  1. Rubbish! Blaming it all on cannabis when you obviously know b****r all about it!
  2. "Since the freedom given to all the cannabis aficionados, the place has become a dumping place for drop outs and idiots. All these strange people running naked and others lying in the streets is the outcome." Exactly how much do you know about cannabis? "Since the freedom given to the cannabis afficianados, it has been blamed for all strange people running round naked and others lying in the streets" More likely to be yabba, but there again, it may be all down to the legalisation of alcohol!!! :-)
  3. A taser DOES reach that far obviously - try asking the guy with no clothes on!
  4. No doubt there will be the usual explanations on here that it was all due to the legalisation of cannabis which was to blame.
  5. "Thai Woman Marries Two Austrians in One Ceremony" And in the next topic:- Foreigners Clash Over Thai Woman in Pattaya, 2 StabbedI don't like to be a killjoy, but................!!!
  6. Not like TAT to not get mentioned in such positive news!
  7. Indeed! One step forward - two back. A bit off topic, but similar to my bank discontinuing online banking. "Oh, don't worry, Sir, you can use our App on your phone - much better" "Can I have your App, then, please?" "No, sorry Sir, you're too old - maximum age limit 70 years of age"!!!
  8. "Measures might be considered to enhance security, particularly in popular tourist zones such as Pattaya." YAWN! Is that comment copied and pasted from earlier statements by the "Powers that be"?
  9. Ladyboys = Pattaya = theft (Usually Indian necklace)
  10. Sooo! Another couple of weekends of closed bars looming on the horizon! P.S. I personally always have a couple of bottles of wine in the house for "emergencies" - I guess repeat elections comes under that banner, but the bars and restaurants will suffer again due to the archaic laws. EVEN MORE AMAZING THAILAND! TAT must be crying in their tea cups!
  11. "If the Supreme Court decides to accept the case, any of the accused who currently hold political positions from the 2026 election, will be required to immediately suspend their duties. This provision is triggered at the point the court formally registers the case, rather than at the conclusion of judicial proceedings. The measure is intended to preserve the integrity of the process while the case is under judicial consideration." Guilty until proved guilty?
  12. "Running Scared"? (Roy Orbison) Starmer is hopefully on his way out!
  13. Surely that's the point? Too many people going throuh the process without a hitch - including those that become dependent on the benefits system?
  14. Thanks for the info - I'm sure my boss would have understood! 😆
  15. English has long been accepted as a universal "second" language, and only a couple of weeks ago there was an article on here pointing out that the standard of English in Thailand's schools is very poor. I tried to explain to my Thai stepdaughter when she was at school, that an understanding of English would increase her prospects of getting a decent job with career prospects when she left, but "dumb farang know nothing". She's now working all hours in a factory, working shifts and wondering if I might have been right!
  16. "Wifi installation" causing flu like symptoms? - please be more explicit! I spend a lot of time on my computer now, and when I was working, and can imagine my boss' reaction if I told him I had 'flu because I'd been working on the computer for too long! 😄
  17. At my age, (80) a 10k run would kill me, so there'd be no need to take the water, and consequently would not be repeated the next day!!!
  18. Ah, but TAT only said "seeks to" or "aiming to" or "intended to" - in line with their usual "hopes to" type comments!
  19. "The young man, who works in the fishing industry,..."
  20. Can you not read? Or just another who can't be bothered to read the detail? "The young man, who works in the fishing industry,........"
  21. Get rid of the "likes" - they are out of keeping, and not needed!
  22. A convicted felon as President of the USA says it all about that country - never mind the rest of the "dubious/illegal" behaviour of the man.
  23. No? The answer is easy - lots of MONEY!!! paid to the Police/Courts.
