Shaving gear past & present. When I first arrived in Thailand I brought over with me this MERKUR safety razor which I purchased in Jermyn St. London early eighties , but getting blades for it became a PITA and I changed to these 5 blade disposable 3-packs from Aeon in Japan about 5 years ago. I usually bring over 4 packs which last at least 1 year..

Accident BFB Pattaya City Goalkeeper Karn Danai Dies After Crash Injuries
a3tsw replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
Why on earth didn’t they take him to the correct hospital to begin with (that seems to happen here often) and it seems that they do not know his blood type (no medical records kept or available) , so they will just transfuse him with whatever comes through the door first , providing of course that is red.. -

Just been shopping in Makro. Cheese has always been a bit pricey, but now with aro vintage cheddar at 198bht for 500gm How would you rate that for strength on a scale of 1 to 5 , 1 being almost tasteless and 5 being strong as Stilton. Going to Makro on Wednesday , so may pick some up. Also , do they come in 1kg size blocks? Thanks for posting this.. -

About 6 weeks ago coconut milk disappeared from the shelves of all the supermarkets around where I live in Phuket for around 2 weeks , when they reappeared the price (1,000ml) had increased from 61baht to 76baht or 25% increase. -

Wet floors in businesses used by the public in Thailand.
a3tsw replied to Don Giovanni's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Wot you need to do is get yourself down to your nearest shopping mall and seek out a part where the floor is wet. I would suggest something like the wet fish section of a grocery store and grab a coffee and hang around waiting for someone to slip and crack their skull. Then sue the owners for trauma due to the nightmares brought about by witnessing the event. Matter of fact if you find a potential slip hazard , give me a bell and I’ll join you, this time next year we could be millionaire’s. Champagne , Champagne for everyone …🥂 ching ..ching 🤣 -
Interesting , As I understand all NI numbers end with the letters A , B , C , D , or E corresponding to the working days of the week , Mon , Tues ,Wed , Thur , Fri. My NI is ends with letter C , therefore I get paid on Wednesday. But my last 2 numerical digits also fall within the range of 40~59 which also comply with what you have said. As far as whether one gets paid out on a weekly or 4 weekly cycle is concerned , that is something that gets asked when you initially apply for the pension , ie you get to choose which ever method of payment suits you , or at least it did so when I initially reached pensionable age 7 year’s ago.

British Woman Arrested at Phuket Airport for 207-Day Visa Overstay
a3tsw replied to Georgealbert's topic in Phuket News
“It remains unclear why she overstayed or whether she had made any attempts to report her status or rectify the issue with immigration authorities prior to her arrest.” And there we have it , we do not know whether she had or didn’t have the necessary funds to pay the overstay fine or if the reporter will investigate further and clarify the issue. I am sure readers would wish to know whether Phuket immigration are now arresting overstayers at the airport even if they do have the means available to pay the overstay fine. There have been several similar reports recently of people on overstays being arrested whilst attempting to depart from Phuket airport , but none of them have answered this question. -
