Along some of the motorcycle loops in Petchabun and farther north. I've ridden so many as to lose count and was surprised at the number of times I'd come around a bend and find a small area planted with maize. Thanks for correcting my misuse of the word 'corn'; I'd never made the distinction between the terms. My uncle used to raise a dozen cattle every year and grew 'cattle corn' to augment their grass diet. His vegetable garden is where the 'table corn' was grown.

The shocking part is that it isn't failing badly in the near term, which is why people like Klugman have gone mute. Long term it could cause problems because the Chinese manufacturers are already on thin margins and can't absorb increased expenses. There is much talk about 'finding other markets', especially from countries like Canada, but the truth is that the supply chains are deeply entrenched and the US is the world's biggest customer. Sorry to digress but the threads of international trade are all woven together.

They should make Andrew an honorary member of the Pattaya HHH Dirt Road.

Look at their influence in the region. They make all of our stuff. The Thai government has a spending problem and needs a vehicle to pay for it.

The filthy tarts.

There's no alternative so things will carry on as they are. That, or the Chinese government will pressure the Thai government for an exemption.

Waiting for permission to connect the dots?

Do Thais grow cattle corn? I've seen corn being grown in strange places.

Just sent a girl packing because of her yeast. Want her line ID?

I don't hate anyone, and can love them in spite of their faults. It doesn't make the old trope any less true. I've known a few Jews in my lifetime and not one of them took on the victim identity peddled here and elsewhere. One was in his late 60s and proud to have put his boot on a few Palestinians' throats. He didn't cry out in pain when he struck them because he was a proper man. He identified problems and dealt with them.

It's what they do. They cry out in pain as they strike you.

This thread is over 2 months old. I thought something had happened but nay, it's the same old propaganda being peddled. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/10/29/100000-young-men-flee-ukraine-two-months/ If the young Ukrainians don't care why should the geezers on this board?

Has a Repulican ever won there? That Cuomo guy is as greasy as they come. I think the biggest victory is for the young. Boomers can't be cleaned out of the pipe soon enough. Term limits, forced retirement and compulsory primaries (sorry, not civic) would go a long way to cleaning things up.

Maga? In NYC? That's as silly as Juicy Smollet's story about the attempted lynching by Maga men in Chicago. Trump is playing to his base, knowing full well that the courts will overturn his silliness.

I had visions of a plantation owner clad in white atop a horse with a whip in hand.

I wonder who founded and funds this foundation. Sounds like a tobacco industry ruse. Too much chicken chokage instead of finding a real girl, too.

This is about a race to the bottom, not hiring the best pilots. How many pilots are Thai schools turning out each year? Are adequate hours and training available? Has the use of 'wet leases' increased in proportion to the number of flights? Many parts to this puzzle need to be answered in order to gain a proper perspective.

She could have made that in a weekend on Beach Road without screwing up her son's life. She may also have condemned him to a life of poverty if there's no one to provide financial support and parental guidance.

Greed and a lack of due diligence can lead to poor investment decisions. Actors are often unsophisticated and vulnerable to these types of scams.

Was he running the show when the rainbow crosswalks and dope shops started showing up? Globalist scum. Many people in this thread don't understand how Asians view real estate. It's a long term investment, not to flip. Do Thais have house porn like we get back home? A female friend had a house sitting empty a couple of blocks from her home and offered to let me stay there for free. When times got tough for their family business they still didn't sell their empty houses: it's seen as a foolish move. Even dirt poor country families have houses. The West has a messed up approach to housing.

This could be used to flood the country with migrants, drive down wages, increase rents and drive inflation. Western countries are already in soft default due to the government borrowing orgy, Thailand won't be far behind.

*Couldn't* care less. And why should anyone else care? The guy could probably work things out if he was so inclined. The Thais are kind and gracious to elderly people, far more than our governments at home are, at any rate.

They're all cut from the same cloth. The kingmakers must derrive no small amount of amusement from the bickering (and worse) from people who support one camp over the other. Look at the Joe Biden of 40 years ago. There was a sharp man and fierce in debate. Yet that's not the one who was chosen to run for president. They chose the spawned out, sold out version with a closet full of skeletons. Biden advocated for a bill that locked up more blacks and minorities than any administration since. The American public has a short collective memory so they let him get away with " if you don't vote for me, you're not black!'. Trump is equally compromised. The problem is that there's no salary that can compensate for the grift money. Obama went in as poor as a church mouse. Look at him now.

The real shame is the pathetic representatives the American electorate has to choose from. They're the 'basket of deplorables ' whom Hillary referred to.
