  1. Do you read Pharmaceutical Drug Inserts - the two sided inserts that come with prescription drugs with very small print? Why? Why not?
  2. Here comes the "Russian Hatred" on steroids. Very sad but not unexpected. It's right behind "Chinese Hatred." Live and let live. Most people are not a reflection of their own country's Geo-politics.
  3. Perhaps he is privy to some events within the Thai political structure that the rest of use are not aware of.
  4. Virtually all woman world-wide are 'for sale.' You just need to understand the nature of the type of remuneration they desire.
  5. There are plenty of middle-class, middle-aged woman who have professional careers (not the "oldest profession). Bars and massage shops have lots of woman who will treat you like a king as they milk your ATM and lead you around by your d***. Be selective.
  6. The struggle of native Palestinians and Israelis is an ongoing tragedy in motion. Israel send troops into Palestinian areas and the result is usually dead Palestinians. "Nine Palestinians have been killed during an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank - the deadliest in years - Palestinian officials say. -- BBC Then we get this. Right or wrong, it's biblical "an eye for an eye." Israel will respond in kind. Palestinians will reciprocate. Ad-infinitum. ???? This has been going on most of my life, and again - it is tragic. I have no answers. I find it immensely sad for the average Palestinian and Israeli citizens. Prayers for both sides. I wish there was a way to resolve the mutual hatred. ????
  7. Actually I take that back. I've decided to wade into The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons. I just finished the first book, Hyperion, and I'm now on book two, Fall of Hyperion. He has a really rich writing style with complex plot lines that interweave. It's a good Sci-Fi read.
  8. Sandis Mukans, the author of the article states that you need to carry your passport at all times or risk a fine, but provides no source or attribution to Thai law. And I'm not a tourist. The authorities may push that for actual tourist who have no other Thai ID. I carry three piece of Thai government issued ID on me when I leave the house. Until I see a link to the Thai Police Order or law that has been publish in the Royal Gazette? It's hearsay as far as I'm concerned.
  9. I carry my driver licenses because you're legally obligated to carry it when you drive. I also carry my pink card (just because). I use my DL for ID. I keep snapshots of the first page of my passport and my visa stamp on my phone. If Thai authorities want to see my passport while I'm driving within a hour from my residence, they can come to my house (i.e., Lamphun and CM) where most of my driving occurs. If I'm on travel, I carry it with me in a pack which stays with me. Carrying it around routinely is unnecessary and a risk. It's a complete PITA if you lose it or if it's stolen. The only other time is if I need it to do business at the bank or if I'm extending my extension to stay (90 day reports online works like a charm now and I've done my reporting online this year )
  10. Do you know you have to carry a passport all the time by law? Attribution. Please provide a link to the law, otherwise it's opinion and not fact.
  11. Only if the "vaccines" stop transmission.....which they don't. Heinecke is simply propagating a narrative that has no factual basis. Thanks for the list of Minor's business as now I know where not to support his bottom line.
  12. Same, same - but different.
  13. The "Bend of 100 Corpses!" I think I'd slow down. But. This Is Thailand. Bpai Reow Reow Nii. We need to go Fast Fast Fast to meet our death's on the Thai roads!!! Congratulation! Good job.
  14. COVID vaccination centres to be set up in all provinces for foreign tourists Oh, dirty foreigners need the shot to keep from spreading Covid. Oh wait a minute! The shots don't stop you from getting Covid, or transmitting Covid. "Wait wait wait wait!!! You won't die!" Unless you do. Ok.
  15. Dust? Omg. Let's make the problem a nothing-burger. Try PM2.5 Particulate. Which can kill you.
  16. Are you married to a man, Jingthing? How would you know? Like I said, I could care less if Thailand make 'same-sex marriages' legal. But this guy? He's doing a whole lot of stuff that should get him escorted to the airport and deported. But - the day Thailand declares "same-sex marriages" as legal as well as to recognize 'men as women and women as men' like they do in the West, I'm going to identify as a woman and want all the privileges that Foreign women married to Thai men have. Of course, my wife will declare herself as a Thai man. Honestly? I don't care. Live and let live.
  17. When the going gets weird, the Weird go Pro. - Hunter S. Thompson
  18. Oh my goodness. Boo Hoo. It is what it is. If I was married to a Filipinos gal I'd be a permanent resident of The PI by now and maybe even a citizen. TIT - This Is Thailand. Sucks as it may. If I had it to do over again? I would not have stopped here and married a Thai national. But? Here I am. So, "illud est quod est" It is what it is.
  19. Put 10 pairs of fighters in an octagon and see who comes out on top. Easy.
  20. DYI. You're not in Kansas anymore Toto.
  21. Hire some local construction workers on a daily wage. You're just asking to be fleeced.
  22. So, OK - how did he die? All I see is Thai nationalistic hand-wringing. If he died of natural causes? Then there is no problem. If he was murdered? Well, then there is. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.
  23. I'm sorry. I've been married to a Thai woman for 15 years and I'm still "a foreign man temporarily visiting my Thai wife." I have - no - feeling for this at all. If Thailand wants to recognized same-sex marriages - ok. I've no problem with that. Then marry your partner and live like the rest of us Foreign Men married to Thai Women. But - even better. If they allow same sex marriages? Claim you're female! Ahhhhh. Then you get fast-tracked to Thai citizenship! I feel nothing for this guy's situation given my own and other foreign men like me. 15, 20, 25 years of marriage to a Thai woman and you're - "A visitor."
