It all comes down to what you are prepared to sacrifice in your lifestyle.

So rather than worrying on how to produce more energy , how about looking at ways to reduce our needs on say electricity. A few years back Thailand's one major supplier of gas was Myanmar and they had a plan shutdown of the fields during the summer. The Thai Government requested that all major busi...

Pip, appreciate your honesty Personally W, and I won't be around for it, but I would be more concerned about the future impact of A I on the human society than I would be about the longer term potential impact of fossil fuel, but that is just me. A I and its impact, good or bad, will here long befo...

pip, your view of which you entitled to, just as much as I have. I just happend to disagree, and disagree to a great extent as I think such views are selfish. I have never proscribed to the 'I'm all right jack' philosophy. Take care of me and mine, of course, but also be part of a broader community...

Pip has some good points, the transition away from fossil fuels will take time. However to claim to be a fan of fossil fuels and the resulting pollution, is akin to those who were fans of cigarettes in the 1960s claiming smoking was good for you. Your use of a metaphor but hardly an analogy. It all...

Hmmm have to think about that Ok just did, it took 3...

People can forecast the demised of fossil fuels, but the reality is, at present and for the immediate if not medium distant future, the demand for fossil fuels by the World, continues to increase from year to year (if one looks at the demand measure by Million of Barrels per day and World consumptio...

In the a number of countries, courts can prohibit the media displaying evidence of crime that may be considered be prejudicial to a Person having a fair trial or someone being tried in the public domain before they get to trial. In many other countries it maybe a He or a She or even a Service Provid...

[/quote] So many hypotheticals ....... but so little (video) evidence. At the end of the day, I am quite happy to accept, based on real evidence, that the NZ bros were just a couple of lawless thugs, and poor old Sgt Somsak, acting in accordance with his duty, was the victim of their thuggery. But I...

I agree, pippo - if you transgress the local laws, you should be accountable. The point I am making is that we don't know what lead up to the altercation between the Thai BiB, and the NZ brothers. Take this report in the local press for instance: Even in NZ (I assume), and certainly in the various ...

This helps a lot for the legitimate Tourists and or Expats wishing to live in Thailand

The point I was trying to make JS was that if they did the same in NZ they would be in the Sh..t and if he did it in Australia they would definitely be in the Sh..t as it is a criminal offence on OZ, so that both cases probably they would probably be looking at time in jail, although granted the jai...

Whichever way you attempt to spi this story regarding the two Kiwis, anyone with a grain of sense never attacks the local plod even though they may be the most irritating obnoxious xenophobic people you have ever met. More so when your a tourist , no matter how entitled you think you are. I have on...

So let me pose a question If I am the Owner of that house and I come back and find some undesirable squatters living in my house (assuming the locks are still the same as when I let) Am I allowed to sign an agreement with Tenant of my choosing and then have that Tenant to move onto my house with und...

You also have to ask the question of how these squatters first gained entry into the the house since they were not born in it and were not invited into the house, by the Owner or another Authorized person, that first time. If they didn't walk through an open door (which is highly unlikely) then they...

A fair few stories regarding angry or drink Swiss, Brits and "Russians" have featured in Thai media recently. However, this pair of New Zealanders seem to have taken it to a new level. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2024/03/17/two-new-zealanders-are-arrested-for-assaulting-a-phuket-officer/ I ...
