  1. The essentials for visiting a beach.
  2. Single shot firearm same size and shape as an ink pen. (Probably homemade)
  3. Maybe she didn't have much of a choice if was brandishing a gun and had already shot two people.
  4. A couple of days ago I saw a clip on Thai news of a similar incident. I may have missed it but I haven't seen it reported on this website. Two motorcyclists were waiting to make a u-turn on a dual-carriageway when a group of 6 or so motorcyclists pulled up and immediately starting attacking one of the riders waiting to make the turn. He was knocked off his bike and attempted to run away but he ran straight into the oncoming traffic and was hit by a pickup truck that was travelling in the right-most lane. He bounced off the pickup into the left-hand lane where he appeared to be run over by large truck. The people (and I use that term loosely) that had attacked him all took off on their motorcycles. The whole thing was quite horrifying to see and I think the people involved should be locked up for a significant amount of time. The government/police really need to say that enough is enough and clamp down on teenage gang violence with serious time for offenders.
  5. Judging by the description in the link, it sounds like he has invented the carpet sweeper that my mum had in the 60's
  6. Sounds like he studied business under 'Tony'
  7. Short version says "misunderstanding" but the long version says they had a fight.
  8. So according to the linked story, he lost 10,000 baht and then spent another 350,000 baht trying to get it back. Was he studying economics?
  9. Try reading it again. Ice didn't murder anyone.
  10. What a radical idea, to actually want to know the name of the person you are voting for!
  11. The CCTV was on national television in the morning news.
  12. How about if the 13 senators who voted for Pita refuse to support the imposters? Make that 363.
  13. You're wrong, they can be bought separately. I also go to the 'yellow cog' shop to get my compulsory insurance and always refuse their offer to do the road tax for me for the simple reason that I find it easier to get it at the DLT drive-thru window.
  14. Looks more like Monty.
  15. Here is a list of ATM fees in Thailand, valid as of May 2023 I believe the Wise card is a debit card only.
  16. So the price has gone up 2 baht a kilo (actually, on the figures given, its gone up 2.33). What's the average serving size of a plate of rice? Somewhere between 100-200g? She could add 1 baht to the price of each dish and make an extra profit from it. What a non-story.
  17. A few years back I had a registered parcel go missing, the tracker said it had been delivered. I went down to the post office where they had the sorting office and showed them the tracking number. Asked me to wait and after a few minutes they handed me a phone and said to speak to our local delivery woman. Her English was about as good as my Thai but the gist of the matter was that she had left my parcel at the village pharmacy and I should go and pick it up from there. I drove back to the village and across the road from the building that serves as a post office (never seen it actually open) was a pharmacy. Went into the pharmacy and asked them for my parcel, blank looks all round so I called my wife and got her to explain why I was there. Off they went into the back of the shop came back after a few minutes and said no parcel. I'm insisting there must be, they keep saying no and I can see that the women is getting agitated so I leave. I call the post lady and she insists it's at the pharmacy and says its the one across from the police station, except there is no pharmacy across from the main police station. I think about it for a while and then the penny drops, there is a police box at the start of the village and there is a small soi across from it. I drive there and sure enough, there's a pharmacy in that street and they have my parcel. Turns out that the man in the pharmacy is the husband of the post lady. Doesn't really explain why they didn't deliver it to the house but I was just happy to get the parcel. Were they going to wait until I got sick to give it to me? I also went back to the other pharmacy and showed them the parcel, tried to explain the mix-up but by that point I think the owner was convinced that I was a random nutter. Moral of the (longish) story? The Thai post moves in mysterious ways.
  18. If they were in the least bit interested in standing firm they wouldn't have dumped the Move Forward party.
  19. Yes and IIRC several posters on this site at the time said they had no sympathy for the young Vietnamese lady who had been turned away from an over-crowded hospital.
  20. Judging by the name I'd hazard a guess that Monir is a Muslim which may be why he would prefer a female doctor to attend to his daughter.
  21. Big fan of Mussolini by any chance?
  22. Yeah but there's 250 people I can think of who aren't sure if they'll be able to make their payments after May 2024.
