Belgian 80, Attacked and Robbed by Teenage Gang on Christmas Day in Pattaya
Swords are hard to find in Thailand, though machetes are easy. We have 2 or 3 around the place. Can you please quote a figure or a percentage backed up by a link of how many Thai men actually do pick on farangs. There are so many posts all saying one thing or another but nobody has given a figure that is or can be verified, The original post was that 6 guys on 3 motorbikes attacked the Belgian. A later post says that the police arrested 4 youths but nothing about the other 2 guys. So were there only 4 guys or 6. -

Another question about travelling with meds
Ingredients: Sulfogaiacol, Sodium Citrate, Glycirrhiza extract. Maybe the opium got removed from the formula. A small sip, roll around the mouth to dilute with saliva. Swallow. Do not drink anything afterwards. IIRC 40 baht a bottle. -

Fatal Motorcycle Crash at Notorious Bend Sparks Local Superstition
The "I've been here longer than most" argument is a clutch at straws.... I've been driving here for 25 years and riding motorcycles here for 15 years... that means nothing in this debate. And... as you have been driving here for that long then you have surely shaken your head at the many outrageous and stupid things you see.... Or, when you see something really stupid do you honestly think... "its the roads fault" ??? I know, I know... you'll now argue that with road design the impact of the stupidity is less, because the 'road engineering' protects people when an accident happens, i.e. removing power poles from the road, adding armco barriers etc... ... people doing stupid things will still die on the roads. I've presented that statistic plenty of times - but have also highlighted that as with all statistics the data is incomplete as it only accounts for population basis not per vehicle basis and does not include mileage covered per vehicle - so the result is potentially distorted. That said: for 4 wheeled vehicles - the Thai stat is 4x higher than the equivalent UK stat. -

Yes, I google things instead of going on ASEANNOW and asking other posters questions and asking them to explain things to me and asking them what's the latest news about any given subject -

Trump Calls for Return of Panama Canal Over "Unfair" Transit Rates
Demise of democracy, you don’t know what is going to happen, nothing looks good, sociopath and criminal. And now you throw in ICE. WTF. How they all correlate is only a mind affected by long term alcohol use can comprehend. I certainly can’t. -

The issue Kwilco has, is that we as outside observers to all these tragedies can make the clear observation that we see so many people doing so many stupid things on the roads... He really does not like that word and wants to shoe-horn in accusations racism into the discussion.... He thinks you can engineer problems out of a roads to make them safer, and he is of course right... But he completely fails on the understanding that it doesn't matter how safe something is made, how well educated people are and trained... People will do stupid things... he said it himself "you can't fix people" - because stupid people do stupid things... ..... and men get on motorcycles while drunk or drive cars, while drunk and fail to navigate perfectly safe roads that the rest of society have no issue with... Thats stupid people doing stupid things. IF this area truly were an accident blackspot, sober people would be having accidents at 7pm... This is not a 120kmh road that crests a hill into blind bend.... its a normal road, with a normal bend, nothing dangerous for most people when they are not blind drunk speeding, in which case everything becomes dangerous and that can't be engineered for. -

Three Palestinian babies freeze to death in Gaza as winter sets in
I do not believe anything that comes from the Palsedtians side . They have been shown to lie frequently and incessantly . You would have to be a gullible fool to believe anything that they say or claim- 1
