Pheu Thais' (mostly rural) voters

I guess you're not really up on Thai voters ve Thai taxpayers.  Most of Pheu Thai's voters are the farmers, taxi drivers, club workers (all flavours) and golf caddies. Most don't pay any tax except the VAT.  In fact for the Bangkok club workers (etc) they're lovin' it.

Yep, that was me who laughed at your comment. But, I believe a lot of truth in that stated observation. (He developed COPD and cancer, but on the sly he asked, his daughter who smoked, if she'd give him a cigarette). 😢

[Taurine for life extension -- if you're old already why wait for the research on humans?]

From muscleandstrength.com: Taurine occurs naturally in foods with protein, such as meat or fish. The human body uses taurine for actions in cells. One example is that taurine is used for energy production. Taurine also helps the body process bile acid and balance fluids, salts and minerals, among other actions.

 

Why not...  Seems to make sense to me.

[Anglican Church]

Hi @CrossBones, You certainly came to the right forum to ask for help. Sadly, instead of shutting their trap because they don't want to believe in God and have a warped sense of who and what God is, you're going to receive a lot of venomous comments. I think "freeworld" gave you a very good list of the churches and their affiliation in his comment.  There is also the Bangkok International Christian Church, which is located at 2089 Sukhumvit. (I know nothing about them. I just stumbled on to their facebook page because I was looking for the name of a church that I thought was on Sukhumvit Soi 6, which I had attended when I first arrived 26+ years ago. Maybe I'm confusing it with the one on Soi 10.)  Anyway, at the time (and now) I live(d) too far from that area to catch a cab to get into town and back (I'm in East Lam Luk ka now) on a Sunday morning (or any time for that matter).

 

I wish you the best in your search and take care. 

 

Google is you friend.

I concur with your statement about the potential cause(s) of long COVID.   According to what I've read a large amount of people who had taken "the jab" ... but still became infected with the COVID virus have reported the symptoms of long COVID.  I wish you the best and hope it clears up sooner than later.

He's not been found guilty of any crime. That was just a General in charge of some of the investigation that "declared" him guilty.  IMHO< this is just a bunch of deflecting their own corruption.

Considering that there was no trial or court, Gen Winai, just "declared" him guilty, it's my opinion that they are probably projecting their own 'crimes' against Gen. Surachate.

Come back when you been here a little longer and are not living on Sathorn or Sukhumvit Soi 11.

It's about time. I worked with many Thai Engineers during the years that I worked in Thailand. All very smart and capable people.  They will first attend the nuclear physics and engineer universities, meanwhile the company that plunges into the nuclear business will use expat engineers, physicists, operators and construction consultants to design, build and manage the plants, all the while training Thai operators, engineers, etc. to take over from them in the future.

 

The nah sayers on here haven't a clue about the capabilities and intellect of the Thai people who are not part of the entertainment, accomodation and leeches that they associate with most of the time.

I don't mean to start an argument, but an oil tanker does not want seawater in their tanks. It is much more likely that this is bilge oil and water, which any ship could have discharged into the GOT. It is very sad either way and I hope they find the culprit.
