  1. He doesn't live here, but I suspect he had some 'inside knowledge.' Passers by would not see the bike. He had to have known about it in advance - which is also clear from the way he acted.
  2. In hindsight, locking the bike up would have been a good idea. But this end of Soi 8 is so quiet and peaceful, it was hard to imagine anything bad happening. I've lived here for 10 years without any incidents of crime. But as I've just discovered, there's always a first!
  3. Here's an important job for the ASEAN NOW sleuths! As the attached photos and videos show, someone stole my bicycle from my apartment block at the far end of Soi 8, Sukhumvit. This happened at 2.40am on Sunday morning. It took my landlady a few days to review the security camera footage, so we've only just pinpointed the culprit. As you can see, a man rides into the apartment block car park, acting suspiciously. He is riding a different bike. He then abandoned this good-quality bike, for reasons unknown. Then he goes straight over to my bicycle and rides away on it. My bike was a brand-new, good-quality one. It appears the thief knew what he was going to steal in advance. I will file a report at the police station soon, but I don't expect the boys in brown to leap into action and collar the thief. So any help you guys can offer would be much appreciated. I realize this is very much a long shot, of course...but you never know! It would be great if I could send this to the TV news companies. Another long shot, but they do like to run such clips on the news. So if anyone has a good contact with these organizations, please let me know. As a result of this, I am now in possession of another bike, as pictured I presume this was also stolen, as it's a good bike. If you know of someone who has lost such a bike recently, let me know. (Of course, if anyone makes a claim on that, I'll let the police handle it). So thanks in advance for your ideas, tips, and suggestions - it's a puzzle to keep you guys busy over Christmas! 6a2baac5-c836-4ccc-aed8-2c9fa47510f0.mp4 7f9105ff-6647-4b6f-9885-b51a8ce3cebf.mp4 e706262a-0b82-4e54-aa9d-98388dd7d422.mp4
  4. 10 years ago, I would never have believed I would one day look back at Prayut's reign as 'the good old days.' But after the chaos of the last few years, I do! Bring back the General and his watch-loving buddy...all is forgiven. Happy days may soon be here again!
  5. Yup...that's the key to the whole flip-flop!
  6. If you had super compounding and being added to for 30-+ years, a $2 million pot would be on the low side.
  7. As publicly stated, this has nothing to do with the Bumjauthai party being exorcised. Also, there are leprechauns riding unicorns in my back yard...
  8. We're up to 2 positive comments now...yay! This must be the most negative, miserable thread ever on AN, and that's against some tough competition over the years. I congratulate them on being adventurous and wish them all the best. I hope it all works out 🙂
  9. Most countries tax your worldwide income. What makes the US different is that citizens have to pay taxes to Uncle Sam, regardless of where they live (I can't comment on Eritrea).
  10. I try not to be pedantic about grammar, but I do think saying "I would of, could of or should of" should result in a long jail sentence.
  11. Why eat delicious Thai food when you can eat eggs with fully-grown chicks in them.? Just in time for Halloween, too!
  12. ???????????? - Wow, she's a comedian, too. So much talent makes her a dead cert for PM!
  13. I saw outgoing PM Prayut polishing the gun turret on his tank. The old guard are not out of options yet...
