  1. No. The BTS Senior Rabbit Card is only for Thai citizens (https://btsbangkok.com/rabbit-card) but the MRT senior card was available to anyone over 60 regardless of nationality or residence (it must have been, as I had one!) As a lawyer you may be amused by the minutiae: those over 65 were entitled to the discount, while those 60-65 were merely privileged to receive it. (E&OE)
  2. There are Asian publishers that Amazon has never heard of. Next time you're in Thailand (or a friend is!) you might find books from those publishers in some of the more academically-oriented Bangkok bookshops. For example: Asia Books https://www.asiabooks.com/en/search.html?query=cambodia&source=all&page=1 Kinokuniya https://thailand.kinokuniya.com/ Dasa Books https://dasabooks.com/search Chula Books https://www.chulabook.com/en/categories?text=cambodia
  3. HR... Hormone Replacement? (yes, I know. Now I'm having nightmares abour Dame Edna having hot flushes ๐Ÿฅต)
  4. My guess would be "no", but one would hope that the instructor did. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
  5. There's another Erawan where it's impossible to believe that you are not in Thailand ๐Ÿ˜ˆ: Inside:
  6. By the way, a prospective visitor might ask what's the difference between the three museums. I'd say the Death Railway Museum by the cemetery is a well-funded modern museum and visitor experience up to modern international museum standards. The other two are essentially one-man (or one-monk?) projects - labours of love but sadly underfunded. The JEATH War Museum has reconstructed POW huts housing press clippings and original art works made by POWs, and a memorial to one of the Japanese soldiers, who stayed behind to help with reconstruction. The museum near the bridge (if it's still open) is a miscellaneous collection of stuff vaguely related to Thai life in WWII. Obviously the visitor experience will be very different for people who lost loved ones here.
  7. Which one? Kanchanaburi has several museums related to the railway: Death Railway Museum and Research Centre (aka Thailand-Burma Railway Centre) near the cemetery the JEATH War Museum Kanchanaburi at the southern end of the town by the river on Pakprak Rd. the World War II and JEATH War Museum near the bridge and POW memorial
  8. and here... every other connection times out.
  9. Andrew MacGregor Marshall will have something to say about that...
  10. The clue may be in the name... maybe @Siri900 has better information? ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
  11. Only if you think 'car' and 'war' rhyme ๐Ÿ˜ˆ The Thai word would probably be naarak (เธ™เนˆเธฒเธฃเธฑเธ)
  12. I was amused by one of the YT comments: "The guy in blue seems to have a big advantage"
  13. The usual confusion is between 100 and 500 notes, which can be a genuine accident as they look very similar under dim or red lighting. As others suggest, say the amount out loud.
  14. There's that American exceptionalism again... What makes you think it's always about you? ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
  15. I once had the privilege of attending a private birthday-party performance by Mark Bunyan, who was canonised by the SPI as St Mark of the Musical Tendency.
