Beer drinking in Thailand: Does Leo preserve brain-cells better than Chang?
You guys might know.... The video I posted, HENDRIX-with-Vietnam-footage.... Is just so....filled with stark memories of the days I was growing up...before I hit 20....back in 1969. Hard to explain the super-deep feelings that well up when watching this video.... And, it's kind of an amazing video....in my very humble opinion. But you might not know, unless you had been my age...at that time in history...in the USA. Impossible to communicate the feeling....really.... -

Pedestrian Struck on Crossing by Motorbike: Suffers Broken Ribs and Ruptured Spleen
Picture and video courtesy of Khoasod. Once again, a pedestrian has been injured while using a crossing, after being struck by a motorbike. The incident, which took place on September 19, has left the victim with broken ribs and a ruptured spleen. The victim's family hopes this tragic event serves as a warning for road users to be more cautious. CCTV footage captured the moment the pedestrian, a man carrying a backpack, waited at the crossing outside Sathira Dhammasathan on Watcharaphon Road. Two cars stopped to allow him to cross, and the pedestrian acknowledged the gesture with a nod of thanks before beginning to walk across the four-lane road, which is divided into two outbound and two inbound lanes. However, just as he was halfway across the road, a speeding motorbike approached from the right and collided with him, sending his body flying nearly 10 metres. The motorbike also crashed to the ground following the impact. The victim’s relatives reported that he had just finished work and was on his way to pick up his wife and child when the accident occurred. Despite the crossing being a designated safe area for pedestrians, the motorbike struck him with such force that he suffered severe injuries. The motorbike rider, a 33-year-old man, did not flee the scene and voluntarily presented himself at Khan Na Yao police station. The police determined that the motorcyclist had been driving recklessly, and the rider admitted fault, signing a statement to that effect. The injured man’s family expressed their frustration, emphasising that this was not the first time a pedestrian had been severely hurt due to a driver’s negligence. They called on all road users to exercise caution and show more care for pedestrians, hoping this incident would serve as a lesson for others -- 2024-09-22 RPReplay_Final1726901912.mp4 -

Price of olive oil at Makro
Although I don't have a Makro near me in Bangkok, I bring olive oil from the UK each year. Much, much better value than Villa market. Il Casolare now £14-£16 per litre in the UK. Still cheaper, and better than Thailand. Few other quality "extra virgin" at reasonable prices in Thailand... -

The annoyance of the ++ prices
So here lies part of the issue. Is "service charge" a gratuity (TIP) and passed to the staff? I suspect NOT in Thailand. I hate the ++ but have to accept it depending on the establishment - suggest others do too. In the UK, VAT @20% is always included. Many places in UK will add a "discrentionary service charge" of typically 12.5%. This can legitimately be deducted with no issue (in my experience). I then will give the server/s a CASH Tip of greater amount if warranted. -

Foreign Pilots Temporarily Allowed to Fly Domestic Routes? The Labour Ministry is considering a temporary allowance for foreign pilots to fly domestic routes under wet lease agreements, according to Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn. While this arrangement is being explored for one specific airline, further requests from other airlines will be evaluated individually.

Stealing a Federal Election
Quotes a Wikipedia article, which is nothing but a biased hitpiece, and then expects to be taken seriously... It has nothing to do with "how elections are conducted", it is about how a small group of people repeatedly visited the same dropboxes and deposited hundreds/thousands of ballots between them. Nothing suspicious about that at all.... Don't believe your lying eyes right? Again, you are not understanding what constitutes evidence, hardly surprising based on the claptrap you continue to spam this thread with. Yes we all get that you believe that the 2020 election was the most secure and perfect in history and that it led to your man Dementia Joe "winning". Nobody is going to change your mind, and your inane rantings are not going to change anyone's either. The thread is about whether people believe the election was 'stolen' or not, not who 'won' it.- 1
