  1. I seriously doubt that it would lower the prices in the bars, just increase profits for the bar owners. Maybe good for those drinking wine at home, but didn't they state that they were going to lower the tax on wine a few years back?
  2. Absolutely! I hadn't lived in Thailand long before I knew better.
  3. Is it really advisable for a PM to wear a jacket/shirt covered in Dollar symbols?
  4. What are most of these replies?? Are they meant as some sort of joke? Is rape of a 17-year-old a laughing matter!?
  5. Also, with the 7 days after, I am never sure about that because of the weird way the IO can count. For example, if the due date is the 10th, 7 days after would be the 17th. I am never totally sure about that as they may count the due date as the 1st of the 7. So I would always make sure that I report on the 16th at the latest to be on the safe side.
  6. "enforcement of the extension" Does that mean that they are going to force the pubs and bars to stay open until 4 AM? What would the penalties be for closing early I wonder!
  7. If you were walking with the traffic, why were you surprised by a motorbike coming up behind you? When walking down a one-way street without a pavement you should walk against the traffic, not with it.
  8. Crackdown. Isn't that when bar girls take strike action?
  9. You actually find people suffering serious injuries funny?! You are one sick individual!
  10. I'm not that interested.
  11. The headline also mentions "new challenges". New challenges facing Thai workers evacuated from Israel So what are these new challenges?
  12. I keep the sound off unless there is something in particular that I want to listen to.
  13. I had already watched the video and as i said, I couldn't tell you which one was the girl.
  14. I don't know if it was a male attacking a girl! It depends on who started throwing punches and I couldn't tell you which one was the girl.
  15. The article is very unclear. I don't know whether he has been released after serving his time or if charges have been dropped and what charges, drug dealing or money laundering.
  16. From the headline From the article So how many died?
  17. Probably full range from slightly salty to fish sauce with a touch of spice.
  18. I have this sense of superiority but with me it is not false!
  19. Why??? The bike accident wasn't related to the ambulance at all!
  20. You state that your monthly spending is approx. 25,000 Baht. Now, if you have bought your house, then I know that is possible, but I find it hard to imagine that this 25K also includes health insurance for a 76 year old. I advise you to check your coverage as it may not include full coverage. Your pension is 35K so you have scope to increase your spending each month and still not have to touch the money in the bank.
  21. Maybe this happened because the note is plastic? From the headline, what does choo choo mean?
  22. Confusing as is often the case! Who borrowed the money? The victim or the victim's parent?
  23. Possibly going on to something to do with the anniversary of the previous King's passing.
  24. sat in the seat behind the steering wheel. Amazing police work!
  25. Am I to understand from this article that the Nationwide closing time for bars etc is midnight? Exceptions being in some tourist hot spots? This is a surprise to me as some Thai bars in Khon Kaen (hardly a tourist hot spot!) are open and thumping out music until 3 AM. They have been since re-opening after covid. I am aware of some Thai bars open til past 8 AM but with the volume reduced.
