  1. Perhaps people come to Thailand for something different..... When I was young the UK nightlife was limited to 2am... and the public bars to 11pm... The Thai youth seem to like later... I just fear the likely increase in alcohol related accidents.
  2. No no, the other way!
  3. They did try stopping baht busses going one way for a spell,, didn't last. To be honest I am surprised we do not get more maiming incidents on this road... I have been very close to being hit by vehicles quite a few times... drivers get impatient. Delivery trucks stop wherever, ignorant people stop in front of a 7-11 to get some cigarettes...
  4. But what you would be doing on Hwy 36 confuses me... just go straight down Sukhumvit.
  5. They have never really been successful when it comes to controlling crowds at these events...... I recall being at the Countdown one NYE and I was amazed dozens if people didn't end up in the sea and drown... there were fights and all sorts of problems caused by excessive numbers trying to get down WS to the Bali Hai area......
  6. I thought it was more to do with a dispute they had with their partner and the ensuing lack of investment into future fields and resources.
  7. The airline would go bankrupt if it offered free booze to that lot. I did Biz Class on their A350 which was OK, but the flight on to Manchester was bad!
  8. Try getting refunds on flight tickets... with any of them.
  9. The loss of engines would mean they were at the mercy of the waves rather than being able to head into them.
  10. Or a night in the cells with a few local rogues and odd-balls and a similar bill in the morning!
  11. It can be less reliable as one gets older, and putting it to the test may not work out.
  12. And yet yesterday I was reading reports that all of the sailors had been recovered and were well.
  13. I thought so at first too, but now I feel cold I am not too keen... and got me some aches and pains that weren't there before.....
  14. Get a mouth full of water and breathe it in and he would be in trouble....
  15. Not sure about that... been a bit of a can of worms and back pedaling has been rife. Still, it is being advertised for sale and home delivery on the radio now, so that genie isn't going back in the bottle! Grab delivering it yet?
  16. Wasn't it cited as the great single jab protection back in the early days. It was given to French in Thailand by their Embassy. I feel so misled wrt the vaccines, they are not the cure / protection I was led to believe. But they are all we got!
  17. I expect they make great Christmas presents!
  18. Can't say as I have heard of it... perhaps that is what they claim!
  19. So many, who have lived in houses most of their lives move here and seem to be quite content in 35-50 sqm of something I find akin to a bedsit, like back in my student days. A sea view, and a balcony to sit out on, with a cold beer balanced on the AC unit, next to the drying M&S undies... Less discerning with age..... less to maintain and keep clean.....and cheap.
  20. It is good that they took care of him, but I am more inclined to say he should have sobered up in the cells and been charged with drink driving or something.
