I am just dipping my toe into the cacti water and I've had varied yet enthralling results.
I am trying to grow some Lophophora williamsii and I am wondering if anyone has any tips inre: growing cacti in the Thai climate .. I am kinda a plant newbie so to say

sorry whats a fortnight ? is that a month?
-
also another note - please understand just cause you live in hillbilly land or are involved in some scenario (which ever that may be) that doesn't apply to the whole country nor all of its people. Noticed that <deleted> here are in the ol province trap and then are shocked at country bumpkin behavior.. when in Thai reality that doesn't mean much.. cept for you

didn't read the drive - direct reply to the subject header.
i think in the west many people have these invisible walls constructed that protect them from other people - strangers, ie not much smiling at the mall, or manners (cept maybe Canada?) etc etc yet people still have a strong kinda sense of values (real values..) etc..
I noticed many Thais are are super open and happy and (etc.) on the surface but really ethically and morally may be in different categories, **
although by saying this, I find it hard to paint all people with a single brush.. considering the more specific class structure in Thailand, especially when compared with the west - I believe differing sets or morality start to emerge. Many people on generally (a net forum thing maybe? or else where too) seem to point towards theravada buddhism as one of the factors, which seems to explain certain mindsets yet also seems to create a huge clash in certain situations where one would assume the buddhist approach would be .. "morally superior" .. but then again deeper investigation to the buddhists here also can be quite revealing as well.
I think its a top to bottom different approach than what most western people used to.. I use this from a NA point of view then European.The media is different, tradition and respect is different. Societal hierarchy is different and prevalent. Community, class, and family are totally different. Morality, but perhaps more importantly mortality is different as well. Fear of death goes pretty far in the west.

try google

keep in mind main SR branches will give better rates than BTS/Satellite branches (as noted above.)

sounds like a porno site?
try www.thai-language.com and order some books.

try มั่ว / mua .. kinda used when bullshiting with people or someone is talking nonsense, or acting silly, or taking the piss etc etc etc
"Don't mua"
"mua for sure"
-
well I thought it was a hell of a thread
-
I thought as kinda explained above >> the name was changed from "SIAM" to Thailand ie.. Land of the People .. kinda makes sense if you think of it like that, although again this is just guesswork on my part. citation needed.

"do not destroy facilities"
good to set ground rules i guess eh
-
Previously there had been talks of a flat rate of 20 baht and also a stored value card that would work between SRT BTS and MRT.. this has come and gone a few times. I believe the rabbit card ( subpar rip off of Japan's octopus card) may have been intended to link both but obviously that didn't pan out. Lame and frustrating. Really unfortunate for people on smaller incomes.

Wouldn't be so bad if many people fought for true democracy, in a peaceful way of course.. perhaps ala 1973?
Can't see people caring enough to do something like that though.. plus bullet sandwich is probably not appetizing

Its a bad word, but you will often hear this stuff said in jest, said seriously, said under someones breath etc etc.
friends will often chide one another with this type of stuff
a girl saying it to you in that context is probably bad but on par with normal drunken name calling or arguing. like ^^ that guy said, sticks n stones

ความเที่ยงธรรมkhwaamM thiiangF thamM : fairness (/w เที่ยงธรรม being an adverb meaning fairly; impartially; equitably; righteously; unbiasedly; uprightly; morally; dispassionately;)

I think for a lot of Thais it may be direct translation of สบายดีมั้ย which is a kinda rhetorical greeting..where the deeper kinda question (from Thai side) would be ดีใจมั้ย.. would consider the context of the conversation and the person asking

Nah - Lets just put some percentage on power eh ?
big city in the middle - bkk eh ?
there is a real reason why those farmers are the down trodden eh
Quite funny as when these luddites are throwing out there blank generalizations they forget that a lot of the North and North / East are most comprised of ethnic Laotian and quite often Khmer. Anyways my point is that despite population mass - its not always the best litmus test. Now I do understand that a lot of the degenerate scum riff raff here are shacked up and exploiting these people (or vicE versA?) for what ever, they/we/ thai forum/ should focus on reality of Thailand, which really is the old bkk / กทม kinda thing. its like reading <deleted> who stay at khaosan complaining of expensive taxis or pushy tuk tuks. for this i say: you made your bed, now have a nap
