He needs to be made an example of otherwise everyone could do it and then claim they were just joking. Planes would be grounded, flights disrupted and cancelled. No business could operate under these conditions. Nip the stupidity in the bud now so I don’t have to spend more time at the airport than I need to in the future. There are some things that you don’t say at the airport or on a plane. “Bomb” is at the top of the list.

Cheap as chips if you buy from the local markets. Supermarkets can be a bit expensive if you’re not one who enjoys the local fare.

I had an uncontrollable chuckle when I read the headline to this article. What planet are these people on? It is what it is and what it has been for decades. Someone has their head up their @rse. There is not a single person on this planet who gives a crap about Pattaya’s image. It caters to a niche market and Thailand should man up and rake in the benefits. Their focus should be on cleaning out the the more seedy aspects and promoting it as a safe sex destination. They are sitting on a gold mine and all they need to do is manage it properly.

After he slips out of the country he’s gonna be following the F1 race calendar around the world for the rest of his life. A proven safe haven. Watch this space.

Not in my lifetime

Or to the airport to follow the F1 racing calendar for many years.

With bated breath I suspect.

But not blind to it.

I’m sure this type of underhanded distribution of university exam tests could be found in every country in the world so I’m not at all surprised. The other thing that doesn’t surprise me is the involvement of a General. It’s how you get to be a General in this country.

Finally some good news. Commiserations Vietnam.

He made his choices believing he was entitled and above the law. Guilty as charged.

X 3 Ridiculously expensive if you are on minimum wage with a couple of kids. School should not be a financial burden on parents

He doesn’t have a peaceful bone in his body. His whole being is to forge vile divisiveness and blatant lies to manipulate his audience. There is no peace in this approach. He is clearly a man to himself and his best interests.

He’s setting Powell up as the scapegoat for when his dubious tariff sojourn and voter support crumbles. By then, he and his cronies will have milked the turmoil for billions of dollars to line their own pockets and Powell will be dressed up and hung out to all the victims as the cause of their woes. Powell is going to be Trump and Co’s smokescreen to cover up their unadulterated financial debauchery of the US economy for their own gain.

I prefer 50kph

This has 500 baht written all over it.

Backpacking rules. I’ve enjoyed it for almost 50 years now and still look forward to the experiences it offers. Only two things I insist on now that I’m a bit older is hot water and internet access.

Darwin awards all round. I wonder if anything will be learnt from this. Maybe next year a discussion about probability and consequences will precede any rocket launches in a hot dry rice field.

Checkpoints are as effective as an ice cube in hell in reducing road deaths. They slow down the traffic adding to people’s impatience in getting from A to B which then adds to the problem. A very lazy and ineffective way to manage the traffic problems.

I recall a flight from Sydney to Mumbai with Qantas in 2004. The toilets were disgustingly filthy with used toilet paper strewn all over the place in the toilet and out into the cabin. Poor cleaners..

A gold medal performance for sure.

He wasn’t as thunk as you drink he was.

They’d make decent dartboards

I concur. If one can not take on board, what amounts to constructive criticism, then progress is stifled.

I, personally, agree with the Thai real estate policy. If they opened up for foreigners to buy into their real estate market prices would soar and almost every Thai person would be locked out of the market unable to compete with foreign investors. It would be an absolute sh!t show and they would be slaves within their own country.
