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

and here... every other connection times out.

Andrew MacGregor Marshall will have something to say about that...

The clue may be in the name... maybe @Siri900 has better information? 😈

Only if you think 'car' and 'war' rhyme 😈 The Thai word would probably be naarak (น่ารัก)

I was amused by one of the YT comments: "The guy in blue seems to have a big advantage"

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.

There's that American exceptionalism again... What makes you think it's always about you? 😈

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.

You haven't met the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?

Many years ago there was a fashion for huge grand pianos. The BBC was going to order one when someone said "hang on - will it fit through the doors of the hall?". The answer: "we'll make a wooden mockup and try it out". They duly made a lifesize replica piano - only to find that they coudn't get it out of the workshop.

A cynic would say the important detail is that everyone and their baggage goes through US customs & immigration and actually sets foot on US soil. That gives the government more powers to do things to anybody they consider undesirable.

I go by Katherine Whitehorn's (author of Cooking in a Bedsitter) rule: Red wine doesn't go with carpets.

True, but hardly unusual. Sterile transit within an international airport is common (outside the USA) but not between airports. How would you stop people just hoppping off the shuttle bus/taxi/train and illegally entering the country? G4S? Note that there's a considerable distance between the various "London" airports (LHR, LGW, LCY, STN, LTN, SEN). For example scheduled buses cover the 40 miles between LGW and LHR in 70-75 minutes but on a bad day on the M25 that time might be doubled.

The usual advice here (I have not tested it 😀) for prospective threesomes is that you should pick one, ask if he's willing, and if so let him choose someone he's comfortable with as the third party.

In a Baudrillardian sense?

Construction work? would that be "erection"? 😈

And a doctorate in Chapter IX - Of the Auparishtaka .

I suspect maybe @Louis has a mental picture of someone with a framed diploma on the wall, trained in all the exotic mysteries of the Orient?

Be careful what you wish for...

If @olddaddy was more attentive he'd have noticed a thread not long ago discussing the fact that Soi 4 is alread up for sale:

The extra hour is for the deportation formalities.

and the joke was that despite being better than Streep she starred in none of them.

Have you read the reviews of any of those programs mentioned? For example: "The problem with this documentary is it clearly started with the premise of Thailand is a country with so much danger, then set out to prove its own hypothesis, rather than investigate neutrally and let the evidence guide them to the answer. This makes it wholly biased and unreliable. Dreadfully amateurish documentary-making." ... and that's from the highest scoring 5/10 review. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38286252/reviews/

Correct.
