triangle. Fat children are rapidly increasing each year. -
If they want every child a teens to attend school, the public education better be free. Thai junior high became free after 1998, still quite a hidden cost to the parents, eg uniforms. To the low income parents, it impacts a lot. Young children. grow fast, and they all. outgrow their clothing. And Thai school children need 3-4 kinds of clothing; standard, ethnic costume, boyscout, and gymnasium.
