Most buffets are from hotels. Use the Eatigo app. Get the food 50% off at certain times.
There were two good buffets for the Cheap Charlies, the evening buffets at the Lex Hotel and the breakfast buffets at the hotel farther down the road on the opposite side, but this is in Pattaya. They never opened again since the Chinese Virus.

I suspect the possibility of mental issues.... he forgot his belongings at the airport, may for the same reasons someone else packed his items before travelling - this may also be why he was 'uncooperative', perhaps he was just struggling...
Either way - good job on security services for identifying and dealing with an unattended piece of luggage...
....BUT, they've overcooked it when stating that "state-of-the-art equipment" was used which identified 'Thai herbs' as an acetone peroxide explosive !!!... Better safe than sorry of course.
A few years ago at LHR I saw an unattended suitcase sitting at the side of a passageway, I got hold of a security man and pointed it out to him, he just said it belonged to someone sitting a few seats in with some other people at the other side of the passageway.
If I had a suitcase anywhere I would want it sitting beside me.

You think you got problems ....
Today, my Thai lady went to the 20b shop on the Naklua Road (removing her shoes on entry, as per the sign on the door)...
When she got out - someone had stolen them ....
I will never take my shoes off to enter an ordinary shop no matter what signs are on the door. I usually wear ordinary sandals so it means that I have to sit on the sidewalk to take them off and again to put them back on. If there was a seat to sit on then yes, I would.

Hi All . I would like to know if any of you guys have used the Temu online shopping app? if so what was your experience (good/bad or indifferent) of their service . speed of delivery after service etc ....I usually use Lazada/Shopee .. but it's always handy to have another choice as a back up 😉
Cheer in advance 🙂
I have been using Temu quite a bit recently, though not on the app, on my desktop, but they have put a stop to that now, they would not let me make payment until I could do some sort of quiz that I cannot complete.
i am finished with them now and still waiting for Items ordered about a month ago. Another thing, don't buy anything from them with a zip on it, the quality is awful.

Fuddy duddies, boring b’stards and teetotallers trying to stop people having fun as usual. If you don’t want to drink, don’t do it. Just move on and set your boring thing up away from everyone else. Same with the whiny farangs that live here and moan about having water thrown on them. Just quietly disappear at that time. Nobody cares. Just stop trying to ruin it for the normal folk.
So throwing buckets of water over people not participating and going about their business
is normal????

That pretty much sums up how the majority of Thai people feel about laws, rules, and regulations.
If I don't agree with anyone's rules and regulations I will break them if I can find a way around it.

So you've never seen a video online or read a news story where a Thai was aggressive and confrontational?
I am referring to personal experience, you will get aggressive and confrontational people in any country. I do not and never have drunk alcohol and have always just minded my own business, though as I pointed out in a previous post, I will never allow queue jumping in front of me.

He means with a foreigner. When Thai people do it, it's ok and normal. When foreign people do it, it shows how bad foreign people are. (That's just how some people view this place. Thai = good, foreigner = bad.)
In 20 years of living in Thailand, including lots of time in Bangkok and Pattaya, no Thai has ever provoked or threatened me. In saying that lots of them have tried to jump queues in front of me, both male and female and I approached them in a normal way, told them and pointed to the back of the queue, and every time bar none they have done so.
Apart from their road behaviour, I have found the average Thai to be decent, honest and non confrontational.

Where the heck are the much vaunted Pattaya Police? Protectors of tourists 100 per cent? Near entrance to Walking Street, not some back alley. Maybe they were off taking group photo?
There used to be a few tourist police around that area. I have read about a few skirmishes there lately but never a mention of tourist police. Where are they now?

Prince William? Harry Styles?
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have both grown beards for an upcoming film. Does that make them less handsome.
I personally had one in the 70s and early 80s but still pulled plenty of birds! 555
Yes, I get you. But round about that time and even up till the late nineties when I was in my prime I never remember any girls who liked men with facial hair. Different today obviously.

