And if you are up for the adventure... take the bus from Pattaya North Rd (Reung Ruen) bus station to Bangkok Moechit, and regular services from there to Korat......you can get lost in Moechit though if not familiar!

British student’s harrowing balcony plunge leaves him fighting for life in a Thailand hospital
Of course we will get into the usual discussion of bad insurance companies and reading the conditions of the policy..... and many presuppositions. Poor lad... dangerous times for young males those late teens and early twenties....a recklessness in their ways. Hope they get him home....

Need a shirt with a pocket to put a pen in... but many turn up there without even a pen in their beachwear!

And at least another 30% are playing on their phones?

Thai Parliament Successfully Chooses House Speaker
A rather aged man who has been around forever.... Thailand struggles to break away from its old ways. I was hoping for younger blood. Progress of a sort I suppose.

PM hails success of Thailand-China’s trade, investment cooperation
Not so well. What I thought was the start of it, was widening on the single track embankment near me north of town.......that sort of went on for a while then stopped and nothing seen since......

Chinese man arrested in Chon Buri for using fake registration plate on Bentley
You are mistaken, you certainly still need the annual tax sticker. Whether they are displayed on a 2 wheeler is less certain... they do get stolen, so some keep them under the seat.

Electric baht busses for Pattaya......Good idea or Bad idea.....
I believe it was an NGV bus.... it certainly burned rather well. Also there was passengers and a driver on it!

Sometimes yes I have... more so when I spent more time on my motorbike waiting at lights. My own pickup doesn't spew out smoke... but I certainly see plenty of others doing that usually pickups being over-revved.
