I know its a long shot, But is it possible to get a taxi from Taxi from Suvarnabhumi Airport  to Yasothon and if so, Do you have any details  on who to get , I know its a long drive and it will be expensive, But with the way that Thai smile charges for extra baggage and then waiting for a flight to Ubon Ratchatani  then getting transport to Yasothon, it maybe better to pay a taxi driver . Maybe many won't be keen because it would be hard to get a return fare, Another possibility is to get a taxi to Buriram and then get a local taxi to take us to Yasothon .

 

Tank you for any advice  

Why not fly to Buriram?

"Schoolchildren"? No mention of age.

An interesting life, for sure.

I might enjoy living there, maybe.

 

The only problem for me would be ensuring stable internet access with no downtime due to power outages.

Such a thing could be achieved, and may become more accessible as satellite-based internet offerings become more popular.

 

 

My router is plugged into a UPS. Laptop has battery life over 4+ hours.

No internet downtime.

Cold showers, menthol talcum powder, cold drinks, sit outside in the shade with a fan. Thai style.

At night, aircon at about 25c.

Sorted. Electric bills around 1500 a month.

Our dogs eat the same as we do. My wife makes extra so there are plenty of left overs. 

Our 2 dogs are now 12 and 11 years old and in great health.

The agreement last time was there would just be ONE referendum , one referendum and that would be it . 

   No second referendums to ask again .

ONE referendum and thats it 

Are you talking about Brexit or Scottish independence? ????????????

The Liberal Democrats are outside your fact free sphere.

They tried it. " We will reverse Brexit". At the same time their leader stood there saying " I can't believe I'm standing here as a candidate for UK PM". She lost her seat. 

Please show me where Ed Davey has said he will rejoin or hold a referendum. A link to the Lib Dem manifesto for 2024 GE will suffice. We are talking facts after all.

That's because I didn't assume what you say I did.

The first time the child was touched. was the time I described in the shop where the guy went straight in and did it and I responded in kind. And the second time it in a massage shop where there was a guy and his wife just sitting around, and for some reason the guy instigated some kind of touching with little Dang where he went for a quick pinch. And as I’ve said before Dang has been doing this to me I’ve late and I just decided in that split 2nd to let it go. As I am aware, it is cultural that is carried out, and I just thought you know what this is my favourite massage shop and I’m not gonna make a problem right now considering Dang has been trying to grab my dick for the last week unsuccessfully. 
 

Actually I did have a problem in that shop as we left as I described before, but I’ll mention it again where that man and a friend of his who later came into the shop, decided to start talking about Dang’s hair being too long. And then, when I challenged them about the fact that there is nothing wrong with his hair being longer than the US Marine haircut that some children get. This idiot, who had a feeling he might be cleverer than me decided to say yeah, but what about hair lice. Oh so are all the girls going to have the same cut as well because they’re all in the same classroom, I assume they’ve all got hair lice, then as their hair is long? He had absolutely no answer for this, in fact he had his mouth open with no answer. 
 

The fact of the matter is, I’ve come to realise that Thailand is a country that loves repetition of everything. It repeats the same festivals and the same culture constantly. That’s not a problem to me. The hair style of young boys is another tradition. 
 

 

On the hair cut thing I’m gonna post a couple of pics of the hair. I know this is a police state and everything but if I hadn’t of insisted in his hair being grown out we would never have the photos of his hair being not of a marine. Who are the local government and the wishes of some local idiots to deprive us of this. To actual have the gaul to instruct parent that a boys hair has to be removed while a girls can grow is ridiculous.  
 

As soon as I left the girlfriend has it all his cut off to please the people who can’t stop poking their nose in saying when’s he getting his hair cut. She will go along with anything that is the norm and will not rock the boat. Although she is one of the very few that never entertained the vaccine so she has that in her favour, unfortunately not out of reasoned internal discussion or the fact that all the old people in the village a year after the outbreak from one country away were still alive unvaxed, but more out of … she didn’t fancy it. 
 

 

 

How strange. Someone who claims to have been in and out of Thailand and Isaan for so many years, knows so little about the culture, way of life and rules.

exactly, Economists are not intelligent enough to do decent theories, just the art of 'keep the dumb plebs in eternal debt'.......echoes of Rothschild's 'give me control of a nations money and I care not who makes the laws'........anyway, good luck with the UKs bankruptcy ????

Once again, you seem extremely confused.

i agree, all eCONomists I've ever read and spoken to think they can defy the basic laws of maths..........and all appear to think the solution is 'print to infinity'.....jeez ????

Once again, someone who seems confused.

"print to infinity" is not based on any Economic theory.

Is it too much to hope that in the capital city of a G7 nation the number of people sleeping rough and/or having to resort to food banks would be decreasing rather than increasing.

Presumably you understand that? I certainly don't.

The "you did refer" should read "you didn't refer". Sorry for the typo.

You should understand now, although you'll probably choose not to.

In an ideal world, the students would have facts presented to them first by the teachers. Covering the difficult issues of racism, discrimination, gender issues.

 

Then is the time for presentations from students, once they have those facts.

 

BUT this is Florida, where some books on the holocaust are banned, hundreds of others banned including an Anne Frank book. Gender issues banned, lessons on some race-related concepts banned.

 

No wonder the students are ignorant to the facts. The teacher who allowed this thankfully resigned.

 

 

The students were asked to make a presentation about any subject.

That is why the teacher did not present any facts before hand. Impossible to present facts about everything.

I quoted your post in full, so I can hardly be accused of not taking it into account!

 

In any event, it's hardly my fault if the phrasing of your posts is ambiguous.

I will explain once more.

The post that I quoted, in my original post, clarifies my wording in said original post. 

Indeed, you quoted my post in full. You did refer to the post I quoted, which is obviously relevant to my reply to said quoted post. Thus, negating your call of my post being ambiguous.

Your original post:

 

"No they haven't. I'm in UK now. Things looking OK. Can't see any evidence of destruction."

 

I would suggest that the sentence "Things looking OK." is fairly categoric rather than comparative, even within the context of the whole paragraph.

Once again you have neglected to take into account the post I quoted.

I'm not that fussed to be honest as it makes your posts look rather picky and foolish.

Just now, RayC said:

I didn't claim that it equaled "destruction". I was taking issue with your description that, "Things (are) looking ok".

Things are looking OK compared to the post I quoted. The one that suggested the Tories had "destroyed our home country".

Please try to read whole posts and quoted posts before wading in.

I always thought I was saying "no suitable candidate" 

In a vote where the only candidates were "Yes" or "No", that is unlikely.

Just now, stoner said:

the lot of them meaning those in this story. thought that was painfully clear. 

Unfortunately, no. 

Your wording suggested " one who wears a holy robe". As in anyone. There was no reference to those committing crimes.

You wrote "the British do what we do" as if to imply that brexit had the majority support of the country. At least, that was what I inferred.

 

If, however, you did not intend to suggest that brexit had the support of the majority of the electorate then I humbly apologise.

Those that don't vote are basically saying " what ever happens, happens". They are, therefore, happy to go with the result. 

Therefore, the 52-48 vote is what they went with.

I remember studying maths at school. I believe over 50 out of 100 is a majority. If you can prove that wrong, please do.
