The Singha and formaldehyde story is a myth which has been around for ages and has been debunked many times.  Formaldehyde can be found in most beers in minute quantities. The WHO says the amounts are well below the acceptable levels. The chemical is also found naturally in fruits, vegetables plus certain meats and seafoods. 

 

I’m not a big drinker these days, did all that in my younger days. Although I do partake in the odd beer now and again and Beer Lao is certainly a nice beer in my opinion. 

But you are not saying you trust the WHO do you?

I've never really enjoyed those very strong beers, but I do like to try one from time to time. If I see the 8.6 version in the shops I'll give it a go.

 

Based on malted barley. Sounds promising.

Probably a bit too strong for me, but at 120-130 baht a can I'll try it.

 

For a daily drink I like to keep within the 45-75 baht a can range - and available at the 7/11, Family Mart, Mom & Pop shops.

You best have just one for the taste and than gear back to regular lager. A couple of those 8.6 cans might knock you out.

If you like that, this isn't a bad alternative. I tried one the other day, and thought the taste was pretty good, not overly bitter or sweet, clean mouth feel and a pleasant taste. And quite a kick.  I think I originally bought it at the Central Food Hall in CentralWorld. Somewhere in the 120-130b range, if memory serves.

 

   

 

Thanks for that. German beer has it's benefits (Reinheitsgebot)

The Bavaria (Dutch) 8.6 is 129 baht at Rimping Chiang Mai.

In the OP photo here, when I first looked at it, I could have sworn the Air Asia ladies were cozying up with a different kind of object...a bit like those sold by the Suk Road vendors.

 

But now on further inspection, it appears to be some kind of awards statuette.  I guess my mind was going in a different direction....

 

Anyways, the girls acted appropriate

Look like childbearing hips to me. Besides, she's not pretty enough for a LB. Bod is trim, not sure if has a boobjob or just xxxtra large pushups.

Medical blow job

Yes, but is it all woman ?

 

That is the question, 2nd and 3rd look at those hands and hips, hmmmm, who cares right ????

 

Well, if you think that's not a woman's pelvis but an Elvis....are you a male observer?

That she is indeed, but the more I look at that hand, hmmmm, could it be a LB ?

 

I know, who cares ????

 

That's piano fingers and man can she play those fingers

Yes, its sooooo complicated.  At present they must wear make up and tight uniforms, the question being will they be allowed not to wear these things.

 

 

What do the girls wear on Saudi flights?

Yes please, nude flying waitresses would be cool. Perhaps offer extras too.

Nah, those flying tits...no way. Give me a sexy dressed chick like in post#4.

When I select an airline, it has to include good looking petite Asian flight attendants as I need eye-candy to soothe my nerves while inflight. 

This way even crashing (with her) is no worry anymore.

Be a man and drink this. As if an angel.........

With 10.5 % alcohol wonder why Bavaria called it 8.6.

My faint memory (from drinking this) tells me it was 8.6% vol at the beginning.

I think the Go Fund Me page was set up by a friend without Kev's knowledge. kev has said he has the money to pay for his treatment and has taken full responsibility to why he has no insurance. ....Know doubt the haters will be out in force on this thread !!!!

 

You don't have to be a hater if you are not in favor of all the fund me sites for one thing. It is one today and a multiple next week. Are you (not personally) donating to all of them? Of course not since you cannot take the load of the whole world on your money-back. I would donate to someone in need who is pretty close to me or my direct family, but I cannot pay for all the so called beggars as someone here named them, but still there are better people than me who will still donate, maybe because they feel sorry. I feel sorry too; who wants to be in a life threatening situation like e.g. this man, but he took the ultimate risk of bungy jumping with a rotten line.

In my opinion everyone, expats and tourists, who refuse to have travel insurance or a descent health insurance, have it all to blame to themselves. If you could not afford the money for such insurances, you shouldn't have done what you did all along. Nothing adventurous about getting sick or dying in a foreign country.

"French prisons have been fertile breeding grounds for the spreading of radical Islamist ideas"

a pattern across europe no doubt. any government with any foresight could see all this shit happening a long time ago

Well, governments cannot have a foresight as they are all controlled by elitist powers who forced the Islam upon Europe. And PC is a mother.

Thanks for the link. Quite amusing and it satisfied my old farts memories.

Dutch recipe almost same. 1 on 1 translation '3 in the pan'.

Easy without rings as the batter is dense. In the pic they look almost like cinnamon rolls.

 

Actually correcting myself...these ARE cinnamon rolls and not Dutch crumpets. Sorry.

This is actually a better pic

The reporting failed to mention the 4.9 at 4 pm. It made my monitor bobble around for a while, and I was 70km from the center. By Google Earth, it seems the quake was on the same ridge that produced the 6.0 about 5 years ago, which was further north.

Same in North of Chiang Mai

Best thing I can come up with y'all have been pulled at least one leg.

I’ve looked through this whole thread as well as others but can’t see definitively If Chiang Mai accepts fixed deposits. Does anyone know for sure?

Grass is not always greener on the other side as they say. No matter where you go everything is still the same only thing changes is culture

Agreed and there is also the person itself that doesn't change. Wherever you go you will meet yourself.

I’m moving to DaNang myself I’ve been there five times stayed a few months each time, similar size to Chiangmai but it’s got mountains and beaches, cheaper than Thailand and the people are genuinely friendly  THERE I’m going again next month to organize a few things then in a few months hope to move there permanently, You should try short trip there to check it out.

What about long stay visa?
