  1. Looking good, do you deliver? Try them with a nice bit of Wensleydale. Trust me, the rich fruit goes really well with the slightly milky sour taste - you can use Lancashire or Cheshire cheese as well.
  2. For 'property' I hope you meant responsibility? Following your logic the 13 year old (child) mother and her child both become the property/responsibility of a man if the marriage is allowed. Nope, still not seeing how marriage at 13, or even 15 as has been allowed, protects any child.
  3. I'm not really sure how a law, IF used, allowing Judges to give permission to marry at 13 actually protects the child.
  4. Siam Expat Food shop on Siam Country Club road is probably closer to your location near the Dolphin. Last time I was there I saw Warburtons on sale.
  5. Ubonjoe has given accurate info on here. From personal experience I have had no problems using the card in any of the APEC countries I have travelled to and have used fast track immigration in all of them. In Thailand I have found it to be very useful with no problems raised or given by Immigration on entry or exit. The only time I have been given less than 90 days on arrival without any other visa was when the guy applied the wrong stamp. I returned, asked politely and he rectified his error with a smile. It is difficult to say what is happening in the poster's case as he does not say which country issued the card or what processes he went through. Mine was issued by an APEC economy but the approval process can take up to 4 months as the issuing Immigration Dept gets pre approved clearance for visa free entry in each of the participating economies. This takes time for each one. I do know that on arrival in USA an APEC card allows the holder to use a special channel to speed up entry to the country. I would suggest that the poster looks at the back of his card to check which countries it is valid for travel to; I think mine covers all but USA and CAN are not covered. Hope this helps.
  6. How can you say 'unsolicited advice' when you posted on a public forum looking for advice?
  7. Or maybe he is doing it for people he knows who want to buy cheap and redevelop? Although I doubt that Evergrande are in a buying mood.
  8. Wait for the bars to reopen?
  9. They have probably already decided who the buyers will be!
  10. You make some very good points and I also cannot see the logic. Bankrupt a certain line of business or some powerful business groups and then somebody else takes over? Just theorising!
  11. ????, as many businesses will be forced into bankruptcy I wonder if lots of leases and land are starting to become available for 'other businessmen' to snap up and then redevelop?
  12. Safes are given ratings dependent on resistance to a torch or tool attack to open them. These ratings are guaranteed by an accredited and internationally recognised agency. Most reputable safes will have details given with them to show how long they will provide protection against burglars or fire, if they don't have this certification don't buy them. It all depends on how much time you can afford to pay for.
  13. Quite a ludicrous and shallow suggestion. Arrange a Lalisa concert because her popularity with the masses is very high; hoping that the masses then become happier with the people who arranged it for them. Also thinking that pictures taken of her and the arrangers will make people think she supports them. At the same time arrange a Bocelli concert, because that's what the upper echelons would like to see. I would also be interested to see the attendance figures for other New Year concerts and if it includes hordes of people who actually travel from other countries to attend. How many of those would be deterred by travel and socialising restrictions that may be in place?
  14. I found the breakfast at the Yorkshire Inn on Soi Sansabai to be very good.
  15. He'd just finished. Couldn't anyone smell the cut grass............or some other agricultural aroma?
  16. You might find it difficult to get an answer based on those criteria. People have had enough trouble trying to travel alone in the last couple of years; I'd be surprised if many had brought in a pet to quarantine with them. But I wish you the best of luck.
  17. Never too early and never too late! Any person, either non Chinese or Chinese, is still subject to 21 days quarantine on entry/return to China from here or anywhere else. Non Chinese cannot even enter China unless they are of specific and very small groups. China doesn't even allow entry to HK residents; and we are all told that is an inalienable part of China never to secede. I was referring to the opening of Thailand to visitors from China, who would currently be unable to go home. Pass me a beer!????
  18. To the best of my knowledge China is still closed to entry by non-Chinese and mandates a 21 day quarantine for all upon entry. How will Chinese tourists return home? China is unlikely to open up until after the Beijing Winter Olympics have finished in late February; there is too much face to be lost in having to cancel/postpone.
  19. It's actually a very effective money laundering scheme. Acquire ill gotten gains from drug trafficking or corruption. Send money to Malaysia to buy/steal high end cars. Pay a mule to bring them back. Know where the car will be and make the arrest. Mule gets minor fine for cooperating with police and released to do again. Car seized and commission earned - CLEAN money. Use clean money to buy car at govt auction. Sell for big profit - more CLEAN money. Repeat. Trans national organised crime as defined by Interpol
  20. No, the case is about the murder AND what other crimes have been committed!
