Re: Another fishing query
I watch the fishermen in Nong Khai fishing the Mekong everyday,I rarely see them catch anything!When I have seen them catch something,it is not very big.The same with the guys in the boats trying to net fish,rarely anything in the nets!

Re: Amber phase of red lights Udon
Part of the reason people run red lights here is that often they must wait for stupid lights. That is, the government spends money to install counters showing the time you must wait...tick tock, tick tock. What benefit is that, except perhaps for pedestrians. The timers just seem to make you more l...

I was in this sort of situation several times. I just walked over and very delicately and politely let them know that they may not be aware of it, but they are offending all the Thais around them. They corrected their behavior immediately :oops: and thanked me for letting them know. The Thais in th...
