101 days of stocks they might have, but that doesn't stop the panic buying and run on supplies leading to shortages at the pump. Mrs reports the gas station near the house is out of both diesel and gas/petrol.

I am sure there are many more having the same issues than this one guy. There's a vlogger who wasn't even changing planes in the Middle East, who has got stuck here. He was flying BKK-BOM-MAN.

Yeah, at first I thought they had been poisoned, then I was thinking of date rape types of drugs. Now it sounds like a malicious act using something someone had in hand.

Working extra time without pay, and being ripped off for some obligatory accommodation. Some middle management taking advantage.

I you don't see it I doubt I can explain it to you! Unmissed for 3 or 4 days and only discovered due to the odour!

Protectionism of a monopoly!

And maybe reconsidering how they sell them various drugs all hours of day or night! A very short fuse for the common occurrence of being kept waiting as a women shops.... the clock must have been running!

All they got from her was the word 'balcony' in Russian!

This opportunity was why they took the job in the first place...just not enough tourists to go around now.

Have they got rid of the Muay Thai that used to be an attraction there? Ladyboys fighting tourists and now migrants fighting seems to be the latest attraction.

Sad lonely end.

Agreed, not many positions of power go unmilked here.

I recall conversing with a lady working as a Visa agent who regaled me of her tale of working as a nurse prior. She came out with a litany against a particular hospital in town, which had caused her to give up the job. Don't know if it is general or peculiar to certain hospitals.

Regular occurrence each year as we come out of high season.

Fair point, I might have it under my feet!

I believe it is legal and regulated here.

I believe this is carry on baggage. I used to put a small padlock that fit through the zipper tags on mine.... once through security it would not be an issue. So many people grab the opportunity for 40 winks when travelling, but it is surprising nobody did anything sooner, or spotted the guy.... the local habit of minding your own business? I must be nosey as I doubt I would ignore such behaviour.

I expect he/she/it will be out pilfering when the month is out! Shave all that lovely hair before locking the cell door !

Yes, as we came home from eating last night a motorcycle was nearby, yet hardly visible. No lights on it, rider dressed darkly.. and despite the road lighting hard to see him. And Bangkok drivers are used to driving aggressively.

As I thought i got used to it, and also many places seem to have eased off and give you a bag anyhow now. I keep a small one under the motorcycle seat and one in my truck door. If I forget it I just buy a new one, got quite a number now!

And yet another. I expect the suspect is known to the police.

Philly actually, but I get your point!

It is probably too large from nearby for a good selfie!

There's a change!

Must have thought he was in Wallmart back home!
