    Why would you?

    No thanks, I'm happy with the climate in Hat Yai

    No, no, it depends where you live. Down in the south we get 4 seasons: January - March = Hot & Dry April - June = Very Hot & Dry July - September = Hot & Wet October - December = Hot & Very Wet

    I guess it will be a little while after that the the robots start to consider 'what's the function/point of all these humans?'

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/apr/02/americans-obama-anti-christ-conspiracy-theories Plenty of evidence to suggest a quarter of Americans are cerebrally challenged. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/15/seven-percent-of-americans-think-chocolate-milk-comes-from-brown-cows-and-thats-not-even-the-scary-part/ Some are beyond help. .

    And a quarter of Americans believe the Sun revolves around the Earth! https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/14/277058739/1-in-4-americans-think-the-sun-goes-around-the-earth-survey-says Just because people believe things doesn't make it so.

    Your definition of 'girl' is rather broad, she's 49! A beef Wellington is one of my favourites, but I leave the death cap mushrooms out of the duxelles.

    That's not exactly true, smiling is a politeness much as the UK's shaking hands and saying 'how do you do' you don't actually give a hoot as to how the other person is doing 9 times out of 10.

    Those aren't the only properties they have, they can certainly afford to move anywhere they want. The peasants don't have that luxury.

    I didn't say they were, just they were equally indigenous to the area, well certainly as indigenous as 'Thai' who migrated down from southern China. Most of the peninsular Thai population have more in common genetically with Myanmar and Malaysia than 'Thai' and southern China.

    The people of Yala are equally indigenous, they haven't moved, the border did.

    Good luck fixing the numerous footbridge 'solutions', this one on Withayu junction with Pleonchit.

    Onana was about the only player who bothered to turn up yesterday, some cracking saves.

    I went to see it yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it, it's a very good movie.

    Some folk are only happy when they're moaning.

    Wow you get the Sa-Mart BMW, the lads who pop round to see us are usually on a scooter! And no in answer to the OP they get invited in and have never strayed further than the living room, sign the forms, photo together in the living room and a photo of us together at the front of the house with the house number. All very polite and respectful.

    I get the impression you're dissatisfied with just about everything, people pick up on that. If you go around looking like a sour faced $%#^ don't be surprised if you're responded to in kind.

    No, not were I live, I encountered none of this fear of Covid bearing foreigner stuff. Indeed I had great assistance getting registered for vaccination and was vaccinated for free, all with a smile. Undoubtedly much depends on where you live, your neighbourhood, the places you frequent and most certainly your general demeanour. As with much in life, you get back what you put in.

    "Most don't really care", is also not listed as an option

    On October 19, a TikToker named Brielle, who recently started a corporate job in the New York area, posted a video where she appeared visibly upset as she addressed the camera. The on-screen caption read, "in a 9-5 how do u have time for ur life." https://www.insider.com/college-graduate-upset-shock-working-nine-to-five-tiktok-2023-10 Oh dear, the poor child!

    Whatever he calls himself he's a car crash.

    It's a land bridge not a canal! Two deep water container ports and oil depots either side of a rail and road link plus oil pipeline. Offload one side, someone collects on the other.

    There's a big difference between your bar experiences and a country looking to raise finance and investment for a trillion Baht mega project.

    I came through Suvarnabhumi 3 weeks ago, arriving about 1pm on a Qatar flight from Doha. Immigration Zone 1 was closed so herded through Zone 2. But the desks were fully manned, so although fairly busy I was through within 15 minutes. Total time from getting off the plane, clearing immigration, collecting bag and getting into a taxi was about 45 minutes. So no complaints.
