ThailandRyan Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Looks like we will all be eating Joke now without the necessary ingredients, just rice and meat now. So much for the Thai food that is world renowned for its tastiness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this just scare mongering? Mananya not getting enough press coverage? All of the aforementioned have health benefits, especially galangal. Seems the chemical companies and those with money invested don't like the competition, herbs bad, chemicals good. They can't even have a good excuse/lie to defend this except 'we are corrupt'. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning to make something more interesting or lively. Comes from the now illegal practice of gingering up a horse, to make the horse appear more lively or younger than it is, to make it carry its tail higher and more attractive looking to a buyer or judge in a horse show. No need to be graphic on the details of where the bit of peeled ginger was stuck. ???? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanmel Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Typical Thai Government hazardous type 1 is less restrictive than type 2. Again a poorly researched article, Read the full article, The government are making it easier for the farmers, not harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Ku Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Charge these senseless loud mouths with fake news. Impossible that these cooking herbs be at all "dangerous". Millions of Thai and others have been eating them for hundreds of years - and have not been ill or died by them. There are many stupid people in our govt but these blokes in the Agriculture Ministry must be the stupidest of them all. I say sack them all as they are useless persons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know “ let food be thy medicine” and they know of the magical qualities of these roots and herbs. A cardiologist once told me garlic and lemons were bad for our health. I told him he was trying to protect his cashflow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine had his passport requested when he wanted to post a Christmas card to the UK, and I've read on this site of others being asked. Talking of Thailand Post, I went to the Nana PO in Sukhumvit to post some documents to Kalasin, and the girl asked me what country it was in. I guess her training, education and knowledge of her own country was lacking somewhat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also watched a video of some guy in the USA randomly pointing to places on a globe and asking people what country was it and did not get it. Most USA people who were asked thought Africa was a country. Back on the ID thing. It is completely stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
