  1. Nice looking piece of good PR...but we all know it's just a PR stunt and nothing more. RTP operating gambling will prevail!
  2. In the times of hand cutting in Australia...the cane was always burnt and even with the advent of machinery, continued into the 80s....now stopped.
  3. The 711 stores here are amazing how they work so darn well....the staff are great and know everything. Japan has been mentioned as having better stores....and they are good....200ml of beautiful Japanese whiskey always available!
  4. Let's see what Makro do.......my guess is very little...
  5. It's almost always a long and slow wait in the lines. After this visit by the esteemed PM, it will improve dramatically...for a couple of days!
  6. There are thousands of trucks coming from the south towards BKK, with timber for charcoal production. Talk about living in a smoke screen environment...this cooking method is ancient....it really should be stopped: "Grilling with charcoal is associated with an increased cancer risk."
  7. Staggering that the Thai lottery, which is likely the biggest scam ever in the country... so profitable in this country where gambling in outlawed.....the government virtually force by stealth, millions of poor to waste their money.....usually those that can least afford it. Where do the takings go? My guess would be primarily to the military and their mates....however, the Govt Lottery site claims 60% winnings...then revenue and costs
  8. No-one can prevent a drought....they just happen. Water management has never bee Thailand' forte....they're hopeless at that. Spend millions on supposedly "great" water saving and retention projects...corruption takes hold and nothing really happens.
  9. Water management incompetence is a national trait....where ever you go, the same issues arise almost every year. They really have no idea what they're doing.
  10. "even though they had obtained the Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) approval prior to their departure."....Maybe some in S Korea aren't the sharpest tools in the box....this is so similar to so many things in Thailand. Ambiguity is an Asian trait:)
  11. As mentioned in earlier posts...this treatment toward Thais is quite usual. I've been in line at immigration and there are people scanning arrivals and picking out suspect people. Most young women..and men. Illegal workers and hookers are the main targets....
  12. Once the denials start to gain momentum, there's a good chance of a guilty plea! Big Joke is no different from any other big name cop
  13. All minor offences that probably only warrant a few thousand in fines. The real offences were silenced probably, with some funding donated for the governors annual ball!
  14. So many airlines are trying to get aircraft.....but with Thai..I guess it's just a matter of waiting for the inevitable...broke again!
  15. The venue shown, is probably typical of what would be available for a Taylor Swift concert:)
  16. Does anyone believe that Singapore would let everyone know if they subsidised the Swift movement? Of course they would not...and anyway, the Swift machine has much smarter people, than the entire Thai government.
  17. Quite a few falls over the past couple of weeks....high seasons back!
  18. A bit late...the cherries get taken away very early in Thailand.....the cops don't care.
  19. Happens so often....2 tons in a 500kg pick-up.... Key Specifications of Toyota Hilux Number of Tyre 4 Power 201 GVW 2910 kg Mileage - kmpl Engine 2755 cc Fuel Tank 80 Ltr Payload 470 Kgs Chassis Type Ladder-frame
  20. Ok....cranes are still falling over...it has been quiet lately!
