Please enlighten me regarding the location and name of the big cheap pharmacy in Surin

What is it about the Kap Choeng I.O. that you don't like ? I use it regularly for my 90 day reporting . Easy going staff and sometimes we have a laugh . In and out of there in 10 minutes . BTW that bombing in Prasat was really scary . Also the Thai missile launchers made our place shake .

Been told that 100+ Cambodian troops killed by one F16 hit

Just heard them go over my place to Cambodia

So Cambodia has called for an immediate ceasefire and it was all quiet this morning in Prasat near Surin where I live . However that did not last long as the shelling has started again at mid-day .

Same for UK & most European countries . Not only families but also solo travelers , struggle with the high air fare on long haul flights .

and the UK and most large European countries too. The dogs can find 6 grams of heroin , never mind 6 kg . This smuggler must be really stupid to think he could be successful , unless he was spun a tale that the transit stages were all safe because authorities had been paid off .

Indeed , box jelly fish are the big danger in South East Asia . 60-70 people die each year in the Philippines . Also 5 deaths is Thailand since the 1990s, mostly around Koh Samui area . Box jelly fish are difficult to see as they are translucent . Often in shallow waters . Can kill in seconds or up to 48 hours after a sting . Vinegar application asap and sting removal with tweezers can help . Many Thai beaches have vinegar stations . Some beach hotels have nets in the sea to prevent jelly fish entry . One of the reasons that Thai people are often seen swimming fully clothed , is to prevent stings . Most European tourists are unaware of the dangers in swimming in Thailand's seas , both in the Andaman sea and the Gulf of Thailand . Not only sea creatures but also rip tides etc .

Okay I digress but does anyone know if the new large airport extension at Buriram airport will cater for international flights , as it seems to be too big for domestic flights only . I believe that the new extension is due to be in service this year . There was a rumour that Emirates were going to fly there from Dubai .

The smoking ban on the beach is just another way of imposing fines if they choose to and to include nearby walkways is ambiguous . If there is concern about the beach litter it's about time that mechanized beach equipment was used early every morning . Plus kick out the cheap Charlies who sleep on the beach instead of hotels . Pattaya is long overdue a makeover . Regarding health , there should be notices about the sewage polluted sea . Hardly a beach holiday destination.

Its crisis after crisis for this excuse of a government . Inevitable that it will end in tears and not just R.R.

Recently in Bangkok and I paid 1600 baht a night , thinking that there would be few if any popular Asian country guests but I was wrong . The hotel had mostly families from Bangladesh . I had a brief conversation with one of them and asked if they dined in the Indian restaurant attached to the hotel and they said no too expensive , we can eat out for under 80 baht each . So I am guessing that they are on some sort of discounted deal at the hotel ( I had a similar experience at another hotel 3 years ago ) . Looks like I am going to have to pay a lot more if I want to stay at a mostly Westerners hotel .

Maybe a better case that the whole government resign ?

How are they going to fund the promised 1.5 million new homes ? Now there is media gossip that RR will have to renege on her promise of not to income increase taxes or V.A.T. Also the UK pensioners representatives , namely the Silver Voices group have asked that the tax threshold to be raised in line with annual pension increases / triple lock .However the Treasury replied that they have rejected the idea of exempting pensions or other benefits from tax . So this calamitous so called government will continue to make bad decisions , no doubt . They are clearly out of their league . The problem is they still have another 4 years of their term left . There is no legislation in place that can oust a badly performing government ( bar the king )

No doubt about the fact that the UK benefit / welfare systems are being milked by fraudulent claims and low detection rates from the government bodies . Many claims from so called personal stress . Many long term claimants who can be seen often in supermarkets buying lots of unhealthy food / snacks and alcohol . In the car park they are often seen smoking and also have a non economical car . I quote from my knowing those concerned who boast about their knowledge of the benefits system . Many migrants are taught how to claim by their associates . I agree that both Labour and Tories have not sorted it out . 14.5 % of the UK population are claiming some form of benefit . The manner in which this Labour government is performing can only lead to a financial crisis . Starmer and his cabinet have no control of their party . Something has to give soon .
