UbonEagle

Classic timing in the wake of record breaking heatwaves and smoke/pollution 😊

Only solution… get out of there for few months between March and May

Rarely here this time of year (weather 🤮) but I’m surprised by Ubon readings of 150 or higher, when generally the readings here are much lower than CM for example. While there is no doubt a light haze around (I put that more down to the blistering temps and near dead still wind), there’s no noticeable smoke odour, and I don’t think Ubon is large or congested enough to have high 2.5 from industrial factors. Going to Oz with the Mrs on Wednesday but like most here all I can say is….bring on the rain ☔️

What a joke when we regularly read stories of 50yr sentences for fraud or embezzlement….who knows what they actually serve tit

Flew into new terminal first time last night unawares, and I have to say the whole shuttle train etc functioned very well, no different in time to walking from some of the further reaches of the original terminal building god forbid it looks like they’ve just copied Singapore Changi instead of trying to put their own spin of Thainess on it 😊

For most of Thailand it’ll be the 4 days 13-16th tho in tourist areas they will undoubtedly milk it for a few days either side

Another hare brained spur of the moment idea and impossible to enforce….you idiots

Of course it’ll still be going on unofficially with said spokesperson getting their little cut of the cream

A week or 2 visit only back to TH between March-May while I’m still working, not planning any different when I’m retired 😊

I’m sure one of the main issues is many Thai kids don’t want to do dirty jobs they think below them. This is propagated by the modern habit (in most countries) of parents not pushing their kids to get out and get a job, anything to start, and you go from there… instead they often prop up their lazy entitled lifestyles, they are imo doing their kids a disservice in the long run

Imagine this in PC western countries, she would be publicly shamed and shouted down by the do-gooders

I would say, incompetent as they generally are, most Thai cops are very chilled and good at de escalating situations who knows this plod may have got carried away but the numscull kiwi lads are going to learn the hard/expensive way from this misadventure

I just hope she sticks solid and doesn’t accept a payoff so this grub faces the full consequences of his actions bet there’s some nervous local officials who are no doubt complicit in the “elephant sanctuary” scam ….

Finally catching up with the tech many other Asian countries have been using for years 🤔

Clearly the map shows ridiculous levels of burning in nth Cambodia get serious, if nothing auctioned expel the ambassador, stop all funding to the country, stop border trade im sure they’d come around then

A good dose of nitrogen for this scum would be suitable

Agree with so many comments on here about service, bad attitude, outdated IT… unfortunately I’ve persevered with them over the years for the direct flight convenience from Australia but only a last resort these days

Hallelujah this parasite has probably been at this game the whole time

As many have said anywhere coastal away from major infrastructure is fairly good. saying that, coastal living is not for everyone, with long wet seasons and persistent humidity. As for the mainland, the far eastern provinces like Ubon Ratchathani often has lowest AQI numbers this time of year, for a number of reasons I won’t go into here…not great but better than most other regions

Always been aware of the retailers but never even thought about restaurants… sure the wife’s RR has always sold beer if someone wanted during that time

Every second thing that happens in TH there are calls for “PM to investigate” says a bit about the shambolic state of politics in the country ffs as if this should even raise a mention at govt level

Hallelujah 😊😊😊 been waiting 2yrs for this jetstar are not starting until September

Nice stay in Bangkok Hilton then life ban hopefully for another wannabee gangster

What a joke more propping up of the corrupt duopoly in this market break the duopoly encourage craft brewing will help tourism without a doubt and lower the ridiculous 🤬ing duty on imported wine

Nothing short of a rigid enforcement of the road rules with accompanying punishment is going to change anything
