  1. For some time, there have been problems with copy CD vendors on Jomtien Beach. The disputes have centered on territorial issues. The two men involved in the dispute are Khun Nawin aged 26 and Khun Wootishai aged 23. On Sunday Afternoon, in front of hundreds of tourists, the two men came to blows and despite calls to Police suggesting a fight was about to start, officers arrived after the fight had finished despite the station being situated only 100 meters from the incident. Spikes which keep beach umbrellas from flying away in the wind and other weapons were used in the fight and both men received serious injuries during the scuffle and were rushed to Hospital. Khun Nawin, died from his injuries in Hospital while Khun Wootishai is fighting for his life and is on the critical list at this time. Police are investigating.

  2. On Monday Morning, Police Colonel Teerapong, the Acting Chief of Pattaya Police was called to the Spanish Condominium Development located on the Sukumvit Road in Central Pattaya to investigate a suspected suicide of a foreign man. At the scene, the Colonel was directed to the stairwell between floors 3 and 4 at Building Number 6. It appeared that the victim had hung himself using a length of material from the stairwell. A search of his pockets revealed his passport and door entry card for room number 208 on the second floor of the same building. The man was identified as Mr. Alan Michael Ahern aged 33 from Ireland. The body was discovered by a cleaner at the Condominium, Khun Suree aged 40 who did not recognize the man at first but she later remembered that he was staying in the room which was owned by his friend. On Sunday Night she remembered seeing Mr. Ahern holding a can of beer and he appeared to be in a drunken state. Nothing else is known about Mr. Ahern including any possible motives behind the apparent suicide which is now under investigation by Pattaya Police.

  3. Hi,

    The wife and I are currently preparing to put in our Settlement visa application within the next month, I wondered if you would be so kind as to if there are any guides or info I can read on what paperwork I can prepare here in the UK. I have read Robs Guide which was great and wondered if there are any more informations available? I am trying to learn as much as I can to support my wifes application and make sure I have all of the necessary paperwork required, and more!

    Thanks for reading and thanks for any help! :) I will like to join everyone here in the waiting game also!

    12:00-20:00

    A Thai festival at Trafalgar Square aims to get Londoners excited about Thai culture, cuisine, music, dance and the country itself with a one off day of amazing free events. Representing both modern and classical Thailand, the Thai festival at Trafalgar Square will bring market stalls, live performances and the colour and vibrance of a Thai village into the heart of the city.

    Unlike the annual Thai Festival at Battersea Park, the Trafalgar Square event will introduce people to the arts, design and fashion of Thailand, along with giving people the chance to sample delicious Thai style cuisine. Focusing on the fusion of modern and traditional elements of the culture from Thailand, the Thai festival at Trafalgar Square is sure to be another fantastic addition to the calender of free events held there.

    A jazz concert, a traditional drum medley and a contemporary style folk dance are just some of the delights you can expect during the Thai festival at Trafalgar Square, as the four regions of the country are represented with energetic live music and unusual dancing. Dramatic traditional Thai dance performances will also take place during the festival, with the classical battle between Tosaka and Rama being shown as a grand masked drama.

    For everyone who associates Thailand with fantastic martial arts displays, you will not be disappointed as the Thai martial arts medley shows off the skill and precision of Thai boxing, and fighting with swords, spears and batons, while the stunning fire breathers perform against a backdrop from the epic Thai film, Suriyothai.

    You can also get a real (and literal) taste for Thai culture and cuisine with the Thai festival at Trafalgar Square as the traditional market stalls will be selling their unusual wares throughout the day. Food, drink, fruits and flowers, arts, crafts and fashion will all be available on the day, along with the chance to check out the chicest resorts and most wonderful locations for anyone who fancies heading to Thailand for real.

    A full on vibrant celebration of the colour and flavour of a unique country, the Thai festival at Trafalgar Square takes place from 12pm on Saturday 14th June 2008.
