  1. Yep, an arm sling and neck brace won't work for everybody!
  2. This is exceptional, there are old men wandering lost because they cannot find things. They are using special helpers to direct such lost customers to the soap powder. I got an impression they were going to have a large alcohol area, presuming there would soon be 24/7 sales allowed. My usual routine of going directly for what is on my list is all awry. I don't shop like a woman, feeling the obligation to see everything and peruse every single aisle. I looked for a particular cat food for 10 minutes, cat food now being mixed in with dog food... then finding what I wanted on a completely different aisle! The place is beginning to look like a USA Wallmart. My world is collapsing, as is the roof in that Mall.
  3. I guess it saves them doing a three point turn while they are in there!
  4. So long as they avoid people sleeping there I guess it ain't so big a deal.
  5. Then again, there is the problem of tourists getting excessively drunk and belligerent and abusing the locals.
  6. Don't they have some reliable process to declare someone dead here, or is it like some Monty Python sketch and nearly dead also get taken for a Post Mortem?
  7. I struggle to believe that, but here lies need not be credible.
  8. If they submit an appeal, standard here, then I believe they can apply for bail and avoid jail. I know it doesn't make sense.
  9. I guess the old adage about Thai drivers not having any concern about what is behind them also applies to when they are reversing!
  10. Yes, although many get a job as security as there are more such opportunities.
  11. Nice of them to return it to the same spot!
  12. Muay Thai is being kicked in the head while stood up actually!
  13. What of the fancy new toilets that were being hailed about a month ago? Moved down to Hua Hin for a photo op there now?
  14. Good for them, but whoever hired the contractor needs to be involved too. This is an all too common occurrence,
  15. The rainy weather is doing the job for them!
  16. More surprised not to see phones out recording the sight.
  17. Cheaper than improving on the infrastructure.
  18. There is a good chance she will be following in mommy's footsteps!
  19. At least.... Fortunately they do seem to get on with the job of repairs to the beach and a good job too, it looks an absolute mess after a rainstorm, (like Normandy in 1944). If ever they let things slide there would be an end to tourism.
  20. Would that include the 14 million arrivals in the first 5 months of this year? Apparently these were better quality tourists than the larger numbers in 2024!
  21. Darn, a garden hoe is seriously a deadly weapon.
  22. I am impresses actually. It is one thing to stiff them for the bill, but to borrow from the owner to tip the staff is astounding!
  23. Blast from the past there!
  24. They do it in Thailand, mine used to be quite routine about it but these days it seems to be an occasional thing. No extra charge on the bill like the hospitals do thankfully!
  25. Agreed, don't double dip in the same pool, it can create friction.
