Why would I need to believe a social media post by a former Thai Ambassador to Buenos Aires, claiming that Move Forward’s first move is to reach an agreement with US to establish a military base in Thailand? The former ambassador is known to oppose many of the Move Forward’s policies. Even if they did it, is no business of the former ambassador. He is not in government, not in any position of power at all and has only 1 vote. If he was the leader of a political party that gained millions of votes and was a leading contender in forming a new government, then I would be interested in what he has to say. But he isn't and never will be.

Probably Hondas originally. Now called Bitsa's. As they have been fixed so many times with bits of this and bits of that.

quote So, when your car runs low on petrol, you have a pump at your home to fill it up? Apart from the fact that my pickup is diesel. I never let it get that low. The nearest gas station to me here in rural Kamphaeng Phet is less than 1 km away. In the big village 6 km away there are at least 5 gas stations. If I had an electric vehicle, I would HAVE to be able to charge it at home as the nearest commercial charging stations are around 60 km away on the route 1 near Kamphaeng Phet. Until there are electric charging stations are available on every highway, city, main highways, urban and rural,EV sales will not be that high in Thailand. Add to that the whole MEA/PEA electrical infrastructure will need upgrading, including the transformers, overhead cables and perhaps even the power poles themselves to cope with the extra weight, and more power generation sites of all kinds will need to be built. Just some of the little things that EV producers conveniently forget to tell you.

The strimmer you buy depends on how big an area you need to cut, The type of ground, flat, rocky, humpy, full of trees, shrubs etc. IMHO for a simple flat lawn around 40 to 50 sq/mt then an electric or battery type is Ideal. I have 5 rai around the house that needs cutting once a month and another 4 rai that the Pu Yai Ban has rented, and an electric/battery mower simply is not big enough or powerful enough. Since 2009 I have used about 4 x 2 strokes and in the end I dumped the lot and went to the Honda GX 35 4 stroke backpack model which starts 2 nd or 3rd pull and simply runs all the time. This is my second one and the first lasted about 12 years before it started to cost more to repair than replace. It started as a genuine Honda and over the years I replaced the original parts with copies.

Of course it is my business as it is everybody who lives in Thailand's business. Thaksin affected my life when I was living here, and he may do so again or not. Something that NOBODY actually knows yet. Since when have you had the authority to tell people to move on if they don't like it in Thailand? Yes I am a foreigner who is married to a Thai and I have an 18 year old Thai son as well. If you don't like my comments, then don't bother to read them. You could put me on your ignore list, I promise that I will not care or cry, or even take your own unwanted and unwarranted comment to me, and move on yourself. You may not have noticed but this is an open forum and anybody can comment how they wish subject to the mods.

And where is your proof? You claim it so you produce the real proof. If teams from the FBI, the DoJ and Comer's investigative group who have spent man years and cannot find ANY evidence, how come you know all about the alleged crimes? If you DO (and I doubt that you do) have the proof, then publish it. If you don't have the proof then scrabble around in the bucket until you find it. You are so predictably boring. All you have are your words, which TBH are worthless.

And the military are saints? Things like 2 military coups? Stealing the whole country at the point of a gun? Not holding elections that gave the Thai people the choice of who THEY wanted to vote for? Rewriting the constitution in their own favour? Granting themselves amnesty for all past, present and future acts? Selecting the entire from their mates without ANY consultation of the Thai people? Killing Muslims in Tak Bai. Prayuth was in charge of that. Killing a nurse in a wat. That was the army as well. Compared to that, Thaksin WAS a saint.

You can usually buy petrol strimmers at the local village hardware shop. If you get the chance go for a Honda GX35 4 stroke. They are reliable, strong and long lasting and if you get one there is always someone in the village who can fix them.

I think that Kubota used to do a small 2 wheel drive tractor with a grass cutter mounted on the back of a PTO. A second hand one would be cheaper as it won't get that many hours work in a year.

It really depends on the area and type of scrub to be cut. We have 5 rai which is not always flat. Some has rocks sticking out, trees, shrubs and scrub grass. I would need perhaps 250 metres of cable buried underground and popping up at perhaps 20 or 25 metre intervals. which will also need to be carefully cut around with an electric strimmer. There are 2 drainage ditches outside to be cut as well. Some of the slopes I cannot climb anymore but fortunately we have a reliable Thai guy who uses all my protective gear and does more in 2 full days than I did in 15 x 1 hour days. I think we paid him 1,200 thb for 1 day and 2 half days.

I have a silly question for all the rabid heterosexuals in the USA and even on ANN. The situation is a simple one of principle. You are in hospital and in desperate need of a full 8 pints of blood. The only available blood of your type is in the bodies of 8 LBGTQ who are the only people who are willing to donate their blood. The question is, do you betray your principles, take the blood and live, or reject their blood and die? It doesn't even have to be blood. It can be a liver or a kidney, but something you need to stay alive. It is, at least to me, a simple yes or no answer and my answer would be a very grateful yes. I know that there will be posters who will try to twist, turn and spin the answer from a simple yes or no into something far more convoluted, full of what irs, maybes, in realitys etc.

I have a Honda 4 stroke GX35. It is used with a steel blade for open areas and a disk like the one above using 2 x 60cm lengths of 2.5 mm/sq square nylon for around the rocks, trees and edges etc. I run the nylon straight across rather than side to side as this one is. I also have a 4 stroke on wheels that does the same thing but doesn't cut such a wide area at a time.

What is stopping you from changing direction and travelling a different route? I am sure that if you did an internet search you would know where, when and for how long a parade will be at a certain point. Also there is nothing stopping you organising your own parade, and as long as it is anti LBGTQ, it will authorised by DeSantis.
