  1. What happens to all the oil from Thailand's onshore and offshore oilfields? Is it not enough to supply Thailand's needs? Or do they export it as part of a deal with the drilling companies?
  2. Firstly you will have to bear in mind all the anti money laundering and KYC regulations frequired nowadays to open any account. Maybe look at Dee Money for transfer out of Thailand. A service, not a bank. But you will obviously need a bank account (you mention Europe) to send the money to. HTH
  3. Tuesday night's Euromillions prize is an estimated £186,000,000. Wish I could do it from here. Won a few tenners in the UK and THB4,000 about a month ago here.
  4. Is a high end luxury resort, but villas looked like they were built out of natural materials like nipa when I was in Koh Kood a few years ago.. Just like a lot of other resorts here. Maybe that's why there was a fire. I believe rich guests could fly from Bangkok on a small plane to an airstrip cut out of a neighbouring island. Then a five or ten minute speedboat trip to the resort. Thereby reducing travel time. Sonashah Shivdasani is a British-Indian hotelier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonu_Shivdasani I presume he is wanted due to his position in the company that owns and/or runs the resort. Shows it is still taking bookings on Agoda. August. approx THB86,000 reduced to 33,000. So licence or not it may still be open.
  5. And to get one you need to comply with certain regulations such as having fire extinguishers and pool safety features (depth signs etc.)
  6. I thought this was what the gov't here wanted to avoid. People using it to get high.
  7. I would have thought that the Thailand Post websites would end in .co.th. The one you mention in your post, ending in .top looks suspicious.
  8. You would think that they would learn their lesson and put forward someone other than a Thaksin for the job. It's like a red rag to a bull. Why she would want to apply for a job that has exiled both her father and aunt? Her father is a billionaire, so she can't want for money...or maybe she does. Or, as I suspect, the puppet master is pulling the strings But I agree that 35 is far too young to run the country. What other work has she done? What qualifications does she have? There may be troubles ahead.
  9. Had 3 jabs. 2 x AZ, and last one 1 x Pfizer booster on 26/12/21. Still caught Covid over Songkran. The advice I read said don't vaccinate for six months after any infection. So I will not bother looking into it until October earliest. Even then, I will see how the situation is before considering another booster.
  10. Lots of video of guys like that on Youtube, building houses complete with all furniture in the jungle. They have the ideal ground to dig out, but their handiwork and the results are both amazing. I used to watch quite a few of them. Very skillful with bamboo as well.
  11. That'll teach him. He should have had seven shots and worn a mask.
  12. Tight clothing? I would have thought loose fitting clothing would offer more protection. Surely a mosquito could more easily bite through tight clothing.than loose.
  13. There is a limit. I can't remember what it is exactly, but I think it is around US$10,000 / day.
  14. I would recommend getting one of the larger capacity ones. We have a Tefal. 3 litre capacity I think, and though great, it's far too small for the three of us. I can just about get away with doing four fish fingers with fries, or a couple of chicken breasts. My next one will be one of the Phillips 5 litre ones. I'm no expert with it, but recently been cooking some fantastic Kentucky Fried Chicken style fillets lately. Found a recipe on Youtube, tried it and the little one loves it. She tells me it's better than "Kimtucky Fried Chicken.", as she calls it. One thing that I have found handy for cooking with the Air Fryer is an olive oil spray. It allows me to lightly coat some foods with a spray of oil, but not too much. Also have to experiment with the cook settings for whichever model you buy.. E.g. I find the settings for fries 200 degrees for 20 mins to be too high and too long. I find 180 for 12-14 mins to be enough.
  15. To paraphrase Jerry Lee Lewis. Goodness gracious! Great balls on fire!
  16. Assault causing death? I would have thought murder would be more appropriate. And filming it <deleted>?
  17. This whole legalisation idea has "gone to pot". Excuse the pun. Those that pushed for it couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery. Surely they could have drafted a clearer set of laws around this A lot of people will end up doing time due to the confusing way this has been implemented.
  18. If they take white clothes with them, I believe it is some sort of meditation, eat only veg, pray type of thing. Sort of like a three day religious retreat.
  19. Got away from a crowded, polluted city when I retired, to a tropical island with cleaner air, less traffic, better weather. It's not perfect, but I know I would be less fitter, less healthier, and less happier if I had stayed in London. Thailand has its downsides, but the good outweighs the bad as far as I am concerned. As for any hedonism, I outgrew that a long time ago.
  20. If it gets that bad that there is no food, those that have farms and food gardens will have to up their security, or get raided by hungry locals. Shares will be the last thing to worry about if a starving population revolt because they cannot afford to buy anything to eat.
  21. Maybe worth trying the Post Office via EMS.
