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.

I would hope not as it would be wrong! 4.5 million kilogrammes equals 4,500 Tonnes.

When was the last time that anyone got a residence certificate free from immigration? I needed one about 18 months ago. 500 Baht in Khon Kaen (no receipt).

Tiffy tablets contain 500 mq paracetamol. What do you mean by overdosing? You should take a maximum of 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours and no more than 8 tablets in a 24 hour period. If you overdose you are risking liver damage which can be fatal. Source

These warnings seem to appear on a weekly basis nowadays. Is this just so that they must be correct some of the time?

Why am I the worst? This is my post that you quoted Please tell me what makes you think that I am the worst after reading my post.

I agree with you - to a point. I find it annoying when I speak Thai and they reply in English when their English is extremely poor and I find it very difficult to understand what they are saying. I am far from fluent in Thai, so if their English is better than my Thai, I am happy to speak English with them. If they ask if they can practice their English with me, I am happy to comply.

I used to go to the Winter Gardens in Margate quite often to see bands. The Smiths performed there in 1985 or thereabouts. I wasn't overly enthusiastic about going to see them, but I was really glad that I did. It was a great night.

250 senators are emulating Uriah Heep!

The company is basically defunct. It is not possible to sell the shares as they are not tradeable.

You seemed to have completely missed the obvious fact that my reply was tongue in cheek. The post that I was replying to listed "Quality" tourists and that post also included a bit of tongue in cheek. Considering that there were so few arrivals from Kuwait, it is amazing how often Kuwaitis have been in the news recently with their antics in Pattaya. That is why when someone listed certain counties as "Quality" tourists I replied "Don't forget Kuwait!" Do you understand now?

Don't forget Kuwait!

When was the last time that you saw an increase of 1 Baht for a meal? With the rice price increase, it probably means an additional cost of 20 or 30 Satang per meal, but they would increase the cost to the customer by 5 or even 10 Baht.

I agree with you. Conditions look better than a lot of Brits have to live in and if I was a refugee I would be grateful for the accommodation. Why should the government continue to pay 800 pounds of taxpayers' money every week to house them in hotels?

There isn't a supply glut. I guess that India's export ban has pushed up global prices and created more demand for Thailand's rice. If Thailand exports more rice, there is less supply for the domestic market

I don't think that anyone would pay 117 baht for a kilo of white rice! Prices may be rising but I bet the farmers that harvest around November will see prices for paddy rice fall again

It rings a bell with me as well. I seem to remember something about being able to sue someone for having sex with your wife. That would have been over 20 years ago though.

A Queerum?

The Daily News article states that a single foreign male dressed in black threatened a group of more than 10 tourists (possibly from Kuwait) with a firearm. He made them sit in a row. Nothing about 10 foreign men brandishing guns

From the updated article a few posts above yours. So I guess that the residents were there first.

Storing explosives in a residential area!!!! I hope that those responsible face at least manslaughter charges and a long time in prison.

The 800K does not need to come from abroad. If doing an extension based on income it does.

Years ago, my GF at the time co-signed a loan for a friend who was buying a pick-up. I told her that she should not do it as when the friend defaults, she will be responsible for paying back the loan. She didn't believe me as she had no idea what she was signing. The problem is that many people are very naïve about debt and are incapable of doing very simple mathematics. The amount of people that struggle to survive on their income will borrow money that they cannot possibly repay. It is very simple to work out that if every month, at the end of the month, all of the person's earning have been spent on necessities, there will be nothing left to service a loan. Yet they will take out a loan and seem to believe that the additional x thousands of Baht that they need to repay each month will magically appear from somewhere!

The Thai word for niece, laan saao, confusingly, is also the Thai word for granddaughter.

There have been 266 weekly updates?? That's over 5 years worth! Did the pandemic start in 2018 and they kept it quiet?
