Can Foot Massage Be Dangerous?

I don't think it is, but just to be on the safe side, I'd never let anyone massage me with their foot.

Trying to remember the name of a totally bizarre Japanese show that I caught a couple of times on UBC last year (possibly on the eXcite channel). It was on in the evening and had kids and adults giving some of the most surreal performances I've ever seen.

Anyone else watched it and know the name or have a copy of the True schedule to hand to check it out for me?

Cheers

Takeshi's Castle?

Does anyone know if his driving license has been revoked yet?

empower the airports' security officers

And those must be the same security officers that cocked-up the baggage scanners by viewing porn on the monitors.

Kanpitak's parents indicated he has a mental condition and he cannot control himself when he is under a lot of stress.

If so, he should not have been allowed to drive that car in the first place.

Strictly enforced, that would disqualify half the drivers in Thailand.

so, it looks like the visa will be uninterrupted but no more backrubs? I can live with that.. but I guess we will here more in the coming days/weeks.

"grant our members multiple-entry visas every 5 years upon the duration of the membership status"

Exactly what does that mean?

I thought the memberships were valid for a lifetime.

As in political lifetime of the originator of this idea?

One day, one of these refugees may be the Prime Minister of Thailand

Or vice-versa.

I doubt the Economist is worried about what Thailand thinks about it - or not being on Bookazine shelves from time to time. Thailand is unlikely to be one of its major markets for distribution.

The Economist worldwide circulation 2008 = 1,337,184 copies

Thailand = 6,528 copies (Asia edition)

Thailand Opts To Build Nuclear Power Plant

Beaches that glow in the dark and 3-headed soi dogs. That should be good for tourism.

I read a while back that Thailand announced they were going to build a Nuclear Power Plant.

Does anyone know anything about this? Have they started planning yet?

I think it's a good thing as personally I am all for nuclear power.

Thanks

- Shug

I am all for nuclear power too. I'd certainly build a nuclear plant if Lego sold one in a box.

Thai copyright

It may be easier to have the pests sign an agreement to get exterminated exclusively by your invention.

Dr Somsak said the mistake was unintentional.

Is there any other kind?

And Thailand needs a good 12-step program:

Step 1: Admit you have a problem!

What's really needed is a good karmic bitch-slap. Long overdue.

Or does it bug you that in the beerbars the ladies give a lot of attention to the handsome young man backpacker whilst neglecting you old pot bellied geezer though you have a fat wallet to spend on ladydrinks and so on?

Does that really happen? I mean, are fat wallets and ladydrinks no longer in demand?

Do I need buy a backpacker now?

How much would you have to pay for a decent backpacker then?

About the same as an English teacher, I guess.

Lucky they were not picked up by the Thai navy.

Maybe they were.

Oh I see.. Now I look closer.. How many lines are there? If every eligible person queued there it would be busier than the normal queue.

There are at least 2 manned counters and every time I passed through in no more than 5 mins. It is faster here than the outgoing fasttrack counters - because it's so much more difficult to locate.

i once tripped on the escalator at the bts, falling forward and planted my face directly into the rear-end of an office girl. not sure if she was excited or angry by my actions.

That depends on whether you were going down or not.

For the last few years street vendors are not allowed to open Mondays as it is a Bangkok city council law

Probably the only thing the last governor (Apirak) did was to void that law and implement cleaning every alternate Monday.

i'd definately write

I would say, postpone the English test - indefinitely.

How does one go about getting a work permit for acting?

Go here.

That's ok for outgoing. Incoming is where the confusion lies. They announce fast track arrival on the video on the plane when on approach to BKK, but don't say where it is. I usually join the normal queue having been careful to avoid the ones with Indian or Chinese groups loitering nearby waiting for their place holder to reach the front so they can all jump in.

If you look carefully, you'll find that it's the map for the Arrivals level. The long lines with numbers are the baggage carousels. The purple area shown by the arrow is the incoming fast track for TG business & gold card passengers.

Coming from a smoking monkey, that's a good point!

What's the matter human, coffee not strong enough for you?

Go here.
