Is there any actual evidence he was hit with something and didn't hit his head when falling backwards ?

I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow when the case against the accused is presented.

Apparently the person responsible for Adam's demise has been arrested and is being held in Pattaya just now.

This article details the circumstances around his arrest and he is expected to be in court on Monday morning.

Allegedly the incident occurred near ‘Paradise Bar’ in Soi Khao Noi.

As for Adam's condition he is supposedly showing signs of slight movement but has an infection near his wounds which is a cause for concern for his doctors in the UK. Today is the largest push for donations and requests for support and is dubbed 'PickleAID day' by supporters.

A massive thank you to the many, many people from Pattaya and beyond for their assistance up to this point - it's been remarkable to see such positivity and union from across our communities.

Here's the PickleAID Facebook page for details of events and for ways to donate should you see fit.

Please, please let others know through your social networks and let's hope that Adam gets well and that justice prevails.

Thanks guys!

All back up and working again after a recent retune.

Cheers for the help!!

Whilst my little issue of wanting to know if the Asian Food Channel is still on BTV isn't as topical as street fighting katoi or Tony's food hall it can be easily resolved by anyone who has Banglamung Television.

So, pretty please, can someone tell me if they still have the Asian Food Channel (It was 80 on my tv set before) and perhaps some advise to get it back if it still is in existence.

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone and a happy Saturday to you,

On Thursday both Syfy and Universal weren't 'playing' on BTV. The channels were there but only a message saying "No signal" was displayed at the top. I autosearched to see if it was a problem at my end and they were still there with the same message afterwards (They came back on by themselves sometime later).

My problem is that the Asian Food Channel (AFN channel 80) is no longer there. It's gone.

I've been retuning and searching online all day and am none the wiser.

So firstly is anyone else out there on BTV still getting AFN and if so does anyone have any advise on how I could get it back?

Thank you in advance!

Any local store should have a large plunger for sale - I think I paid 50 baht for one in Bueang Khan which certainly helped clear the air.

Try asking around the local community shops prior to going to Tesco or any other multinational shops - it was really easy for me and it's about half the height of me too!

Thanks guys - you should get a medal or some sort of official recognition for your work on these boards

It would seem that the 1 year extension part is the area overlooked by my Thai hosts regarding full and proper processing.

I highly doubt I can have it all organised by tomorrow, however now I know, I can cross the border and start the process properly and instigate the 1 year extension part once I've gotten a new 3 months visa.

I may do a quick jaunt around SEA over Christmas and so will go for the multiple re-entry.

Thank you so much for making it make sense to me - I couldn't understand the part about being permitted to volunteer here for a year but having to cross the border every 90 days, now I see it's an oversight and will hopefully rectify it due to your assistance.

A proper big thanks again! :jap:

Thanks Iopburi3!

I have a Non-Immigrant type O, single entry, visa issued at Vientiane in April which is good for 90 days. This was required for me to get a 'work permit' which is a little card booklet with various stamps on it all in Thai. The booklet was issued at the Nong Khai department of work office.

I have been told that to keep my permission to stay in the Kingdom alive I must get a re-entry visa (multiple or single) from inside Thailand and leave the country every 90 days and then re-enter. On every occasion I do the little booklet gets updated permitting me another 90 days stay.

I hope I am clear enough with my interpretation of this and thank you again for your time in dealing with this.

Hi all,

I'll be coming into Nong Khai tomorrow with the hopes of getting a multiple re-entry visa which will supplement my volunteer work permit which is good until next April 2011.

I've been told that I need to cross the border every 90 days and that a multiple re-entry is cheaper in the long run than paying for a single every 90 days.

Firstly is this correct information and do I get the exit/re-entry permit/visa at Friendship Bridge or is there an office elsewhere which facilitates this?

It says the 22nd June on my passport so I'll be doing this tomorrow.

Thanks in advance for any and all help with this, and for generally supplying great advise all round.

Wow! There is loads of information here. It's going to take me until Summer to get through even half of it.

Hello everyone, I am looking to spend some time helping out in Thailand after the Summer and am just browsing at the moment. I don't really know what else to say as it's all a bit overwhelming at the moment.

Maybe see you around one of the towns for a drink
