  1. I spent a month in Phuket one day. One day in Phuket was enough to last a lifetime. There are so many other great places to visit in Thailand.
  2. Not surprising. When I first started coming to Thailand 25 years ago, you rarely saw overweight children. Now, with the increased sugar consumption and lack of activity due to too much screen time, it is getting hard to find children that are not overweight not to mention adults.
  3. Hi all. I'm going to be taking the night train to Bangkok and taking my Wave with me. This will be my first time to take the bike this way since they moved from Hua Lamphong to the new Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station. (Bang Sue Grand). Before the move, they unloaded the bikes right on the platform next to the baggage car. I have searched and can't find out if they do the same at the new station (I doubt it due to the new layout) or if they have some other procedure. Any first hand experience would be appreciated. David
  4. A few years would probably not be enough. Unlike Thailand, most U.S. jurisdictions have tolling statutes that stop the statute of limitations for serious offenses from expiring if a person removes themself from the jurisdiction.
  5. I have to call BS on this one. My girlfriend, a Malaysian passport holder, and I hit multiple US national parks on our last two trips there. She was charged the same price as everyone else. No one asks for your passport in the US when going to national parks or basically anywhere else. David
  6. If Grab really cared about the drivers it would help them get properly registered and get the correct license. And we know that will happen because Grab cares so much. ????
  7. Is Social Security sending the "Are you alive ?" letter this year? I know they suspended it last year. David
  8. As we say in the American South, you only find two things in the middle of the road ... yellow stripes and dead armadillos. David
  9. Highly recommend Dr. Thanawat at Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai. He did two cardiac stents for me about 2 years ago. First class doc. He was on faculty at CM Medical school until 3 years ago and he still goes there every Friday to lecture the interventional cardiology fellows on the latest techniques. David
  10. Austria or Bangkok. Does it matter? He will never be prosecuted.
  11. 600 million baht has the potential for some very large brown envelopes. ???? David
  12. Thailand should follow the Singapore process. A little jail therapy followed by deportation. David
