  1. The security guard and his assistant have been cleared on any involvement after telling police they had not seen the steel container holding the caesium-137
  2. Personally I don't find two people overcome by a sudden feeling of passion obscene. But to each their own. Let your passion flow in Pattaya (or something). If you're offended, look somewhere else.
  3. Especially seeing she will need to have the work reviewed as soon as possible by a competent surgeon to make sure it has been done correctly.
  4. Looks like she's not averse to wearing prison orange.
  5. Just to follow up. Taping the holes seems to work. It also results in a vacuum-packed effect as the rice absorbs all of the moisture in the bag ????
  6. So that only leaves the roughly six months it takes to train a person for one position in a crew of four: plus mechanics. Otherwise they're just very expensive targets.
  7. Can always rely on the Asean Now mob to leap in with "deport them" and "blacklist them". No. They should be charged and processed like any other miscreant. If it takes a month or two or six for their case to get to court and they need to pay Bt100,000 or so for a lawyer bad luck for them. If found guilty then after making restitution they can be deported and blacklisted. Everyone is entitled to due process, even if it is expensive.
  8. "But usually the new mutation get less and less severe". Ridiculous. What viruses have gotten less severe over time? Polio? Measles? Ebola? Syphilis? Typhoid? That's a total myth. "There is a very low chance of a more severe mutation happening". Absolutely totally ridiculous bull based on zero scientific knowledge held by the writer.
  9. The death penalty is *always* taken off the table when Thailand seeks extradition.
  10. Had a similar problem many years ago. Went to the embassy and they photocopied the data page and banged a stamp on it and wrote that it was a copy of the true original document, or words to that effect. There wasn't any charge for that. Never got challenged over the passport, so never had to pull out the letter. The main bits are the machine readable code along the bottom wide edge. If they're not damaged and can still be read, along with your stamps (which you said were okay) then you're probably ok.
  11. Yes it is. But it's on all of the CP products and the Makro brand as well (same company). I had the country manager come out and they were the ones who mentioned the holes. He also said that the fumigant they use in Cambodia comes from Vietnam and may not be as effective as what they use in Thailand. They're not licenced to import the Thai product. I'm waiting to see if covering the holes helps.
  12. Maybe they just should adjust their prices upwards so that they can pay a decent and proper wage instead of trying to be the one selling the most at the lowest prices and relying on ar fines and girly drinks to make their profit.
  13. I keep my rice in a plastic container. Every now and then I put it outside in the sun and take the lid off and let the bugs leave by themself. Those that remain come out during the washing process. They float. Here's something most people don't know. If you're buying bags of rice that are reasonably fresh and which have not been stored for a long period amongst other bags, tape up the moisture holes. There's usually four of them, two on the front and two on the back.
  14. Scum. Pure scum. Should be 10 years minimum jail for anyone who adulterates food.
  15. Yep. Much better choice for Thailand than all of this windmill and solar <deleted>. Time people got their heads out of dark places and stopped drinking the KoolAid. All extracted using diesel fueled trucks and processed using high temperature processes that can *only* be fuelled by coal.
  16. Anyone smart will go to India where the medical treatment is outstanding, the prices about 1/4 of Thailand, the doctors speak English, and where no medical visa is required for most procedures. India removed the requirement to have a medical visa to receive medical treatment in 2019 (from memory). You generally need to have a companion for anything requiring an anesthetic though. I received six coronary stents in Chennai, India for US$9,000. My friend got one at Bumrungrad at about the same time a few years ago and it cost him $14,000. A second was going to push the cost to $20,000. There is no reason for there to be such a difference in the cost of stents. When I went to one Bangkok hospital complaining of chest pains they sent me to another hospital because their CT wasn't working. At the second hospital they gave me an anginine pill and told me to return to outpatients the next day despite having an elevated troponin T level (indicative of a heart attack). At the outpatients clinic I was told to come back in two weeks. I was also told that foreigners complain a lot. I told the dried up old prune wearing a white jacket that's "why we live longer". I had one more stent inserted at the army hospital in Phnom Penh and that cost $4,000. My friend had one inserted at a different Phnom Penh hospital and was charged over $14,000. All those throughout this thread heaping praise on Thai medical treatment, kiss my a**. You have no idea what quality medical treatment is. I would not suggest a single Thai facility to anyone abroad wanting treatment for a medical condition (good for plastic surgery).
  17. No one complaining about the graphic vision coming out of Kyiv currently following the Russian missile strikes. A lot of people expressing fake outrage at two journalists DOING THEIR JOB and totally ignoring the bad precedents' being set and further tightening of press freedoms. You let the genie out of the bottle and good luck putting it back. It's not any journalist's right to criticise a working journalist for not sticking with the pack and writing and filming the same stuff as everyone else. It's especially out of line for the FCCT to criticise working journalists, endangering them and other foreign media. So as it stands now the press, at least according to Teeranai Charuvastra, Jonathan Head, Saksith Saiyasombut and the FCCT board, should have freedom to say, do, and go where they want if it's about politics, or certain institutions (but not other institutions that those criticising this CNN pair won't write about), but not in the area of crime. How about the environment? Or government contracts? or agriculture? It's amusing that those making the most noise are those who don't routinely do field work, but are happy to illegally possess and wear a ballistic jacket when they do venture out of their office at those times when it is wise to have one. Also the same old grifters such as HRW sticking their nose in to <deleted>bag out of town journalists (because they can't get played by him the way the ones he drinks with can). The same HRW grifter who refused to support journalists when they tried to get legal access to PPE about 10 years ago saying it wasn't a human rights issue. The only thing missing from the RTP video is two guys standing on each side with their heads wrapped in a Keffiyeh holding AK-47s. Anyone who thinks that's a good look for two people doing their job, or for Thailand, really should give it another thought.
  18. Well if you really want to know you go here and see what happens if a nuke drops on Bangkok. It's a bit old, but nothing's probably changed. It's got every Asean city with an airburst and a groundburst and casualties and more. I new there was a good reason for bookmarking it ???? https://aseannewstoday.com/2017/nukemap-what-if-north-korea-drops-a-nuclear-bomb-on/
  19. The price tag has nothing to do with quality or performance. I have had no problems over the last 20 years in multiple rental properties all fitted with a standard Panasonic water heater. The current ones are eight and 10 years old. I'm happy not having to pay more.
  20. Seem to recall them making this a requirement about four or five years ago.
  21. What six days? As someone else said, it's been raining in the North and NE since late July. Now,, where do you think that waters going?
  22. It's been raining in the North & NE since July. I said on August 6 that Bangkok will flood this year similar to 2011 and I still expect that to happen.
  23. Disconnect the battery immediately and don't try restarting it until it's dry. And read the guides @Hummin posted
