    I agree, except for the scary bit. It's great fun.

    Trump would tear her to shreds in a debate.

    The Dems are screwed, whatever they do.

    The next four months are going to be very entertaining.

    Coincidences springing up like mushrooms.

    Says the lying media. If a critical number of people think the system is broken, then the system is broken.

    Where did you see Biden was exiting?

    Very true!

    Okay, I'm sure it does happen. I've often asked staff about stuff at Home Pro and Thai Watsadu and never had a straight out "mai mee". To me, it seems what the OP is describing is the awkward "no have" that Thais will say when they are out of their comfort zone facing a farang, but I could be wrong.
  11. rattlesnake
    They tend to do this with farangs because they are not confident enough in their English speaking abilities and are scared of embarassment. The solution to that problem is to learn to speak Thai, I'm pretty sure you will get a lot less "mai mee".

    That doesn't mean you can't do it :) It's usually the mountain bikers who wear them, but given the environmental danger in Thailand, I believe it is justified even for a road bike, but each to their own of course.
  13. rattlesnake
    It isn't that impractical, it's just that nobody is used to wearing them. They are pretty light, from what I remember of my mountain biking days a couple of decades ago. Agree with you about the Thai driving rules, I literally have two driving brains, one for here and one for back home.
  14. rattlesnake
    I doubt a typical Thai would blame the UK government for it, it's not in their mentality.

    I'm always baffled by the amount of Westerners who drive motorbikes with no helmet here. It's a good indicator that they probably have no formal training from their home countries.

    It's more of a mountain biking accessory, but if I was cycling in Thailand I would definitely wear one.
  17. rattlesnake
    It's a good idea to wear a full-face on a bicycle, almost half of impacts are around the chin and face area.

    Sugar.

    Animal fat is good for you.

    And easy on the needles.
  21. rattlesnake
    We all know what is causing it.
  22. rattlesnake
    It is nothing short of fascinating, the amount of posters here who think Thais are inferior yet are long-time Thailand residents.
  23. rattlesnake
    No, but given you have just dropped the below gem, I will not attempt to reason with you.

    Indeed, hence my earlier insistance on parenting being the most important, before the "education" system. As long as there is the will to do well, it generally works out, and it seems you and your ex want to do well so I would tend to think you will be okay (though it will probably be a bumpy ride, as raising a child – especially from two different cultures – always is).

    He can and should do what he feels is right, which neither you or I know.
