No I have seen this before. Extremely hard to believe but I have come across folks who lived throughs the 60 -80's, seem to have led normal lives and yet have never tried weed nor know anybody personally who has. They did a Twilight Zone episode covering the yet to be explained phenomenom.

Correct, should have seen them 40 years ago when I first came here. You struggled to find a fat girl with only the odd old fat chinese lady. Once again our influences ahve brought change, this time in the form of french fries, kfc, bread etc etc.

Intoxicated British Man Beaten by Two Thai Men in Pattaya
ThaiFelix replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
There are so many differences between these two articles I dont believe its possible to safely comment. One tooth chipped becomes 3 teeth missing, a cat call becomes a 'chatting up" etc etc. Better wait till tomorrow when the story changes again. -
Water proof paint? Mold and mildew and dust resistent etc?
ThaiFelix replied to ElephantEgo's topic in DIY Forum
I agree totally with what you are saying. However in Thailand with its hot climate I think they add water due to it drying so quickly. I had to when I painted my house. They add too much water to concrete too. The problem I have found is the average Thai guy has no idea about fractions/percentages or formula so are too heavy handed. -

Wow really? My house, inside and out, plus boundary walls all apinted with Dulu near 10 years ago and mostly still like new. Weathershield outside and Easy Care inside. My prefered brand back in Aussie too as never had a problem. Well actually I did have a problem but not with the paint rather the ancient systems of measurement used in the US and its lack of standardisation: Some of Dulux's paints are in litres and square meter coverage while the undercoats are in gallons (and its US gals just to really stick it up you) with square yards lol! What a nightmare to calculate your needs. -

What would a higher up franchise like that set you back and what would the returns be like? -

Cost of Skin Cancer Screening, Biopsy and Cryotherapy in BKK
ThaiFelix replied to AlohaThai's topic in Health and Medicine
I went to a dermo in Udon for screening after a BCC was found on my temple. She asked me to take off my shirt to look at my back but stopped me taking off my jeans saying no need??? I dont know what she studied at uni but seems I knew more after 5 minutes on the internet lol! -
Therein lays the answer. I did my non o ext renewal a few days ago and had lots of problems. It seems there is a lot of pressure from head office making it difficult for honest expats but due to corruption among officers and the Chinese you speak of. Usually my renewals go through like a breeze after doing them for over 10 years, but this year the (new) officer tore mine to bits finding all sorts of things to pick on. I firmly believe he was not being an <deleted> but following orders under pressure. He was not happy with the pics around the house, picked on the angles taken, the house number was not permanant and had to be burnt into wood or made of steel etc etc. Just too damn fussy. Also had to have two attempts at the bank letter even with telephone instructions from the imm officer and the bank. The map had to be precisely from our front door step to the Imm Office front door. Maybe the unusual visits are due to the same pressure from above.

Thaksin suffering “fatigue and stress” in hospital : Paetongtarn
ThaiFelix replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
He looks so sick and frail. Is that a grimace of pain on his face? -
Isnt Jatuporn the fruitcake who got up on tv and prompted protesters to collect fuel as to burn Bangkok? The guy who should have been jailed but ended up showing up staying at some holiday camp in Sattahip? Wouldnt believe a word this criminal says. However I do think he will go back to jail and back to hospital again, and maybe again, while those in charge ascertain what the public and the international think about it all. Thaksin I think has indeed done a deal, possibly paid back what he stole plus interest, maybe even a pledge to stay out of politics. But it cant be made too obviuous. Those in charge will take their time, maybe even set up a few diversions of attention, until he is allowed free through fabricated ill health, royal pardon, or government sanction. He will go free.

Thaksin suffering “fatigue and stress” in hospital : Paetongtarn
ThaiFelix replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
At least the druggies were shot on sight and not the slow suffering inflicted on the Muslim protesters who were bound and stacked on top of each other in sea containers without water or any ventilation while shipped off to prison. Some 85 souls died through slow suffocation and dehydration. Thaksi n praised his officers handling of the situation. -

ThaiFelix replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Now I could be miles (km's) out but with my limited understanding of how Thais think and their pre-occupation with money I imagine things have gone this way: Thaksin has planned the timing considering the political vacuum at the moment to ask the powers in charge if he can come back and be with his family during his last days on earth. Those in charge reply by saying Thaksin you are a criminal who has been convicted of using your position in government to gain financially thus robbing the Thai people and you need to pay for that crime. And here we have the classic position where in Thailand you either serve your time or you pay for not doing it. Thaksin has the cash to pay plus appropriate (exhorbitant) interest rates and fines. Thaksin will get to go free but not in a hurry so as to make it look at least the tinyest bit legit like Thaksin's health suffering etc etc. And just to make sure he doesnt re-offend Thaksin will pledge he has decided to retire from politics (aka banned). Thaksin has paid but now he is fatigued from signing all those cheques and stressed about whether or not those in charge will keep their end of the deal. Just my thoughts.
