Mekong

Thong Lor (Thai ทองหล่อ) is a section of Bangkok in the northern Watthana district. Source It appears that yet again you were incorrect, the correct way of spelling it is of course the Thai way ทองหล่อ. The English translation is not literal and it can be written as Tong Lor, Tonglor and even Tong Lo. In your rush to try and get one up on me, all you succeeded in doing was demonstrating to the board what a fool you are. You really are a sad old man with nothing better to do with your life, I feel sorry for you For the record Thong Lor is also the way my wife spells it, she has only lived in Thailand for 55 years so must be wrong and a German tourist must know better Why not listen to your own advice and exchange your usual bubble of bad mood in favour of looking positive upon life and what is left of it.

I can’t honestly remember the last time I was in the vicinity of “Lower Sukhumvit” i.e. Rama I to Asoke stretch but we’ll over 10 years now, if I do visit Sukhumvit tends to be Ekkami or Tong Lor and even that is very rarely nowadays. 2001/2 was different, I was there everyday I mean everyday for about 14 months.Took time out from work and had an apartment on Soi 13, those were the days when The Living Room, Clinton Plaza and Soi 10 Beer Bars were all at the top of the Soi, how the fuck I lived to tell the tale I don’t know, but I was over 20 years younger then mind.

What do you when “bending the rules” back home such as Police Force and Elections garnishes positive results, for some Thais it is seen as the norm. (especially the level of society where golfers come from)

I was thinking the same thing, unintended consequences.

Whilst I accept that us Brits do have a history, we were not the only ones there have been many Genocides orchestrated over the years the majority of which were not by the Brits but don’t let the truth get I the way of a good bit of Brit Bashing Even in the USA they came to an agreement with the indigenous people only to stick to the 13 Colonies and let them keep the rest. It was post revolution that the USA reneged against this agreement in the name of Manifest Destiny but let’s just blame the Brits

6,000,000 v 28,000, a bit fucking rich talking about crimes against humanity coming from a German.

The United States and Truman were guilty of war crimes by establishing Israel in 1948 when the British left Palestine against the UN Resolution 181 The US trying to police the world always leads to fuck ups

2? Looks like 4 to me, then again not had my eyes tested for over 5 years. Actually your “Application Error” theory could come into play, but maybe not as imagined The article stated “Beneath the slab, there are support beams designed to bear the weight.” What if the support beams ware also removed with the slabs during the night time to allow full access and one or more were not fitted when the slab(s) were put in place during the day. In this case the Engineering May have been correct but the implementation (application) of reinstating the slabs was incorrect (failure)

I thought that was you getting dressed for a date

This Photo shows it better

I know, but it was too good of an opportunity to miss

What the Concrete or your argument? 😜

So you “Lay “a flat piece of wood on a solid surface” but “Doesn’t need to be a solid surface to be fit for purpose” Which is it? If it doesn’t need to be a solid surface why bring up the piece of wood on a solid surface as opposed to two bricks? Also “Application Failure” WTF is that when it’s at home. The application is fixed, to cover a hole in the road during daytime to carry traffic, a simple application. Obviously the concrete did fail or else if Wouldn’t be in the hole, so what caused it to fail. Overweight Lorry Maximum Load on Thai Roads is 35 Tonne so the slab / support arrangement SHALL be designed for 35 x 1.5 = 52.5 Tonnes. An 8 wheeler net weight is approx 12 Tonnes so it can carry 23 Tonnes. Density of soil is 1500 g / 1.5 Tonne per SQM so at 35 Tonnes the lorry would be carrying 15.33 SQM. I order for the lorry to exceed the design limit of 52,5 Tonnes it would need to have 27 SQM of soil on it which is 75% more load. It is clear to the naked eye that the lorry is not carrying 175% capacity Design Failure The Slab and it supports we’re not correctly designed for the 52.5 Tonne load. Whether Slab thickness, lack of rebar, insufficient supports or whatever. A Civil Engineer would need to review the design data to ascertain the point of failure. Manufacturing Error Was the concrete used to form the slab subject to a concrete slump test, i.e. Compressive Strength, Water Permeability etc

But if the slab had of been on a solid surface there would still be a solid surface in place when slab removed. How would MEA be able to carry out underground work if a solid surface in the way? The article clearly states “Concrete Slab” singular if 2 Separate it would have said “SlabS” But then we are just hypothesising.

If that is the case why is slab bent in the middle? would expect slab to be straight if it didn’t fail.

Definitely MEA fault. Even if truck carrying 36 Tonnes the concrete slab should have been designed for 54 Tonnes (1.5 times SWL, Safe Working Load)

Legal actions will be taken separately between those who issued the commands to create these images and those who shared the images on social media. So Pattaya Mail will now be charged for sharing the images online?

The “You Came Here” one would be funny if it wasn’t true.

What is the point of alcohol sales stop at midnight? It ay work for Thais who buy a bottle and mixers but Farang. Tourist tend to buy drinks one at a time. But the law change is aimed at “Boosting Tourism” and we all know what Anutin thinks of “Dirty Farangs” This guy was in charge of governments Covid-19 vaccinations so no surprise he has fucked this up.

Shortly after having returned to Mar-a-Lago in 2021, Trump is walking along the beach, feeling pretty dejected about everything. He decides to go for a swim, but ends up going a little too far from the shore, and since he’s in poor condition, he begins to drown. Suddenly, three teenaged boys spot him from the beach, rush into the water, and rescue him. Back on the beach, Trump, after regaining his breath, thanks the three for saving his life. “Anything I can do for you guys, name it!” he says. “Bigly! I alone can fix everything!” The first boy says, “Well, I want to go to West Point, but my grades are lousy.” “Say no more,” Trump responds. “All those teachers work for the Deep State anyway. I’ll get you a spot at West Point.” The second boy says, “Well, I can’t find a girlfriend.” Trump says, “Just grab them by—well, I’ll talk to Melania and hook you up!” The third boy says, “I want to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.” Trump, a bit puzzled, says, “You’re only eighteen! You’ve got your whole life ahead of you! Why are you thinking about your funeral?” The boy replies, “Because once I go home and tell my father that I just saved you from drowning, he’s going to kill me!”

You may object but you are definitely not appealing.

Defence considered and accepted, free to proceed.

So he didn’t make the donation then, the government did in which pass a mere pittance. When, say, New Zealand makes Foreign Aid donations how does the NZ Herald report it, New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs makes donation or Nanaia Mahuta donates money? I assume it is not the later. Terrible Headline from Thaiger News (No surprise there) making out that an individual is “Mr Jai Dee” whereas in fact he just signed off on transferring Thai taxpayers money.

Typical “Dumbed Down Math (no S as they can’t spell)” by a Murcia website. 80 out of 2400 is 3.333%, closer to 3% not 4%, well it was when following the Rules for Rounding Numbers I was taught at about the age of 7 by a decent education system. 3.33% of 1 Million is 33,000 which is nowhere near “about 40,000” 40,000 is more than 20% greater than 33,000 Rant Over
