Finding the Best Deals in Thailand
Haggling over a price in the markets is all part of the fun of a market visit. I learnt that lesson in Chiang Mae over 30 years ago. A very nice tooled leather belt with a buckle I really liked. 500b was the price quoted. I paid 300b which at that time would have been £6:70. I still have that leather belt, but it is now too short.

EU-Thailand Pact: Visa-Free Access for Thai Passport Holders
I believe they have come to that conclusion already. They are also looking at ways to deport thousands of illegal immigrants, after Merkal opened the door to at least a million.

I will give it a miss if they don't mind. I may be getting on in life, but I would continued in that vain thanks.

Police Spring into Action as Thailand's Pattaya Eateries Face Disruption
It was the headline which attracted my attention. 'Police Spring into Action'. I mean, could they? Would they? A little more than exaggeration I believe.

Last will and testament and inheritance laws with assets in Thailand and abroad?
If you make a Will to cover the assets held in Thailand, then the laws of Thailand apply, if said Will was drawn up in Thailand. If you make a Will in a foreign country, drawn up in that foreign country, then the laws of that country apply. If you should make a Will in Thailand to cover ALL assets world wide, the laws of Thailand apply, but all Wills can be contested by any or all beneficiaries. I have a Will to cover my few assets in Thailand, drawn up by a Thai lawyer. I have another Will to cover assets in the UK, drawn up by solicitors in the UK. Both state quite clearly that neither can make a claim against the other.

During our Extremely HOT Season: Have you been suffering from, the Curse of Knowledge?
A lobotomy! I have to say, it was not a very good job. Do you think you could have a word with the surgeon, perhaps he could do a better job the second time around?

Global Warming still Confusing You?: Don't know Albedo from Albino???
"According to the attached link, more than 61,000 people died from heat-related causes in Europe alone, in 2022." Not surprising when most of the 'heat' related causes were due to the lack of gas to heat the houses. That was about the time Gazprom collapsed I believe?

Well, you didn't answer the question as to how you would know I didn't read the article. Or was that just an assumption? Which would let you off the hook.

That heatwave isn't normal
If extreme CO2 is the cause of the temperatures rising, why are the not more trees and plants which thrive on CO2? Also, if CO2 is the problem, why is the global population increasing, when high concentrations of CO2 would be deadly to all animal life?

That heatwave isn't normal
As to electric cars, not at the price of a replacement battery thanks. Stop eating meat and we will be over run with cows, pigs, chicken and other edible animals. Cut down on the population and we may have a chance.

Global Warming still Confusing You?: Don't know Albedo from Albino???
You suggest I didn't read the item. How would you know I didn't? The article was a link to a 'news paper', how is that evidence? Most, if not all 'news papers' print what will sell, and global warming is all the rage at the present time. Thailand is experiencing high temperatures at present, as is much of S.E.A. Much of Europe is having extremes of hot and cold weather at this time, it is not unusual in both instances. The sun has had extremes of plasma ejections recently, could that not have an impact on the earths climate? And the main reason, if any sea level increases would be so much rubbish being dumped into it. Multi-million tons of rubbish displaces multi-million tons of water, or is that a fallacy? And as stated earlier, the Maldives are still there.

Not to worry. Mars will be set up and running to take the overflow in 30yrs.

Global Warming still Confusing You?: Don't know Albedo from Albino???
Where is the sea rising? I would find the answer very interesting, as where I used to live in the UK is a seaside town. The sea levels are the same at high and low tide as they were 70 years ago. A webcam shows the high and low water mark on the habour wall, and the only slight change is due to the phase of the moon. Webcams all along the promenade give the same 24h picture so, where is the sea rising? Oh, and the Maldives haven't sunk yet!

Same Same but different ?
Brings to mind 'Knees up Mother Brown'. What a rotten song, what a rotten singer too. I gave it 30 seconds and that was too much. My dog howls along to music and sounds much better.
