rkidlad Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Feel bad for the really poor who really struggle to get by everyday. The rich here should be donating black clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Black ribbons or armbands would be showing a symbol of respect and would not have created the current situation and be considerably cheaper. I have noticed that a couple of the local golf courses have provided the caddes with ribbons, very sensible and respectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting little side issue here, the Thai football league has cancelled all games but golf is still continuing ? Of course I forgot how popular golf is in certain circles.

Muay Thai at Lumphini cancelled as well, or it certainly was initially,another sport enjoyed by the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoon Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Should I tell the ice-cream samlor, which has this very moment stopped outside the house, to turn his "jolly jingle" off? And when the barmuk pickup comes past tonight, with it's music playing, what should I do? Perhaps I should attempt to get the locals in the village bar, open and playing music as usual, to beat the s**t out of him? Not Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
