Prayut confident of making a comeback, but prepared “to go home”
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Of course it is. But if nobody tries, NOTHING will change. -

Then it must be time for a change. -

Why would it not be a good idea? -
Is slippery bathroom tile mandated by law?
billd766 replied to DudleySquat's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
YOU are not debating. Just stating your point of view and ignoring people who are telling you that you are wrong. As I said before if YOU don't believe him then YOU prove he is wrong. My other comment stands. -

What is ridiculous about his claim, I have lived in my wife's house for 20 years and there are plenty of people who have lived here longer than me. If you think his claim is ridiculous, then prove him wrong. If you cannot prove him wrong then look in the mirror to see who is ridiculous. -

Use a squeegee mop. It works for me. -
Me too.

For what? If I need to know anything like that I can do a search of the internet. Do you know the March 2023 price of rice in China? https://www.globalproductprices.com/China/rice_prices/ China - Rice - price, March 2023 CNY 8.360 USD 1.212 EUR 1.097 The price is 1.21 USD. The average price for all countries is 1.92 USD. The database includes 81 countries. International price data (USD / 1 kg, Source: GlobalProductPrices.com. ) I had no idea and am not interested either, but a simple search brings it up.

Federal prosecutors have considered four charges against Hunter Biden

And the saddest thing is that there are posters on here who truly believe that they know more than the investigators who have been working the case from the beginning. -
I bought one but my wife nobbled it and she is the one that uses it.

But more people benefitted from that constitution than ANY constitution that ANY coup government ever made. Of course it wasn't perfect but it was workable and of far more use to the Thai people than the current one.. There was no real time to work the anomalies out of it properly. -
Are there any 'normal' farangs living in Thailand?

And how about the physical side of being onsite to do the actual work? Other than that I have no idea as I retired 13 years ago. Somebody has to decide where to put a cell site. Somebody has to go out and do a physical site survey, somebody has to contact the owner of the site and sign a contract, somebody has to build the site, somebody has to commission the site and its links, somebody has to climb the tower to run the feeder cables to the antennas. Somebody has to ensure that the site frequencies don't interfere with anybody else in the vicinity, especially airports, hospitals, emergency services etc. Mobile sites don't build themselves. Before it comes on air and working can take 2 or 3 months, perhaps more if no decent site is available. Apps are fine IF everything is there and connected up but are useless before that point. -

25 years with the RAF, a few years in the UK and then 3 years in the UK and 7 years offshore with Motorola international building mobile phone systems. I followed that by 10 years work as a contractor doing the same thing. The biggest problem I found was when I stayed in an international chain of hotels, waking up and wondering which country I was in. The rooms were decorated the same. -
Bangkok to Expand Khao San Water Splashing Zone in 2024

IMHO it would be better if the water splashing at Songkran was banned completely to save the billions of litres of wasted water. -

billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If the PTP win an overall majority and 376 seats, with or without a coalition, they can simply tear up the current constitution, go back to the 1997 constitution and amend it. That would solve the senate problem, just dissolve the senate and sack ALL the senators. If that should happen, I wonder what the self granted amnesty to the coup leaders would be worth? After all that is what happens with every coup. -
Thailand’s heatwave nears end, rainy season looms
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
We had thunder and lightning coming from the south yesterday afternoon and some very welcome rain as well out here in rural Kamphaeng Phet next to the Mae Wong national park. About 9pm last night there was a lightning strike on a coconut tree in the front garden. A flash and the bang together. Then a bit more rain and today has been cooler, thank goodness. -
But I don't live in the UK and have not lived there since 1992, so why would I need to know or care about the price on electricity there?

I am from the UK but I have lived and worked in France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Gibraltar, not to mention around 30 od other countries across the world. Those 5 countries I have mentioned have different attitudes, food, culture and even languages from each other. Even in the UK there are many regional differences from north to south, and east to west.
