I think the Art Cafe at Tapae Gate has closed. They closed before the virus and saw stuff being taken out .

Also a small Italian restaurant inside Tapae Gate ( don't know name but been there many years). 

Some off topic and offensive posts (and the replies to them) have been removed.

Please try to stay on topic.

Phantom of the Opera (only available 48hrs so you would need to watch today - unless they extend)

If you look on Ventusky, tomorrow morning (13th) looks hopeful.

You need to focus on the process rather than the end point.

Maybe delve into some philosophy - at the very least you could start to question , what is the point of thinking "what is the point".

Surely this doesn't apply to just Thailand. It's a case of most businesses in Thailand and the rest of the world are reeling from this crisis. Nothing about the situation at the moment is Thailand specific. Also comparing countries in the west 20-30-40 yrs ago to Thailand at present (or even those same countries), is a completely different ballgame.

I think they've stepped over the line if some is attacked they will be to blame.
I don't live in Phuket but where I am there's plenty of Thai's driving around on bikes.
They have also got 597,009 followers.
If you live in Phuket take care.

I think you are right and they were quite careful in their use of language. Not outright instigation of violence but implied.

I must admit I thought the picture was a catapult and meatballs!

It seems to be a reaction against tourists riding around on motorcycles. It seems to be their impression that locals have to stick rigidly to the curfew even if it causes hardship. However there are tourists riding around seemingly still on holiday.

It doesn't exactly advocate violence in that it says if the authorities can't control it, then the locals will. So skirting along the verge of instigating violence.

It's going to get absolutely abominable !

Just the thought of "out of" becoming "outta", conjures up the presence of my late elocution teacher. I can see and hear her now ! She would not have been amused!

She is indeed fortunate. 

Yes, in Edinburgh there are ethnic Indians with a Scots brogue. In Thailand, there are ethnic Europeans with an Isarn accent. 

Friend of ours moved up to Isle of Lewis about 10 yrs ago. Local shop in Stornoway run by Scottish speaking Indians !

---t I better prepare to feed the whole neighbourhood! Neighbours are still using GRAB delivery !

Surely there must be a Youtube channel for correct English !

If not maybe start one ! Remember I gave you the idea so you need to make me a partner!

Being over 17, there's not much I cab change now regarding her accent. IELTS is no problem. The worst thing is that she will have to pay fees of about 13,000 GBP a year as a foreign student, despite being a British citizen. 

I know !

My daughter started learning German as she was going to be going to free University there.

Before Brexit ? Or were you anticipating Scottish independence?

Indeed, and Eva are still offering flights one way flights to LHR on three days next week for a 22,665 Baht in Economy and 32,000 Baht in premium economy

People booked on those Eva flights are wondering if they are still happening considering incoming flights seem to have been stopped. Seeing as these flights are maybe some of the last it is leaving a lot of people on tenterhooks. Is there any reliable source available for people to check their status.

It's all very well to keep telling people to book commercial flights, but when the flights keep getting cancelled there is only so much you can do.

There seem to be announcements of no more incoming flights to Thailand which I suppose would mean no outgoing , so it doesn't seem feasible to book a commercial flight anymore.

Perhaps it would help to give some information regarding flights already booked and whether these will be happening after incoming flights have been stopped.
