More Road accidents in Pattaya
Was this not Prachup Kiri Khan down south?

How come English speakers are incomprehensible to others?
Auto correction and mobile phone use I expect..... I had an old fashioned English teacher who had ways of telling us that there contains here, suggesting a place, their has heir suggesting the owners.....

Residents refusing to pay maintenance in gated village.
Let them dispute it or get involved in legal action at their own expense. I am sure there are ways to bring pressure to bear......cutting of water, which is often under the control of the village, is one possibility.

How come English speakers are incomprehensible to others?
Yes, but the USA guys cannot grasp what a 'pavement' is for, whereas the word sidewalk tells them it is for them to walk on. Brits don't need to be told such obvious things.

New 90 day check in requirements at Jomtien Immigration
Or sold......some of my details got out there and I felt sure immigration was the source.

How come English speakers are incomprehensible to others?
No, more about the phenomenal variety and profusion of strong accents.... a 2 mile trip down the road can put you among a new accent. Well educated, may well drift more towards a BBC/King's English.

Living in Pattaya on 186000 a month
You saw fit to choose to talk of ladyboys....playing on your conscience is it?

Batteries.....where to buy long life batteries in Pattaya men? Because my neighbour is an a*ssh*ole.....+
He has just finished renovating his condo! He can't get in, but he wants to live there!

Renowned fortune-teller predicts potential misfortunes before new year 2024
Like places where the NYE fireworks are being stored?

Open old lockbox
Most safes aren't left sitting on the bed, Thieves would just pick them up and put them under their arm and walk off to open at leisure, .

Open old lockbox
If I replace the batteries in mine, I can open it using the keypad!

Brainles young farangs on huge motorbikes in Pattaya
Along with slow moving samlors, food sellers, huge 2 decker tourist coaches, cement mixers, delivery trucks and idiots driving on their phones.. and there would still be traffic jams and accidents every day! (Just think 'big bike, small dick' and be smug over that!)

gold buyers
Most gold shops will make you an offer... try Soi Post office, there is a Gold shop/exchange next door but one or two to the Post Office. Damini I think it is called.

Thx for the tip on tipping...... She was in some pain, actually only discharged a few days before but suffering.....so went back. I am sure each hospital varies..... as stated, waited 4 hours A&E.

Almost sounds like one of those pre-pay Facebook scams!

Thailand’s plan to extend Songkran raises eyebrows and 5.1 billion baht in soft power bid
It goes on rather too long in the Pattaya area, where hiding from the giggling fools may be needed for 10-12 days.....a month of such is just a silly idea. (That said, a heatwave hot season is forecast... it may just be needed!)

Have you? Last I heard leukemia is quite serious. When you did your medical degree in Delhi did they tell you otherwise?

Bt5.1 billion to promote “soft power” activities next year
Pillow fights instead of water fights!

Hong Kong and Thailand join FPS with PromptPay, unlocking cross-border QR payment linkage
I was thinking this as Hong Kong is not an independent region in the slightest.....it must have benefits for China else it would not be happening.

Iran says it helped broker release of Thais held in Gaza
I am not sure everyone agreed to that point. Some Palestinians regarded them as complicit in taking jobs from them. It puts an international spotlight on the dispute I expect. Is it perhaps a factor making Israel a bit more cautious, not wanting to hurt foreigners?

Concert in Kelantan with sexy Thai dancers stirs controversy
There is the possibility they were not expecting to see them and went for more conservatives entertainment. This is becoming more common, a performance I went to had a band including the scantily clad girls, and some extremely suggestive dance moves..... it really went over the top. My Mrs was bothered by it as it occurred on the grounds of a temple. Boundaries always get moved......

If he lives in Korat quite possibly!

Is Thailand heading towards an economic crisis?
Not for 10,000 baht, no. Maybe a few low end Samsungs.

Some inflationary pressures were deferred until next year!
