  1. Although I detest Islam as evil and divisive I do like staying in a Hotel with a lot of Muslim guests, as we did last week in Bangkok. For one thing it means the menus are more extensive. Another positive is that they are not likely to come back at 3.a.m drunk and causing a noise, or worse have a new 'girlfriend' in tow then keep you up half the night while they get their monies worth. Muslim visitors are OK by me.

    I was not aware of asbestos was widely being used here. I have cut many a floor tile and many cement board products since moving here.

    Dont suppose the health department would even consider putting warning labels on these products containing asbestos to at least give the consumer a choice.

    Just a related story from last year about the use of lead in just about every brand of Thai paint. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/676309-high-level-of-lead-found-in-many-paints-in-thailand/

    You must be blind, almost every other house has asbestos tiles on extensions and asbestos walls cutting them off from next door, it's all over the place. Siam Cement makes it all.

  3. Had 12 refuse us at Suk soi 7 on Friday, long 25k trip. Decided to go to klong Toey instead, short trip, 200 baht was offered for a 60 baht ride, lazy cheating scum, on this occasion at least. The 14th cab stopped agreed to go on the meter, but then proceeded to moan about his lot, how much the taxi hire cost him etc. Must give the tourists a really good impression of the country! Nobody forces them to drive a taxi, but having chosen to they need to at least obey the laws governing there operation.

    The story doesn't make clear why she was convicted in the first place.

    Cos this is Thailand, in any country with a legal system based on real evidence she would never have been in court in the first place. Now this case is farcical and the Police are making bigger fools of themselves due to an instability to admit their incompetence . Not only witnesses who say it was a man behind the wheel, but even the man himself, and proven the car was never in an accident, the evidence is overwhelming in her favor, but the song and dance drags on.
