While carrying out teaching in Udon Thani province, I saw too often abuse physically of children, ( nothing incurring permanent damage ) , after mentioning it a few times, learnt, that it was a complete waste of time as Teachers have the right. The Thai culture to put teachers on the Podium and almo...

All she wanted was your MONEY for her and her family. Move on and find one that is into you and only you.

Be like looking for Rocking Horse Poo at the Kentucky Derby

Just retrived my latest bill from a water-logged post box. The amount is already including the discount as I used more than last month , but paying less, cannot be bothered to calculate the discount, just happy to pay what they ask, considering the ( for me ) excessive use of Air-con during this bil...

The alcoholics have an opportunity for a new lease on life.

Should read, the alcoholics have a new outlook on ending their lives earlier .

Quoted from SFG ' One big problem with Thailand is people take a job for every reason under the sun other than the correct one...being uniquely gifted and called to the task with a genuine desire to serve your fellow man. People here take any job because they are desperate for work, or [ for other r...

This AM , 0600 to be precise, the tail end of the rain still very gently easing off. Very pleasant but expect humidity to rise a bit today.

Despite all local eateries in main re-opening, it is surprising to me at least that most of the punters are still staying awy, it would appear the NO ALCOHOL is possibly stopping them. This shows a very shallow base of patrons, loving the food but because for one hour or 90 mins in a day while eatin...

The problem has always been IF there was an underlying health condition that this VIRUS attached itself to. Like if you suffer from a sever respiratory disease and catch Covid 19, you are more liable to die, now is the cause of DEATH Civid 19 or the fact that the underlying health condition worsened...

Hmmm debatable, I've never seen four dots used and is it a fourth dot or a period? I'm sticking with three dots myself.

Philosophically, I'm with you. It's an ellipsis followed by a period.

Four or more is a pause for effect as it were

Possible good news for the Nong Prajak foot massage shops then

As long as it is the local population breaking the curfew, why worry , with the Governmental Talk about extending the Emergency decre34e until the end of June and the Military willing to make sure it is enacted correctly, I think foreigners should avoid testing the water in breaking Curfew . Wais an...

Interesting article I read this AM, concerning China and its Scientists, they seem to be closing in on a pill that can activate certain parts of the immune system, delaying the onset of this virus by possible a few weeks , allowing time for the body to produce its own anti-bodies to fight the bug. H...

Part of the problem seems to stem from a mis-understood statement in answer to a question even I do not understand regarding a bit of electronic wizardry bought online from a supplier. Which I would never do rather pay the extra and go to a shop/retailer where at least I CAN EITHER TAKE IT BACK OR A...

Damn not really understand that, Feet are at least one metre from your head and breathing on my feet will not give me Covid, seems over the top to me. But heyho, that's what it is, so be it .

Continued through some of the night, rain, sometimes heavy, this morning hard surfaces dry and the rest, well all soaked up, the plants/flowers look happier, no real wind damage , this morning windless and still with hazy sun .

Yes last time I was there 2/3 days ago, it was obvious to me that a delivery was ion the wings, I expect they are waiting for a container or something to be cleared by the incompetent Customs at port of entry.

Seems to have moved on quicker than I thought, all serene now and cooler

Yes rain in the metropolis of Nongnakham, quite a sufficiency, but expect it to stop by 1730 or thereabouts , not too heavy just right to soak into the soil the feed the plants. It is the result of a Thunderstorm tracking from the west going in a North easterly direction , possibly from that Typhoon...

AS you have so pointedly stated on another post DM, the locals think this is all over , but it is only the end of the beginning , karma may come back with a vengeance

What about the Foot massage salons , I really need a Foot Massage .
