Thaksin’s Medical Expenses At Police Hospital Entirely Covered By Taxpayers’ Money
I thought that was perhaps why they had not discharged him... hadn't paid his bill yet. Apparently not.

Thailand’s plan to extend Songkran raises eyebrows and 5.1 billion baht in soft power bid
Yes, keep it going along with selling alcohol until 4am... what could possibly go wrong!

Most of Thailand will turn slightly cooler over the weekend
Just a bit of cloud where I am North of Pattaya, gone warm again. Beats 6 inches of snow like North UK!

British citizen stranded in Thai hospital with a 400,000 baht plea to escape
Depends on the symptoms I expect....there certainly could be many that would make the daunting task of a 12 hour flight worrying.... even if the carrier would let a sick person on the plane. In the hospital he looks bedridden... last time I checked they don't let bedridden people on flights. People with blood issues can bring on heart attacks under stress. Have a friend currently unwell to the point of needing help.... subjected to a 4 hour wait in A and E at a Government hospital, and nurses there who have limits as to what they will do for you.. vey unsympathetic. One would need family or friends with you.

King Power not happy with talk of abolishing duty-free on arrival
I often have on arrival into Thailand... not only about better variety and far cheaper prices, but availability. The selection of single malts at Riyadh is poor, pretty good in Dubai though.

Administrative Court To Judge Whether Thaksin Is Clinically Or ‘Politically’ Ill
Some miracle recovery that will be attributed to praying to a 2 headed turtle?

No updates on health of convicted former PM Thaksin
Is the Mandarin Hotel kitchen still delivering daily on silver service to the hospital?

Salt water swimming pool for non-residents
Lot of tourists in the cool season. Are you suggesting it doesn't fester to the same degree?

Mid-air madness: Unruly passenger turns Lufthansa flight to Bangkok into chaos
A few weeks in an Indian jail then back home for him sounds appropriate. Pity they could not fly on to Pakistan or Afghanistan!

Over the years I have heard very positive things about some of them.....but also the other side of the coin.

Simpler than that, all a scam!

Death of spouse effect on my marriage visa?
Yes, and as mentioned there... do we talk of a Visa here, or an Extension, I expect the latter!

Thai immigration online 90 day reporting system
No, not unless you change the reason for the Extension.....

Certificate of Residence - Jomtien Immigration
If they are still issuing residence certificates. whether they are wearing masks or monkey suits has nothing to do with the question in the OP!

What time to bed & rising ?
If I am home, off to bed at 9.30 to ten, up an 5 to 5.30am. A cool early morning is pleasant here.

Is your Condo building noisy
None of us can take it to the grave..... and most who arrive here have not got 30 years in them!

Stay home mate, they will eat you up and spit out the bare bones.

Men. Quick. Look at your nails. Before you watch the video!
And this applies to Pattaya how exactly?
-
Is your Condo building noisy
In Thailand, that is not necessarily a peaceful situation either. Neighbours in houses always seem to need to have dogs and the local Wat puts loudspeakers up around the village! My pals with condos (VT 5) claim they do not have noise issues.

Non-valuable document to UK.
I used Thai Post from one of those Mailbox places in the Mall. I think it was about 200 baht for a letter size. Took about 5-6 workdays, so a few days more than a courier, but one tenth of the price.
