He also congratulated them on their financial situation. Had the pigs kept their noses out of the trough over many years there would be no need for rehabilitation

Thai gold is all priced in Bht not grammes in Thai gold shops with the daily buying & selling price usually clearly marked. The buying price is for the weight & extra charged for making ornamental or jewellery which when you sell 99% chance it is just melted down & re used.. The answer to your question is that both ornamental or bullion should get you the same selling price as advertised after weighing. If they start telling you must make a deduction , walk away & go somewhere else. It can be a good long term investment, ie: I have many Bht purchased for less than 9,000 Bht a Baht Selling over 100 Baht is "notifiable" whatever that means. PP or ID needed at reputable stores

After working here in Bangers for 23 years have retired to the country. My life style, house, amenities, land & relaxed style of living would just not be possible in my home country. Healthcare does cost but works here, many countries including the UK, Oz, NZ as examples the "free care" is diminishing in quality fast along waiting list for anything needing a specialist.

Go enjoy your holiday, if you do not have any health issues have a drink if you feel like it.

The office is in Police Central in Plonchit just past the Police General Hospital. Took about 3 days. Issued in Thai. I got it translated & the Indonesian Embassy accepted without needing a certification

We have purchased 8 times over 18 years & sold 3 times. Land office very helpful, very efficient title deed (chanote) changed, signed by the Super after land tax paid. It is painless. For all you doubters out there the sales have shown an average of 16% per annum, firmly tucked away in MY bank account. Important as working in 6 countries no pensions

This to a large extent applies also to Phop Phra & Mae Sot. Some of the injuries are horrific apart from general stuff. The staff do a fantastic job of treating them.

At least they have isolated & are prepared to admit their shortcomings. This is a worldwide trend

Not good but at least nobody got hurt. If they had woken that may not have been the case. Sad times but leaving back door open or only a locked flimsy insect door is just not prudent

Somebody mentioned already but ensure bolted well to ground or you will have a huge kite in a strong wind

The law is already in place if Mr Plod had any interest in enforcing it. No drinking of alcohol in a public place, which should also be used to stop guys staggering down the road with a large bottle of beer in their hand. Drink in the pub or at home

The yaba just too strong for some

This is funny. I told the boys before that you cannot keep all the contents of the envelope. You gotta push 50% upstairs

All we need is a good earthquake, even a 5.2 rumbler will take care

Many, many years ago I said "Let sleeping dogs lie" Thailand needs his return like a hole in the head.

Incidently for major procedures (private or public) Australia are years behind the big 5 here in Thailand

Let me tell you there are specialists in their field & there are specialists, (anywhere in the world). Thailand for example: a hip replacement, cannot beat Bangkok Hospital but would never go there for dentistry. Kidney & liver problems go straight to BNH. If possible for any brain surgery try & get a consult with Ramathidobi (public). Their knowledge & expertise as a teaching hospital is immense Horses for courses, as we say.

They got in through a border somewhere. Some government officer had a good little number going

I still think Thai children would still be lower weight/age ratio than than the US or UK. I am amazed how much fatty pork Thais in general eat though & the "easy" snack opportunities are now provided just about nation wide by 7/11.

The world needs every bee it can get, wild or otherwise. An apiarist would puff a bit of smoke, find the Queen, put her in a hive & all will follow. Amazingly regimented, bees

Good. I hope the bar caravans are next. No licences to sell booze, no business licence, no adherance to trading times, no toilets, & no taxes being paid (I bet). But I suppose the BIB get their commission & "protection" monies so they all look the other way.

If he had tried this in KL he would have had a security guard shoot him with a sawn off shotgun

They still need to shut this crap down really quickly

Badly written article. It implies that these 10 points need not be adhered to for the rest of the year, or maybe ???

350 KG of heroin ? in OZ, hard to believe..... Do you know the street value of that much ??
