  1. Too late according to my wife an her family. People in Isaan are already burning any pictures they may have had of Thaksin.
  2. Given my wife's morning tirade I doubt there will be an excitement and there are almost no more faithful.
  3. I'd pick stretching. Based on what my older mates say about putting on socks. Next a bit of strength training. As for balance, my opinion is that it is not the balance that goes it is the fast twitch muscles and flexibility which effects the ability for the body to react quickly enough to correct out of balance signals.
  4. There is a rather dull guy that a group of my friends know who visits Bangkok. Someone said he worked for NASA because when he entered he sucked the atmosphere out of the room
  5. He was also welcome to transfer funds to keep his account above the threshold. Just like any of the followers he represents.????
  6. 5 things you love most about Thailand. OK I'll bite. * Sunshine and palm trees * As a foreigner I am not restricted by the mores of local society. * I only have 2.
  7. I sense you looking for an argument rather than a discussion. Like all philosophical quotations, biblical parables et al it is up to the individual, if intelligent enough, to make up their own interpretation. I'll add you to my list.
  8. Does this mean the older man may have sexual desire for a young woman, but he is unable to express them.????
  9. Not everything in life has to be explained or dumbed down. What I love about Thailand is that it is predominantly Buddhist. No explanation of Buddhist philosophy is given, it is up to the individual to decide for themselves.
  10. You are free to interpret it in anyway you wish. It is a bit like the Chinese:- Only a fool would tell the truth.
  11. Douglas Bader — 'Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.'
  12. I've been to the one in W District. Nothing memorable sticks out. The rotating restaurant in Chinatown has more history.
  13. I don't hate anything. It is not a perfect place but then I am not perfect either.
  14. Maybe my fault???? Now you have the tool buy some aluminum ones if worried. You could also spray the steel ones with any leftover paint. An aerosol can is about 69 baht.
  15. Butterfly not used much anymore because of the forces on the disk. OK for manual on/off use Pinch is a kind of diaphragm valve All the rest are duty/service not type. I get paid for knowing. Well, OK, used to.
  16. Depends on the fluid and to some extent the industry. Plug Diaphragm Ball Globe Eccentric disc Eccentric plug Et al.
  17. Turn on the worst tap/faucet and slowly turn off the main water pump outlet valve until the flow/pressure is satisfactory. He'd have to go down to a 155W unit to make an appreciable difference and that would reduce his potential max flow by about 1/3. A 1" brass reducing valve is about 550 Baht-ish. Go bigger and they get expensive quickly.
  18. Fair enough so you need to rent somewhere for a year. I don't know if this gives your wife grounds to get a yellow book but the concept that you can just swan around is obviously a far as Koart immigration is concerned is a fallacy.
  19. Everything has chilli???? Even the burgers.
