Families, or people in general,  whose lives do not revolve around alcohol? 

There may be plenty of them but I've never meet a Thai male who doesn't drink.

Yep chinos, all from Big C. Fussy about shoes, always have been. Deck shoes for me, bought in the UK, never wear anything else in Thailand. Occasionally wear a T shirt but usualy polo shirts bought at talat nat on Soi Buakhao.

Whats talat nat, and where is it on Soi Buakao

Thanks Joe. Your depth of knowledge always astounds me.

How do I stop Thai Visa from sending me emails. It's clogging up my inbox, or do I just mark them as junk.

Rooster. Can you tell us how you're going to the UK by train?

Another OP who doesnt bother to investigate properly before opening a topic. The flights never stopped as quoted above.

This wasn't for me but a friend who doesn't have internet. He was booked for a flight on the 7th June with Eva. When he went to the agent they couldn't at the time find any information. So when he told me a  few days later I said I would look on the net. I tried Eva website but no joy. Looked at another couple of sites, still no definite information. So yesterday I tried the font of all knowledge and got the info that he needed. OK

Checked with Transferwise this morning was told that my 1700 pounds would reach my bank here on Monday 1st June

It can be requested from any branch. It takes about a week to get it at most branches.

Thanks Joe

Does anyone have updated information on when these flights will start.

One year statement from Bangkok Bank. Does it have to be your home Branch or can it be any branch.

At White Hart Lane about 1958 Spurs V Norwich in the cup. Stood right at the front near the center circle. Only remember one thing from the match and that is Norwich played  in yellow. Dad worked  Saturdays (overtime) so never saw another match.  Moved out of Edmonton when I was 12. Only been to White Hart Lane once since then I was making a delivery just before I retired here in 2006. 

I have Sony 48' TV which went bang this morning. I think it's a blown fuse. I'm looking for somebody to come and look at it and repair or give me a quote. As I dont have a car going to a shop is not really an option. And a 48" TV is not easy to carry. I looked on the forum but the most likely shop (from 4 years ago) which picks up isn't there any more.

I know I can replace it from somewhere between 10 and 15 thousand but if it is a simple repair I would much rather repair it than send it to a landfill.

Nope. I do like a glass of wine (or 3) with my food. I have drunk wine with every meal for years. If I cant have my wine I wont bother to go I'll stay home and cook instead (and save money).

Certainly last time in Soi Buakhao Pattaya i saw some restaurants packed with drinkers, if they weren't so stupid it's possible it would be allowed by now

PM me the restaurants,  I do like a drink when I'm eating.

Where does this put DIY places like HomePro, Global and the like?

 

Or do we just have to wait until Sunday to see what's open?

 

Homepro Pattaya Klang was open this morning.

The police must know who he is. The restaurateur would have taken the details from his ID.  If he didst you could put this down to his stupidity.

Bought mine in Big C - South

I was going to Big C tomorrow anyway ,so thanks for that.

Where in Pattaya can I buy a cheap one of these. I'm fed up with Motorcycle shops making the tire so hard I bounce all over the road. Or can anyone recommend a shop that uses a gauge.

Pattaya

It's due for renewal on 2nd July but I normally go 3 or 4 weeks early. What the latest news  on renewals.

On my trip to the bakers today I saw a whole bunch of RTP supervising a food pick up point (social distancing). Showily after that I was surprised at the number of people not wearing  masks as I rode round, and I dont mean not wearing them properly I mean not  wearing them at all.

If the RTP have enough staff to supervise food pick up perhaps they should keep their eyes open on the way there and pick up people who are blatantly ignoring the law .I dont mean arrest them  just get them to go home and get a mask.

 I said a long time ago that to find the true number a deaths due to the virus is to check every person who dies.

There are on average 500 deaths per day in Thailand. If there were 50extra deaths a day it wouldn't get noted to he summery of deaths next year.
