Morally, it is everyone's business. Just like this site here, many times has provided useful information to users. So yes I do share what I know with people, some I know very little. But what they do with the information, is of course their decision, and their own business...

So this is about one's favorite food poisoning. There is no such thing as good food in Thailand, at least if someone is looking for healthy food. Nobody knows how to cook, nobody. Cheap bad oil, heated at a point where the oil gets toxic. Smell is horrible. Then laced with sugar, lots of it. The only way that they know to give anything a flavor. All sauces are loaded with white sugar. Good oil, nah, too expensive for any Thai kitchen here. I use exclusively olive oil at home, and sometimes coconut oil. Nothing else. So brace yourself for diabetes and arthritis. on the long run. The odd chicken with rice, (no sauce please). Otherwise, I will not eat any of that type of food. None. And my health got so much better. ???? Picture of sugar stock at Super Cheap mini mart, on stocking day, and then some 10 days later. Not even a need to bring the sugar inside the store...

Air pollution affects everyone. Some are just not aware of it....

Yes, and many times it the best way, fastest way, and cheapest way to get rid of a problem. They know it. And so should visitors here...

Seen once. Inexpensive way to look original. Copy, copy, copy.

So he is recommending that people stay inside to smoke their cigarettes... Thanks for that...????

Perhaps this was an affront to the penultimate level of authority in the realm of Immigration, actually by-passing the Official procedure for obtaining Non-Official Immigration services. Oh well, something like that... ????

No need for eyeglasses since then...

Wow, 100,000 bahts for the return of a cat. Careful if you have a family. Might get someone interested in kidnapping. Never know. Any kidnapper would know for sure that he would be looking at so many millions of bahts for a safe return.. Lock the doors... Or just buy a new pet...

I think that just about all tourist places in this world are already overdone. Of course, in order to have this perception, one must have a perception of what it was 'before'. Greek islands, Caribbeans, Mexico, France, Paris, Italy, Venice and Rome. Ah, what beautiful memories... But can never be the same, for anyone who listened to my experience, and would want to go and have the same experience for themselves. Too late. But after their own different experience, they will get others to try to get the same feeling... But also too late....

Emulation would noticeably reduce the male population here...

She was on the phone, only explanation. So may tourists I see here learn that there are no enforced laws on the roads, or just about. So tourists do the same as Thais. Driving, best time to text and make calls... The road laws that are enforced here are those that are meant to protect people from themselves, like road blocks to giving a fine to Mbike drivers not wearing a helmet. If there is some police work that does not make me feel safe on the roads, well, that is it. But one thing is certain, police like to do this kind of police work, because it can be done in total safety for themselves. When will police understand that the population provide salaries to police to get protection from others that have behaviors dangerous to them, to their children, to their family, and to drivers on the road. I really do not perceive a threat in Mbike drivers not wearing a helmet, none. And ticketing cars parked on the wrong side of the road, I never saw a threat in that either. But one nice activity that police do downtown here. Great work, safe at all times, and with 'benefits'.

"I just got off the bus".

Might very well be that the Immigration office in Chiang Mai is trying to direct you to an Agent. If so, best to go along with this type of concealed suggestion...

Never say never....

Looks like he relied more on his brain than the features of the truck... The brain wants to be ahead, wants to save some mili-seconds.. At any cost. The nature of the culture here. The vehicle is just Newtonian in nature.. Unfortunate.

We typically like what we know. I know both 'clutch and gearbox' and automatic, as I have used both extensively. So both options should feel simply 'automatic', to anyone who know both very well...

Try checking if your elbow joint rotates fully or not. The comparison is done by lowering the left hand to the side, then grabbing this left hand using the right hand, grabbing the left hand opposite the thumb, and rotating the arm outwards. Check how far it will rotate. Then do it for the other arm. If the arm that is painful does not rotate to the same degree as the healthy one, then your elbow joint might get locked at a given level of rotation. Calcium accumulation could prevent full rotation, which leads to joint inflammation. If so, grab again the hand, and use it to twist the arm forcefully outwards, repeatedly, in an attempt to get the joint to operate fully. Success would feel like the joint just skipped over the blockage. Kinda of difficult to explain, without mass... (From my chiropractor... )

"Black, white, yellow, no one knows". Might very well be that he put these 3 words in, so has not to appear 'racist'.

Some people just do not understand basic concepts. And so tempting to provide additional basic physical demonstration of the said concept. Simply helping these 'some people' in understanding. They should be thankful for being provided with teachings that most people have already learnt in their childhood. Never too late for basic teachings...

The local minus one standard deviation on the bell curve certainly does not help...

Let's put an end to parenting. Let's put an end to political agenda. Let's stop legal advice and psychological therapy, let's stop providing any advice whatsoever. Just in case someone does not welcome new ideas...

Is it morning already? Oh well, geez. Two eggs and a beer please....

He can only do better next time around,,,????

Well, I have seen what you refer to as a beautiful Wai gesture. Visiting my doctor. The phone rang. The doctor's voice changed, his voice tone changed, his movements changed. When his conversation was finished, I told him: "You must have a lot of respect for that person that you were talking to. He replied yes, she is an woman doctor, much older, that he holds in high esteem". So yes, one can see it, as I saw it one time in my 20 years here. One time. Now regarding a common mistake, regarding cultures, as if they were equivalent. Well, no, it is not so. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Irak, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Haiti, Nigeria, Cameroun, to name a few. Oh yes that they are very different.... I still see a wai as a way to diminish the psyche of children, preventing them to deal equally with adults. Keeping their minds in a state of juvenile. When I would talk to my son when he was an infant, I would kneel down so we we could talk on equal terms. Not so here...
