  1. Sort of reminds me of the old US A1 & T28. Great loiter time and much more accurate in a ground support role. You don't need an F35 for this role.
  2. Thought Thaksin was on the 12th floor and not the 6th
  3. The children shouls be arrested and prosecuted for abandoning their mother. Lots of sickos here in this sick society.
  4. He had acute kidney failure, pneumonia, a bleed on the brain and severe nerve damage. Not simple Dengue fever. I'm sure it just didn't happen instantly during the taxi ride.
  5. Old saying - you only get what you pay for. It may have been his choice to go to Bangkok Hospital. Government hospitals are hardly comfortable places to recover from any illness. Overworked and underpaid staff. Most care for patient care is handled by the family
  6. I've cycled the entire route and as best I can recall there are concrete posts blocking entry to motorcycles.
  7. Come on now. Anyone who is really so naive to believe that Pattaya is not a cesspool of prostitution must also believe in the Easter Bunny.
  8. More than enough temples around which could drying rice,
  9. It will do nothing but add more smoke & mirrors to make it look good. I've been a volunteer teacher in Isaan for close to 20 years trying to help Thai teachers teach English. I've assisted in numerous rural schools over the 20 year period (primary - secondary levels). There are many problems to overcome but the primary one is the lack of anywhere to use English consequently students may learn in school but quickly forget once they leave the classroom. Once home they typically speak Thai or the Isaan dialect with their family/friends. Granted there are a few students who like the English language and will increase their proficiency on their own using free online resources like YouTube etc. One should remember that Bangkok schools & the rural Isaan schools are no where near the same. Rural schools lack resources and quality teachers who can speak English much less teach it. Teaching equipment which is broken will typically lay in a pile under a stairwell due to a lack of funds to repair it. Many classrooms are still relying on greenboards with chalk with little by way of more modern teaching equipment and the list goes on and on.
  10. My wife of 49 years did the same but in Sattahip. Next year will be our 50th wedding anniversary.
  11. I believe you're incorrect about freezing killing parasites. It's my understanding that the only way to kill parasites and their eggs is by cooking thoroughly.
  12. I totally disagree with a volunteer military as it will turn out to be mercenary force just like the US military which has turned into a total failure. Thailand should follow the lead of Switzerland and have every eligible person perform military service in support of the country. Abusing conscripts, making them into "slaves" for senior officers needs to be stopped immediately. JMHO
  13. And what are these AseanNow Community Standards?
