Ha ha ha ha ha!  Marc Faber is headed to BKK. 

Fake monks. 

No doubt I'll have a delicious dinner with chicken, fish, vegetables, and dessert.  And then the next day I'll read about the Thanksgiving parades and football games and think to myself, "Missed it again.  Mai bpen rai!" 

I have fond memories of flying in USAF Douglas C-47 Gooney Birds in my youth.  No doubt there may still be one of two in this part of SE Asia.

There is a company in KSK which sells running machines, I think they are on the 3rd floor?

 

We purchased silicone a while back for our machine

 

You need to ask around, cannot recall the exact location

Thanks.  I know where you are talking about.  I'll check them out my next trip to Chiang Mai. 

"never, ever give up" = "get out there and riot."

After awarding Obama a Peace Prize based on the expectation that he would help bring peace to the world (he brought more war than Bush), perhaps Dylan reflected on the irrelevance of what a Nobel prize now stands for.

Translated.  Small farmer out; corporate farmer in. 

It's time to normalize relations. 

Just let the idiots make their home-made guns.  It's a self-correcting problem when they explode.

WD-40 does a silicone spray. Not sure if its available near you though ?
 

I checked this out online.  Seems to be 100% and recommended for use on rubber and plastics.  I believe I may have seen this at our local HomePro.  I'll take a look this weekend.  Thanks for the picture!

I bought this one at either Amorn or Home Pro.  It doesn't list the ingredients.  It basically claims safe on a long list and no warnings.  Sorry I can't be more specific.

That is the one I bought.  Although it doesn't list ingredients, I did notice that it had a petroleum distillate poison warning on the label after I had already opened it although it was readily apparent by the smell. 

I have a treadmill that requires the area between the belt and deck to be lubricated with 100% silicone spray. 

I check at a local big-box hardware store and found a number of different cans of silicone spray.  However, all the labels were written in Thai except for one product written in German and Thai.  I could not find any of the products labelled specifically as 100%.  Finally just bought one, took it home, and sprayed it in a cup.  I can smell petroleum so that ones on going to work. 

Does anyone specially know of a brand of silicone spray that is 100% silicone with no additives.  If so, do you know where buy that brand?  Or could you attach a picture that I can print and take to the hardware store?

It is never a good idea to punch a copper in the face.

That would be a 'death by cop' offense in the US.  The drunk should be glad that Thai cops are not of that 'cowboy' disposition.  .

Nowadays I just take a box of pictures (home, outside, inside, family, ordination, at the wat, at village event, etc) and let them pick and choose what they want.  Last year they didn't want the outside picture, did want an inside picture, and took a picture of my extended family at a restaurant.  My rule of thumb?  Take everything but the kitchen sink and let them pick and choose.  Seems to work pretty well.

Spot on! She didn't seem to move a muscle, not a scintilla of emotion or anger. Oh look, he's just smashed a small child to the ground and kicked him like a dog. Simply amazing and pathetic.

Actually, most Thais would have been horrified if the man was kicking a Thai dog, and the BIB would be out in force looking for the perp, especially if it was a farang kicking a Thai dog.  A five year old Thai boy???  Not so much concern.

Bloody Trump supporters, they think they can get away with anything.

I'm desperately attempting to make the connection between this event and any supporters of any US political candidate.  I don't see a connection so I'm assuming this is completely

Advise for loco, drunk farang who go on rampages.

1.  When you wake up, remember nothing.  "How did I get here?  Where am I.  Who are you."

2. When faced with picture evidence, look shocked.  "I did that???"

3.  Bow and scrap.  "I'm sorry.  So sorry.  Sorry sorry sorry."

4.  Smile and kiss rear-ends.  "That's just not me."
5.  Ordain and spend a week in a monastery with plenty of photo ops with the press and social media.

6.  Settle monetary issues behind closed doors.
7. Rinse and repeat as needed.

If they ban homelessness where do they expect people to go? It's not like people WANT to be homeless.

They need to go to homeless shelters.  You know, the ones that are full so that you can only sleep on the street, which is illegal.  Catch 22.

Pretty soon there will a return to debtor prisons and poor houses. 

Tourist from the US states who have now legalized pot who indulge in American, fly to Thailand, and are asked to pee in a bottle are going to be in for a big surprise! 

BIB: You pee turn purple.  You do drug.
Tourist: Yes, but marijuana is legal where I live in Denver, Colorado USA!
BIB: You bring drug to Thailand in body.  Big problem for you.  We go to police station.

Tourist:

Suggestion to tourists from weed friendly States.  Abstain for at least two weeks before coming to the Land of Smiles (and no-nonsense drug laws). Stick to drinking alcohol at the bars in the Mile High State and elsewhere. 

I have and I give the excess back.

Amazing how fast Ryan flipped after Trump won the election.  He was on MSM news gushing about Trump before Clinton gave her concession speech.  There are many interesting creatures in the swampy cesspool of Washington DC.  The re-elected Speaker of the House must be one of those brown-nose, flip-flop swamp foxes who will attack you in the swamp one minute, and then want to be your lapdog the next.  And some thought that Trump would drain the swamp.  Lol 

A good nomination for the "Darwin Awards."  RIP
