5 hour brown out yesterday, and now another one this morning.

I don't know why, but coming from Choengmon to Chaweng, as you pass the airport turnoff, and start to descend towards the Eranda Spa, the temperature along there can really drop on some cooler nights. Often wished I was wearing something warm when passing through there.

Not forgetting the dark tint that many add to their car windscreens.

Well spotted. Can't you just turn off all those permissions and continue to use the app? I realise it's probably to late, but I just turned off access to photos and camera. Microphone was already off.

He will probably be coming home as soon as the Statute of Limitations runs out on his remaining cases. Surely there can't be much longer left on them.

7-11 haven't paid for the advertising. 😀

I would take my bike if I did it again. Would save quite a bit of time, and more convenient. This being wet season, and the rain we have had recently, I didn't want to chance it.

I was applying for IDP for car only. Documents required: Original Passport Photocopy Passport ID page and visa stamp Certificate of Residence Copy of Driving licence (front and back) Was also asked to write down which country, or countries I wanted the IDP for. I left early yesterday morning. I bought a one way ticket for SeaTran ferry and bus to Surat Thani (THB320) as I didn't know how long it would take. Depart Nathon 07:00. Arrive Donsak 08:30 Depart on bus 09:00 Arrive Surat Thani around 10:00. I asked to be dropped off near the Land Transport Office. 4th Floor...Reception checked documents and given a ticket number. Was seen, documents checked, charged THB505, and given a receipt by 10:20. I was thinking to myself, "This is gonna be quick." Then the lady told me to come back at 13:00. With time to kill I went off to buy a bus and ferry ticket back to Donsak. Phantip Travel is about a kilometer up the road, but I flagged down a tuk tuk. I took a chance and booked the !3:30 bus. 13:00 was sent straight to the window, picked up my IDP. Took another tuk tuk to Phantip's shop and waited for the bus. It stops right outside the shop. Back to Donsak, 15:00 ferry and back home by just after 17:00. i also noticed that there is a Department of Motor Vehicles in Surat. I don't know if they would also issue IDP's. The one in Samui certainly doesn't. HTH

I came across him on Youtube recently announcing another march, either this month or next. He stated he was going to reveal all Kier Starmer's dirty secrets. Whatever they are.

Update: Went to Lipa Noi last with both licences and 2 copies of new passport and visa page. Told I needed a Certificate of Residence. Went back today with documents and Cert of Residence. Was then asked, "Have you done the test? Do you have proof?" Luckily I still had the screenshot on my phone. Was then called for photo to be taken and ten minutes later walked out with new DL's. So it's not just a case of turning up with both licences to change the passport number. Off tomorrow to Surat for the IDP. Let's hope that goes smoothly.

Yes. The double entendre was intended. 😃

Got together in January, broke up in March, and he has only now posted the media in October. He must have been festering for some time, thinking about his revenge.

As far as thje assets in the UK go, if the father never left a will, you might have to contact the Probate Court. Sorry that I can't offer any more than that.

I always carry a few thousand baht in cash with me, even though I normally pay my bills in supermarkets by scanning QR codes. However. Twice this week, Makro and Tops, those QR codes would not work, (This payee cannot currently receive payment. Or something like that), and I had to pay in cash. Also this week I did some haggling for cash and got over 40% reduction in price. I knew they were asking far too much (THB110), as I currently had the same things on order on Lazada for THB40. Cash is still king in my book. I don't know how true this is, but my GF told me there are always problems paying by QR codes at the end of the month in Makro.

THB200,000 is a lot of money. But to take someone's life and ruin your own?

If you mean those 20 baht shops, I thought the same, and tried about four of them, plus a couple of Mr. DIY shops. Found one single beer condom. But all is OK now.

Only once?

What is it with all these Billionaires want ing be PM?

Thanks everyone. I finally managed to find some in one of those 'tourist tat" shops along Chaweng Beach Road.

Yes. he does speak Thai. I often watch his Youtube videos where he talks about things Thai and farang, or about life on the farm. He is a reformed alcoholic who I think settled for country life to get away from the temptations of Phuket. He portrays quite a happy, easy going lifestyle, but he does have a few small businesses on the go, such as selling Lion's head mushrooms and supplements online to bolster his income. He seems like a nice guy who has found his happy spot with his wife and young children. Good for him.

Thanks. I did look everywhere there, but couldn't see any. I have to go there again this afternoon and will ask.

Title says it all. Tried several places without success. Not looking for anything special. Just the usual branded beer bottle ones. I ordered some from Lazada, but they running late with delivery, and need them for a small party. TIA

Or the BUMjumthai.

Don't you mean the squirts?

That photo reminds me of those "add a caption" competitions. Best one won the prize. Though I wouldn't like to win what she is holding.
