Here in Khon Kaen just before the recent changes the police were actually doing a good job of it at the traffic lights nicking red light jumpers . Now unfortunately they seem to have gone back to their old ways. Sigh

If thats the channel line up I think I'll buy a book !

bout time we had some in khon Kaen, dry as a nun knickers.

I have had Nissan Toyota cars before here. All second hand and have had very few problems with them. In my opinion the best was the Toyota Soluna (Circa 1997).

Unless you have more money than sense why buy a new car, the price of cars here is extortinate I'd rather invest the money in bricks n mortar.

Keeps getting overcast in the afternoons here in Khon Kaen and have had sporadic thunderstorms with localised showers but no real rain as yet here in Khon Kaen city.

Well after 26 years and .. err well quite a few coupes this one seems well organise and so far ( touch wood n whistle ) bloodless. Lets hope it stays that way.

ind you if the keep the tv off I can see my old lady and her mates marching to war .

Try getting a gas bottle delivered at 10.30 pm half way through cooking a roast lol

He is just small fry.

Since I've been here ( 1988) the same people have basically been the core of all governments. the answer may lie in term limits such as they have in the USA, coupled with strict neopatsm laws would help.

I've been here for 26 years and am fluent in Thai and am familiar with Thai culture and customs and believe me I play the dumb/angry Falang more now than when I first got here especialy when it comes to mother-inlaws ect. lol

After an upcountry trip I always de- tick and worm my dog , my wife and myself

Never mind those ATM rip offs. Bangkok Bank and perhaps others ( I only have A bangkok Bank account ) charge 50 Baht a month if you use a savings account as a bank account ie make multiple withdrawals. As anyone who has tried to open a chequing account knows this is not an option so the fee they charge is unfair to say the least and extortion in truth. The problem of opening a real chequing applies to Thai's as well.

In answer to all of your questions,

No N No you will probably go mad through shear boredom.

Does not Thailand have an extradion treaty with Myannmar ?

Well you dont have to be Sherlocke Holmes to figure that one out lol

I never seem to have any problems at Immigration but then again I take so many copies of everything I need a bloody cart to carry them( and yes they always find one thing not right need new copy lol )

In a democracy you dont throw your toys out of the pram .. so to speak if you lose. The correct course of action is to campaign and try to win the next time there is an election.

MMM ... Ice truck + overloading + dodgy brakes ( they always got dodgy brakes) = inability to stop in time

Interesting choice of alternative protest sight.. A shooting range.. T.I.T.

And ?????

The transport thugs are in on the bank business too? Seriously, why would they CARE about an ATM machine?

perhaps they where skimming it
