Pre Covid, direct flights from Doha, Qatar had begun and Air Asia ran flights to 9 different Thai cities, with a new terminal built to service them. Covid has a lot to answer for.

Pattaya too.

Lots of Filipino hotel and hospital (nurses) workers.

Fugitive?

There has been a Lego exhibition in Central before so it is popular in Thailand. Developers for their projected 2nd Road complex plan to build a Legoland along with a zoo and two Marriott hotels.

The Swiss are not in the European Union.

Looks like 2 x 10s in a game of blackjack to me.

Bang Saen; just up the coast from Sri Racha; has a university and a lot of the night time entertainment there is aimed at students and staffed by many too. The hospital is a teaching hospital.

Then you must be confusing Bangkok prices with those in Pattaya.

You really need to do some homework on rental prices in Pattaya. You are way off beam. Ditto for food and transport. I'm guessing you don't live in Pattaya.

In Jomtien next weekend. Will be a gas with the new one-way system.

My belief is that as more tourists; Chinese especially; return in big numbers more well-to-do Thais will holiday abroad as they did pre- Covid and Pattaya will not be such a draw for them. The less well off will likely go to Bang Saen which is more suited to Thais. The withdrawal of Government incentive schemes for domestic tourism is another major factor.

Chas and Dave. It's all the rage in Issan.

Storm in a D-cup.

Balfour Beatty, outside the nuclear plant site.

Yes C. I did a small piece of work there myself. Osborn and Cameron went cap in hand to China for some funding. EDF (French) will operate the finished plant.

Scottish and Southern Water are owned by an Ontario Teachers Pension fund. Many privatised companies in the utilities and rail sectors are foreign owned. Indians Mittal own much of the UK steel industry. The Chinese are into the ownership of UK wind farms and have a big stake in the new Hinckley B nuclear plant. Buy British.

OK, I hear you.

Closing threads without advising the OP is a bit off. My Bolton thread seems to have been "dissappeared". Oh well.

It is a shame but I don't know how it could be fixed. Copying and pasting off the BBC is not the answer, for me.

His wife ended up in prison.

AN often post these vids in Pattaya News forum.

I own a chain of dope emporiums and live in a very, very high-rise apartment. Looking at maybe downsizing.

Border Police more likely.

He's got a badminton court booked tomorrow.
