    R.I.P. NancyL

    I am so very sorry to read this! Condolences to her husband As so many have already said she was such a nice & helpful person & was always there to greet & help newcomers to Chiang Mai Chiang Mai has lost a real gem in her ????
  2. https://images.app.goo.gl/1rRqH5QHWfYcLXmk8 The J bend in the pipe holds water so sewer smells cannot backflow into home
  3. He wrote a song about it???? Like to hear it? Here it goes ????
  4. Yes of course but there are in fact levels & that is why a true justice system has levels of punishment Some get a slap on the wrist/warning some get the death penalty Look it is obvious you bought the T-shirt & your all in for Thailand great enjoy but To try & justify this kind of corruption is just a perfect example of how you yourself have been assimilated into accepting hit and run such as this It is also why even the religion of Thailand has had such a upswing in bad deeds. Whether it be monks raping or taking drugs or worse. Recently a whole Wat has has no monks or abbot as all were arrested for failing drug tests. Worse yet they were tested when snared in a drug trafficking ring. That likely meant they were also selling drugs But hey TIT right? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-63792923 Not wrong? Why? because it is taught in the same way you have been now taught...This is Asia...yada yada yada Sorry that is just BS wrong is wrong And the sad part is the moral fabric or what is left of it is now deteriorating faster than ever
  5. Are you actually trying to say he paid his way out so all should be forgiven?
  6. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4375556/Wanted-Red-Bull-heir-pictured-partying-hit-run.html Below is one example that article shows even more F1 appearances Vorayuth 'Boss' Yoovidhya, second left, whose grandfather co-founded energy drink company Red Bull, walks with his mother Daranee, second right, at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi on November 26, 2016
  7. This is why Thailand cannot escape the inherent corruption that permeates Thailand You put this case in front of grade school kids in any other country & ask if this minutia matters in light of their reluctance to just grab this POS Vorayuth It would be so easy to bring him to justice. Don't believe it? Put a bounty on his head. He will be returned this week to Thailand by one of many capable bounty hunters But no instead all this BS posturing use a scapegoat & yet not really as even he will not be prosecuted for his part in this cover up. Instead he will likely retire with a fat envelope for his willingness to take one for the team This in general is a big reason many no longer live full time in this corrupt hole. Yes it was always bad but even worse/more blatant since last coup. We all (hopefully) grow up get wiser & take off the rose colored glasses
  8. "AFAIK" is not saying much when a cheerleader declares it Yet many undeclared wars, puppet regimes, supplying weapons to the currently favored & drone strikes prove otherwise No need to "try & keep up" race has run & results are obvious thanks ????
  9. Israel has quite the track record themselves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_assassinations https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Kill-First-Targeted-Assassinations/dp/1400069718
  10. Sorry if already mentioned as I did not read all 5 pages but.... For myself one large benefit is for what ever reason stopping coffee really lowers my BP On coffee 145/90 off coffee 113/72 (averages) Could be I am one who is BP sensitive to caffeine I dont know? But I know I have tested it many times & yes lowers a lot if caffeine is stopped. It is not that I feel any bad effects from coffee/caffeine as I do not. But I have checked BP within 20 min of ingesting & always up quite a bit After days of 2-3 a day up all the time & the reverse is true when I stop a few days I am an avid cyclist & coffee is part of out routine so I go back & forth but yes I notice that in regards to BP
  11. With the current warmongering US Administration it is not hard to believe/expect this
  12. We arrived International with two stops in other countries. Both wife & I had the single original vaccine years ago because we thought that was the only way anyone would be allowed to travel Been here a month now neither of us got sick...So I guess it just depends on many thing eh ????
  13. Kind of like this ? https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3960192537/?playlistId=tt0113627&ref_=tt_pr_ov_vi
  14. Funny thing is if you go ask most Thai's why they are wearing them they do not say because of Covid or fear of spreading covid etc etc Instead the ones I've asked while out visiting friends in CM all say because people look at them funny when they don't. So basically they feel funny about judgemental folks like your OP so they go full sheep mode Yet back in the villages nearly zero mask usage here
  15. The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan has acknowledged that it invested $95 million U.S. (Cdn $126 million) into cryptocurrency exchange FTX that is now on the brink of insolvency. Ontario Teacher's pension fund to write down investments of $95 mln in FTX
  16. Gee why does that sound so familiar????? Ah right
  17. No for my wife & I We do love it here & have a home in the country that we are at now for our 3 months. But No it is far from saner. Then again we live in a nice spot when not in Thailand & we do not get all riled up about politics etc. In fact we don't watch TV although do have Netflix etc But yes when here we also spend time in Chiang Mai where we lived for 6 years previously & to take care of business like passport renewal etc. While there we really notice how insane it is here. Traffic,crazy drivers, sanitation lacking,road conditions,air quality Many things really & again we do love it but no it is nowhere near sane in any way. Other countries had real support during the whole covid mess & things like that were in reality small & look at how Thailand (lack of leadership as always) handled that? Imagine something much larger & how would that go ..especially for foreigners So yeah No vote from us ???? We love it & always will return but never again to live full time.
  18. I guess it was an 11 Nov 2022 event but not Russia starting main offensive but retreat Russia’s Kherson retreat marks tectonic shift in Ukraine war
  19. Here is a theory which of course is worth what you paid for it... We have just entered a true bear market There will be powerful rallies with in this crashing market A sustainable low will be at the end of 2024 where we will be coming out of a depression with the final lows in the housing markets The depression will hit food supplies & energy hard 2023 & 2024 is going to be very tough for most people. So lets get back together here on this topic in 2024 & see how these markets (& the world) did???? PS: bonus tip...Another theory (not mine) something big is coming 11/11/2022 Whether caused by midterm election results or Russian starting its main offensive we will see eh?
  20. Boy I see just the opposite With DJIA at 32k+ & Nas nearly 11k I am thinking major dump headed this way ????
  21. If they mean he was above social conflicts as in 1st place then I agree ????
  22. As others have said easy enough (usually just show translated marriage certificate) But realize the harder part is then she will need to change everything else Govt card Passport , drivers license etc etc Especially if as you say you were married outside of Thailand & plan to go back? Western Countries & especially USA need all ID's to match ticket name etc to travel
