Is this the "Little Surprise" of 47 and the Speaker?
We live in desperate times owing to a failed regime's imposition of destructive leftist policies. Normal confirmations, now that Dems have totally reversed themselves on eliminating the filibuster and will obstruct to the max just to obstruct, would take years. Checks and balances still apply as Congress may still impeach (as the Dems misused against Trump) and the courts, when not engaged in political lawfare, still decide the constitutionality of law. -

Jieng Jai market and TOPS "Green" - one expat's review
TOPS "Green" supermarket at Jieng Jai market opened about a year ago. My first time there today. Here's a review for my fellow expats. For those wanting to save time, here's my review in 4 words: Don't waste your time. It's designed from the ground up as a tourist "trap". Not a "trap" really, because it is attractive, clean, well-organized. Lots of open space to wonder around and look at vendors selling things. It has all the appeal of a new shopping mall, just open-air. In the market area, mostly "natural fiber" clothes for women. Lots of "natural" style handbags and shoes for women. Lots of little nick-knacks and "accessories" that would appeal to women. Plus lots of little "food court" places to eat. Plenty of chairs and tables to sit and eat outside. From a quick glance, the food seems aimed at what we used to call "health nuts". In the past, that meant lots of tofu + bean sprouts + kefir and kombucha. There days it means signs and menus adorned with words like: • eco-friendly • energy-efficient • reduced plastic • sustainability • environmental responsibility If words like that "speak" to you, then you'll probably like Jieng Jai market and TOPS Green. TOPS inside is clean, well-lighted, and well-organized. Much nicer than any other TOPS Daily store I've ever seen. In the store, anything that could vaguely be considered green and trendy: Grass-fed beef -- securely sealed in plastic wrap. Organic eggs -- in "natural" cardboard egg cartons. But my favorite, organic apple juice -- easily available at Rim Ping -- at TOPS Green, "no have". And everything at prices much higher ordinary stores. We arrived about 8:30 AM.-- still cool. Busy, but not crowded. Stayed an hour. That was all the sustainability I cared for. When we left about 9:30 AM. the flood of tourists was starting in earnest. Big tour buses, vans, and song-taeow, too many to count. A Tsunami of Chinese tourists pouring in, wave after wave. Farang tourists; just a few, always with pampered children in tow. Did not see anyone who looked even remotely like a long-stay expat. So, any reason for an expat to go? Only one: For men seeking "day game", lots of young, healthy-looking targets of opportunity. Other than that, the Thais have a saying that, in my opinion, applies here: ครั้งแรกเป็นครั้งสุดท้าย "First time is last time".
