Trump will continue to act like an arrogant a-hole so I'm thinking that's going to outweigh a good economy. His only legislative "victory" has been the tax revisions which much like Obama's ACA was rammed through with no support from the other side...

nice place, big tourist draw, not too far from Udon and for most of the way the roads are quite good until you get to Nam Som/Na Yung area and they go winding up through the hills. Best to NOT go on a weekend or Thai holiday since the tourist coach buses will be jamming the road up through the hills...

that 1000 baht burger must have been an "Artisan" burger eh? There's a place in Charlotte NC run by some Korean-American guys called "Bang-Bang Burger" which has quite good "Artisan" burgers (what the Hell makes it Artisan??) but the prices are ridiculous at $12-15 a burger..

or, it is expectations.. I've spoken Thai in some venues and had the person look at another Thai and ask them what I'm saying.. In those situations when my wife is present I've asked her, "was I speaking correctly?" and she's told me that my pronunciation was perfect. So, I'd conclude that some Thai...

for someone who likes to putter around with small engines.. - Troybilt 21 inch with Honda GCV160 engine. Good deck but engine needs rebuild. - No name brand says "made in Germany" but that's likely a Chinese village in southeastern China. Engine starts easy and runs but burns more oil than a 2 strok...

interesting that they slide through Customs with seemingly no tariff?? If only all international deliveries were this clean and simple...

Semper Fi guy.. Don't see any connection to Piccolo Roma. It is being run by a 30 something Thai woman who speaks good English.. The Pizza is more like Little Italian.. Tasty crust and I had the Pepperoni.. For 199 baht a better deal and eating experience in the new place than Pizza Company... I've ...

Pizza Dose.. New restaurant on the east side about 500 meters northeast of the Horse racing track.. New building, seating for 20 in the A/C portion, sitting for 12 on the outside roofed patio (with fans).. Decent pizza at 199 for a 12 inch pie. Smoothies, coffee, cakes etc.. Located on So Na Sai her...

Semper Fi... a couple of years ago when going by Nong Bua Market I had to slow and stop for a couple of elderly folks jumping over the barrier to cross the road.. My good deed resulted in no issues for me but the guy behind me that slammed his brakes on ended up getting rear ended by the next bad dr...

so.. what does the investment climate for 30 year long term bonds for many western coastal cities say?? I think you'll find groups are still buying them so how could the outlook be so bleak???

nearly 170mm of rain in the last 7 days.. Sure needed it.. https://www.tmd.go.th/en/province_weath ... mber=48354

ten years from now I'm sure there will be quite a network of rail systems linking today's mother China with all the old tributary states of imperial China... Add to them significant expressway system which will follow the rails..

I reckon if you get introspective about it all you could make up a list of those things that make you happy, or at least less unhappy.. If where you're at checks the blocks on most of them I guess that's good enough.. That's not saying if you've got a lot of downchecks that moving from Thailand to s...

I'm not familiar with the location of that office.. Could you put up a googlemaps link showing exactly where it is located?
