Yep, mostly. I used to live near the beach in Rayong, near to a cluster of seafood restaurants. Cars would draw up to the beach and throw out dogs that had been family pets, and just abandon them, thinking that people on the beach would feed them from their tables. (Same at Buddhist temples). Obviously puppies / gifts that had grown past their 'cute' stage, and required food and exercise. Pretty heartbreaking to see the dogs try to run back to the cars as they drive off, tbh. Anyway, well done to Soi Dog for making a difference.

My own personal fave is observing people alone in cars, wearing masks but not seat belts. ????

After suffering gout attacks during my mid 30's to 40's, I changed my diet to a less acidic version of what i was eating and drinking before. In my mid 50's now, and the fittest I've been since I was a kid. A lot of processed meats, (especially organ meat) is very acidic / high in Uric acid. Ditto soda drinks (especially cola-based). A chart here, for anyone with gout or high uric acid in their blood: https://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/acid_alkaline_foods_list.html

Usual knee-jerk reaction. The video of this fire (and burning people) went viral internationally, so expect Something To Happen.

Most of the Soi Dog's charity work involves funding to sterilize strays and find homes for them. What's so wrong about that?

Erm, this drug is made here, and consumed here. Try and keep up.

It's all about dependence. The more addictive, the better the repeat business. A bit like Big Pharma and fentanyl, Oxycontin, etc. ????

According to my Thai staff, it hadn't been open long. Only about a month ago.

The Thai equivalent of a broken washing machine discarded in the front garden. Stay classy, Rayong. ????

Saw the news and video on the Thai FB this morning. Utterly horrendous scenes. Some of those people that managed to escape the explosions inside the club may later succumb to the burns they suffered on the way out.. Maybe, it might have been fortunate (if there is any positives here) that this fire didn't happen on a Friday or Saturday night, when it would have been a lot busier.

"Serve the country" ???? Thanks for the laugh this morning.

I always imagined "wild tigers" in Thailand constitute escapees from farms or "shows", similar to crocodiles.

Thanks for the simplistic explanation. You missed "tetanus" which is probably the most important vaccine that you or your children should get. You're welcome.

You signed up for your series of Monkeypox vaccinations, yet?

You never lose your "girlfriend" here. Only your turn.

I didn't know zebras had any spiritual powers here in Thailand? Certainly no one takes any notice of the zebra crossings on the road.. A few bottles of blue Fanta, and the shrine will be okay again, I'm sure.

Really trying their hardest with this new scary disease aren't they?

A lot of old dinosaurs need to stumble off into their well-appointed tar-pits before Thailand can move on again from this level. The continual "state of emergency" is an utter debacle.

Seems to be a global(ist) putsch against farmers and farming in many countries, as seen (by massive protests) in the Netherlands now. Expect some steep price hikes shortly.

Wonder what's going to kill us all next week? ????

The whole industry is dedicated to dependence over cure. Yet we take whatever these people say about natural immunity and cures, and obviously viruses and vaccines at face value.?

Have used the overnight trains to Khon Kaen, and Butterworth, Penang, from here many moons ago. Was quite relaxing as I recall, apart from being shaken awake several times as we traversed over points. Copious amounts of draft Singha (available at that time) certainly helped, though.

From your link: No thanks, Pfizer.

When there's doubt, there is no doubt. Children have virtually zero-risk from Covid, so why risk vaccinating them? Also, there is still no long-term results available for the m-RNA vaccines.

No problems. I've received many emails from Nigerians that are all multi-millionaires. Despite Nigeria being an OPEC country with massive oil reserves, most of it's GDP is comprised of email and dating scams.. ????
