She's nothing more that Daddy's proxy for Thai political power. In and of herself, she's not much. If Daddy goes, she won't be far behind.- 48 replies

Health Covid Chaos: Cases Surge to 67,484 in a Single Week in Thailand
connda replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why not Flu tests, Cold tests, RSV tests, pneumonia tests, herpes tests, Dengue tests, Hep A, B, C tests, HIV tests - why just Covid tests? Asking for an inquisitive friend. Never mind. My friend figured it out. After 5 years of this insanity, the Thai school officials still have an irrational fear of Covid, in other words, the pandemic hyperbole psychologically damaged generations of Thai citizens who will be spitting on test strips the rest of their live in mortal fear of a Sars-flu. Amazing! -

Spreading fear is part and parcel of what the media does. It sells copy. Fear of Covid still sells like hotcakes. -

51 deaths by Covid this year. Shut the airports, mandatory masking, everyone!!! 2 meters apart! Get the daily Covid Scoreboards working again on the media. Shut all non-essential businesses. Hide under the bed. Killer Covid is on a rampage again. Line up for your vaccinations.....oh, never mind - that was done last month by most Thai village hospitals. Well - go ask for another shot!!! 51 Covid deaths this year. About what Thailand kill off in one week on their roads, 'eh? -

Don't Eat Jew Food! Says Hamas leader from...Beirut
connda replied to Hanaguma's topic in Political Soapbox
It's generally eaten with flatbread with lime, olives, and grilled meat. But with that said, I'd rather eat Indian food. 👈 Not bland! -
It's a pretty good way to get killed. If you're depth perception is off, you can wrap that side cart around concrete poles on the side of the road. I've seen that happen in our village. Killed the guy. Best to start off just with the MC as there are a whole set of skills involved in learning how to correctly steer and gauge distances.

Can you drive a motorcycle? Can you teach him? I took classes in the US before getting my MC endorsement. That class gave the bare-bones minimum of knowledge about riding. Here in Thailand it seems it is though MC riding is genetic. If you're a Thai boy you know how to ride. The 80% of fatal accidents on Thai road that are MC related sort of belies that. Most Thais shouldn't be riding. To this day I'm just floored at the suicidal behavior of pulling out of side street and making a left-hand turn onto a road without even glancing to the right to see if there is any oncoming traffic. After my first close encounter with one of those suicidal morons, I bought a car camera. S**t like that happens wayyyyyy too often. When I rode a motorcycle I was 110% defensive, and yet it took three accidents in the first year of riding to wrap my head around how dangerous it is to ride here. Your kid, if he is taught how to drive by a competent Western rider should NEVER be seen doing things like pulling out into traffic without looking. So? Are you a competent Western motorcycle rider yourself, or is it just the blind leading the blind - toward a suicide motorcycle not-so-happy-ending?

I find it amusing that it seems most people my age (70+) completely forget what they thought and how they acted when they were teenagers. I have not. I remember it like it was yesterday. How I managed to survive past 20 is beyond me. <laughs>

....and the Ruskies are down to using shovels and sticks against well armed and highly trained Ukraine troops who are pushing the Rusies back to the Urals right now, as Russia struggles to extract IC chips from old North Korean washing machines to fabricate their inaccurate missiles which only targets and kills Ukrainian civilians in unending war crimes. And most Ruskies can't find food in their stores as all Russian taxes are now used to manufacture bullets and guns which are in short supply due to bone-crushing sanctions. That Zelinsky is playing a strategic game of bleeding the Ruskie orcs on the battlefield, toying with them like a cat does a crippled mouse, as Trump begs Ukraine to stop the slaughter of the Ruskie animals and give them a chance to crawl back to Moscow where they'll surely overthrow Putin and send him to the Hague to face war crimes. Yep - really bad news for the Ruskie Red Army - commie bastards. Millions of dead Ruskies strews across the Ukrainian steppes as Trump holds the Ukrainians back from dealing a coup de grace of death and destruction to the Russian population of insects and sub-human slavs and cossacks who don't deserve to live for their crimes and aggression. Grrrr. If America annexed Canada, brave Canadian and America patriots can drive Westward though Alaska and across the Bering Strait and take it to Putin and Ivan right on his home turf, then Canadian Americans can annex all the mineral wealth or North Eastern Russia and make Siberia the 52nd State!!!

