  1. Coming soon. Discussions well under way. Would have been much sooner during Thaksin's time but another one of those almost 4 yearly events occurred, no not the Olympics - another coup!
  2. Not before time. Bit late to save this year but looking up for 2023.
  3. A chance of my 4th coup in Thailand, fairly good odds I would think. They are as regular as the Olympics so now 4 years overdue. Even then, it will be the same old same old. Just another general swapping his military uniform for a civilian uniform, hopefully bloodlessly. If it is happening the go ahead will have already been given to the next savior of the country.
  4. Modern medicine has a lot to do with the reduction in crabs.
  5. Just watched first episode of The Serpent Queen, very promising.
  6. 4000 last time with the last three numbers correct.
  7. Around 1750 baht on Lazada, clear case of a little padding.
  8. Putin's abject failure in Ukraine and Biden saying he would militarily support Taiwan in the event of hostilities has seen Beijing back down on their rhetoric even saying they would look at a diplomatic solution.
  9. I was stationed at a base in Scotland in the early sixties where all the aircraft were on 24 standby pointed at Russia including Vulcan bombers some of which were nuclear armed. The world has not learned a damned thing has it?
  10. I would imagine that most of the western world who have nuclear capability have a bucket load of missiles aiming at various Russian targets and numerous deterrents to counter any counter strike in the event the despot goes completely unhinged.
  11. My UK non indexed linked state pension with the current rate of exchange means it is worth not a lot. Arrived here when the rate was about 72, 12 years non index linked. But probably a more than acceptable monthly income for many Thais.
  12. Brought in and operated by the local Chao Pho no doubt that is who they should be after.
  13. Back in the day the family ran a Boarding House east coast of the UK and one of my chores was to collect mussels from the groynes for the guests, fresh out of the North Sea. Father also ran rod and line charter fishing so fresh cod in the winter and flatfish in the summer! Memories!
  14. Millions of $'s have been scammed from Chinese ,Thais, etc others from "call centres" such as these. Their prey is usually the elderly who are easily confused.
  15. Guess I live in the wrong part of Chiang Mai, or the right part perhaps?
