Yes.

Lived there 20 years.

So which bars were throwing water ?

This Songkran is the same as all the other Songkran's.

 

It is simply a way of making money, wasting billions of litres of water down the drain and bears no resemblance to the real Songkran.

 

It appeals to stupid people, I know, I was one years ago in Bangkok and my early days in rural Thailand, and to children. I don't mind the children playing as it is fun for them.

What money? Every small business I know has shut up shop and fled ??

I never took part in the water splash games, but I am happy when other people are happy so Songkran atmosphere make me happy. I am also happy when I see little kids up on pickup truck or in the sidewalk throwing water to casual people.

 

We should relax our nerves and understand happiness.

My first day in Jomtien in 2005 was Sonkran .I walked the length of the beach to Soi Chayaprek not  seeing  a pistol. Did I dream this ??

Strangly not the first time ,T Cullen Davies the Dallas 1970'S millionaire dressed in women's clothes and shot his wife+ lover.Aquited after many trials .Can't quite get my head around the US justice system !

I wonder what kind of employment awaits him back in Swiss ? Elephant herder doesn't sound right somehow ?

In fact, I remember one in that area who was with several children. The baby she was holding was never the same and someone told me that she rented it to beg on the street.

I found it useful to follow Thai ladies ,if they give -usually a coin ,then I may give .If they don't don't!

This is a surprise.  You-know-who is back in LOS and he really really does not like this topic.  Shortly after it, as he headed to an ASEAN meeting, he said "if there is any mention of Tak Bai I'm walking out."

He explained it away as the casualties were caused by bullets that were fired into the sky then fell back to Earth.

 

You mean like a wedding ?Unbelievable!

Me, on the other hand, Im perfectly willing to reveal that I spoke to Somchai Wohappenstancemeetingya, a tuk tukl driver originally from Mooban 14 in Sa Keo, who once picked up Uncle Tus driver, who told him he heard.....

Oh  the law is so very complicated in Thailand . I am just glad my wife keeps that  gun under her pillow !

(only joking ! )

Sounds to me another case of search for the guilty followed by punishment of the innocent !

Little bit far from Jomtien but Mr Sakda is very good and very fair pricing. A proper mechanic and also speaks some English if you are not proficient in Thai.

Ok thanks for that HauptmannUK

Can anyone update whether there is a good car repair garage in the Soi Chauapreuk area or Jomtien?

Have a brake problem ( binding ) on my old Toyota

Strange that you would suggest otherwise.
 

Well its probably something to do with the fact that I drove past it past week !

This war has a counterpart on the West Bank with settler terrorism, and the struggle for Palestinian freedom is becoming universal as demonstrations are happening everywhere, even in countries like Germany that try to suppress anti-Israel speech.

You mean the people who caused the problem in the first place  placnx?

Israel does not intentionally  target children, or much of the other stuff carried out by Hamas on this attack.

War is never pretty, nor nice. You conflate a terrorist attack with a military one.

 

You forgot about the journalists  March

Are they actually "Clubs" with paid up membership or just fronts for whorehouses?

Has anyone ever  paid real  money  to get into a "  club  " in Pattaya or Bangkok ?
