Don't know about that. All the MPs that turned to other parties when Future Forward was banned lost their seats in the subsequent election. Move Forward have a backup party to move to. Meanwhile Pita etc will still maintain a public profile as Thanathorn, Piyabutr, Chor, the ex leaders of FF, do in the Progressive Movement.

The kid was doing okay, what went wrong?

Love Spanish and its offshoots music

Wonderful

Sweet playing from Albert

An interesting documentary about John Mayall. Lived in a treehouse as a young man!

And now Barack and Michelle back Kamala. It's all over for Donald.

Sadly Jerry Miller of Moby Grape died a few days ago. What a unique band they were.

It's been a long and memorable road.

Hilarious

Shedding some light on the murders "Grand Hyatt Bangkok: Victims drank from cyanide-laced teacups - BBC News" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3g64ljwp2go

Don't you think it should be in the main news section? Many readers, for obvious reasons, don't read the Bangkok news section.

For a long time now, I've noticed that thai visa and following that, aseannow, have been slow, up to 24 hours behind current news. 6 people dead in a prominent Bangkok hotel. Nothing here in the news.

I was so in love with Hayley Mills as a kid.

Regarding alcohol on the trains, it was wonderful in the past sitting in the buffet car, windows wide open to the night sky, eating lemon grass soup with shrimp and sipping a Sing or Leo as the train rocked along to morlam blaring out some speaker. But there is a downside. Drunk people talk louder and don't know when to stop or consider other people, so quiet carriages that at present are only disturbed by snorers by 10.00 pm, could soon have unpleasant confrontations if drinking is again allowed on trains. One solution could be drinkers only carriages where passengers could imbibe to their hearts' content, rolling and tumbling all night long. Naturally these carriages would have to be at the end of the train.

I disagree. MF know dissolution is very much on the cards and possible life time bans for the 40 plus MPs who backed the proposed changes to the 112 law. But they have a back up party, to be led by Parit ( Abhisit's nephew if I recall right.). So, imo, they are telling the public, these are our proposals, this is what we stand for, reform of Thailand. If you, the public feel the same way, vote for us the next time.

Going back more than 10 years, the trains were in a bad way, frequently arriving late. But over the last decade I've noticed the night train to Udon/ Nong Khai invariably arrives on time. It's a comfortable sleep too with pillows,sheets and a blanket, £25 for second class sleeper. I disagree with air-con though for the whole train. Open windows are great when passing through the countryside. You see so much more on a train compared to a highway where there's nothing but garages and shop houses next to the road.
