  1. I hope so. I have 2 x 3,000 litre storage tanks for fresh rain water. One is just about empty. and the other is down to about 1,000 litres. The good thing is that I managed to replace all the water pipes and taps in the cooler dry season. Now all we need is a couple of weeks of good rain to wash the roof and fill the tanks. The bad thing is when it rains the blasted scrub grass grows like crazy, and at 79 it gets harder to cut down every year.
  2. Very few Thais waste water in the rural countryside. They know how precious it is.
  3. We had 38.2mm in November and December combined. In the whole of 2023 we had 740.2 mm. How about you. Yet this stupid government and TAT next month want to waste billions of litres of water, literally down the drain for an extended Songkran.
  4. IMHO the only way that this war and genocide will end and the hostages released, will be when the Israeli people remove Netanyahu from power and proscribe the Likud party as a terrorist organisation. The were proscribed in the 1940s once before for terrorism. It would be down to the Israeli people to do it legally through an election, though the Israeli allies and weapons suppliers would have to do their part, as would the banks and financiers.
  5. Out here in rural Kamphaeng Phet by the Mae Wong national park, we have only had 13.1 mm of rain this year.
  6. Were you actually at the scene and did you see what actually happened? It is HER house. Was he invited or not?
  7. It was there on Friday afternoon 15th March 2024 around 5:30 pm (at least for me). I had to scroll down to the bottom of the list to find it. It shows on my Bangkok bank bankbook as an FTT and on the bank statements as an international transfer.
  8. I have a similar problem on other topics and TBH I am getting bored with some of the comments and the posters of the 'confused' emoji, who never respond when I ask why they are confused.
  9. After so many years, various governments and coups, proof would be very hard to find and may come with many different price tags.
  10. In your opinion, which is just as valuable as mine, or not, he committed a crime. You have no evidence that he did commit a crime, but you believe he did and therefore should be punished. My view is similar to yours, except that if you allege that he committed this alleged crime, you need cast iron proof and evidence that he actually DID commit a crime. Evidence that you don't appear to have. I could allege that you for example broke the law on les majeste and that you should be punished. The problem I would have, is that I have no evidence, and quite rightly, the charge would be thrown out, simply because of the lack of evidence that would stand up in court. What you believe, and what I believe, are meaningless unless it can be verified and backed up. If you wish for another example, Thaksin was legally the PM of Thailand from 2000 to 2006. He won the election in 2000 and won the 2004 election with an overall majority and did so openly and legally. That is a fact. He was illegally removed from power by a military coup. Another fact. Were the coup leaders ever punished for that. No. Another fact. Going into a grey area, if there had NOT been a military coup, would Thaksin have been charged or not? BTW if you claim that he did, it is up to you to prove it, and not me to disprove it.
