I'm going to Bangkok at the weekend, for some medical check ups, and will be staying near the Bumrungrad Hospital. Are there any shops nearby selling football shirts ?

Sunderland play the Boro, and MCOT show Preston v Ipswich ?
What's that about ?

The TV shows that spend a couple of minutes telling us what happened before the adverts were on. What sort of morons do they think we are, that can't remember something for a few minutes ?
It's really annoying.

As a north easterner, and Boro fan, it makes me very sad to see Sunderland in such a bad state, as the link posted below. I hope that they will be able to sort out their problems in the near future, and return to some of their former glory.
The north east's influence on the English game is waning, which is an extremely sad state of affairs, when one considers all of the football greats that have come from the area. North East football needs a clutch of big clubs, especially since both Darlington and Hartlepool have both fallen out of the League. I'd like to wish the Black Cats every success in finding a new owner, who can turn things around.

The thing that disappointed me was the total lack of control of simple passes, throughout the whole team, even when playing across the back,  which seemed to be for most of the game.  It was no surprise to see Kouassi taken off at half time, he was lucky to stay on the field that long, he was awful.

According to the link (below), the British Embassy is getting involved with driving licences, issued to British citizens in Thailand.

I expect that this will shortly involve a trip to the Embassy, for
a) some idiotic form or another, and
to enable applicants to pay a fee to the Embassy for something they didn't need in the first place.

Perhaps I'm being cynical here, but I've never found the Embassy to be of any use, whatsoever.

The last time I renewed my licence here, I watched a video with English subtitles, as part of the renewal. I don't see any need for the Embassy to stick their oars in.

Firmino goes down easily ? Does she have a sister ?

Thanks again for doing this, Wilai. Looks like an early night for me, and up at 3 to watch the Celts !

"Superb consular services" - they are a disgraceful bunch,  whose only aim is to increase revenue from any unfortunate British citizen who has to deal with them.

I know a few Thai guys that are usually too pissed to service their wives on a regular basis.  I'll get this article translated into Thai, and pop round to see the wives.  My calendar still has a few slots vacant, so perhaps I can help the dwindling population; only too pleased to help Thailand's future 4.0 strugglers.

"A few slots vacant' -  a metaphor, if ever I heard one.....

Is your friend aware that 90 day reports can be posted to the appropriate Immigration Office ?
Forms can be downloaded from this site.
 

Even though I have added (among others), "Steven100" to my ignore list, and have ticked all the boxes, posts, messages, etc, I can still read his drivel.
Is there any way to block him completely ?

One of the hardest fought battles of WW2, we lost a lot of men taking Okin

awa.

Bottom line We WON , You LOST, we own that island forever and I would fight for it again if necessary.

 

Not even part of Japan , during the war just another road block to delay the coming defeat.

 

Asian You Lost,  We whipped your ass, get over it.

Read the surrender paper WE OWN YOU!

 

 

How on earth is this post not racist ?
In a war since WWII, the US lost to an Asian country, they whipped YOUR ass.

It's way past time that the civilised world completely ostracised Israel, the "state" that was founded on terrorism.

I've tried searching on the net, but have been unsuccessful. Is there a schedule of Winter Olympic events, to be broadcast on Thai TV, anywhere to be found ?

Thanks in anticipation of replies.

Good news for a lot of people !

Thai Visa is a much better forum, when one can ignore all of the right wingers, who try and dominate every topic, with their ridiculous puritanical views.

Love Trump - finally the USA has got the president it deserves !

Are they taking new "members" ?

I just don't like second hand smoke.  Go ahead and ignore this point, but most non-smokers hate having to suffer second hand smoke.  I've never had an alcoholic force alcohol down my throat, or been held down by junkies that injected me with heroin.  Been bothered countless times by inconsiderate smokers, including pot smokers.  

I don't drink, never have, don't like it or the effect it has on people, where it can turn an ordinary quiet man into someone who wants to fight the world.

Every time I've ever been for a night out, I was pestered to have a drink, over and over, it's ridiculous that people try to get non-drinkers to comply with their views of what is the 'norm' in society.
Alcoholics DO try to get others to drink with them, because they hate to drink alone. We have one in our family, he's a pain at all family functions.
Don't know a lot about marijuana smoking, but it doesn't seem to cause the violence, intoxicated driving, and general <deleted> you, that drinking does.

How do I get my wife to join ? 

Cardiff v Blunderland = a bit of comedy before the serious football begins !  Watching the team from the Stadium of S*ite   is just as much fun as You've Been Framed. 

Followed by the Bonny Boro at 10, a perfect evening's entertainment !

Hope you're feeling better, and thanks for your efforts with these listings, Wilai.

Sadly number 69, seems to be off the menu....

No Boro vs Blunderland ?

What excuse can I give for eating a Pizza tonight ? 

It's the poor child, that I feel sorry for. Sadly in this country, the chances of her receiving any counselling, to help her get over this awful experience, are remote.
