Ferry to mainland, bus to railway station, train to Malaya ( Penang if don't want to stay near border ), return same way. Helps if have visa exempt entry to Malaysia. Do you even need to stay a whole day? I went, crossed border, came back straight away. Was only in Malaysia about 1/2 hour.

IMO China is more important to Thailand than the US.

Ah, so it's all about self interest then? Who cares if an Asian government is killing loads of it's own people so long as it's not affecting us? I have to differ. I do think it's as bad as what Russia is doing, but seems not many others do. Pity none of the contestants in that pageant hadn't said something about Burma when they had the chance, but that wouldn't attract media attention, would it?

Never heard of the cold war then?

I'm pretty sure the Thai government does not have to spell it out as to the reasons they abstained, as I'm sure most will know that, if they even care at all.

Indeed. It's easy to sit behind a keyboard and demand that other people support a war, but would they want their own son to go fight there?

Should what?

What I don't understand about that is why, if only 4% of Thailand's fuel comes from Russia, why has the price risen in Thailand, or any other country that doesn't import Russian oil? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=where+does+thai+oil+come+from Does Thailand import oil from Russia? Thailand imports approximately 55% crude oil from the Middle East, and 15% each from the Far East, West Africa and the US. Thailand imported only 12 million barrels from Russia in 2021 or just 4% of the country's total crude oil imports.21/06/2022

Well said. Good to see a post that's not a knee jerk reaction. BTW, just because she is a "beauty" ( but not my idea of beautiful at all ) does it make her any more clever or intelligent than any woman that wouldn't parade around in public wanting people she doesn't know to say nice things about her?

That seems like a good plan, but given that if I did only have 6 months I'd spend it all, not such a good idea if I didn't pass at 6 months.

Pay nurses a pittance and let managers bully them and is it surprising not many want to be nurses any longer?

That was a must see show for me. I liked the one where he tried for the world speed record best. It's the one in the intro, as above in the photo you posted Sadly, the actors in the shows I enjoyed the most have either passed on are in the waiting room.

If that was the price to pay, was it worth it to be an actress?

The ironic thing was that the boozing just moved outside to the Sukhumvit pavement, and the BGs that never used to go with customers without a bar fine being paid were available without if one looked along the tables, or standing in doorways. Epic fail by purachai.

Good luck finding one.

Given how long ago I made that post, are you stalking me? Do you keep everything I ever posted on file? Do I have to remind you of the forum rule about stalking?

Indeed, with at least 5 times as many cars trying to get down roads built in the 80s, with, wait for it ..................................., 5 times less cars! Pattaya used to be a cheap and cheerful town, with plenty of people making money and happy visitors. All that extra money hasn't made it a better place, and it stopped being cheerful long ago, so if that's a success story, you are welcome to it. If a city beside the sea can't even stop it flooding, it suggests to me that something is rotten at the heart of the Pattaya administration.

You seem to know far more about shops selling porn than I do. The one I'm referring to was run by a pleasant woman, and sold anime movies and such as 007 box sets. I bought all the Studio ghibli animes there, and not available elsewhere. Only hard to get dvds because the usual places only sold popular dvds.

LOL. Anybody posting on here is IMO highly unlikely to be actually in that situation.

Obviously never been there! Hardly stone age.

If not for the big puddle of oil under the country IMO they'd still be living in mud buildings and riding camels. IMO other than visitors on Haj they have basically nothing to make money from, except dates and suchlike. They could make money from tourism as beautiful country with many historical sights, but they didn't allow western tourists ( other than those working there ) when I was there. I worked there for years, so some idea of what it's like. Visited the historical town of Diryah, where the buildings are made of mud.

Thank you. He could have googled it himself, but apparently didn't.

Consider not putting laugh emojis on posts that shouldn't have one, or you will be accused of being inappropriate, whatever the reason for the emoji.

All good. Some enjoy beer- all good to drink it ( in moderation ), fried food is yummy, didn't care if girl hated me as long as pretended to like me as long as necessary, and then she went away. Cheaper than the girl that loved me and ended up with me hating her after getting married.

As, IMO, governments seem to make life more difficult with some of the laws they do pass, I'd be quite happy if they didn't pass any laws other than those with at least 90% votes. IMO the Swiss come closest to real democracy with their requirements for referendums on many things.
