They think ahead and buy early

Not being religious I'm often not aware of an impending  dry day/s...if I stock up the tendency is to drink more,so I prefer to only buy enough day to day..on the occasions  of being caught out the demon drink can be found with a bit of searching   but very often not my favourite tipple.

No reason to stop sales of beer.

Never has done in the past.

Yes I bought some earlier in the 11am - 2pm time slot..normally only religious days they ban it..but what  about those not religious who want a drink ?

Not sure if any 2 strokes left, they use Daihatsu 3 cylinder 4 strokes running on LPG

 

That's interesting  last time I was in Bangkok (2017)

I'm sure there where still lots of 2 strokers they have the 2 stroke sound that 4 strokes don't make.....well unless they already had the sound machine fitted ????

Great because the two-stroke tuk-tuks stink up the entire city! 

Most (all) of them are running on LPG  not very stinky.

It's always cloudy when there's something to see

Yes that's my experience too, also if not cloudy then the light pollution puts a dampener on it.

I have not heard of many going elsewhere in search of a better promenade. 

There was a news piece a while ago just before the covidiocy struck about Thai visitors   not being too impressed with Pattaya beach/promenade one of the things quoted was lack of seating and shade trees.  those interviewed also said Bangsean and Barng Saray where better.

Cabbies can also now borrow cash from the cooperative development fund at 1% interest, so they can do other jobs to generate income during the ongoing crisis.

Yeah great idea to borrow even more money !

I understand that a lot of cabs are not owned by the drivers but rented from the cab company...

what other jobs ?

If you don't have a proper education, you know the consequences. "Desperate need" as in wanting to provide for family.

Doesn't matter how "proper" the education is if there are only low paying jobs available.    

Desperate need as in wanting to provide for family..yes exactly.

"Whatever happened to those wide-eyed zealots who used to walk up and down the High Street with a sandwich board bearing the words The End of the World is Nigh? I haven’t seen one in ages; but then again they are no longer needed when apocalyptic doom-mongering is now a mainstream activity."

if somebody gets through their allotted tasks correctly in the specified time

And if they get through the task before the allotted time  they can take a break right ?  or maybe they need less time to do the task or need more task to fill the time ?

.Until manufacturing moves the world needs China...

So Trump was right about something then ?  

bring the manufacturing home..in my opinion the "west" was foolish to hand one country so much control over almost every aspect of manufacturing 

lost jobs and lost intellectual properties, its probably too late now anyway.

Friendship and Foodmart have bread  they both most likely have potatoes too but I never buy them there.
