  1. Pickpocketing requires a pocket to be picked, and skill and finesse are required. Slashing a backpack with a box cutter does not. The Pickpocketers Guild should be rightly offended.
  2. My truck has dark tinted windows. I beep the horn with impunity because the muppet in the offending Vios can't see me and assumes I'm a Thai and I probably have a gun, otherwise I wouldn't have beeped at him. It's a circular thing.
  3. Maybe, just maybe, it's because the tourists aren't coming. I can name at least a dozen formerly regular seasonal visitors (some for a fortnight, some for 3 months) that haven't come here since the lockdowns. 50/50 split between finding cheaper alternatives, and inflation ate their discretionary cash.
  4. I don't think soy-boy Luxon realises that Thais are not big on lamb consumption. Although I do believe a lot of Kiwi chicken feet find their way to Thailand.
  5. I suspect you are quite close to the truth. An excellent piece of prose, by the way. 🖕
  6. Take a trip to the Hospital on 2nd Road Soi 4. They have a huge glass (maybe perspex) exposed ceiling. They have a water recirculating pump that cools the ceiling. You could do it on the cheap with simple products purchased at Homepro or similar. If I had to guess, you could probably do it for 10k or less with plastic pipe, a water tank, and a pump. Running costs would be a bit of electrickery and whatever water evaporates. Bound to be far more efficient than any insulation methods.
  7. It's a steal at 3M baht. 🤪 https://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/aseannow.com/ How much is aseannow.com worth?

  8. Ask him who gets the 400k+ baht in the bank accounts of deceased O/OA visa holders, and why did he change the rules for no apparent reason?
  9. "When do we stop trusting everything the institutions say?' I haven't trusted any government since the Iraq war in 2003 (actually, possibly since 2001, but I won't go there). I'm a keen observer of cognitive dissonance. Show multiple undeniable and objective truths, and observe denial and disbelief based purely on emotions and ideology. I call it the razor blade effect. A play on Occam's Razor and Orwell's reference Parsons celebrating the Ministry of Plenty announcing record razor blade production, yet he can't find any razor blades. I often wonder why Orwell used razor blades as an example of cognitive dissonance. I suspect he actually was highlighting Occam's Razor - the most obvious answer is probably the correct one. But maybe I tink too mut.
  10. I'll file this information with their announcement that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had nothing to do with the outbreak, and Fauci's affirmation they were not funding GOF research at that institute, and that Ivermectin is only a horse wormer.
  11. Ever wondered what all the little black dots on the front and rear screens (and sometimes on the side windows) are for?
  12. I've noticed that when it is cloudy, the temperature is cooler. Maybe our weather is a result of solar flare (Milankovitch maximum/minimum) cycles, solar winds, the earth axis wobble, cosmic rays, cloud formation, and circular or elliptical orbit of the planet. Call me a Neanderthal, but I reckon that big orange coloured thing in the sky probably has a lot to do with the climate....anthropogenic influence, not so much. But we should never let the truth get in the way of a good fundraising scheme.
  13. The biggest mitigating factor to the cost of water is how many daughters you have. Usual monthly cost circa 700 baht in a condo. Daughter was away for a month, cost 288 baht. And the electrickery cost reduced by 30% also. Go figure.
  14. The only surprise is that lighting up on a flight is not yet considered a "hate crime". Only a matter of time...
