There once was a chicken in Thailand, Who said, "I ain't laying no eggs man." They pleaded and begged, "Just lay a few eggs," But instead she ended up in the frying pan. ????

Yep. I'm quite happy living here in egg-country Northern Thailand. We get them from locals yolkles who have chicken coups and have been paying 4 THB per egg and I'm yolk happy with the price. ????????????????????????

Contact dermatitis. Cortosteroid cream like Betnovate or Dermovate. But that's just a guess. I could be a lot of things. Go visit a doctor and get a professional diagnosis, and then if it reoccurs you'll know how to handle it.

Anyone else have an irritable wife this morning after election result Nope.

I actually was just wondering about that. Thanks!

That's pretty much states it. He'll have his day. Like it or not, this is a parliamentary 'democracy' and a guy doesn't win simply because he's handsome and has a ton of cash (although it helps). However - if an Color Revolution erupts because so-called 'democracy' didn't happen the way some want? Well, it won't remain a parliamentary 'democracy' for long. I mean, look at the likes of the UK. Who elected Truss and Sunak? It wasn't an election of the general public. Same will go for Thailand. Thailand? UK? They aren't Direct Democracies like Switzerland. So rioting because "your guy" or "your gal" doesn't get the top spot because the country doesn't elect their PM based on the vote of the general public doesn't make the country stronger.

80% of the traffic fatalities in Thailand are motorcyclists. The average Thai has no concept of safe driving or defensive driving. And even if they did? This place is a horror. If this is YOUR 18 year old? Buy her a car. At least she'll have metal wrapped around her.

My guess as a completely disinterested party with a background in Geo-Politics? Probably. Duck and cover.

Ad-infinitum. In with the New Boss; Same as the Old Boss.

I could have sworn it was 325 the last time I walked by the TV, but now they have flipped the channel to Lakhon Soap Opera. That's about right. Eh? "When in doubt - distract the Ox and Buffalo with mindless TV." Caveat: I don't care who the PM is. Will it effect me personally? Only if the PM and his cabinet are racists who hate farang. But after living here married to a Thai woman for 15 years. <laughs> Yiaat Piyu abound. What's going to be different? Not much.

Color Revolution funded by "You Know Who," 'eh?

Wife was watching the count less than 1/2 hour ago. What's the disconnect between real-time and MSM reporting?

Yes.

Well, why not Glap considering the vagarities of the Thai language transliterated? ???? I actually have a pretty good understanding of Thai transliteration which I used to correct Thai English student's mispronunciations of English words. Yeah yeah, but her for a long time and taught enough English. Enough.

Now - Khun "It's My Dead Friends Watches?" There's a leech that need to have a salt bath.

Good. I wish him the best in retirement. It's a good thing to know when to quit.

99% of the time my VPN is on. 1% of the time I turn if off for sites like Lazada.

PIA.

Aseannow or Asiannow? "Agghrr. Who cares." Well, one is a forum and the other isn't. Grap or Grap. One is a delivery service and the other is non-existent. Sqwakvfr or Swavkfrq? Who cares? You don't get it - do you? Ok - I'm done. I can't do stupid.

I'm fully cognizant that at the 'end of my life', I may need to board a plane and fly to my home state where I can obtain opioids on the street and self medicate - or - inject too much. Thailand? Unless you are wealthy or really, really well insured? You don't want to die here. And even if you are "wealthy or really, really well insured," you still may not want to die here because these Thais - do - not - care - about - your - physical - suffering - because - IT IS YOUR KARMA. Cement that in your farang mind. Which in my Buddhist opinion? Is Sick and Twisted. But? I'm not a Thai Buddhist.

No - it is not - unless you can't come to grips with your mortality. Especially after 70 years old as I am. On the contrary, the only money I wish to spend is on palliative care. Not trying to make a terminal condition 'better.' For those of you who wish to 'live forever?' Man, I feel for ya. Ain't happening. Palliative care, for the most part is not accessible unless you are admitted to a government hospital or a high-price private hospital. Palliative care is pathetic in Thailand. Hospice care? What hospice care. Hospice care doesn't exist her because? "You have Bad Karma And Must Suffer!" These people have no real soul or empathy. Like I said, they consider that you are burning karma and who are they to help you. And yet? In my Buddhist opinion, they are the ones who by refusing to provide palliative care are the monsters. People who refuse to provide palliative care to the suffering - are monsters.

My POV. Thailand completely sucks at providing palliative care for terminally ill patients and out of some sick, twisted sense of morality they say it is based on Buddhism, that the dying deserve to die in pain and suffering due to their 'bad karma." And it is a sick and twisted view of life. I'm Buddhist and I despise this total lack of basic humanity by Thais for all other suffering sentient being when palliative care is available. You must have been bad person in past life. You suffer now. It's your karma!!! That's sick and twisted. All people deserve to be treated with palliative care at the end of their lives. Those who refuse to provide the palliative care or those government officials who make pain relief like opioids and fentanyl patches next to impossible to acquire as you suffer in your end of life? Those people are headed to Buddhist Hell.

I hate to be the spelling police, but in this case, there is no company in Thailand named "Grap" that delivers food. It's Grab. Get the company's name right if you're going to talk about it. https://www.grap.com Doesn't exist. Grab delivery services and taxi: https:/www.grab.com

Now what. Will he be thrashed with wet bamii noodles?

And if he isn't? Then what? Color Revolution? Just saying....... ????
