When someone throws water on you during Thai New Year, how do you react?
Squirt guns are one thing. Entire buckets of water are something else again. There's not much sense in complaining about the water festival. It will gp on, regardless. The people throwing buckets of water should stop. It's not funny, and it certainly isn't fun for anyone who gets soaked, especially if they're not expecting it. One time I was in a baht bus riding from Pattaya to Jomtien. I wasn't really expecting to get drenched enroute, and I wasn't dressed for the occasion. And then the baht bus stopped for a traffic light and some Thai girl threw an entire bucket of water right into the baht bus. I was at least partially soaked, and a few of the other people on the bus were clearly not dressed for the occasion. Another time, something similar happened, but I was on foot and I thought I was away from it all. No such luck. -

Does living in Thailand drive you to drink?
I totally stopped drinking. I went from 3 big LEO's a day to zero, best decision ever. Smoking a joint at night, combined with some otc meds, keep me calm and sane without a hangover. -

When is the 60 day visa-free entry changing?
Does anyone have a date for when 60 day visa free entry will be reduced to 30 days? At present this is a sword of Damocles hanging over anyone making long term plans to visit the country? What other restrictions will or will not be introduced? -

Masks - Why still now?
I continue to laugh at so many folks here on this forum. I am not and most say that they won't wear masks, What difference does it make anyway. Are you nay sayers afraid the facts will show a different story? Seems like too much complaining about folks wearing masks when these very complainers about others wearing them are at fault, I haven't seen anyone saying you have to wear masks, some claim that I started that but that is a false statement too. I wear a mask when I go outside. I have been in Thailand since the 70's and US doctors visiting employees advised us to wear a mask when doing anything outside in the polluted air. Yeah some of the pollution changed as unlead gas replaced leaded gas but the pollution levels did drop at first but then more and more burning every year throughout SEA means the air is polluted more often than not. That is easy to see or know about as reports are done regularly by the government and by accuweather for particular areas. Every day on the Thai TNN news, they give the government weather bureau warning for provinces with higher than the standard each day several times and they actuall show some of the polluted areas and the forest fires creating that foul air. I didn't make any claims for people to wear masks, just that good quality N95 and N99 masks can block 2.5 micron particles. AGAIN, no one is telling anyone that they have to wear masks unless it is the government stating masks to be worn in certain buildings or businesses can also require masks on customers. Otherwise it is up to the individual. -

You got to suck it up. We all know what to expect. It's a celebration. Dislikes are - foreigners on Soi Buakhou with their high pressure pumps - idiots who put ice in buckets -

Trump is an idiot.
Paul Krugman: 'Trump Is Stupid, Erratic and Weak' “Anyone sounding the all-clear on tariffs, or Trump economic policy in general, should be kept away from sharp objects and banned from operating heavy machinery,” Krugman, one of the country’s top economists, wrote in a Substack post titled “Trump Is Stupid, Erratic and Weak.”
