Re: CIA Operated Secret Torture Site in Thailand

Re: Steel gates

Yet another Udonite suffers the consequences of a poorly built/maintained gate. She's in the hospital, apparently lost a lot of blood. https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8...

Re: China Watching

Loiter over a particular area.
I'm not familiar with Chinese satellite recce capability, so it's possible that existing satellites that cover the desired area have degraded/failed, or the Chinese have developed new technology that the satellite systems don't have.

Re: Thailand number 1

According to my amateur read of the stats at https://ddc.moph.go.th/dip/news.php?news=20942
Rayong's accident death rate per 100,000 is well more than double that of Udon.

Re: Chinese Restaurant!

There's an abundance of Chinese restaurants in Udon, some catering to the traditional family roundtable sort of meal. But I doubt you'll find 'Chow Mein' listed on any menu.....although I'm sure you can find a reasonable facsimile. https://www.google.com/search?q=%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99...

We've seen a variety of animals in our yard over the years, but this scat is evidence enough that there are cevits roaming the area. We have a few robusta coffee plants that have produced plenty of beans over the past season (just for fun, not for my consumption). There are enough remnants of the co...
