Re: Newbie with some questions

Re: Bangkok commuter boat engine expoldes

Thankfully the incident did not escalate to a bleve (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion) or the outcome would have been far worse.

Re: What kind of water in coffee ?

From a risk management perspective we wish to avoid an uneccesary contribution to the Bangkok hospital coffers. That is easy, go elsewhere. My response has nothing to to do with whether I would or would not go to Bankok Hospital. It simply states we wish to avoid an uneccessary contribution...fores...
