  1. Guess that's gonna be the plan: just see how far I come, and hold a taxi whenever I get stuck.
  2. Not the day of arrival or departure. Just dropping off a car at the terminal in the early evening, after dark. I love walking and my hotel will probably be close, in the King Kaew Rd./ Lat Krabang area, so why not? Not doing it to save money, but just for the heck of it.
  3. Drop-off is in front of the terminal.
  4. Not asking for justification. I love walking, especially when unobstructed by a suitcase. My hotel will be right outside of the airport. In theory, at least, could I walk there from Suvarnabhumi?
  5. Not doing it with luggage. Have to drop a rental car first, so can walk without carrying anything. But, is this a viable route? Parts of it look accessible to motorized traffic only.
  6. Just curious: is there a way for someone to reach the BKK Airport terminal on foot from the outside (Lat Krabang)? In particular, I am interested in actual walkable paths, not risking my life on the busy, clearly-not-suitable-for-pedestrian, roads leading directly to the terminal.
  7. Alhamdulilah. May our thoughts and prayers help his family gather strength.
  8. Muslims looking for a good time don't even visit Hat Yai anymore. They have different outlets for that purpose.
  9. No real answer, but I did a teaching course of a Philippine university and did not the diploma recognized. All in all, I am still teaching unqualified. Buyer be ware!
  10. Let the public decide what to do with this animal: chop him into bits, burn him alive or skin him and drop his bloody body into a pit full of flesh-eating maggots.😝
  11. Thoughts and prayers for the deceased and her family. Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun.🙌
  12. Tourism would be welcomed in the region, as long as the tourists keep in mind the ethnic and religious nature of the region. Small-scale eco-tourism could be a way of providing some extra income to the locals, while not infringing much on their way of life.
  13. The air in Chiang Mai works wonders on illnesses. I guess PM Sretthaksin (sp?) was right in his decision not to declare it a disaster area.
  14. I live in the deep south, among Malay muslims. There are very few farangs here, only a few families of US missionaries, whom I have no connection to and who hang around with each other exclusively anyway. Therefore I am happy to have two good Thai friends. They are of Malay ethnicity, so their first language is Malay instead of Thai, but they can speak English to a reasonable level, better than my Thai anyways. They are muslim, so - like me - they don't drink or do drugs, and they are well-educated and hold steady jobs. Both have young families. I've known them for about 7 years and we just get along well. It's important that personalities are compatible, something I find lacking when comparing myself to other farangs in Thailand, who often have radically different (political) views on life.
