  1. If there were spirit's involved it was the type residing in a glass bottle.
  2. "She has since called on Ban Khai Police Station to take legal action and expressed fears for her safety, stating that Nhu has already been released." Why on Earth isn't he still in custody charged with attempted murder after the vicious assault on his ex wife with a metal pipe?
  3. They use very little electricity because they can't afford to and I'd wager very few expats are running four ac's full-time, have a swimming pool and an irrigation system running up their bill.
  4. Good price for expats in Thailand but very high if your on pay of 400 bht a day.
  5. The increase in land mass is accounted for almost entirely by the growth in coral atolls surrounding the island.
  6. The Dutch have managed that situation for hundreds of years. The Thais on the other hand seem unwilling or unable to take the necessary actions to either move the capital or lessen the impact of sealevel rise/land subsidence.
  7. I believe the evidence for climate change and consequent sea level rise is well proven.....however an annual rise in sealevel of 5.8 cms is absolutely BS. That is a rise of close to one and a half metres by 2050. Whoever wrote the article had next to no idea of what they were writing about to blindly include that figure.
  8. What happened to the old '4 minute warning'? The time between detecting missile launch and impact.
  9. There are more than 50 million people older than 18 years living in Thailand. A poll of only 1310 of those people being asked loaded questions is absolutely unrepresentative of the true support or lack of support for this project. As an observation wifeys sister is a right wing monarchist, can't say any more than that. She belongs to a group, some would call it a cult, vehemently opposed to Taksin and this casino project but come the 1st and 16th of every month they are all buying their lottery tickets and playing the local mafia run lotto. Ask the 'right' question in any poll and you can get any result you want.
  10. A year and a half ago he went to the UK to receive treatment for his liver cancer.
  11. It's always interesting but almost entirely for the wrong reasons.
  12. Last time I took my Thai motorcycle into Malaysia it didn't need a numberplate unlike my car which needed a Malaysian plate in the form of a temporary sticker.
  13. From the plate on his motorcycle I'd say he's Malaysian.
  14. Thailand should tell the US to do one. Trump has killed all credibility it had and ruined trading relationships worldwide. It's on a downward spiral fuelled by debt and the rise of China.
  15. No wonder there are so many boundary disputes if they're using 1:200,000 and 1:50,000 scale mapping to determine where a boundary is. Generalisation of detail because of the small scale make boundary positioning next to impossible. When I was a draughtsman/surveyor back in the UK we used 1:1250 and 1:2500 mapping to show a boundary's position.
