Hi,

"To be honest does not bother me one iota, I have probably not gone to a nightlife area at nighttime this millennium,"

Same, and I do think that at some point NP and SC will likely be gone (or moved to the outskirts?), but it is kinda funny to be hearing that it will happen soon for the last 20 years.

Hi,

"I imagine Nana Plaza will end up going the same way in the not too distant future."

That's what people have been saying for the last 20 years or so.

Hi,

"Didn't Khun Sanuk own the nanaplaza domain in the past? "

Jigger owns/owned nanaplaza.com

Hi,

Guys, why are you so obsessed with this thread? Why want it locked? Don't like it, just don't bloody read it.

Hi,

"Donate Vets to give castration and the problem will greatly reduce."

Totally agree. It is the most humane way to reduce the soi dog problem.

Hi,

Odd. The IMDB rating is only 4.7, which is why I didn't bother watching this.

Hi,

" TG medical treatment costs are likely to be between 2.4 and 8 million US$"

So, about equal to 4-13 golf trips for Trump. And he had how many at tax payers' expense?

"Trump's golf rounds cost the American taxpayer approximately $600,000 on average."

where did that number come from?

I think that came from Wikipedia, but do a search and there are plenty more figures/sources

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=percentage+of+renewable+energy+in+uk

Looks like it was already 47% in first half of 2020:

Hi,

In 2017 already 28% of the UK's power came from renewables, up from less than 10% in 2011. I am certain that has only grown the last 3 years, and will continue to do so.

Hi,

"Germany got the experience for the kamps..."

Cavanami, you are on thin ice. And please don't forget the internment camps the US had for the Japanese during the same period before you start accusing others.
(And yes, I am well aware the cruelty was not on the same level, but still....)

Hi,

I know you are an oil/gas guy , but seriously the world has to start using renewable alternatives.
Using non-renewable source of fuel is not sustainable. Sooner or later they WILL run out.

From that article you quoted:
"The good news is that the industry could readily eliminate many of the damaging side effects that do exist. Indeed, pressure for it to do so is mounting"

As for Cavanami's comment about the election having been stolen, that doesn't warrant a reply.

Hi,

Or maybe your predecessor is a lousy loser and incited his followers to storm the Capitol.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Excellent. The world does not need more oil pipes polluting pristine wilderness. Switch to renewable energy already!

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Disgusting

Hi,

"Thailand’s cabinet earmarked THB6 billion (USD$200 million) late last year to produce the AstraZeneca vaccine domestically. Its sole manufacturer will be a newly created firm called Siam Biosciences that is owned by the palace. "

Hi,

>Is this an “instead of’ or  “as well as” foreigners paying 10 times more for attraction sites?

This is Thailand, so obviously "as well as"

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Yeah, I don't get that. Why announce a lock-down in advance? Sure, I understand people might not be home, but giving people 24hrs (or more) notice seems counter-productive.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Probably trying to save costs

Similar moronic tactics at the subway stations as well. Force people to queue up before entering the platform, so instead of people walking down when they arrive, they instead end up getting bunched up together for a while, then en masse walk to the next stop (think 80 people all trying to get onto 1 escalator).

Hi,

>Art is very subjective

Not to mention often pretentious.
Random person does some stupid stuff or creates something weird -> he gets ignored at best, ridiculed at worst
Famous artist does the exact same thing -> he gets lauded for being an art genius

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

And how is this art?

Hi,

>Show Ponies and Drama Queens

Likely the result of paying them way too fucking much and putting them on pedestals.

Sanuk!

Hi,

"If you do a Google search on the subject, it pops up that medical error is the third leading cause of death in US."

And thus it must be true 😜

Hi,

>No electricity = no bitcoin

The amount of electricity used to mine these coins is also insane, making this very environmentally unfriendly.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

Don't have anything that fancy. I do have ~40 different kinds of 10 Baht coins though, as well as a bunch of different Thai bank notes.
Doubt it is worth much.

Sanuk!
 

Hi,

I know, which is exactly my point. That is a laughable punishment, isn't it? Steal 10-20M THB from the tax payers, get send to an inactive post where your kickbacks are reduced to a 10K/month. But you don't have to go to jail and even get to keep the 10-20M you already stole!!!

Sanuk!
