Thats one of the reasons why the Thai's are always smiling, at what we say. Hello in Thai is Swasdi pronounced Sawadee, ladies follow with Khaa and Men follow with Khrap. When you get off the plane the Hosties all say Sawadee Khaa with a nice up lifting tone. I was following a group of Russian Body Builders big blokes and they are trying to assimilate saying Sawadee Khaa like a girl every 3 seconds and the Thais couldn't contain themselves from laughter.

The actual Bridge at Kanchanaburi is built over the Mae Klong River which was renamed after the movie for the Tourists (Khwae Yai). The Bridge in the movie was constructed for the set in Sri Lanka

This topic is the same as Politics and Religion, we all have our own opinion and no amount of bias argument and especially condescending comment is going to change that opinion. I agree that climate is changing because it is always changing from cold to hot and back. Have humans accelerated the change, yes of course, 8 billion people farting an average of 1 litre per day for a start and yes you and I have a carbon footprint. Everything we use has been manufactured from vegetable or mineral by the use of energy. I think most conservative thinkers don't appreciate the alarmists purporting we are going from Utopia to Armageddon. I think we all agree something needs to be done to reduce emissions for example look at the uptake of Rooftop Solar.

81 Years ago 13th JANUARY, 81 YEARS AGO WAS KNOWN AS ‘BLACK FRIDAY’ On this day, Eighty-one years ago (13th Jan 1939) with temperatures above 110°F (45°C) across Victoria and the state in drought, bushfires consumed 3,700 buildings across the state, 71 lives were lost and 5 towns completely destroyed- never to be rebuilt. The Royal Commission into ‘’Black Friday’’ concluded; “There had been no fires to equal these in destructiveness or intensity in the history of settlement in this State, except perhaps the fires of 1851, which, too, came at summer culmination of a long drought. ‘’At midday, in many places, it was dark as night. Men carrying hurricane lamps, worked to make safe their families and belongings Travellers on the highways were trapped by fires or blazing fallen trees, and perished. Throughout the land there was daytime darkness’.’ “The speed of the fires was appalling. They leaped from mountain peak to mountain peak, or far out into the lower country, lighting the forests 6 or 7 miles in advance of the main fires. Blown by a wind of great force, they roared as they travelled. Balls of crackling fire sped at a great pace in advance of the fires, consuming with a roaring, explosive noise, all that they touched.‘’ ‘’On that day it appeared that the whole State was alight.” [ATTACH]50602._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]50603._xfImport[/ATTACH]