That is exactly what I am saying.
I understand getting these saddo emo's as facial hair is so fashionable just now. I remember when I was a young guy, short hair was fashionable on girls. (lezzie style. Sheena Easton) I did not have so much a choice then as I always preferred girls with long hair.

Reporting a missing child of 11 years or under is a high priority. Reporting a missing 26 year old baby adult is not. What a waste of resources. Looking at his appearance, he coulld go far with his good looks but instead likes to play the family issues victim.
Good looks???? Hasn't he got facial hair?

Could have been a heart attack, ++.......... these no brainers should be arrested
This is actually a good post, though the police have now confirmed he was well over the limit. If it had been a heart attack would the crowd not have noticed him just lying in his seat.

UPDATE
Drunk Driver Who Ploughed into Songkran Revellers Granted BailPicture courtesy of Matichon.
A 44-year-old man who drove his pickup truck into a crowd celebrating Songkran, Thailand’s New Year water festival, has been granted bail, police confirmed on 15 April. The incident, which occurred in the Klong Udom village area of Thung Praya subdistrict, Sanam Chai Khet district, left multiple people injured, including one in serious condition.
The driver, identified as Mr. Suraphon from Khao Mai Kaew in Kabin Buri district, Prachinburi province, was reportedly intoxicated at the time. Police said he was arrested at the scene by officers from Wangkhu Police Station and was later charged with two offences: driving under the influence and reckless driving causing serious injury.
According to Pol. Col. Kriengkrai Boonsorn, Provincial Police Chief of Chachoengsao, the suspect had no prior criminal record. Pol. Col. Phuwadon Phisutthinaraset, Superintendent of Wangkhu Police Station, added that Mr. Suraphon applied for bail using a surety based on his position as a subdistrict headman, with an asset value of 200,000 baht or a cash bond of 100,000 baht. The court approved the bail request, citing the defendant’s legal right to apply.
Witnesses reported the driver appeared confused and ignored calls from local residents to exit his vehicle following the crash. The incident, which took place on a narrow six-metre-wide village road, occurred amid heavy rain and poor driving conditions. The road was filled with people enjoying Songkran festivities at the time.
The suspect, who has worked at a Japanese-owned factory in the 304 Industrial Estate for 18 years, is said to have only minor injuries. Breathalyser results showed an alcohol level well above the legal limit.
The vehicle sustained minor damage to the front bonnet, consistent with striking pedestrians. Investigations revealed that Mr. Suraphon had earlier been participating in the water celebrations before attempting to drive home.
As of the afternoon of 15 April, all but one of the injured individuals had been discharged from hospital. One person remains under medical care at Sanam Chai Khet Hospital. Doctors are continuing to monitor the patient’s condition to determine the severity of the injuries.
Local authorities continue to investigate the incident. The case has drawn widespread attention as communities across Thailand seek to balance festive traditions with public safety.

Who is going to pay the hospital costs of all these injured people? The drunken scumbag who caused it? Why do I doubt that in this country?

There you go, as I said, drunk as a skunk and old enough to know much better.
He was driving drunk and then bailed?? Really?? After injuring all these people?? That is just plain ridiculous. Though not really surprising in this Banana Republic of Thailand.

Yeah, that is dangerous. However, after my experience of more than 26 years in Thailand, You just have to wave with your hand and almost all people respect and do not throw water on you.
I agree with that where Thai people are concerned but not these dangerous drunken water throwing farangs particularly in Pattaya, especially assaulting motorbike riders with these water guns and throwing water from pails at them.

What I meant was you are doing two journeys, one from Bangkok to Dubai and one from Dubai to the UK which means that you are paying for two seats where if you were flying direct from Bangkok to the UK you would pay about the same for one seat as two.
You with the confused emo, you are not very good at arithmetic, are you?

I did not know that, but they will notify me about fares as they change. I am going to Scotland next May. I do not want to use KLM as they were a disaster last time and had dreadful food.
Looks like I wll be going with Emirates but I cannot see where you can book seats there.

I detest drunk anybody when in public. They are a danger to everyone else as well as themselves and should be automatically put in jail.
