Re: Tomboys on the increase everywhere

RE--Thai women marrying Farangs.
In spite of what you say, the resistance in some families to these matches can be enormous.
I know several men where it took several years to get the mother to agree and others where after several years of marriage the man has never met the in-laws.

Re: Hua Hin, the next Pattaya?

Talking to a guy who lives in Pattaya and is here for 2 weeks as he is considering moving here.
He visited Phuket last two weeks and found that the crime situation, both organised and disorganised, was almost as bad as Pattaya.

Re: Fish and Chips

I had F & C recently and the fish was mushy and tasteless-- there is a trick.
Frozen fish must be defrosted slowly. Ideally take from freezer and place in t fridge overnight, then out of the fridge for several hours.
The worst way to do it is--Freezer to Microwave.

Re: Resistant malaria spreads rapidly to Thai-Myanmar border

Mosquitoes are quite smart but they are very poor map readers and have little concept of geographical or political borders.

Re: Motorcade in Hua Hin

That happens in BKK quite frequently. It used to be that when the princess used to drive herself to Pattaya there were the police escort fore and aft but at a respectful distance.
The sign that it is coming is the blocking of side sois.
