    Interestingly they  show recovery 'rate' and a fatality 'rate'.  As of now:

      Recovery rate = 9.77%

      Fatality rate   = 2.26%

     

    Good luck getting this monster, you have a 9.77% chance of recovering.

    prolly a typo, if death is 2.26 recovery should be 97.7% ... yea I shiver when I see my my stock portfolio.. it's cold at that altitude!

    They would be quite useless anyway if they don't speak english tho...

     

    There's not enough decent thai english speaking dive instructors in thailand, but i guess thailand doesnt need tourism anymore...

    ...or French, Japanese, Hebrew etc.  ... the classroom part of the dive course is technical. no way thais can manage a dive industry without foreigners.

  3. old thread... but anyway, when my friend offed himself in the hills, they found his remains and stored them at the morgue and his family in the U.S. gave me consent to dispose of him, I bought a pressboard box casket, hired a truck picked up his odiferous corpse and delivered it to a "wat men" a bit north of town. Bought monk robes, flowers etc. as instructed by the head monk, 4 of them chanted a bit, rolled the box into the "oven" ... returned the next day with a couple friends and was presented with a pile of bone fragments , many identifiable.  A fellow wrapped them in white cloth and pushed on the bundle crushing and crunching the bones for a few moments and then handed over.  We carried about half kilometer to the Mae Ping and placed it in the water. .... so yea, it is done that way.  ..total cost about 6,000 baht

  4. I agree with the OP, but I think sanuk is not dead, it is only sleeping, these are more seious times, also the affect of smart phones, people do not interact as much, strangers used to talk, and laugh on public transpot and in cafes, now they stare at their mobile.

    Everything should be sanuk to me was reflected in the reality that many people work long hours seven days a week so their interaction with customers was also a social time, time to make a joke, be a little silly. It still happens, you want sanuk? be sanuk.
