I'd bung it on a thick rubber mat. Also, check the transport bolts have been removed from the back of the drum.

Hey, here's a thought; why not crackdown on EVERYBODY that breaks the law, colonel?! Get these people out of office!

Any chance they can get it down to 100%?

Why do these little military boys that try to play leader always get it sooo wrong? You are the terrorist, bro, and that Thailand is erring toward real democracy is more a testament of being normal and right than getting in bed with the West. Please grow up (or hang yourself) and leave the good people of 'Burma' in peace! With a bit of work, your country could then move on, one day to be followed by all the questionable governments in SEA.

There are many like that on this site. Rather than waste energy and brain cells continually trying to set them right, find it is best to save one’s sanity and put them on ignore. Works very well. People that don’t see the cons of the re-influx of hordes of Chinese likely do have an agenda or are benefitting in some way.

Ooh. What products and ('highly technical') resources are these? Bit ironic when the Indian government cannot feed its own people, accepting billions of US, UK and others tax payers' money year in, year out, yet claim to be doing very well. How did covid work out for India with vaccines and oxygen? Believe the West generously helped out And what happens when the Chinese decide to take more Indian land... India will look to friends in the West, that's what. Stop talking tat.

Typical response from a very poor ‘leader’ with an agenda. Get your nose out of China’s ass,ets and you might be considered grown up enough to have them. At the moment, it is too risky that you’d pass on the tech or simply lose one, plus you don’t really need them. To what end?

The difference is that the low quality beer here is THE benchmark and oftentimes is all one can get, lest you sup on an overpriced out-of-date something 'real'. Sugary, homogenised overpriced crap, all of it. It's not about being a beer snob (anything is better in the region), so much as not having to perpetually pay into the coffers of the corrupt few, along with being ripped on tax. A beer snob is the hey-ho-pip-n-dandy type suppin on nothing but the finest Belgian... compare that with lovers of the Thai BIG three wife-beater-wearing beauts. ???? When a country as relatively rich and creative as Thailand cannot produce ONE interesting beer to rival pauper Laos, you know something is horribly amiss. I mean, F-a-doodle-do, it's enough to make a mother eat her young! Sincerely wish him all the best and these guys rip into this across-the-board corruption, forcing all the rich dinosaurs onto the streets, starting with the brewers. Yes please!

Yes, enough already! People can run off and get umpteen boosters and wear their masks till the end of time; up to them. Just don’t expect that carry-on of others.

Yuck. Bring back covid!

Indeed. Those shysters were obviously pretty convincing, plus Thais can be hopeless when put on the spot. James Wattana is a decent bloke, highly unlikely to be involved in such a scenario. Perhaps he just freaked and wanted the fictitious story unfolding to all go away despite having nothing to do with it. Also unlikely he's down to 8k... in that account maybe but the guy is worth millions ($, £) and will have accounts in the UK etc.

What laws are these? Don’t pass it on because the world will know we already copied it.

More likely a case of alcohol-driven loss of face… the algorithm and equally inclined folks love reefer madness tat though ???? Btw, could t get on with pattayanews site. So impossibly full of ads even an iPhone can’t handle it ????

I’m with the general consensus; hope it doesn’t affect service. Always used them where possible. Good service and usually good times. Not to be typical, but the stewardesses tend to be pretty hot, too!

Inter-province? Think they stopped requiring that a while back (as long as one returns to same address). Having said that, Hat Yai made me do one last year after they told me I had visited Bangkok a few weeks before. Bizarre!

Google is your friend. ???? They still there then? Has always been the case but this current generation seems especially vocal. Pai itself is still nice though. Lamphun also ok. Even CM was quaint back in the day. Songkhla old town alright to look at but quickly gets gridlocked with Chinese/Malay visitors taking pictures of random things like brick walls and manhole covers. Hua Hin still pleasant to stroll around when few tourists. Use to enjoy Sukothai but haven't been for years; Mae Hong Son too.

Even if you crossed out million I wouldn't bank on it. 20M years, any and all of the above.

Thought that in 2014 when they stole the country. It could’ve kicked off massively, and many times since, but never did. If the army did their thing again (they won’t give in easily), there would likely be some pushback, but Thais are generally apathetic and most would sadly take it.

Say what you really mean, Mike ????

Just go visit instead of yapping about it.???? I'd move there... but probably a bit outside the tourist haunts like the Algarve. Great climate (number one), tasty food, cheap wine & port + nice people. Cheap property away from the main centres too.

Steven, if your TV avatar is a selfie, I can see why they didn't like you as a customer.

Indeed. Banks here have always been real greedy. Horrible fat institutions. I wouldn’t use them if a visa didn’t depend on it, but what can you do? They’ve kinda got you by the taters.

Are you dehydrated? Hottest time of the year (esp when coupled with aircon) and dehydration plays havoc, esp to those susceptible. Thai beer seems to be especially depressive. Hydration, exercise, reading, out and about. I'd look at the basics first.

Bad idea. If they get called up and skip it, or go awol, it’ll eventually catch up with them. Dunno about gaol and fines, but there can be issues in getting a job, buying land etc.

Depends where you are; Sukhumvit or Silom no, but you can get a tidy one-bed furnished place in a fairly new development (with pool, gym etc) in a good location in Chiang Mai for 10-12k.
