Graduated from University with a degree in Lottery Vending (555) and can afford a (once) beautiful Toyota car. Silly me, I thought it was only very poor people that sold lottery tickets.

Nice story that the banks will replace the damaged notes for her BUT very bad news that this old lady has over 320,000 in her home at any one time. Half in a tin can for "daily expenses" (the mind boggles with that amount) & half in a wooden cabinet. She is a marked lady for sure.

Martin Ellis, author of 'The Caves of Thailand Volume 2' describes how the cave is prone to flooding in the wet season which usually runs from May to October.

 

"It can only be explored between November and June," Ellis wrote.

In my world June comes after May, so Mr. Ellis, is June a safe time to explore or not?

Another case of a druggie released from Prison to go home a kill wife trying to survive on her own. Fortunate that child not killed along with Mother. OK police, pick up druggie, put back in Prison for sooooo long he will never be remembered.

What article were you reading?

It's nice to have a dream !!!

While I applaud their efforts all over Thailand.......lack of training and professional expertise will result in mishaps such as this.

The Phuket Immigration Office chief Lt Col Kathatorn Kumthiend obviously has his head buried in the sand along with anyone else associated with the Online 90 day reporting system. Brain washed and in utter denial.

 

I have just spent some time on the Cambodian Immigration WEB site = What a breath of fresh air. 21st century as compared with 'apparent' pre internet "Viatel" technology here in Thailand.

 

 

Maybe a silly question but why report in Cambodia if you live in Thailand.......Thai bashing maybe!!!!

Bla Bla Bla.........can she sing?

I wish they could be more clear with their statements. Why not publish a price list and then we know the cost. I smoke Wonder Red and before the new tax they cost 63 to 65 depending on which shop you go to. Now I pay 60 in 7-11 and 70 in other stores

Just this minute talked to my supplier and he tells me increase is 10bht per case of beer.........no need to get our collective knickers in a twist if he is correct 

I was just with my beer supplier and they will only allow 1 case of beer per customer regardless of the fact that they have thousands of cases in stock. Sounds like hoarding to me and huge extra profits for the wholesaler.

The killer for the retail industry is the cost of a licence to sell alcohol increases from 2000B/year to 50,000B/year. Again, the small man is hurt, large retailers will only need to add a few satang to cover this, but Mom and Pop will need to raise prices considerably.

I only paid 1100 for this years licence. Where did you get your 50,000 bht figure from

What a croc of sh*t. Are you guys in or out? Really we won't miss you as much as you think

All due respects to the dead and injured but why is it an attack on Parliament. It is pure & simple an attack on innocent people.

Doesn't even need a comment.......may he be treated with the respect he deserves in prison. 

Beyond belief.........if memory serves me correctly, these girls were from hill tribes. Time for the elders to sharpen up the machetes and take a trip down from the hills. 

On the other hand maybe the bus overtook him and then turned into him. It's happened to me many times. Car and pickup drivers hate to be stuck behind a motorcycle so they overtake and almost immediately  pull into the kerb and stop or make a left turn. 

16 High End Russian Tourists spend 618.75 baht per night EACH.....Total 99,000 baht for the 10 day stay. Hardly qualifies as high end tourists!!! .I wonder if government tax

is included in that figure?

Noor had been struggling financially to help support his family in Myanmar with the government benefits he is paid every two weeks,

There is the problem. Why should the Australian government or any other government pay over more money than is needed to support a family back in the home country.

It just validates the idea that both candidates are a complete joke and that neither of them have any business running for President.

16,000 bht seized and 22 gamblers, wow!!! Big score, 727 bht per person, that's gonna hurt.......not
