Great minds run in the same direction.

Cynical or reflecting what usually happens here?

So, have the owners raised their prices to compensate for the loss of income?

The welfare system I was referring to is one where poor people get some money from the government and or/ food. I realize we can't compare Thai with western standards, but even so, 181 baht a day doesn't buy much.

And the married couple who live there are brother and sister or, at least, first cousins.

I can still control the temperature of the shower from the faucets.

Thank you Thaimo. I would be happy to post any recipes that are requested.

A person who would make such a comment to a relative stranger is a moron. It's no wonder he didn't get your point.

I like Air Asia too. I use them often. I very recently went to and from Melbourne via KL on Air Asia. On the return flight from Melbourne to KL the plane was late. Because of a tight connection I missed the flight from KL to BKK. I went to the service counter and they booked me onto another flight even though they are a point to point airline and were not obligated to do do.

It's like deja vue all over again.

Keep in mind that King Taksin's name is spelled without the "H", not like the former PM.

That's true, often people stop taking their antibiotics when they feel better, and then the bacteria come back resistant to the drugs.

You'd better get going fast to reach 500.

Does anyone here know the incidence of heart disease and cancer in Thailand as compared to US, UK or other western countries?

I like a comfortable hotel, but it doesn't have to be top of the line.

Has anyone tried any of the recipes I have posted? If so, how did you like what you tried?

They are more energy efficient but, they are dangerous when they are mounted in the shower. Mine are under the sinks.

No doubt about that since parking is at a premium in NYC.

Since there is no welfare system in Thailand, I feel sure the poor are far worse off than in the US. Even the panhandlers in Thailand don't get to keep what they collect. The Mafia takes most of it. I remember seeing on TV in SF a panhandler being interviewed and he said he collected $130.00/day on average. This was in 1990. That was about 3 times the minimum wage at the time.

I am sure, but the Vatican is the place where I saw it for myself.

When my condo was renovated I was getting shocks from the dishwasher. The contractor told me that sockets are not grounded here. I made sure he grounded mine after an argument with him.

Exactly. Been to the Vatican and was so repulsed by the riches while people in largely Catholic countries starve.

We have had this discussion before.

I use Google map and print out the directions.

That leaves many states in the dark ages.
