News Forum - Thousands of dead fish wash ashore in Patong, alarming locals
I'm glad the officials gave a health warning about the fish. I wouldn't risk eating them. Same applied in NZ after the big earthquakes in Kaikoura. Hundreds of rock lobster washed up or stranded by earth being raised up out of the sea. Absolutely love lobster but like any seafood, if it goes bad it's best not to touch it. Maybe Thais have a stronger constitution.... -

News Forum - Veggie tales: Phuket festival wraps up with street processions
So does mine (practising Buddhist and not into eating animals, so it's more of an ethics/moral thing than anything else), but I have managed to convince her over time that she needs non-veg protein and she agrees, as she noticed a difference in overall strength/energy when she cuts it out. So now she does it on and off and will look for organic sources with (at least that's what they say) more humane treatment of animals. -

Thaiger Talk Quiz #283 - Book shops in Thailand
A good book I read recently was The Heart of Everything That Is: The Untold Story of Red Cloud, An American Legend. The gist of the book is set during the American Civil War and follows the epic quest of Sioux warrior and leader Red Cloud, a strategic genius who managed the extraordinary feat of uniting enemy native tribes for the greater imperative of their own survival. He inflicted the US Army their only defeat and was a feared and respected opponent… though ultimately the US had a never-ending supply of cannon fodder and also technological means (the invention of the Colt was decisive) and nothing could be done to change the tragic outcome. It is also a very interesting depiction of the American Civil War and its aftermath, the talks and decisions made behind the scenes during Red Cloud's War, the protagonists of the Oregon Trail, and last but not least, this fascinating yet dubious notion of a “promised land” and everything good and bad it entailed. It is a great immersion in some of the most tumultuous times in US history, well written, gripping and factual, and essential, IMO, to fully grasp what is happening in the US in current times.