Report British Holidaymaker Dies in Bangkok: A Mother’s Heartfelt Warning
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Nope - a lot of us have participated in this circus in the past and can vouch for the two dead UK adult's stupidity or utter ignorance. I'll go for the former in this case. When I came to Thailand 18 years ago, I stayed away from all illegal drugs. I knew the consequences. What I might have indulged in back in the West where a lot of these substances might have gotten you a misnomer "ticket" if the cops and the local DA even cared, would in turn get you hard prison time here. If adults who do drugs are so daft as to not understand drug laws in the foreign countries they visit - well - there are consequences. Prison and Death are two of those. There is nothing "after the event" to that. Whether is is in Central London, South Central LA, Seattle, Copenhagen, Bangkok, or Koh_Wherever, there are some things that are just stupid that you don't do. And you know your limits. And you know and understand the laws and consequences. You understand the drug scene and how it works where you chose to participate. If you don't? Don't. If you do and die or go to prison, don't complain. -

Report British Holidaymaker Dies in Bangkok: A Mother’s Heartfelt Warning
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Mummy seems to be oblivious to the street drug trade in her own backyard. So? Why come to Thailand and moan about street drugs? That doesn't make sense to me. Her daughter, had she lived, had a greater chance of OD'ing in the UK. "Thailand has dangerous street drugs that will kill you." UN and WHO Estimates: The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and World Health Organization (WHO) estimate Thailand’s drug-related mortality is lower than the UK’s per capita, primarily due to different drug use patterns and stricter enforcement. In 2019, WHO estimated Thailand’s drug use disorder mortality rate at roughly 1–2 deaths per 100,000 people for illicit drugs, compared to Scotland’s 21.4 or England’s 6.2 per 100,000 in 2023. Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2725037/ Mummy, that would never happen in the UK. Now would it? Looks like mummy is on a crusade to attack the horrible drug problems in Thailand while ignoring the higher incidence of drug problems in the UK. I do find it interesting that higher numbers of drug deaths in the UK sort of highlights the fact that drug abuse may be more endemic among UK youth and adults - like her dear Rebecca - who then comes to Thailand and continue that pattern. Makes me wonder what Rebecca's drug consumption was like back in the UK? Did the dear girl have a cocaine habit that followed her to Thailand? You don't just wake up one morning and say, "Hummm I thing I'll find a drug dealer and buy some Thai cocaine to snort." This ain't my first rodeo - I've been around that scene at her age, but I sure as hell would not come to Thailand and indulge in drugs outside of cannabis which is now legal. Back when it was illegal I stayed away from it too. Why - first it's illegal and prison sucks in Thailand, and second, you don't have a clue what your "white powder" contains. Thailand IS NOT a cocaine hub. It is a hub for methamphetamine and heroin and rave drugs like X. If you're doing drugs like what you believe to be cocaine in Thailand, you're almost 100% sure to have been doing cocaine and other "party drugs" (X analogues) back at home. And those doing those drugs back in the UK know dealers who can generally vouch for the authenticity of whatever you're snorting. You come to Thailand an buy "white powder" from Somchai_Nobody and you die. No surprise there. There is only one person responsible for that. The "snortee." Come to Thailand, enjoy the liberal cannabis laws, stay away from the crap you consume back in the UK (or other Western countries). Have a beer, smoke a joint, enjoy your vacation. If your adult "child" dies from hard drugs in Thailand - it's not Thailand's fault. Sorry - brutal truth, but there you have it! -

This is old news. Seen it before. Don't do drug cocktails. If you die, it's your own stupidity. Sorry mom. At 36 your kids are full grown adults. There are consequence to actions. Like death. Your kid f'ed up. Other 30 somethings will come to Thailand and do the same thing regardless of your dire warnings. Nothing you say is gonna change the behavior of an adult who wants to walk on the wild side and ends up dead.
