Flying home food
Just a suggestion here. I was born in Orlando Florida. Pretty much opposite side of the globe from BKK. it's a 27 hour trip. 26 years of BKK expeience.....If you are an ostrich & can eat Thai food like my wfe & daughter, then please disregard this message. Peanut butter & jelly sandwiches with sliced bananas on them is ALL you should eat prior to your flight. Wash those down with a half gallon of miik. Do NOT & eat 18 sausage balls (Sai krog Issan) and eat 18 peppers right before a 27 hour flight. Bad idea. Ask me how I know......

Grand President Hotel Sukhumvit Soi 11 Closed?
How is the Ambassador Hotel these days Didn't a fire rip thru it 20 years ago? I am OLD. Seems like yesterday. The Dynasty used to be kinda cool & Google Maps says it is permanently closed. It's been a few years since my first jaunt to BKK....I was there in 1999. Lived there a long time off & on. I've stayed at the Sofitel near Mo-Chit.....College girls in those fricking uniforms everywhere. Heaven. They weren't hookers, but they sure made for some nice eye candy. I was 33 & "RANDY" as Austin Powers put it. Thanks for the info Brother.

Thailand on Edge: Nationalist Rally Targets Cambodians After Flag Controversy
Yeah I'm 58. Fat as a pig 165 lbs (same as I was in basic training in 1984). My friend dying slowly from drugs has brought morbidity to my conscience in a big way. I want to die in battle, with a weapon in my hands. I have a house in Prasat.

Thailand on Edge: Nationalist Rally Targets Cambodians After Flag Controversy
Yes. The RTMC (Marine Corps) should hit the beach at Sihanoukville & drag in the Army behind them. Do a straight march to Phnom Pen & do like the Vietnamese did back in the 1970's. It might settle things down for a few decades before somebody has to put them back in line. I have worked with the RTMC. Those dudes are Bad-ASS. I'm 58 now. I bet I could get a spot to forward deploy with them in the action. I might get killed, but it would be a fun way to die. A childhood friend (known him since I was able to walk) is in a coma, going out of this life on a drug overdose (meth/yaba). I never did drugs, but when I die, I'd like for it to be in battle. Nothing like the smell of cordite in the morning. I never smelled napalm (yet) in the morning.

Thailand on Edge: Nationalist Rally Targets Cambodians After Flag Controversy
Totally agree. 20+ years since I visited Cambodia, nigh on a generation ago. They were still trying to find intellectuals after the genocide of the 1970's.. Looks like the crazy folks have found them. I worked with the Thai Army and Marine Corp...Never the Air Force, but I did see the F-16's flying daily....never heard of one crashing. That puppy will rain HELL on the Opposing Forces.

Thailand on Edge: Nationalist Rally Targets Cambodians After Flag Controversy
My daughter is 20, (grew up in Prasat, Surin) Cambodians claim to have invented Som-tam, so she does not like Cambodians. She has a long list of problems with Cambodia = somebody has been pumping the Propoganda. Who is the Thai version of Josef Goebbels? And Vice versa?

Grand President Hotel Sukhumvit Soi 11 Closed?
I would imagine another hotel chain took it over/bought it? Google Maps says it is permanently closed. Any updates would be appreciacted. Haven't been down that way for few years.

Trump's Tariff Troubles: Thai Academic Sounds Alarm on Key Issues
Funny how us USA Patriots saw Donald Trump for what he was in 2016 & everybody else HATED him becaise of the media. Funny how EVERYBODY on this forumm HATED Trump & wanted Hillary. Morons. Now that it's cool to like Tump the conversation goes the other way. ANY body with a half-functioning brain shoould have seen that, "Huh? He's a pretty smart guy". .reat I grew up as the son of a timber contractor in the swamps of Florida in the 1970's & here's a New Yorker talking some sense.Funny how EVERYBODY on this forum HATED Trump a few years back, & now EVERYBODY still hates him...but he has done some good things. I DO NOT LIKE the Man! He's an arrogant prick! Yet he is The POTUS. Likiing a great Commander-in-Chief of my military??? I HATED MANY of my officers in the US Army....but I followed orders, under the US Constitution. The guy is an A**hole but I swore to folow his orders. Be it the Commander in Chief or some 2nd Lieutenant. I HATED my Lt's in the Army. I kept many of them alive. "Sir don't do that". In the end it comes down to Communist vs. Capitalism. Either go thu Mao's GREAT LEAP FORWARD, Stalin's PURGE, or Pol Pot's experimemt. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!.........for the Contitution on the United States of America . It's just a few pages long. I think it's 4 pages? Guess what? IT'S THE LAW.

Thai Activist Proposes Sex Ban for Under-22s to Tackle HIV Surge
Prohibition of booze worked really well in the USA in the 1920's. I daresay this "Prohibition of sex" might create a few speakeasy's - sex shops in Thailand! To borrow a line from Apocolypse Now!..."The Horror, The Horror..." I've been to 45 countries. I spent 6 years in Kuwait, where booze is banned. I never drank so much in my life.

Bangkok Gears Up for 2028 Formula One Grand Prix with New Plans
Does anybody recall the "Half Marathon" a few years back? it wound up being 1.5 times as long as it was supposed to be? Where oh where shall the Soidogs be during this event? I hit a soidog going 100 kph (it ran out in front of me and tore the front end off my Niaasan truck)....I never slowed down due the fear of a mob demanding 10,000 baht from the Farang.....(he was a special dog ya know...)
