.....My wife had to go to Bangkok today, and she was adamant that she would rather drive there and back herself than risk her life in a minivan. .......:cheers: Wise choice in my opinion. The stress, fatigue and elevated BP of driving yourself cannot be as bad as sitting in the back of a van on (as...

Try to get a Thai to eat lamb. Success rate is probably about 5% at most. They had some very good chops at the Christmas Eve buffet we went to. Convinced the wife to take a bite and she really suffered through the chewing and swallowing. Little daughter almost ran in horror as she goes to a petting ...

Maybe I should start a new thread now, "The Floods of 2012"? If it started raining today, the floods would likely start all over again. Story and charts below. Pete :cheers: Smith warns of dam peril Fears grow of another massive flood disaster http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/274575/s...

This issue has had an impact on exchange rates since it started about two weeks ago. That's an assumption on my part, but both the Dollar and Pound Sterling has been strengthening. Perhaps all this debt and who is going to be responsible, and the additional expenditures coming about because of the f...
