But that is only your opinion compared, to a few other countries opinions.

Well I am still happily married (for the second time) and I am 79. It seems to work for me.

It certainly does not revolve around your comment. How can you assure me that is not the case? It is only your observation. Most people go to supermarkets to shop, and not to check if a man and woman are married.

Do you believe everything that you see and read, especially on Fox News? Fox News have admitted that they are not really a news channel, more an entertainment channel. https://www.theroot.com/fox-news-finally-admits-it-s-not-news-1830256880 If it is not a news channel, why would I bother to look at it? I tend to choose my own news and entertainment.

When I used to go to the supermarket with my wife, we would split up and she would get the stuff that she wanted, and I would get the stuff that I wanted. We would meet back at the cashier and I would pay for it. Then we would load the truck and go home. She didn't need to follow me around. Married life is as easy or as hard as you want to make it.

I would be quite happy to donate my body, but at 79 it is just about worn out.

But you still have no real knowledge or facts, only a report from CNN. Who did they interview and what questions did they ask?

How would they get the seawater to the toilets and where would the waste toilet water be dumped? Back into the sea perhaps?

Good for her. I only wish that a law could be enacted worldwide making organ donation compulsory unless the family refuse. Just think how many other people could have used the lungs, liver, kidney, eyes etc and gone on to live a relatively normal life.

Random diagnosis on the basis of a photo? I wish that I were half as smart as you.

You can post as many photos as you wish, but it is still only your opinion, and NOT that of everybody else.

Who is we? You are not speaking for me, but only for yourself.

The military is completely outnumbered by the civilian population, not to mention that perhaps 30% of the military are conscripts. They can control small areas with mass manpower, but they cannot face demonstrations in many places at the same time. The bulk of the military are not the problem. It is the generals, the Hiso's, the rich and the royalists who are the problem and there are not as many as they think they are, nor are they as powerful. If there is a problem on the streets, I doubt that there will be anybody higher than a colonel out there, and he will only have a limited authority to instigate anything. This is my personal opinion.

Scroll down the first post. See Fox News. Ignore the thread.

What was she tweeting? Her personal opinion or the CNN story? I would think that as it was a tweet it was her personal opinion which of course she is entitled to, though not everybody will agree with her.

But whose truth? You are making the assumption with no real knowledge or facts.

You would love the Victor. especially if you were running low on fuel. However for a real man's aircraft, how about one of these? I worked on them in 1962/63 at Thorney island and in 1963/64 in Bahrain. Or a real monster, the Vulcan.

How many people, residents, workers and tourists are present on Samui at any one time? How many resorts do their laundry every day? How many resorts use water (and how much water) every day for their guests to shower and use the toilets, to cook and clean with. The same applies to all the workers and the residents. quote from the Thaiger "To address the water crisis issue, the Authority aims to supply an additional 24,000 cubic metres of water from Surat Thani on the mainland via an underwater pipeline to Koh Samui." It states that they will "aim" to supply 24,000 cubic metres of water per day, not that they WILL supply that much water. 24,000 cubic metres of water is 24 million litres of water a day. Where will they find that much extra water from, at what cost and who will pay for it? Will it just be used in the municipal water supply or available to everyone? Will Samui expand their municipal water supply system to all areas and resorts? Where will all the waste (grey) water and the toilet water go to? Talk is cheap but to do the job properly will take time and money.

Never mind the rest of the population. Just go and spend your money so taht a few people will make even more money. BTW, when the price of water goes up to the hotels and resorts, you will be the ones who pay for it.

Perhaps it is, IF you live in a city or an urban area. In rural Thailand, by far the largest area and probably the most populated only 7/11 offers a delivery service and many places prefer cash.

What will they do with the old extinguishers that are replaced?

From that bastion of truth and honesty. Fox news

BS. There are many good marriages between Thai ladies and farangs that are never posted here due to the negative attitudes of many of the posters here on ANN. As for the helper/nurse/scenario I am 79 and I have supported my wife through 23 years of marriage and for 7 years before that. Of course I trust her. She has taken over the jobs that I used to do but cannot do any more. As for the "I wonder how many old guys get the poison in the coffee treatment and we never hear about it." Perhaps you never hear about it as it is most likely a figment of your imagination. You do realise that when a farang dies, unless there is a record of poor health and long term illness, an autopsy is performed by the police to determine the cause of death

There have been quite a few "where did it all go right marriages" over the years. However they have all been diverted and corrupted by the many negative posters who have been burned over the years. That is why you rarely see them nowadays. I, and one or two other posters try to put our positive views, but it is like King Knut trying to stop the tide coming in.

One of the problems that is rarely thought about is that by attracting more tourists, more water is used (and has to be disposed of) plus more trash piles up to be disposed of. Tourist business operators don't seem to plan for that and AFAICS neither does the local authority. They are too busy chasing cash and profits to consider forward thinking.
