Re: Bird cages

Why is any interpretation necessary..? The OP simply asked where he might find bird cages - so simple - why should people need to justify themselves..? That would only spoil the fun for the habitual nay sayers and detractors who are always lurking to pounce with their egotistical assumptions and au...

Re: Bird cages

It's a shame to see these birds in small cages, when they are meant to-fly, I feed them every day and have great enjoyment just watching them, which is far better than keeping them in cages, it's just not right.

Re: Police corruption, drug tested in Hua Hin

Are you saying that you have been living here since early 1980? I don't believe you! You are stating that the cops are NOT picking on farangs, IN HUA HIN, BANGKOK, PHUKET, CHANG MAI and absolutely not in PATTAYA, then I dare to say you must be blind. A statement like ; they are just doing their job...
