Firstly, I'm fully aware that the British passport office in the UK is going on strike for five weeks starting next month. I already had an appointment booked at the VFS office in CM before that news story broke. So, as they haven't contacted me to cancel my appointment, I'm going turn up and attempt to submit my application anyway. My question is this. Is there a colour photo copying service located at the VFS office in Chiang Mai? According to the requirements listed I need colour photo copies of every page in my old passport. I only have a black and white laser printer/scanner at home and it would be handy to know if I have find somewhere else to get these copies done before I arrive at the VFS office tomorrow afternoon. Thanks in advance,

Don't these people know that there are CCTV and surveillance cameras everywhere now? Particularly exchange booths. Pretty much everything you do when you are out and about is caught on film these days.

An overdose of bodybuilding supplements by the looks of things.

Whoever pays the most bribes?

So where do these drunken mice hang out? I would imagine they like a full bodied Shiraz to go with their cheese.

Yes, I agree. The Thai perception of beauty is certainly very different to mine. Soft, rounded, pretty features are clearly not considered attractive here.

It's raining in Chiang Mai today so the air quality will be fresh and crystal clear from tomorrow....

Around my way, many of the younger females do sometimes wear short shorts but the tops they wear are normally very conservative. Not over tight and definitely no midriff showing.

Fancy that! They are predicting the hot season to be hot! If the rains come early then the hot season will just be warm and wet like it has been in the previous few years.

Did you know that you can pay by bank transfer as well? This doesn't involve any entering any card details and the payments normally go through instantly.

Fish fillets require very little cooking. If you wish to poach it in water then 10 minutes maximum cooking time is all that is needed. Perhaps a tastier way would be the gently fry it in a little butter until it's starting to turn golden. But once again, don't cook it for to long. 5 minutes on one side and then flip it over and turn the heat off under the frying pan. Let the residual heat in the pan finish the cooking.

Only when they are searching for crack...

From the original article... Pattaya police also stated the act hurts the outstanding world class family friendly image of Pattaya and damages tourism so finding the offenders was a top priority. The outstanding world class family image of Pattaya? Well I've learnt some new today because I was always under the impression that Pattaya had a reputation for something other than the above. Or could the police be trying to gloss over the truth?

I'm just happy to be with any lady that will have me. Beggars can't be choosers.

How was this not picked up when the vehicle was registered in her own name? Chassis and engine numbers are both checked at the DLT before the name is officially changed in the log book.

Yes really! Because to not wai back would be rude, ignorant and disrespectful.

Absolutely spot on. People that complain about about this forgot that these people are dealing with potentially hundreds of different customers everyday. It is extremely disrespectful to the staff to not wear a mask in banks, shops and offices etc. When they choose not to wear a mask then that is the time to stop wearing one yourself.

Heartbreaking for all his family and friends. RIP.

Foreigner videoed blocking the traffic! The horror of it!!! Deduct one point from his license now!!!!!

Out of interest, have you tried turning the TV on using the power button located on the actual TV? They can be tricky to find, sometimes you have to feel along the base of the TV to locate it. Try holding the button in for 20 to 30 seconds. You could also try resetting your TV. Unplug it for at least 60 seconds. Then press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds whilst it is unplugged. Then plug it back in and try it again.

Does he think he's in the Thai remake of Reservoir Dogs!

By refusing bail and locking these guys up they have inadvertently set a precedence for similar misdemeanors committed by the RTP. It remains to be seen if these harsher punishments will become the exception or the norm regarding future corruption offences committed by police officers.

Oh what a shame.....

Well, the new system is clearly working......... Pats on the back all round for who ever came up with this new idea. With luck, road fatalities could be down as much as 0.5% this year.
