Went out around 7:30 8-ish, but on and off three or four times before going off for about ten to fifteen minutes here in Bangrak. From where I was, it looked to be the whole island. Every time it tried to come on there was a really bright flash near what looked to be the W hotel area. I was trying to isolate things in the MCB. For us in Bangrak it was only off for a short while, but apparently some of the bars in Bangrak lost it until 9-ish. Was also off in Chaweng. GF told me a big transformer in Bophut was the culprit.

Don't these boats have trackers on them? Even if they don't, something that size is not the easiest thing to hide. If witnesses saw people boarding the boat at 8am on 28th, and the owner arrived to find it missing at 11am, it can't have gone far in three hours.

I was told that Family Mart is Japanese owned, and that they are gradually pulling out of Thailand. Most of their shops seem to have gone since before Covid. Although a few seem to be hanging on.

I know that you asked for Pattaya, but Thantakit in Bangkok made me a mouthguard for muay thai a few years ago. Took a mould of my teeth. Could probably do something similar for your specific needs. Just google Thantakit dental.

Maybe the batteries are dead. As others have said. Easy to replace. If not sure what to do, can often find videos showing how on Youtube.

In Thailand. Do they have the concept of "Common Law Wife"? Where if a couple have lived together as man and wife for a certain period of time, they are classed as married. This meaning that in any separation, possessions are divided equally.. i'm sure that I read of it somewhere, but I may be wrong.

Don't forget the prequel to both 1923 and Yellowstone: 1883

Tulsa King. Starring Sylvestor Stallone as a 75 year old mafia capo just released from prison. Really enjoying it. Very good. New York mafia capo Dwight "The General" Manfredi, is released from prison after 25 years and exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma; realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a crew. Also watching Echo 3 on Apple TV+ Just finished Jack Ryan Season 3.

So why did Sky News report there were 250 million infections in China in December alone? That's almost five times the entire population of the UK. Ah well! Let's see how he backtracks and what his excuse is in a couple of months.

WhenI read that title, I thought they had hosed them down on arrival. ????

Very few condos in Samui. Even rarer, newer ones or apartments. will be even more difficult to find. any vacancies. Also will be expensive at this time of year. It is high season and everything is booked up. I know this because I have spent the last month trying to find a nice modern, apartment for a friend. Everyone is saying the same thing. nothing until end of January. Lots of pent up travel demand after the pandemic lockdowns, many Russians and Ukrainians escaping the war, and a large influx of Indian tourists this year for some reason (exchange rates?) have all contributed to this being one of the busiest high seasons for quite a while. As far as accommodation goes, you might have to lower your sights. If you are flexible, try searching on www.booking.com Best area to live? You want nightlife? Clubs? Quiet? Really quiet? Coral? All dead. So snorkelling a waste of time. You will need to go to the outer Phangan or better Tao. Supermarkets? Three or four: Tops, Big C, Lotus.

On my ones, all the live channels are numbered from 1-xxx. Can easily find past weeks catch up on the channels that have it. Also has a large selection of movies , tv shows, documentaries etc. EPG. All done through a box with remote. No messing about on the computer searching. It's all about convenience I suppose. If people prefer to pay for that convenience rather than searching online for things to stream, that up to them. Each to their own. I also have Kodi. Rarely use it nowadays, but sometimes do

A Drugs Hotline? How many "My neighbour is smoking a joint." calls will they get?

I use, and can recommend the same service. In fact I have two. One from another provider.

You can download one of these apps from the Google Play store to your Android box or device. As for the login details, password and any other information required, you would get them from the IPTV provider once you pay for the service. the provider would likely advise you which app to download.

Just look for a woman walking bow legged. Oh! Wait a minute! It's Pattaya. ????

Must be something similar to a Segway.

With 250 million Covid infections in December alone in China according to Sky News, it might be a good idea to impose restrictions. We know from past experience that a negative Covid test isn't a great barrier to stopping the infected coming in.

The authorities have already stated no bivalent vaccines in Thailand until earliest, second quarter 2023. So will only be getting rid of existing stocks of older vaccines.

+1. I often order Heinz Baked Beans and soups, and Haywards Piccallili from them. There is also another shop on there called Brit Shop. The only reason I think the OP can't find his desired foods in Tops or Big C is because of shortages due to logistic problems, bad weather and / or Christmas. Many Brits have arrived in Thailand and have buying up their favourites for the Christmas period. I haven't seen Kallo Chicken stock cubes or Heinz Beans in any supermarket for months. Also haven't seen any cucumbers since November.

5 million will buy a lot of Tea.

If it indeed happens, I expect to see motorbike accidents and deaths go up. Hordes of two up Chinese tourists on scooters who have never ridden in their lives, negotiating Thailand's roads. One shakily driving, while the one on the back gives directions from their mobile phone. Admittedly, some blame goes to the rental shops, but I wonder how easy it is in China to get a Driving Licence without any driving or riding experience.
