  1. Unfortunately, these dinosaurs are backed by the corrupt big businesses and the super rich elite who are terrified of any changes.
  2. Agreed. Thankfully, I find that there are a lot less road rage incidents in Thailand than in most 'civilised' countries. Usually, a cock/up end with a meek smile and a Wai.
  3. The hasty decision is possibly a parting gift from the outgoing PM. After all, the EC is in his pocket.
  4. A very sad event for all of those that want to see democracy in Thailand. Millions of disappointed people. We need a meteor to strike the place where the dinosaurs live.
  5. All foreigners must be reported to immigration. (TM 30) The law has been in place more than 40 years. Maybe read up on it? https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=1690
  6. I raised the head of the bed by about 3 inches. No more acid reflux. Drinking water before bed helps as well.
  7. Do not worry. Rain should stop tomorrow and things should be better by Wednesday. We had a good downpour Friday night for a couple of hours and now we are back to drizzle. Samui needs a couple of months of this before we see improvements but as you say, plants are happy. https://www.windguru.cz/30397
  8. Design - OK. Construction - ???
  9. A fancy word for sending innocent children to a war zone.
  10. I cannot say for sure in your neck of the woods, but here on Samui, neighbours, friends and myself all avoid using DHL. Many times in the past, there are additional 'taxes and charges' that they will not provide a receipt for. They are agents, not the real deal so there is no comeback.
  11. We too are desperate for rain down here in Samui.
  12. This is not just a TG thing. My daughter stopped speaking to me when I married my second wife who was only a few of years older then her. Wife #2 was English.
  13. Shepherd Neame used to be one of my customers back in the day when I had a proper job. Really nice people and excellent beers. I am not surprised that the Singha won if they are brewing it. https://www.shepherdneame.co.uk/beer
  14. More importantly, was the rebar that was used in the re-enforcing, the same spec as was designed?
  15. Well said. ???? It has been the law here for at least the last 50 years. Just that a lot of foreigners ignore it.
  16. Definitely be careful of these things. They bite - big time. I trod on one by accident a few years back. (It was at night.) The front of my foot covered half of it (It was about 7 inches long) but the front half of the beastie rolled back and bit me. Not poisonous but the infection......???? The next morning, I could see the infection in my leg - heading north and VERY painful. I was on strong antibiotics for 10 days.
  17. As far as I can remember, these jobs have always been banned for foreigners.
  18. Well done the Office of the Basic Education Commission. Taking innocent children and throwing them into harms way. ☹️
  19. We have just had a few light showers here on Samui all year. I tried to perform a rain dance last night but the neighbours told me to put my clothes back on and go inside. ????
  20. It is usually the parents who are desperate for money. I have read of a number of cases where this has happened in the Philippines, Cambodia and Indonesia. Sometimes, one of the parents will record the terrible acts for the adult committing them. Sad and very evil.
  21. At least Prawit does not say or do anything stupid when he is asleep. Leave him be.
