I hate to be picky in such a tragic story but:- "A lagoon is a shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by a narrow landform, such as reefs, barrier islands, barrier peninsulas, or isthmuses. Lagoons are commonly divided into coastal lagoons and atoll lagoons. They have also been identified as occurring on mixed-sand and gravel coastlines. Wikipedia" Ban Bueng is miles inland and across the Chonburi mountains from the sea. This was a pond, not a lagoon.

Why are you wasting my time and bandwidth with this puerile (rap?

I don't believe that "Thailand", "design", and "roads" can co-exist in the same sentence.

Absolutely!

It IS my f0041ng useless embassy!

Don't waste your money. You will be locked in forever to Apples monopolistic policies. A mid to top end Android will, these days, do everything an iPad can do, and more, for a lot less outlay and on-costs. I have a Huawei pad, which is superb, and an iPad mini, which is only ok. Apple service is slow and expensive (batteries, etc.,), Huawei, in Pattaya at least, is quick and cheap.

I agree with you. Our 30-ish year old townhouse was "renovated" a couple of years before we moved in ten years ago. On each floor we have a modern, quite posh Nahm toilet. The ground floor "hong nam" had been becoming increasingly smelly, and the grout around the base of the toilet was cracking and discoulored. Eventually I decided to remove the bowl and see what was going on, suspecting the lack of any seal to the sewage pipe. The grout was diamond hard and stuck fast to both the bowl and the floor tiles - it was a two-day nightmare to separate them without cracking anything. Sure enough, under the bowl I found a ragged hole in the tiles, a blue pipe 1" short of the surface, no seals at all, and accumulations of you know what. To make matters worse, the hole and pipe did not even line up with the toilet bowl outlet, and there were no screws in the holes to secure the base to the floor. These toilets are supplied, at time of purchase, with mastic sealing rings. Our friend, who built a twenty-four room guest house, had a stack of these rings - because the builders didn't use them! - and she had problems with most of her toilets. I ended up making - because I could not buy - an adapter to fit the misaligned pipe and fill the gap, then sealed the pan correctly to the adapter, screwed the pan to the floor on a bed of silicone, properly finished. Smell gone. I doubt that centipedes could have found their way through the old "seal", but it would only have been a matter of time. Now I have to do the other two, what joy. No way can I trust a "chan" to do it!

So, does that mean a day trip to Singapore is now theoretically possible? (Apart from no flights, and SG rules, obviously)

Have you suggested to your bosses that they ask them?

Have you suggested it to them?

I have not seen this anywhere. What are the rules on BYO? Is it against the law to drink your own booze, after all the restaurant did not sell it to you?

It is amazing how powerful, directable and programmable modern watering systems can be. And you are a fan of massed pipes and drums bands, aren't you? Pigeons are a huge problem. A gas powered cannon scares them away quite effectively. Or, take up paramotoring. Nod nod, wink wink, know what I mean?

Ooh you are cynical..........!

Good if they buy rip-off "duty free" goods and have a smoked salmon, lobster and champagne lunch on the way.

Given their proclivities and lifestyles, I guess all those concerned qualify one way or another.

Stop giving them ideas.......................!

In my view, there are minorities and there are minorities. Why must the whole of humanity grovel to the God of political correctness for 0.0001% of the population. Call him /her/them whatever he/she/they/it wants, if that is your wish, but don't force the rest of us to believe he/she /they /it is anything other than a human with X and Y chromosomes as dispensed at birth. Equally don't force your religious beliefs and prejudices down everyone else's throats. My imaginary friend is as good as your imaginary fiend (sic). Black/white/yellow /brown /blue /tartan lives matter! Equally!

I have a PayPal account linked to my UK bank account. I tried to make online purchase from a service provider, I received a message "your payment is under consideration" and nothing further. Contacting PayPal, they could find no trace of the transaction. No money left my bank account. Trying again, the PayPal option had disappeared from the app. The app provider checked their records, the transaction was blocked by PayPal, because, they said, the PayPal linked account address was in UK and the mobile used, and isp, were in Thailand. I have never had that problem before.

Is it not the "use before " date, off the phial, rather than an expiry of validity of the certificate? I cannot read the docs in the photo, too grainy.

When I lived in Rhodesia, we lived a little bit out of town. Our phone was on a party line with 20, yes twenty, subscribers. Each subscribers jade a coded ring - ours was ten short and two long. To call the exchange, one cranked the handle, one long ring. To call a neighbour on the same party line, one had to crank their code ring. An international call had to be booked days in advance, and cost 10 pounds per minute! TV was monochrome, and only broadcast for a small number of hours per day... 18:00 to 22:00 as far as I remember. Left the country at the end of 1979.

I will welcome death. I only fear the process.

a backward thief!

Lots of horizontal jogging will not only keep you fitter, slimmer and younger, but it will keep the wife quiet(ish) . Always provided, of course, that you restrict the activity to "home turf "! Or are very very careful not to be found out.
