I think minimal health care beats dying for want of the proper 100B worth of meds as happens far too often out in Isaan.

That said, I respect your opinion, Giotto, though I'm not sure it is...

I'm with you, Chill. Under the new government the lives of the vast underclass will improve quickly and dramatically which I strongly favor.

I predicted this outcome in this forum some months ago....

The purpose of absurdly high dining prices is to insulate the hoi-polloi from the riff-raff, to mark the consumer as a member of the hoi-polloi, and, of course, to pay for the restaurant owners many...

The first of these links led me to one of those "you have signs of a virus" scams that won't let you out without closing the link with task manager or shutting down your internet connection and...

There are tons of pharmacies close to the airport who would be glad to sell you some Kamagra. You don't need to go all the way into town for it. Ask a taxi driver.

I think it might be sketchy...

Is the Suvanablahblah Airport tranportation thread up to date?

Is the planned mass transit shuttle into town (Makasan?) operating yet?

Same as say, $10 for a stick of gum.

A rip is a rip.

It's not whether you are convinced it offers you value. It's whether you are gullible enough to be...

Methinks you are: 1. Making (incorrect) assumptions about me,
and 2. putting words in my mouth.


$37 for a book download is a rip off, pure and simple. It doesn't matter if you're Bill Gates,...

$37 for a downloaded book is robbery. Unless it's a textbook. Then it's grand larceny.

$37.00 for a downloaded work of fiction is thievery, pure...

Most people who liked Trink (as did I) will like this: www.bangkokeyes.com

It's good, but monthly instead of weekly. Not competitive with this forum so I think Jackson will leave the link in here.

Folks, I used to have the same attitude as Frenchy. I got loose a few times, and twice got some 24 hour bug that made me get violently ill, but quickly passed.

Then I learned my lesson.
