  1. Might go along with the lower age limit.. but plenty of diplomacy and calm reasoning a little beyond 65.
  2. Well he got caught with 40,000 shares in his pocket he should not have had......could he have done something about that before the elections?
  3. The nightlife and entertainment zones already had differing selling hours compared to say BigC or 7-11. They went on to 2am, 3am some places, yet alcohol sales end at midnight elsewhere.
  4. So, are we to have 3x8hour boozing shifts for tourists? There are going to be some weary looking girls doing the shiny pole shuffle.
  5. Was that the only option open to him though? Usually politicians put their ill gotten in a wife, sibling or other family member's name..... and even a servant's sometimes.
  6. I cannot stretch my imagination to the point that visiting immigration (twice) would ever be a pleasure! I am glad to hear it is much improved though.
  7. I thought they had mostly decided to identify as bulls and stopped yielding milk.
  8. The 800k was perhaps a debt caused by lending a farang his extension money!
  9. And having cleared the signs from WS impeding the tourist buses, we will have drunken revelers all over the place.
  10. I went to both India and China multiple times when working, back in the 80s...... some impressions of incredible poverty have tainted my knowledge of how the places may be nowadays.
  11. How old was that diving school guy? Young people get themselves into trouble more, and older people do not appeal to local punks like the young girls might.
  12. Now that I could have handled.....
  13. Well all I got is a sheep farm down the road!
  14. Yes okay etc etc. But why on earth did Pita still have these shares....? Does he expect to break the rules without issue like a Thai golfer?
  15. Me too, awful. And to add insult I had to sign some sheet all in Thai that I later found out was like a customer evaluation.. and they had pre-filled it, saying I was cancelling because I couldn't afford it!
  16. Not something else that is being exported to China I hope!
  17. Try looking it up on Google Maps which usually show in both languages.
  18. They might have during last months heatwave.....
  19. Mine gets chucked out... it sneaks into the roof space and goes to sleep!
  20. I believe it was on this Forum I read today that per capita daily spending in Thailand, by Indian tourists, was catching up to that of Chinese tourists, putting both into the super-spender group! Absolutely gobsmacked!
  21. Doesn't seem like we have the same eerie mystery and ominous sense of danger when someone mentions Koh Chang or Samet though do we?
  22. Yes I have the same problems with dog owners.... neighbours dogs barking and yelping now as I type! Dog owners too are self absorbed..... I wouldn't have the cat if the wife hadn't gone soppy over it coming to the house very young and starving. Last one got sick and I had o have it put down and I didn't enjoy that drama either.
