Agree. From what I read a out foreigners getting attacked here I. Thailand it seems the vast number of cases is down to the influence of drugs or alcohol and usually late at night in a bar area and the foreigner is acring aggressive and starting the altercation from their behaviour. I have lived here nearly 20 years and socialise mostly with Thai locals and never encounter a problem. However in the UK I have been in bad situations many times die to drink idiots getting aggressive and looking for a fight. Also muggings and knife crime are far far more common I the UK than here.

What time do you go to sleep? (Poll)
jak2002003 replied to BananaStrong's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Between 2 am and 3am. I dont go out partying either. I am naturally a night owl I get up 930 to 10am. -
So get a photo of it for us to see, as you say the photo you posted is not the animal you saw, right? BTW tree shrews are mostly aboreal and one of the thing they are commonly seen doing is running along phone wires. The most common squirrel to see here in build up areas is the variable squirrel As you can guess by the name it varies a lot in colour from black to almost white and all shades between. It's much larger than the tree shrew...so maybe that is what you are seeing. But it does have a bushy tail, similar to the America grey squirrel. They also make loud barking kind of call.

OP your photo is a tree shrew not a squirrel. You van tell by the long snout and long mouth. It's a northern treeshrew (Tupaia belangeri). They vary in colour. They do eat fruit and also insects etc.

No pollution in CM yet. Have you been looking at the data for this year or are you just guessing? Bangkok has worst air pollution now.

Chiang Mai losing its appeal—how to manage? [long post/discussion]
jak2002003 replied to ThLT's topic in Chiang Mai
This is false. Bangkok has the toxic air at the moment. The last few years in CM the air quality has been very good, and it's the same this year. -
Does the UK buy much oil from Russia?

Netting. Also make sure there is no food for them to eat to attract them. No need to be cruel to them.

Are you sure it's not the wife after the money? Do not give the guy money. Say you want a photo taken with him as you shake his hand and hand over the 'tip' as you are so pleased with the service.... I bet he will decline. Next learn some Thai language so you can really understand what he is saying next time.. I dont know how anyone can live with someone and marry them yet not be able to speak at least their partners basic language. I am not saying this is the case for the OP but many times I have heard a farangs Thai wife telling lies to their husband about charges, money etc from builders, service people and shops etc so they can get some extra cash. I feel worse for the people the women are blaming as the faeang gets angry and the people feel uncomfortable with the situation. Being dependant, reliant and trusting someone you can't even speak the same language is really dumb.

More than 5M Chinese Visitors expected in Thailand next year
jak2002003 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes. And they did not spend the money over many businesses, or the small local tourist places like restaurants, bars etc. Many preferred to eat cheap food from 7 11 back in their hotel room, and did not go to eat meals at local restaurants. Most also did not frequent bars, pubs or smaller entertainment places. Local people saw little of these tourists money. Instead the bulk of the profits went to a few large already wealthy companies, and many of those were Chinese owned! -

jak2002003 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Because these Chinese package tour tourists required the least effort to take care of, were easy to rip off with overpriced attractions and food, and did not complain as they were used to worse in their own country. Those businesses that miss them should not have forgotten the (usually) higher spending farangs and other nationalities. Instead they saw an easy quick money spinner. It even turned out they were worse off as a lot of the profits were going into Chinese tour companies and back to China, rather than local Thai tourist usonesses. -

Just hope they don't bring over another more dangerous covid varient and cause another lockdown for 2 years. Hope they are not busy munching on disease ridden wild animals before they come over here too.- 282 replies

Oil palm growers to petition government for help to seed prices
jak2002003 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes. Exactly. Better to replant the stove jungle they cut down to grow this stuff. It's been really bad for wildlife. No one is forcing them to buy the toxic chemials to spray all over the place too. How about going orgsnic? Or if they still not happy.... Simply grow another kind of crop or realise the market for this palm oil is not profitable and get another job that pay better. -

How has 'wokeism' made the UK economy so bad exactly? I I'm interested to know how that works...in relation to leaving the EU and the succession of bad leaders we have recently had. -
