Good news from TOT, aka NT
Well if you are already on fiber, yes they might make you wait. I was upgraded for free and they obviously wanted to get rid of supporting their coax cable network. (True in my case). Not that they took the old cables down! IIRC they did hit me up again later to pay a small increase for a speed upgrade... but nowadays they don't seem to get their promised numbers.... I might need to upgrade my RJ45 cable though.

Pita ordered to suspend doing his duties as an MP
Well apparently not, if the company has ceased operations as stated that would not make his holding of 42000 have impact on policy. Usually in legal matters the numbers would be firm, not left to interpretation on every case, as you claim.

Not the question asked! In this case the number was somewhat higher anyhow....

Second hand books
I believe they take pretty much anything......

There is a shortage of whitewash too?

Thai business leaders express concern over political instability
Well the £ actually weakened recently due to improved inflation numbers in the UK, reducing the likelihood of more interest rate rises.

Wish I had such a percentage of Microsoft, Apple or Google shares.... Is there a value/percent number on MPs not being allowed to own, or is it zero?

Cabinet Extends Electricity Bill Subsidy
Just got my bill, biggest ever! Surprised really... this past month has had a few cooler days, my Mrs was away for a week, and I took a bit of time off the pool pump. Still slightly more KWH though than last month. That AC in the other bedroom I use when she is away is perhaps not so efficient! The FT is the same.....as is per unit charge bar a satang.

Pita and his “devil may care” attitude
I would expect them to be held in probate.... executors don't get to hold the cash while probate is underway... legal representation would hold them. He has been pushed to one side all too easily. Perhaps he was not the man for the job anyhow. Sad, I hoped for a fresh young replacement, not more toady old school cronies.......

Thailand rattled as TikTok unveils woman shot over motorcycle noise, assailant released on bail
Nah, my Mrs does that, she is just cheap and saving fuel! Put a speed bump in!

Thai business leaders express concern over political instability
I keep watching it... it roughly seems to go with the flow of political fears... recently weakening as Thailand looks decidedly more likely to be unstable....comparing to USD of course.

Protesters Conduct Symbolic Cremation
I thought it rather weak..... demanding senators who disregard the voice of the people to resign immediately. Since the people did not put them into power, they bow to another authority!

Escape the hustle of Pattaya ! at nearby Na Jomtien
I have a lot of pals who live over there, wax lyrical about walking to immigration, cheap breakfasts and sea views. Although I have heard trips into Pattaya can be not so easy... with roadworks in a few places that never seem to end.

Immigration now a pleasure to visit.
We shall have to see.... when I do my Extension the place is made busier by loads of tourists, it being high, near peak, season. One advantage of the agent I used seemed to be they took their own photo in the office, so I did not even go near immigration.

Pita and his “devil may care” attitude
No I don't... got a source for that or just lip flapping? If his father left them to him, yes he owned them... it seems to have been enough to get him suspended as an MP! Quite easily it would appear.....

Second hand books
Canterbury tales is the only one I can think of that is left.... a lot of bars have a shelf full, same hotels in a help yourself sort of way.

Heaven knows......

Immigration now a pleasure to visit.
It is enough for regular tourists who would likely struggle to get more time off work. Others can get a Visa., Sixty day extensions never existed.

Thai Cabinet Approves 24/7 Operation of Entertainment Venues in EEC Areas Including Pattaya
Bargain barfine prices at near closing time will be a thing of the past! (And perhaps meeting up outside after closure too).

I have little doubt... but it appears they made it rather easy for them!
