Doppelgänger


One interpretation I am familiar with is that Buddhism is a philosophy, therefore you can be Buddhist and any religion of your choice.
Many Thai Catholics also stay true to Buddha teachings and ceremonies.

Catholic teachings consider such "dual faiths" problematic

Is Buddhism a religion or philosophy?

Failed swimming lesson and other news

This pooch had no interest is exhaustive swimming, just wanted to stay cool.

Thailand encourages users to spy on each other to block 'inappropriate messages' | Business Standard News


It may be fun but it's totally idiotic
The video has appeared with different logos. Mirror, Mail Online, etc, ect.
Creating high waves in a residential or business district can only add to misseries.
Speed should be minimal and the guy could probably make some good money as a water taxi



It's not an "ONLY IN THAILAND" moment

Here I am celebrating 72


Never thought I'd reach that age.  I've had quite a few close calls.  Rescued from drowning three times.  Almost died in a dental chair.  Two motorcycle accidents (1 in Thailand) where a helmet saved my life.   And even a couple accidental encounters with poisons.  Arsenic kept me in the hospital for a few days

Here I am celebrating 72.

Samart, 10 years younger, is also celebrating his birthday.  So we are having our celebrations at his house.  It's two blocks down the street from Lil'Pimp, so if you're in the neighborhood, please stop by and say hello and have a drink with us.

Where's the bottom?


The most dramatic portion of the sell-off came on the night of June 23, as investors realized that British voters had decided to withdraw from the European Union
Back in 2007 the GBP stood at 70.8509 to the Thai Baht.  Today's rate is 40% less than that of 2007.  A 20% drop in 2016 to date
