    Once observed a one-legged street beggar slide down a narrow Soi, open the back of his Fortuner to retrieve his prosthetic leg, throw his wheelchair in the back, and proceed on his way.

     

    And I'm sure the one-armed young bloke who always wears an extremely oversize shirt does have two arms. One day I expect to catch him driving a Lambo.:coffee1:

    One late night in Bali I watched a whole van load of 'beggers' changing back into their 'civvies' and handing back their rented babies before being paid and driven home to the villages.

  2. Does she have a phone?  Maybe trying recording them in their faces or if too scared secretly audio recording them (in her pocket).  With that ammunition for the press, the school is bound to jump to attention.  It must be extremely difficult for you but remember you are farang and therefore naturally guilty here so remain calm, very calm.

    The current numbers of ATMs are unsustainable in terms of management and real estate costs.  As every ATM seems to allow other local banks and pretty much all foreign cards to access them there is little justification in maintaining the numbers.

    Most banking systems are considering 'brown label or generic' ATMs as they do not see the need for the marketing of having their name on every corner ATM.  Similarly, the banking system is outsourcing much of its cash circulation to Cash Management Companies who run the armoured trucks and circulate the cash for use and collection; in advanced cases only sending back old and damaged notes to the Central Bank.  Filling up and servicing ATMs is not a highly skilled financial task, and banks save money by outsourcing.

    I've found smoking 0.5gm of cannabis every night before bed has completely cured me, even the joint swelling has gone.

     

    Not all strains work though, critical orange punch, tropical punch, red diesel, godfather all work for me.

     

    Before cannabis I was taking 8x paracetamol a day, just to reduce the pain.

    But how often do you have to kill your parents to support your weed habit?        :stoner:

    Booze has been around since the Roman times, ale was drunk by most in the UK because drinking water was contaminated with all sorts of nasties. So booze of some sort was/is part of the UK culture.

    Pubs were in easy walking distance, they were everywhere...........🤗

     

    At the same time, tobacco, whether in a pipe or paper, has been around for centuries.

     

    Dope, I suppose we must thank the Chinese for that, though I am not going look.......😋

    Excuse me, your ignorance is showing again lol!

    I stopped reading the OP when it said ATMs are popping up everywhere in Thailand... All local reporting is that banks are decommissioning ATMs as fast as they can in the Kingdom.

    Same here!  After I read the line "The allure of Thailand’s untouched beaches"  I realised the article was written decades ago, well before plastic bags and straws were even invented. :stoner:

    I find if you don't look for potential problems they have a habit of surprising you when they arrive as the surely wil as you get older.

    Thats what periodic check up are for.  Sorry just my opinion as I am the kind of person that had to give up reading medical journals because I seemed to have the syptoms of everything lol.  All my mates suffer health paranoia, seems the worrying ages them more than the years.  I take no meds at all, perform no tests on myself and just go to the doctors if I feel ill.  As I say, just my opinion and it has worked for me so far. and Im 73 years old.
