Prayuth looks overjoyed to be riding on that tractor-trailer unit just out of the showroom. He needs to raise a motorbike convoy and cruise through the neighbourhood like Thaksin did.

 

 

Nah, he's just miffed because he's not allowed to drive the tractor.

Here are some others Dan,

All pretty much the same. Rigzone and oilandgaspeople haven't had decent any maintenance adds for a long time. WRS will contact you from time to time with Africa jobbies after you register with them.

They seem a bit weird that they want to pay so much for a supposed coppers rank and uniform. Are their parents aware of what they are doing?

Normally its called dress down Friday, not dress up.

Nothing to do with cash reserves then?

Nah, it's more like copying the Malaysians. Except instead of going through the cousins in Saudi they're looking for the right cousins in China or Macau to use.

The chubby officer is living the good life.  Maybe he needs to get out from behind his desk and catch some real criminals - there must be dozens in the building.

Hahahaha, maybe that's why he's behind the desk. Note the non issued parachute (Tesco special) wings missing from either side of his chest?

It's on road 2. If the link works it shows the shop we bought our orange and purple vines. The shop with the pallet of bags to one side. Or get the guy on the motor bike to point to his left. But what about JJ market in Bangkok during the week?

Sorry Michael, cant offer the seeds. But if you travel by road to Korat from Bangkok. After Saraburi and going up the hill on the left past the Muk Lek turn off all the plant shops are there. The first shop on the hill had yellow passion fruit, we bought one and two purple types.

Dastardly people! The smog has blown all the way down to Saraburi... Are we sure it's not thousands of drunken Somchai's playing with matches?

someone hopes they go broke....

but they already did, didn't they? 

and 3 times at that.

two were where they ended up taking everything off balance sheet.... the other Chinese money.... not a pension fund in Singapore (that was super political).... a Chinese telecom (and went through as quiet as a mouse as far as I know).... and they are controlled by CP group.

am I not right on the big picture of it?




 

Yes, and super political translates a bit further... Look at the top right hand side of the main CP website.

All this reminds me of what an ex Prime Minister of Australia once said about air travel. He was well know for his audacious comments.

 

“I travel economy and I am a great man. I could travel economy for the rest of my life and I would still be a great man. But most of the people around this (cabinet) table are pissants and they could travel first class for the rest of their life and they would still be pissants.”

 

He was a legend, but got stabbed hard by his fellow polies.

So where can you buy malt, hops and barley? Of course I don't intend to make beer. Just curious. 

If you used those words on Google and put Thailand after them. You'd be surprised what comes up... So much is locally available and most offer free delivery.

Is the guy on the left following Dear Leaders finger for line of sight? Or bowing down below him to listen to his drivel?

We've got a guy and his team of Cambodians coming around today. I'll ask him about Q con blocks for you.

Wait a moment. With the PTT building reflected in the photo, the immigration office building must be 50–100 metres north of PTT. Is that right?

No Maestro, the immigration office is in part of the main building... if that makes any sense? So you drive into the service station, pumps are in the middle and the first building that is closest to the exit has the immigration office, its just a small set up. 

Hello all, if needed in Saraburi there is an immigration office. It's in the PTT service station next door to St John Mary International school on the Bangkok side of the main road. Normal for me... no hand phone or camera.

I have slept with so many beautiful women that I have become kinda immune to them….they don't turn me on any more…like they used to.

 

These days I get off on trying to find a generally average one with an imperfection….like a strange voice….or a single crooked upper canine.

They still turn me one. Even the one I finally married.

But best was going out with mates and choosing a theme, pretty much as you've said. Longest nails, biggest boobs, short ar#ed, etc... Good fun. Biggest complaint was not being able to find the exact theme for that night.

Like 2011, water will be lapping at Bangkok's feet before they issue a warning for flooding there, and then act all surprised when the inevitable emergency does hit.

 

Hope those tug boats are fuelled up...

I think that Ploppa whatever his name was guy has bought some boats just for it... We were crossing one of the big bridges in Bangkok coming up from Cha Am and I saw three or four very strange looking boats tied to the side of river. Basically looked like huge aeration paddle wheels on the back of them.

Have you ever heard about people that died due to liver damage after receiving CPR except this case ? The autopsy can also determine if the liver got damaged before or after death. If it was damage before death there would be a lot of blood in and around the liver if it was damaged after death there would be no or little bleeding. So if he was hit or kicked before death there will be signs of bleeding if it was due to CPR there will be no or little bleeding. Elementary dear Watson.

Ok Shirlock calm down. The stuff I typed was in regard to the unnamed Dr Somchi that said the liver is not near the heart. Nothing else. 

Do carry on telling us all what you know.

Another doctor who asked to remain anonymous said CPR could not cause injury to the liver because the heart and liver were in different parts of the body.
...

What sort of medicine does this guy practise? The liver is close to the heart in humans on my planet.

Sometimes as an owner you may not know if your dog would do what has happened here. if it was my dog, I would have put it down immediately. I wouldn't haggle about the damage on the child either. I would have taken her to the hospital myself.

150k thb just won't cut it.

Oh how I agree with that.

Years ago I was at a party and the hosts mut/bull terrier thing bit a young girl that was playing with it. Sad to say that it opened her cheek up. The young girl was taken to the hospital and the dog was shot there and then. I've had all sorts of dogs all my life but once the dog does that to a child it's finished in my opinion.

The fact that she was able to come to the police station with 500 K worth of gold says enough....to me the scary part is the total lack of responsibility towards the crime comitted is absent, just not there, no matter how many lives lost....its business.....hoplefully this time no more!

Yes, well said. It's just business for them.

The foreigner's credibility bag has a big hole in it. No matter what you you excel at, no matter how often you prove your competence in a given task. All of it falls out of the bag when someone else shows up with an opinion or the next situation occurs.

However, if it is just you and the missus, workable arrangements can be had. For example, if it is anything technical I get left alone, If it is something she has been doing all her life, then it's her job.

Until someone else comes along of course. Even the crazy guys that stumble in from time to time, get full attention to their opinion and I will have to defend my own. And If my father in law has an opinion, I leave. There is nothing good that follows after that, but no one can talk to that guy. Just undo the damage later on.

Hahaha, I agree with you there. Every time I start something around the house or garden she has to check with one of her brothers if i'm doing it the right way, never gets old being told to do stuff arse up. Been married for ten years this year and it's still great fun. I don't bother to drive anymore, got sick of being told what to do so I let her drive me around now.

But my father in-law is a classic. He wanted to repost some of his land and told us he's going to use the backhoe to dig the post holes... He has a perfectly good post hole borer but doesn't like to us it. So we watch him dig all the big square holes and help him drop the posts in the holes and push a bit of dirt back into the hole, a few jumps on the dirt and it's compacted enough. Next weekend he's starting to string the posts with wire, we sort of helped him with that as well. Any way he starts to pull some tension on the bottom wire and all the posts fell over. He's still not talking to me after my laugh with beer coming out my nose.

Can Russians get their marriage visa from Savannakhet? I see that they can get a Lao visa on arrival.

My wife visits a cake shop near us and apparently the lady is married to a Russian guy and she is getting tired of flying to Russia every year to do his visa. Any help and info will be appreciated.

Yes they can get the multiple entry non-o visa.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
