CP to sign airport train contract on Thursday

Big parties in Mercedes and BMW dealers are organised for Friday.

Good Morning,

For the past two days each time I click on a link in the email you send I get the above message, or bad gateway error. Is the problem at your end or mine?

I am using Torch browser on windows 10.

Many thanks

AFJ

I would hazard a guess that the last picture was of the aftermath of that increasingly common animal to these shores........the lesser spending Chinese tourist.

Do you think you have, as an individual, anything in common with these people?  

I do know I have my own mind and I am not driven by an ideology I can neither prove nor substantiate. By the way I lived in the middle east for 22 years, I do have friends in Saudi Arabia, there are, I agree, some nice people there, but at the end of the day if it is a choice between you, a western infidel, or their religion, you will lose every time. Have a good day Sir.

Strict measures on using the three pesticides will take effect on October 20.

....Who is going to monitor Somchai in the backwoods of Nakhon Nowhere.....

When the new law comes into effect, farmers must provide certification to sellers or shops that they have been trained on how to properly use the pesticides,

.......except the shop selling the chemicals is Somchai's cousin......and who is going to train the trainer.

The person spraying the pesticides must also have a licence,

.......Well, that system hasn't worked for decades in regards to driving on the roads, so how is it going to make a difference  in the fields..........

At least it gave me a good laugh this morning, but seriously, forget the pressure from big companies and fat directors, just ban them outright.

I had a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia. He attended an event where a person was beheaded and a few others had arms chopped off. He told me they seemed  to enjoy having a westerner there.

Correct. We never went near the town ( Jubail, on the eastern province ) on a Friday after lunchtime prayer as that was when the toppings and choppings occured in the square outside the mosque. they would always push westerners to the front.

Why do they even bother going through this charade? Everybody knows King Power envelopes are the biggest and the best.

They are just getting ready to fill them, part time workers required...........

Nitinai expects the competition to be fierce and believes the same firms that recently sought the duty-free concessions for Suvarnabhumi Airport and several provincial airports would also participate in this process.

I don't know why anyone would bother putting in a bid, it is a foregone conclusion who will get the concession.

Nobody helped extract the tourists from under the car until the Police arrived! I hope the lady wasn't slowly being crushed to death by the weight.

 

I wonder how many were standing around watching.

Do you not mean filming on the mobiles.

R.I.P. to the lady, but it seems possible it is just another inexperienced rider not able to handle the conditions.

Bahrain

Brunei

Monaco

Kuwait

Saudi Arabia

Oman

Swaziland

Lesotho

Morocco

Tonga................... ....Oh, and The United Kingdom........

Ah, the old National Security chestnut again. Incompetent Paranoid military scheming to graft more Baht from the taxpayer through hair-brained projects that will, once all the budgets have been "appropriated", fade into history.

Wife was in a  van yesterday BKK  Hua  HIn one of the new  bigger  minivans, she said  as she sat next to the driver, driver did  not wear his seat belt and the   alarm for this bong bong  bong  bong going the entire  trip, also he was  talking to himself  all the time? Yaba? He  failed to stop at Hua  Hin bus  station  and then told my Wife "we  don't stop there anymore" so dropped  her off close to Market  Village where she had to get a motorbike to meet  me at the bus  station but she said they do stop there he  was  just too  lazy to stop.

Seats  on this new  bus were like planks of wood  and very  hard. The  bus  eft an hour late as they didnt  have enough passengers to  fill it. She wasnt impressed.......not sure what speeds  he was  doing as  thought now they had gps etc so 90kmh max?

A couple of years ago my Wife was on a minibus to Hua Hin from Surin. He too would not stop at the station, dropped her off across from Market Village so I had to drive round from the station to collect her. I guess it is too much hassle to u turn into the bus station then another u turn out to continue to Pranburi. 

R.I.P. to the young lives so senselessly lost as usual. Why were there 16 passengers in there in the first place. I thought the new government controls did away with overloading, or was that in a parallel universe I only dreamt about.

Given that the entire society is geared around covering them up, they must be pretty hideous under there.

 

 

Try This one.............

An Aussie acquaintance of mine has willed his condo to his two remaining children. He told me once that in order for them to take ownership they must first transfer funds to the value of the condo, effectively "purchasing" it. But then, as they do not live here, they have one year in which to sell it. Seems a bit crazy to me, which is what I told him at the time, but he is adamant that is the procedure.
