  1. Like outdated laws restricting the sale of alcohol?
  2. They should have left it up to farangs. A Flip-Flop A Day Keeps The Tourists Away!
  3. In this xenophobia atmosphere of visceral hatred of all things Chinese by such a large number of Western expats (I find this beyond sad and I don't share the anti-Chinese sentiment), for me Sinovac and Sinophram are the only vaccines I want while I wait for the rollout of Novavax.
  4. It's called immune escape and is caused by leaky vaccines, ie, vaccines that are not 'sterilizing vaccines' who provide the recipient with full immunity. All the current crop of Covid vaccines are "leaky", none are sterilizing vaccines (I wish they were), and as such they facilitate immune escape. That sucks. And around and around we will go. Close your eyes, plug your ears - but that won't make it go away.

  5. Kratom has been taken off the table and the prisoners releases. If the same was done for marijuana (remember Anutin? 6 plants per family "Hah! bs) then they'd empty out half their prisons.
  6. If I had a time machine I would have stayed in Thailand through 2008 and then vacated to a county which actually want's retirees.
  7. Dolphin Roundabout New Development So they are going to build a circular pool and stock it with dolphins? Flipper should be happy as a clam! "Ek ek ek ek ek! Chit chit chit chit chit." <flips in the air>
  8. The government put the tourism industry on a 5ml midazolam/5ml morphine drip since last April. What do they expect? You gotta allow the patient to get up and walk or else you'll lose them completely.
  9. Any guy who beats a woman should be tied to a chair and the victim allowed to flog him until they tire out. In public.
  10. It's not 'the nature of a massage business.' <deleted>. I've know a lot of Thai women personally who work in that trade and I've never heard of one being physically attacked and raped. It's a total one-off. They should let Joe Farrari have a half and hour with this poor excuse for a human being.
  11. Now referred to as a digital identity and a Covid Passport. "May I see your papers please!"
  12. I've lived here close to 15 years and have never heard of "the fearful myth of 'be careful' <when> acknowledging other farang." First off, I don't 'acknowledge' farang on the street anymore than I 'acknowledge' a native Thai or Indian or African or Asian or Islanders who just happen to be walking in my vicinity. Why? Well sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. It really depends on context. In the city on the city streets - probably not. In the village on the village roads - probably so. It's my community. I'll exchange pleasantries with anyone regardless of ethnicity. However while touring in tourist location (like Pai) I may strike up a conversation while at a bar (remember those things pre-Covid) because bars and alcohol tend to lead to interesting conversations. However with that said - I have never had anyone other than Thais try to hit me up for money. Not one.
  13. It's patently discriminatory but according to the court - "Fleece the foreigners its good for the country." TIT. Imagine the howls of "discrimination" should any Western country specifically target foreigners for the fleecing. Imagine a Thai green card holder walking into the North Hollywood hospital and being handed an inflated bill because "your not an American." The screams would be heard in Bangkok. Here? It's Ok with the court - fleece the foreigners.
  14. See if you can find a member here who knows how to resistance train. Essentially find a workout partner who can guide you through the use of the equipment and to establish a routine, and perhaps even a training diet. I'd offer to do it myself, but unfortunately I don't live in Chiang Mai. Traveling to CM is a full day trip. But perhaps some other member could assist?
  15. How long can PM Prayut remain in power? For his entire life.
  16. W.....t......f with f*** representing a term that can be used as an infinitive, present and past participle, conjugations, present continuous, present perfect, present perfect continuous, simple past tense. past continuous, past perfect perfect continuous, simple future, future continuous, and future perfect tenses! I'd provide examples but..... you know.... I can't. Don't for a second think that those who use said language lack English language skills. We're just - more expressive and less inhibited. Fyi, I learned how to conjugate f*** in the United States military. Thank god I came out of there with a skill set. ????
