Did the cops take the TV in for questioning?

It's a remote possibility Emster23; death by 'remote battery'.

However writing this, death by Sophon is probably the most likely cause - unfortunately.

Rest in peace therefore Uncle Chalerm and now you're hopefully in a much better place, where you'll never have to listen to Howard Miller or "Li'l Ash in Bangkok's" voices ever again.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives!.....like a soap opera!

Blimey! An hourglass that could accommodate 400K m³ - that I would love to see PatOngo krub. And of course if that was the case, I can now see how this project might indeed cost ฿483-million.

Ironically this huge hourglass thingey idea of yours PatOngo could indeed be Pattaya's salvation. As there are plenty of people that visit Cawker City, in Kansas each year - just to look at and admire; the world's largest ball of twine!

Who cares about the color of the sand. I am sure tourist won't.  Hey the sand is the wrong color.

Big f...deal. Sounds like a make work project.

 

I like and respect your "make work", can do attitude Beats56. Kudos to you krub.

Well; IMHO tracker1 "democracy" has always been somewhat overrated.

What the world has becoming to? that a call girl, who got amply compensated for a quickie, now turn around with greed in her eyes asking for more, and

want to question the president, i mean, dose this woman has a shame somewhere in her street walking soul or is it all about the money?....

 

Indeed ezzra krub! Thank you so much!!

And just by some monumentally small chance that Ms Stormy Daniels a.k.a. Ms Stephanie Clifford is reading this - "Yes chucky egg; your ass does look too big"!

Whereas denigration don is a paragon of virtue?

Sure. I do respect your point Expatthailover, thank you krub; however, he was voted into high office by the United States' electorate and so surely - that fact alone should speak volumes.

Too easy, what's the problem? 

I'm not too sure that this is anykind of solution Ivr181. In mythology Narcissus adopted this approach you see - with disasterous effects I seem to recall

So; that's a nice look at 'the swings'. I wonder though what's on the 'roundabout'?

Probably got a turd caught in his throat. I lived in Thailand for 30+ years and only fell into Pattaya water once returning from a fishing trip, I went home right away and had a very long hot shower. Can't believe people actually swim in that sewage???

I agree! I work right on Dongtan Beach taipan1949 and I'm just lost for words and feel embarrassed sometimes that Pattaya City Council is blind to the fact how filthy the water actually is there. Sometimes there's a kind of 'film' substance on the surface too and then, of course, you get bloomin' blooms of jellyfish all the time.

I love the sand on Koh Samet. I wonder how much it would cost to dredge 400K m³ of that grade of sand? It's fantastic!

Also; a friend of mine passing through Jomtien right now from a trip to New Zealand and Australia before returning to Blighty showed me a video of Manly Beach in Sydney. What a lovely beach that is! So much more expanse and talcum powder like sand similar to Koh Samet; oh and so clean too.

It would have been nice had Pattaya City Council been able to improve the sand quality of Jomtien and Dongtan beaches during their recent refurbishments as even though I work right on Dongtan Beach, I really don't like walking on the sand there because it feels course; almost sticky and most definitely not powdery fresh like - Koh Samet. 

My question to the cowardly police department named and shamed below:

If you couldn't catch up with him, how do you know he was a Russian?

Wow. Such in-depth questioning. This is almost worthy of "Ironside" because ironically; the very same motorcyclist; identified as "Russian" got cut into two pieces as he sped along Jomtiensaisong; late and drunk about two; three weeks later. Because he died at the scene, unlike "Ironside"; who was played by Raymond Burr if memory serves me right - he diddn'[t need the wheelchair. And as an extra li''le secret champers krub - I'll throw in just for you that, Raymond Burr didn't actually need the wheelchair either because of course, he was acting.

Simplisitic explanations are always the best when it comes to contract law. Except when they're not, which is virtually always.

Agreed. Thank you for pointing that out ilostmypassword. FWIW I personally place a lot of faith in "simplistic explanations".  Occam's razor is one principle that comes to mind. I would still place my chips on President Trump's side of the table because I despise vermin that try to weasel out of their obligations. Again thank you though.

A hundred years from now many Thai ladies will look back nostalgically to the tiny cut off jeans so popular in Thailands these days.

Writing this though Denim, I wonder if there are any Thai ladies one could convince today; in 2561 - that "period costumes" originated in Transylvania - a hundred years ago?

"The fact that a sitting president is pursuing over $20 million in bogus 'damages' against a private citizen, who is only trying to tell the public what really happened, is truly remarkable," Avenatti said.

Well, who would want to be truly unremarkable like you Mr Michael Avenatti? You two-bit ambulance chaser.

The law is the law. The 'lady' signed a "non-disclosure agreement". She got greedy. Reneged on said "non-disclosure agreement". This ain't rocket science! And so that's what really happened.

Thank you Rooster.

Sir Ken Dodd's passing greatly saddened me but to lose Stephen Hawking too brought tears to my eyes.

Two great personalities and if I may paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson; gentlemen who most certainly succeeded in leaving us with a better world.

I'll bet not one person who currently goes to 7-11 will stop going because of this.

Hang on. This is a trick question. Betting is illegal isn't it? Nice try Family Mart!

I was actually hit by a Russian riding his motorcycle through a red light on Thap Phraya Road's Zebra crossing by the Police Helmet/Chair on the junction with Thepprasit Road.

I am so sorry for the Russian gentleman who was killed outside the Ambassador. If I would have caught up with that Russian motorcyclist who hit me, I would have marmalized him. Terrible the disregard for the laws of the road here!
