So are there actual table and chairs next to the shrine?  If so, what are they for?

They are for tempting unsuspecting tourists to take a rest in the heat.

Time for all the Thai Girl clichés to be dusted off and recycled.

 

I take care of my Thai partner, and she takes care of me in a way no Western girl could match.

 

In addition to the usual housekeeping and cooking, she manages all the bureaucracy and bills plus things like 4:00 am airport pick-ups where she greets me with a smile and an iced drink.

 

I once showed her a news article that said men need to ejaculate at least 21 times a month to maintain good prostate health .... and she started a diary!

 

Can you kindly provide a link to that news article because I'm pretty sure it's 31.

Well that sorts that out then.

It was her Birthday. You don't give birthday cake for someone's anniversary.

Bent police officers are being sacked. Isn't that a good thing? I don't understand why he is being attacked. There is a lot of debate on this site about the RTP being corrupt, these sackings are arguably evidence of an attempt to clean it up.

I'm not sure if you're serious or not but you'd better watch the movie...we can argue later.

I'm a man.

 

When you speak to me you speak to me as a man using my name. If you don't know my name you ask. If you don't want to ask my name then you address me as Mr. or Sir.

People generally get the respect they earn and rarely the respect they demand.

It's certainly good that they have a metal detector at the entrance to many malls. Or at least it would be if the thing wasn't going off every second person with security not seeming to care.

The thing I do not understand is,  If they had eaten it all no fine?

So if that is the case who cares that they didn't eat if after piling it on it tasted bad?

 

Either way should end the same,

In the customers stomach or in the trash what is the difference if the price was set at all you can eat

Otherwise they need to weigh every uneaten portion & fine every customer that didn't eat all

You've got it. It's all you can eat, not all you can heap on plates and waste. All the places I've been to clearly showed the fines for wastage and I agree with them.

Where is that claim  made ?

Need to wait until the Irish guy sobers up and wait until we hear what he has to say .

   It may be that he did refuse to pay his bill, for some reason . 

Could be that he liked the sound of the bell ringing and kept ringing the bell ?

Where does it say he was drunk?

"Pae suffered a head injury after colliding with the steering wheel. The airbag reportedly did not function."

 

There's an endorsement to buy, all that money, ฿12m for a POS, and the airbag didn't deploy.  Unless fuse removed, maybe in conjunction with seat belt warning ... hmm.

 

No wonder so many go into public service, as it seems to pay very high salaries ... ????

Salaries are ridiculously low. Bonuses on the other hand appear limitless.

They are ordered to dump used Fuel Oil at sea; you can normally find great blobs of it on your local Beaches in your home country, it's everywhere !

Used fuel oil??? That would be called exhaust. It goes up the smoke stack. I’m pretty sure they were tank washing.

One gets tired of all the BS.  Getting ready to go soon!! Silly country

Oh don't be silly Tony.

My ex trained near Wat Worachanyawas on the river. Take a boat there and head straight through the market and you will find many traditional massage shops all together. It used to be 200 baht per hour in fan room - more for AC room.

Simple, fine 5000 baht for each offence payable on the spot or vehicle impounded until paid ,  and if you get three fines, then automatic disqualification for 12 months, BUT that will need enforcement....bit difficult with the RTP rarely exiting their Police Stations 

Good luck finding anyone who has 5000 baht on them. 

The corruption table is corrupt.
