Pretty cheap really, but I suspect there is something on top required!

Well I don't know that he was an addict, just some young kid with a bit too much testosterone and recklessness. 'Here try this stuff'.... egged on by a pal. A bit sad and a waste really.

I did a little outdoor job at the house and felt fine. Earlier that morning I was having a swim as the rain poured down. I am only about 10 k north of town. Nothing compared to last years heatwave.

How much do they cost...... will it be issued (there is supposed to be a moratorium on alcohol sale licences is some areas)?

Can't beat a good catfight, and these trannies usually put on a good one!

Nonsense, it was raining a lot in the morning and relatively cool all day Friday.

Not sure if that is true or not...... police can stop you on the street and search you without so I wonder. It might be useful to know what they can or cannot do without a warrant with all these fake ones conning folks lately. That said, I wouldn't know what a warrant looks like either, they could show me an old certificate with a stamp!

Many years ago it mostly stopped soon after sunset..... Pattaya has gone it's own way since on this celebration.

It seems we already had one!

Hasn't he retired yet?

Sure, Mrs always needs a bathroom break! Like traveling with a 6 year old! It's either going in one end or out the other with her!

Trapped... Mrs takes the truck and I am left with the motorbike. I should go with her you might say, and yes, Songkran in the village is more enjoyable than the infantile and sometimes downright aggressive thing it is in Pattaya. But it goes on too long, and I really am out of place... I am all grown up and grumpy now! I often wonder if I should hire a little car to at least get to the supermarket and restock on pies and the like......

That's hard to believe listening to the comments they make. I often wonder if Songkran, on the whole, is a money maker, a loss, or simply a holiday they enjoy at whatever cost. The hotels will certainly be full, lots of travel expenses as inter-province buses all will be full with extra services running. My Mrs is filling up cold boxes with various foodstuffs to take to the village.....lots of alcohol gets consumed.... Sure, some grumpy Westerners head off to other places to escape it all, and some like me go cave man! But it all looks like spend spend in Pattaya!

Shot himself in the head?

Well I do, and many a little condo may face the sun and have hot walls.

No AC units where I come from... even a balcony would be rare!

Sitting alone, unwashed and unshaved, having perhaps a yesterday croissant warmed in the microwave, watching the guy opposite with no shirt and a fat belly, smoke a cigarette, surrounded by an AC unit and drying underwear........... living the dream!

In a discussion on living on 40,000 a month, what is the relevance of this? Is it particularly expensive?

So what does this mean, we start digging up all the roads again starting with Second Rd?

Don't let the troll get to you!

Well, at 67, as they say, never waste a boner!

So, what happens here, do you and fellow members of the woke brigade campaign for a change of name... are you perhaps Russian and are offended?

Charity boxes used to have rather heavy chains on them in the UK. The ones that the RSPCA used, like a golden retriever, were great teenager bedroom ornaments.

Russian roulette, odd game to pay, the outcome is obvious.

£230.25 a week, 10,000 baht. But it is frozen at what it was when you first claimed it, ie you do not receive the cost of living increases. Bit of a killer that.
