That's unlikely given Thaksin's support for the military, when it suits his needs.

They seem to be following their religious traditions with the same enthusiasm as Thai Buddhists.

Only 9th. They used to be between 5th and 2nd.

I was thinking the sane thing. Obviously there will be another general election, but it's not soon.

Don't forget his caring duties. He needs to look after his grandchildren.

I noticed the end of thread thing as well. Glad it's not just me. As for the rest of your post, I couldn't agree more.

I would do, but I'm 70 now so I'm not sure I've got the time

Ok I'll go for it. Which one is which?

I would agree, Although I've never been in that situation. Mind you, if you marry or live with someone you must have noticed them smoking at some point prior to this so maybe you both need to take a look at your decision making.

They doing OK for now but much of their economy is based around the war. I don't think that advantage will last forever. The economy won't suddenly collapse, but it will, and in some respects it already has, come under pressure.

I used to have to drive to the local university, and I noticed the students very rarely wore a helmet, unless there was a checkpoint. If it rained then up went the umbrellas, particularly the guys. Just shows which part of the body is most important in the eyes of the educated prospective Thai citizens

I think in the UK, and probably other countries where the weather is very changeable the seasons are based on dates rather than weather. I can imagine the Met Office declaring summer somewhen in May and then cancelling it the next week as it's got cold and wet again. I always thought that Thailand was tropical but I read somewhere its sub tropical in the north. Doesn't stop it being too hot, then too wet and then too hot again. My wife calls it the cool season and I've long assumed she was right, for safety reasons.

I've seen that when I've filled in the TM 7 form, but since I never had a TM 6 I couldn't fill it in. It'll take a while before all the old forms are used up, and it's just as likely they'll simply print out more of the same without changing it if it's still needed in some cases,and even when it isn't.

I was covering the fact that sex might come into it at some point. You can get a bike licence at 15 so I suppose it's not a surprise that the age of consent is 15 as well.

Maybe they think that a private company will make the difficult and unpopular decisions so they don't get the blame.

Funny I was following a young girl in an old Beetle today. I say young as a 70 year old. I think the Beetle engine was in a fairly low state of tune which made it ideal if you wanted to squeeze more power out of it.

I was going to say that but I thought what's the point. I'd have thought that sex would be illegal as I think she's under the age of consent but I may be wrong. I'm not sure if her age would have any bearing on the bank account.

Was that when the Beetle was an exciting new import from Germany? 😃

I didn't see any mention of enforcement. Did I miss it?

Sounds like an Isaan tourist ad. 😀

Yes, there's that taboo word again. Enforcement. It's what's needed but never done.

I've just watched the video and they don't seem very good. Particularly the one in the middle. I assumed it was all a joke anyway when the police said they were preserving their integrity.

Fair enough, and Phuket as well but they are on the beach. I'm up in Isaan and people still think I spend my days on the beach hundreds of kilometres away.

I agreed with you until the last sentence. No, that's not a problem at all.

Maybe it was a distraction for a breakout from the cells.
