Like most tests/exams in Thailand, nobody fails!

I was granted PR with the reason of supporting Thai wife and children. One of the main requirements was three years uninterrupted tax returns. The remaining requirements included a DNA test and a basic interview in Thai.

The helicopter landed safely on the pitch at Leicester City. To sabotage the take-off would entail walking on to the pitch and doing the sabotage there, which is pretty unlikely given the number of cameras in a football stadium. Here is the AAIB's final report. It's a chunky 224 pages long: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64f73d429ee0f2000fb7bf1f/AAR_1-2023_G-VSKP_Final_Vol_1.pdf The AAIB also published two special reports to provide preliminary information.

Go to a car key shop. They fit small batteries to car keys and may able to fit such a battery to your gadget. I buy my small batteries (2016, 2025, 2032 etc from Mr DIY or Lazada. Lazada is pretty cheap...7/11 is much more expensive.

In the first nine months of 2025 foreign arrivals in Thailand were down about 7% on 2024. Airlines such as Thai AirAsia have been reducing flights to China as Chinese arrivals to Thailand in 2025 are down due to safety and scam concerns, increased competition and lower spending. In 2019, there were about 11mn visitors from China. This year, the total will be less than 5mn.

In 2010, I was sick of reinstalling, hanging, "not responding", Ctrl+Alt+Deltete, etc, etc, I changed to a Mac, as did my two colleagues. We should have done it much earlier. We saved so much time actually doing work rather than fixing PC issues.

I have used this for years and it has worked well.

Every now and again we get these awful stories of children drowning in their local lake. The kids (who can't swim) ask a relative if they can go swimming. The relative says yes, the kids go swimming and drown. And then there is shock, horror and despair. This story gets repeated all the time. Why would you let children play at a lake when they can't swim? There are many reasons for this including lack of parental supervision, fatalism, poor education.

Just ask the bondholders and shareholders of their opinion on THAI. In the real world, the airline would have been wound up years ago. God knows how much public money has been wasted on this dinosaur.

With a monopoly of duty free operations in various Thai airports, it's amazing how King power can't make money.

Used go there every Friday night in the 90's. Just the best nights out followed by Elvis and Tom Jones at Radio City.

I bicycle every day and have a taser attached to my handlebars. If a dog starts to get aggressive, I deploy the taser which emits a cracking sound between the 2 electrodes. The dogs are startled by the noise and run away.
