They closed the main road stopping us getting into bus station which is a 5 min walk from Terminal 21 and we drove around for about an hour on outskirts of city. Would have went there for my tea if I had caught earlier bus so a bit of a could have been me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need some small talk in case I bump into the sergeant accidentally. He could be anywhere by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah think there may be more casualties as can't see him giving up. Eventually got into the bus station from opposite direction and jumped on bus to Chaiyaphum, stayed there last night as late in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Thais use many nicknames in place of the full name including their own names. Nicknames are given at birth to everyone and is used instead on the actual name.. Some amusing nicknames I have heard while at my sons school. His nickname is "Roy". Names as, Man U, I-phone, Guitar, One or First (usually the first child of the family), which comes to my point. Roy in Thai means 1 hundred. Yes, I have 1 hundred children, as asked by one bemused villager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fucked if I’m doing it, is your bat mask wearing country! Not really, Bangkok is an area of "Krung Thep". Krung Thep being the name that all Thais use, never here a Thai saying Bangkok unless they are speaking to a foreigner "farange". Bangkok means place of olives, While Krung Thep means City of Angels. Name was given by the King Rama 1st. When Royalty moved there after Ayutthaya was sacked by the Burmees in 1767. The full name for Krung Thep is Quote Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลก ภพนพรัตน์ ราชธานีบุรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์ มหาสถาน อมรพิมาน อวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะ วิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์ which full translation to English is Quote The city of angels, the great city, the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city (of Ayutthaya) of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn That is todays international culture lesson over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 https://www.wftv.com/news/local/orange-county/employee-killed-after-shooting-orlando-premium-outlets-police-say/WPX36M3DPRFA7KFCJT23I3RWRM/ Id hate for this to come across all ‘it could have been me’ but i was in this shop 7 days before the shooting and feel quite sad hearing about it as the staff are usually really lovely in here, very helpful and genuinely nice. Guy’s apparently got a list of targets etc, I mean horrific, who the f**k would think after getting fired that shooting their boss is the way forward? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
