The only reason the Canadian gov wants to build the pipeline across the US is that they don't want to risk polluting their own ecosystem in case of a leak between the oil fields and British Columbia. Screw them. Mess up the US ecosystem instead? Why not? Fracking has already made the ground water non-potable, so what's the diff? <head shake> It's all about the Anglo-Saxon oil companies wanting to make excessive profits on the back of the US public. 2:1 that the US judicial system caves in favor of the corporations.

Get real. 5.1 earthquake in N. Korea and the propaganda arm of the guberment frames it as an H-Bomb tests. Sure. Props to Kim Jong Un for creativity. Still an idiot with a bad haircut though.

Good! The court of public opinion has already tried and sentenced Mr. Cosby. Due process prevails.

Go Donald! The left and MSM doesn't know how to handle you! Good job. Beating the progressive left at their own game.

Government's message" "Feel free to drive like an idiot!"
Great job Cambodia. Hopefully Thailand doesn't emulate the stupidity.

Too much heavy metals in the drinking water from gold mining operation leading to excessive conductance in the human body? Lol

Stand if front of a mirror naked, and repeat the following:
"Sweet Jesus, you are a fat slob. Now get off your buns and starting working out! Then you be hansum man!"
Repeat three to five times until your weak mind 'gets it.'
"Sweet Jesus, you are a fat slob. Now get off your buns and starting working out! Then you be hansum man!""Sweet Jesus, you are a fat slob. Now get off your buns and starting working out! Then you be hansum man!"
"Sweet Jesus, you are a fat slob. Now get off your buns and starting working out! Then you be hansum man!"
"Sweet Jesus, you are a fat slob. Now get off your buns and starting working out! Then you be hansum man!"
"Sweet Jesus, you are a fat slob. Now get off your buns and starting working out! Then you be hansum man!"
Ok, your cured!

I'm looking for a shop that sells heavy bags for martial art training. I checked a Muay Thai shop on Loi Kroh, but the bag they are selling had too many seams.
Anyone who is into martial arts, Muay Thai, or boxing know of a place to purchase a good, seamless heavy bag in Chiang Mai.TIA.

Game On! Let the games begin.

The government is going to actively cull rice farmers. Instead, they should just allow the free market do the job. Stop subsidies, and those that can't cut it, quit.

If you're from the US, you should be sending your funds via Bangkok Bank New York's ACH transfer. Plus, you can open an account that is FATCA compliment. The Treasury department can get records if they want. You have a rock solid paper trail.
If you're not a US citizen...never mind.

According to my teerak, the cabbie slept off the drinking binge in jail, awoke the next day, and claimed he had no knowledge of what happened.
"Where am I? What am I doing here. How did I get here?" What a load of BS.Ok. 2000 THB for 'drink driving' and 500 THB for punching a cop. Bad! Don't do it again.

That soi is basically 2 rows of shophouses, one on either side of street. You go to the end of the soi and it is the last shophouse on the left. It is not a shop it is just where they keep the coffee for distribution. Their building is covered in a lot of plants.
There is a glass door, often open, but you can ring the bell if you don't see anyone . They are there most mornings; around 10-11am seems to be the best time. Not on Sunday.
I was wondering. I didn't see a sign but there were lots of shipping boxes stacked outside. I thought that might be it. Thanks for the update!

I find that 1oz of whiskey in 8 oz of hot water with liberal quantities of honey and lemon does the trick. At least you sleep well. And warm Vicks smeared all over your chest. Wow, I must be channeling my Mom. Thanks Mom! Lol

