Military-backed senators refuse to back MFP form a government
marin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As I posted yesterday being done as I type via social media. Line and Twitter in particular, Once the details have been gathered photos and text will be shared on FB and Instagram. These senators have absolutely no idea of the power of social media today. -
Military-backed senators refuse to back MFP form a government
marin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You must have missed the street protests of 2021. Thousands in the streets. More than 1000 young kids arrested and locked up for this since the protests began. Including a number of teenagers who were not yet 18. Because of democracy you have the right to an opposing view something the protesters did not. But dinosaurs will soon see the old guard is in decline and the progressives who want a life better than their parents had are looking to achieve just that. When the ruling elite only gets a quarter of the votes cast while the progressive opposition get the rest its a clear sign its time for a change. -
Groups urge Senate to back Thai majority’s choice for PM, Pita Limjaroenrat
marin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Already begun, Thai social media is full of it. Just getting names addresses and phone numbers now. Where do they shop, eat, fill their car with petrol and the such are active topics. -
Ao Nang??? Dirty tourist town with little local food. Krabi town is beautiful. This is a very strange list.

No he did not. In fact nothing like that. Share a link to back up your post please.

I found that to be the case with the British. Look at Spain with the Costa Del Sol, not only the food, but the whole experience is just British. In general not much interaction with the Spanish. I also find some British have trouble with anything the least bit spicy.

Why the idealistic boy won, and why he has to keep his feet on the ground
marin replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Perfectly stated. Everything that Chuan built up Abhisit destroyed exactly the way Mojo said. -
Thai females average weight now 63kg!!!!
marin replied to sidjameson's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
For adolescents its fast food but add to that the sugar laden diet. All sorts of sweet carbonated drinks, bubble tea, the sweet "Western" deserts. Diabetes is becoming a major health concern here directly linked to sugar. They do not exercise unless actively involved in a sport. -
In the context of debate. In my opinion as you also said, you should look up the Thai term "Salim" as you personify the word. Yes you are entitled to your opinion, probably more so with the new government coming in, but that is how you would be viewed by progressive Thai's and myself for your political stance.

BS. Some of us call the place home. We have money invested here. No we can't vote but we can express our opinion and revel in the fact that Prayuth, the military and the family clans that have dominated Thai politics for countless decades have finally been put in their place.

Move Forward Scores Surprise Victory; Pita To Become PM
marin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Ultra-royalist group Thai Move Institute's worst case scenario. 250 junta-appointed senators not voting for Move Forward PM candidate Pita (due to his party's policy to amend the lese majeste law), thus enabling caretaker PM Gen Prayut to stay on indefinitely Wont happen, MF and PT have the votes to negate the senate. -
Same thing happened in Don Muang. Karun Keng" Hosakul was defeated by a MF candidate. Ending right at 30 years of controlling the district under various party banners.

Make your own baked beans (cheap and easy)
marin replied to BritManToo's topic in Western Food in Thailand
I use Pinto beans and use a spicy Cajun recipe. For me much better than the sweet "baked beans". Has just what you said. -
Transpac yes, I have stopped many a time in Taipei, But you do not fly backwards mate. TPE/BKK/LHR.

Rawai will also have the best Thai food. Most of the other is made for a western palate.

He went the opposite way. ????

Anyone else notice the OP likes to start these goofy threads then never post again. Must have four or five at least now. -
Enough of you. You have never been to BKK hospital its quite obvious. Yet you go on and on on and on with nothing.

You said Bangkok Hospital, you mimicked a Thai doctor speaking English poorly in your post. Bangkok hospital is a leading International hospital in all SEA. They speak over 10 languages there, in fact they may well have more international patients than Thai. One reason might well be the prices, but a good insurance company will cover all. There are at least 4 other hospitals here in BKK that provide right at the same level of service. I am sorry if you have not had the same experience but going by your posts I dont believe you ever were in Bangkok hospital as even the doormen speak English well. Its a damn good job for all employed there.
