Check Lasada is where I'd start.

Plastic chips in 4 colors: 48 thb/69 chips.

How many friggin' chips did they have??  That's like ~2.8 million chips.   /s

...lost control due to heavy rain and slippery conditions

No, lost control due to unsafe driving for those conditions.

How do they place a baht value on plastic chips?

following reports of their persistent harassment of locals. Ekapop threatened that if the police fail to manage the situation, they should relocate to a crime-free area.

Who should relocate? The locals or the gang? And is that the threat??

Doesn't make sense either way.

Senior police briefed the media on Friday, saying they were open-minded but confident of apprehending the local official’s killer.

WTH does that mean??  Maybe just a bad translation along the line?

I got off a crowded BTS some 10-12 years ago. I had been standing in the space just to the side of the door. There was an Indian/Pakistani-looking guy standing uncomfortably close to me, with his back to the door. 

I exited and, the next time I used my wallet, noticed a slit in the leather. I checked my pants and the pocket was slit in the same location, obviously done with a razor-sharp blade. Fortunately, I didn't lose anything.

Still using the same wallet!

So, is the thc oil for vaping easy to find? Asking for a friend.

Tell your friend you don't need oil to vape.

Isn't most of the (s)crap in that picture the remains of a multi-million baht floating dock that was never completed?

The "standard" level is <12.5ug/m3 over 24 hours. 35ug/m3 over 1 day is considered POOR AQ

17 different countries each buy 50% of Thailand's available carbon credits!  :)

This is the buried lead. Nice story to account for the animals that were stol... errr, eaten.

I too have wondered what happens to people needing some immigration service where they need a TM-30 Receipt but their hotel (or, more often, a landlord) refuses to do one.  I'd guess that telling an Immigration Officer that would get somebody nowhere.  I've read many posts over the years where this has happened but don't recall any such poster following up and subsequently explaining what happened or how the problem was resolved.  

Make sure that the issuance of TM30, owner ID, tax docs, Tabien Baan, whatever is part of the contract
