  1. "The dispute flared up while the men were drinking beer at their usual roadside parking area." Well there's your problem.
  2. Have to keep Trump happy at the cost of buying the inferior aircraft I guess.
  3. Should have gone for the A 350, larger, more passengers and greater range.
  4. Does anyone know how many Thai tour guides are proficient in Hebrew?
  5. "Efforts will be made to increase imports, including raw materials for animal feed and potentially meat products..." Wonderful, Thailand can replace it's homegrown beef full of growth hormones and it's chlorinated chicken with US beef full of growth hormones and it's chlorinated chicken.
  6. My dad spent the final years of life with dementia. It was incredibly sad and terrifying watching his mental decline. He would wander off out of the house having no idea who we were or where he was. He would have ferocious fights in his own home with entirely imaginary Intruders. I am taking nothing at face value just remarking that dementia victims wandering away from their home and getting into trouble is all too common as they have limited understanding of what they may be doing.
  7. Wandering around in a confused state.... Alzheimer's absolutely could be a contributing factor.
  8. Hopefully the autopsy will perform a check for methanol poisoning.
  9. Trump not an idiot! Haha that's a good one. Now I know you're not to be taken seriously.
  10. "The Department of Land Transport will monitor these routes using GPS tracking." "Risky behaviours, such as speeding and excessive work hours, will be monitored via GPS." Not exactly proactive is it considering how easily a tracker can 'accidentally' be disabled.
  11. There goes that Swedish fighter jets deal.
  12. Chinese were unaware public urination is reserved for Thais only.
  13. Some people may speculate that the contractor, after furnishing the required brown envelopes, realised there was no longer any profit in the job and decided to cut their losses. I couldn't possibly comment.
  14. Seen pigeons in many Thai hospitals, nothing to worry about. Snakes, now they're altogether different. Guy at a hospital near to us was placed on a gurney and bitten, he was lucky to survive.
  15. Read the article again it says exactly what he was arrested for.
  16. "Despite the earthquake hitting a staggering 8.2 on the Richter scale, only one incomplete building collapsed in Chatuchak." Is the writer suggesting the earthquake still measured 8.2 in Bangkok when the epicenter was hundreds of kms away? Very misleading article, if an 8.2 earthquake was actually centered on BKK the destruction would be catastrophic.
  17. ".....and an individual causing disturbances within the hospital premises." I heard the hired an Israeli for extra realism.
  18. Looking at some of the pics of damaged hi rise/condos on FB I think we'll be waiting for the market to stabilize before looking for anything to buy.
  19. Kanchanaburi does have several fault lines, fortunately minor, along which quakes do happen. Biggest quake we had was a 5.5 maybe about 10 years ago. Centred on Sisawat up on the Burmese border. That one made the news as it also got the high-rise blocks in Bangkok swaying. Bangkok really does have a major problem being located in an area susceptible to liquefaction during a strong quake.
  20. Simple, sign on the entrance 'No Chinese'.
  21. Melting icebergs do not raise sealevel. Melting glaciers and other ice and snow mass above sealevel are what cause sealevel rise.
  22. "The two children now face a heartbreaking future, as family members arrange funeral rites for both victims." The shooter is not a victim and the pos should be taken straight to the local landfill.
