My tailor wouldn't slap me because I'm not a farang woman - I slap back.

Pressure cooker - perfect cooked dried beans within 20 to 35 minutes depending on the type of bean.

A box of Cheeze-Its. 450 THB. A box of Cream of Wheat. 550 THB. Raisens. 350 THB I just don't buy this stuff anymore. I buy locally produced products. Like my raisins are about 100 THB for half a kilo. Much better. Things like Cheeze-Its and Cream of Wheat - they're a thing of the past.

Solution? Keep your seat-belt on while seated. I do. When I was a private pilot I didn't take my seat-belt off just because I had reached cruising altitude. So why do it in a passenger plane?

"Well there ain't no time to wonder why, Whoopie! We're all gonna die!" - Country Joe and the Fish

Did they quadruple the price for dirty foreigners?

So the airport monopolies get the nod from their connected friends in government. How about the rest of the bars and restaurants in Thailand. Oh! Silly me. They don't have the proper connections!

Other than being notorious for sucking valves on the third cylinder. However with that said, I owned two back in the day and could do my own maintenance on them easy-peazy. Solid vehicles for the most part.

So the opposite side of the uni-party coin wins the day. What changes? Nothing.

I'm sure the conversion will be amazing. All of the anti-gun club suddenly become Second Amendment advocates and wannabe gun owners when the invading horde enters Thailand and begins to execute Westerners. <laughs>

Your friendly Western embassy will send a car to pick you up and transport you to an awaiting flight out of the country. Not!

It's a free market. Have the government throw money at the problem only increases the inflationary pressure. Let the market shake out those who can't compete.

Gone in 15 minutes or less.

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." - Harry S. Truman

The slogan, "Trust The Science" is a euphemism which means, "Only Trust Your Government And The Main-Stream Media, And The Scientists Who They Tell You To Trust."

I don't see this (or any candidate for that matter) as a "threat to democracy." However - I do see Biden's diminished cognitive state as being a national security risk. "The lights are on but nobody's home." Who is running the country? And this is the guy with the US nuclear code-book and his finger on the trigger? That's not a good thing. Imho the guy needs to be removed from office, either voluntarily or via the 25th Amendment, and Harris promoted to the presidency. And I'm not a Harris fan but at least she isn't cognitively and physically impaired.

They all have been gaslighting the US public over his cognitive decline for years. Yet we are suppose to believe that over the period of the last week they have suddenly become aware of his dementia? More gaslighting.

Which is why you use a motorcycle if living in Chiang Mai.

Which is unenforced out in the rice-field boondocks of rural ❤️ Thailand.

Apples don't fall far from the tree.

Or CIA assets.

You forgot nose-hair tweezers.

I suggest heading for Antarctica as it may be the only place on earth not affected. But then again, maybe not.

I'm not going anywhere. If the US and the West finally provoke a war with China - I'm staying. My family is here. However, ardent China-haters probably should have a "go-bag" as well as giving their Western embassies their contact information so you'll be informed when the flights begin to leave Thailand. US generals seem to be promising war with China in the next 5 years. Better have a "go-bag."

They will just take it to the bottom of the ocean and that will be that. If they can't enforce hull integrity on a corvette, then they'll sink the sub in no time flat for sure. It takes discipline to set out to sea. The HTMS Sukhothai fiasco tells you everything you need to know about discipline in the Thai navy. Status-conscious Thai officers who acquire their commissions by virtue of their wealthy families don't necessarily make good commanders. Speaking as ex-USN. Been there, done that. And I don't see any purpose to a Thai sub program as there is no national security reason for it. Who are they defensing against? Rhohinga boat refugees?
