Five Alleged Illegal Drug Users Arrested at Abandoned Hotel in Jomtien
thenewgoo replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
A squatter with a safety vest, who is an ACDC fan, and probably pretty good with a hoola-hoop. -
Had a similar experience to those other posts. Air Asia has no customer service effectively - and the real people hiding behind their robots are equally useless. They don't care.

Tourism Concerns Spark Plea for Alcohol Sales Law Change
thenewgoo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The only rationale of the 2 - 5pm ban seems to be kids are buying it during these times. Never really understood that - they can just wait to go out at 5pm like the rest of us. If shopkeepers/7-11 staff etc had the confrontation skills to request ID from minors and refuse sales appropriately, and, if penalties were applied to those selling it to minors - this ban wouldn't be required. This is the culture that exists in the west, but is not something culturally easy for Thais so it seems. Hence these peculiar rules apply. -
Thai woman stabs herself, spins murder tale to evade debt payments

I wonder how much the debt is? How much is it worth stabbing yourself in the stomach for? -
Northern Thailand Sees Major Decrease in Forest Fires

Amazing what rain can do. -
Yep, left me and my young family stranded in KL and basically couldn't give a f##! Was my go-to airlines, now a very very last option.

German documentary reignites sex tourism concerns for Thailand’s Pattaya
thenewgoo replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Maybe there will be direct flights from Germany to Pattaya soon - just to uptake the demand. -
TAT forecasts surge of Chinese tourists into Thailand via land in 2024

God help us, don't tell me they they are bringing their cars. -
Chiang Mai Tourism Seeks Action Against Seasonal Smog
thenewgoo replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
The AQI is starting to creep up as farmers start burning off their rice stubs and the rain that clears the air has ceased. AQI up to 141 already in some parts. At least mushroom season is months away and the forest fires haven't been lit yet. -
Sorry, can't answer your question but probably a new one would be a good idea. I wasn't asked for anything at all as it turned out.

American Tourist Arrested for Stabbing Incident in Chiang Mai
thenewgoo replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Doesn't seem an 'expedited intervention' unless I'm missing something. I'm hearing reports one of his random victims has now passed away. Lock the creep up forever!- 147 replies

Chiang Mai teens seen vaping, sniffing glue in public in downtown
thenewgoo replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
There are restrictions. Age (20) & pregnant women from memory. The restrictions may be just as effective stopping kids buying weed as it is with alcohol and cigarettes. The price of weed in these shops is the biggest restriction. -
Chiang Mai teens seen vaping, sniffing glue in public in downtown
thenewgoo replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
Yes, there was no mention of weed at all. Lots of anti-weeders jumping on a soap box. The glue sniffing is what should standing out as a concern more than anything. -

thenewgoo replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
Yes, seems a ban on glue, alcohol, cigarette packs, e-cigarettes, provocative dances, school children, onlookers, playing in water and gathering near the old guard post is in order. If they had only smoked a joint - none of this would have happened. -
I am taking my son (9) to Australia for a 3 week holiday but leaving Mum in Thailand. I have heard that there is some requirement - a letter from Mum - that needs to be presented at departure. Is this a myth? Does anybody have any experience with this situation?

Passport Requirements to Australia
thenewgoo replied to lelapin's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
My wife had a similar timeframe on our trip - we just decided to renew it - it took about 4 days and her new passport was in our letterbox. -
Is this because lots of tourists were complaining about sand being walked into their hotel rooms?