Gotta love the self righteous indignation on this thread, how very festive.
Chiangmai Thaivisa folks living with the horror that they might be separated from a hundred baht.
People do get down on their luck and even if they might be "putting it on " a bit, it can't do your Kharma any harm to give them fifty or a hundred baht.
Anybody know where I can get cheap potatoes ??
"Self righteous"??? What is a Russian woman doing begging (hustling) in Chiang Mai? The reason is, it is easy money and she doesn't have to work for it. When you visit Europe, the gypsies are running around doing the same thing because some people are stupid enough to give them money.
If it makes you feel good to give money to people like this, then do it but don't expect others to support people like this. Take your "cheap potato" comment on down the road.
I'd offer her 100 THB to take her picture. Then I'd go down to local BIB and inform them that they have a farang begger working the streets, and by the way, here's her picture.
It would be 100 baht well spent. I hate scam artists regardless of their race, religion, or country of origin. -
One word: Scam.
Best way to get rid of one of those is to relate your story like a country western song:
Lost my wife; lost my house; lost my pickup truck; lost my dog. Don't care too much about the wife and home, but the dog and the pickup truck <Sob, tears in eyes, quivering lip> Scam artist - Gone in 60 Second!

The rest of the civilized world rolls it's eyes, shakes it's head and lets out a big collective sigh......
The rest of the civilized world weren't born and raised in America. Nor were they brought up in a family who owns, uses, and respects firearms. So personally, I could give a da*m what the rest of the world thinks. I believe I speak for most US gun owners.
As far as repealing the Second Amendment? It would split the country in half and end up as the catalyst for a new civil war. Americans are apathetic and complacent until they're pissed-off, then look out below. The repeal of the Second Amendment would not be the will of the people. It would be the tyranny of career politicians. The Second Amendment is a "Third Rail Issue". Any politician who's got half a brain isn't going down that path because unless they're from a liberal progress state, it will end their career. They know it; we know it.
FYI. I'm not a Republican. I'm a political atheist. I support whoever I feel will best represent my interests.
And ever notice that the liberal progressive wingnuts can't post anything of substance; they can only attack individuals who post pro-gun arguments. There are examples in this thread. Micheal Savage has it right: Liberalism is a mental disease.

Looks like it's time to renew my NRA membership even though I don't live there. Still a citizen. Still have 'skin in the game'.

I think Lampang is my least favorite province in the North. I'd rather go just about anywhere else, in my personal order of preference:
1. Other Places in Chiang Mai Province
2. Pai and Mae Hong Son
3. Phrae
4. Chiang Rai
5. Nan
6. Phayao
7. Lamphun
8. Are we really out of provinces.. maybe I'll visit Pai again.
9. Tak.. is this considered North.. not really but at least it's not Lampang
10. Stay home and play Candy Crush.
11. Lampang.
I'd rather stick hot needles in my eyes than go there again,terribly terribly boring part of Thailand.
We took the train from the Doi Khun Tan station to Lampang a few years back. Train ride was nice. Lampang? Boring!

More likely they had a 5.1 magnitude earthquake, and decided to run a psy-op and call it a hydrogen bomb. And even if they did, with the pathetic ICBM program, they'd have to ship the bomb to it's target in a cargo container. Lol

Pocket change. Boo hoo.

I went in mid/late november to renew extension to stay based on marriage...
Went like last year... 2 copies of every thing... every page in my passport that has a thai stamp in it, lease for the house we live in, notary statement from US consulate, documentation to prove income (copies of warrants from my pension fund), pictures, map, etc.
One new wrinkle was that we were required to prove our marriage. Never been asked for this. I mean, we always had to provide copy of our marriage certificate (from USA), and a translation of said copy, but this year, for the first time, they said we needed a paper to prove that said marriage was recognized in Thailand... as in registered at the ampuhur, the officer said.
So, off to the amphur to see if we could "register" our marriage.
Upon arrival, the amphur clerk told my wife that since she had changed her last name to my name, she had to have filed appropriate documents already. Back home, my wife dug thru her copious files and remembered that indeed, we filed some documents many years ago and they were stamped and signed in BKK and sent off to the Foreign Ministry and stamped again there and our marriage was then officially recognized here in Thailand.
So other than this speed bump on our highway of success, it went smoothly, just like last year.
For proof of married in Thailand, they want a copy of a Por 2 from your Amphur office. I generally get one dated within 30 days from that date that I apply for an extension.
