Whether it's me or not I can't tell, but I'm finding the audio on movies is becoming increasingly hard to pick up. Sure, some accents might as well be in another language apart from English, and the sound engineers on movies just don't seem to get that dialogue is far more important than guns and cars exploding. But it makes for a totally intolerable constant volume adjustment on the remote. So, I'd like to invest in a decent set of TV speakers. But no idea where to start. Budget maybe around 1500 THB. Would that cover it? Soundbar? Bluetooth? How say you guys?

Blame the victims. It's the only answer.

I always rented with Jack on Buakhao, but decided to buy. He sold me a "brand new" yammy 125 for 39,000 THB. It had been in a showroom for 3 years so was like yesterday's model. I took it to the Yamaha service centre on Pattaya Tai. They confirmed it was new, or maybe as new. 200 THB to check it over. It purrs along, literally! Find somebody you trust.

Yes. "This is not a drill. Return to your homes immediately. 18-30 yo males report to army barracks. The rest of you, bow down and shut up. Shoot on sight dissenters in operation."

Money laundering by any other name.

Love the shopping basket on the boy racer bike nearest the camera. Everything else stripped off.

Exactly. There must have been autopsies, right? 15 unexplained deaths, some young? No foul play?

The article only manages to account for about 10% of the 13.7 trillion THB owed. Does it include informal debt, ie to loan sharks etc? Who are the other creditors? Banks? Are they being audited? They must be carrying vast amounts of debt. Mortgages? Unsecured loans? Or secured on a chanote? Srettha might be right, but who's going to blow the whistle and open their books?

You'd need a combination and key safe. I got robbed with a key only safe. Lady friend simply knocked me out with an extremely effective sedative, found the key in my pocket and helped herself. Doh! What a plonker.

This is hilarious. You've got the PM bawling about a crisis and the banks saying rubbish, calm down, there's no crisis. But with no crisis Gollum can't get his prrrrecious wallet out. So can't get the votes secured he'll be needing next time round. He won't be shouting about a crisis once he's been in government for 12 months. Quite the opposite.

As usual all completely garbled. They arrested a man but said it was a woman who robbed them/him. It says "they" accepted an invitation to drink in his condo but there was only one culprit. Where did the third party go? And what was bought with the cards? And 4 laptops? 2 iPhones? So his mate brings the lady back to his condo, and he gets robbed. Has to be a Mickey Finn. And how did the cops trace the supposed culprit? And did they recover the lost gear? Or was it just another elaborate insurance job? Do these crime reporters get any sort of training at all?

Shocking misreporting headline more like. What a piece of sensationalist rubbish journalism, Puntid. You should be ashamed!

What on earth is Sweater on about? The price of meff hasn't risen? Indicating what? And what drug problem? They just assume there's one. Drugs and youth. Gotta be a problem, right? Nah. Idiots are idiots. Your technical colleges and education system are the problem.

If he can't control himself, take away his licence. Not fit for public service.

Som nam na if he is. His party threw Pita and co under a bus on this issue. Proper karma if he gets screwed by the same measure.

Not sure how reliable this is, but posting it FYI only. https://www.bangkokhospital.com/content/dengue-vaccine

"...might probably allegedly..." That's a reverse triple double proviso with toe loop if ever I read one.

And the winner is....?

I found fazwaz was good, for selling and renting.

Great idea. Maybe coffins should be placed at strategic intervals on major roads. With signs saying "Will this be your next stop? Slow the fxxx down!".

Carrying fertilizer? That was in the article following this one.

"The policy committee will be split into two groups. One will conduct public hearings while the other will assess the project. The first group will gather comments from the public and both public and private agencies, with a two-week deadline set. The second group, without a deadline, will scrutinise the handout results, including any alleged corruption." First group, 2 weeks to organise and hold public hearings? Any online capabilities? Two months I'd say, minimum. Maybe 2 years. Second group? 3-5 years. "The NACC also advised the committee against utilising language that could mislead people into thinking the scheme is a promise to give policy, in accordance with the Organic Act on the Election of Members of the House of Representatives 2018." Lol. Where's the Election Commission? A bit late for that isn't it? It was in their election manifesto. PT should be disbanded for blatantly trying to bribe the electorate. A "promise to give" policy has to be their speciality. All jam tomorrow.

Possible he's not comparing like with like. My daughter rents out a studio apartment in London, E3, for over £1000 pm. 45k THB. High end condos or pool villas I think can easily command that kind of rent. Maybe even a week. When I first moved to Pratamnak 30 months ago, I was paying 5.5k THB pm for a 1 bed ground floor flat in a very decent development. It's doubled since then.

These guys weren't able to show proof of anything.

If it's suspended (and pita's conviction et al is pending appeal) I don't think it prevents anyone from running for office. Section 98 of the Thai constitution: (6) being sentenced by a judgement to imprisonment and imprisoned by a warrant of the Court. It doesn't mention suspended.
