yep .... they get on a bit and then it's kapoof ' ..... I don't have a dog so my only real friend is the bottle.

holy cow ! don't park anywhere near an EV bike or car ...

I would much sooner have the USA in charge than not have them there .... just look at Putin for a start .. imagine the anarchy if no one stopped them .... the world would be in a lot bigger mess. They do alot of good things around the world. I respect them for that ...

hmm..... well money .... I guarantee you I would be happier.

mai pen rai .. sabai sabai .. '

yes .... further development on EV batteries is being addressed as there potential fire risk becomes more prevalent. Japan is a world leader when it comes to EV battery technology ....

yes, I tend to agree with this as jobs suffer, populations continue to grow, folks refrain from spending ... it's not rocket science ....

Well, while you may be correct, I'm just pointing out that many fell on hard times as a result of Covid.

I decided to raise this topic following another gold shop robbery due to the loss of work from Covid-19. Covid-19 destroyed millions of ordinary people's lives, through loss of their job, market depreciation on investments, bank foreclosures, loss of business, car repossession, house loan foreclosure, life savings lost, and many other tragic effects. We see on the news where many people have resorted to crime following their loss of income because of Covid-19. A few weeks ago I was reading where a well dressed chap almost in tears in the US was talking on the news after being arrested and saying ' I've lost everything because of Covid ' Thousands if not millions of folks lost their houses because they could not pay the mortgage. Thousands has their transport taken back or repossessed by finance companies. and the list goes on .... Now, the point I really want to make and get across is what consequence's or punitive measures or punishment has been placed on China since Covid-19 first broke out from Wuhan China back in 2019 ?? What repercussions have been forced onto China as a result of their horrendous lack of safety and virus containment that caused Covid-19 ?? Have they been punished ?? Should someone be punished ?? or should we all forget and just move on .... It's an interesting subject ... what's your opinion ?

oh dear ' The chef didn't cook his way out of this mess. He'll be going to jail for a while .... armed robbery is a serious offence.

oh dear ' we are seeing alot of gas leak emergencies in the news lately. I find it very worrying that any tom, dick or harry connects any shop LPG tank, gas hose and fitting in this place. Street stalls, restaurants, houses and everyone just connects their own hose to these death traps. I'm seriously going to convince my thai friends to convert cooking to induction and throw out the horrible gas bottle. it may take time & persuasion but I'll get there .... I already placed a gas detector on their wall 1 ft off the floor near the cooker.

you can tell the friends wife they do sell bedding in Thailand.

Change to induction cookers .... problem of risk solved ..

This is correct .... the sister and gf are worry warts ...and caused a problem ... but, he actually caused the problem in the first case by not sending a one sentence text to say ' i'm fine ... don't call, i'll see you when i see you. ' or he should have said don't call me ... when he was leaving. then to say nothing to everyone concerned when your located sounds suspicious and sneaky to me ...

your sister needs to go to the police and also make a fake missing keys report. also contact the embassy ...

then tell the sister to stop wasting valuable resources searching for someone not missing.

he'll just tell her he's finnish

he has plenty in Bangkok

no ... he didn't do anything, that's the problem. 2 people are at fault here ... him, for not texting and saying ' i'm fine, will call you in a week ' and her ( the sister ) for initiating the missing persons process when he was not missing. and to be found safe and well, and not address anyone as to why makes him look even worse . He would have been better off to at least say he wanted to be left alone or whatever ...

It's not a crime to want that ... but it is a crime to file missing persons reports, initiate a missing at the embassies, have police travel all over the city looking, had hundreds of people involved ... etc ... etc when actual it's all false and the person is not missing ... It is a crime to instigate that for no reason !!

he was probably a mule so obviously he can't say why

so there you go everyone ..... thank's for your help but I'm not talking. why does anyone bother ...

sell the damn musty smelly farmhouse and get outta dodge ! it must be hell living in that place. go move into a cheap hotel or whatever, do that for a few months and look around while your staying there to find something more permanent.

no .... TAT say's it'll grow by 9.39,000,000,000 baht

I like to associate with my bottle of Chang and that's about it .....
