Why, what on earth is the point?

I don't see the point  in banning it in the first place  or the point of not selling it a certain times of the day

or on certain days of every year,  but I'm not the one in charge making the decisions. ????

Maybe free if you use less than 90 units per month ?

What funds do you refer to, only a month ago there was i believe

1700 billion in cash reserves or am i suffering shut in syndrome ? 

They have (allegedly) over 200 billion USD in foreign currency reserves

but not enough to pay Thais the 5,000 baht per month for 3 months ?

It's a pity that they've just finished resurfacing a large part of Sukhumvit and now they've drilled dozens of holes into it so that the canopies won't blow away.

Not to worry the upcoming floods  will cause more damage ????

The amount of garbage, including discarded face masks and plastic waste however, has increased exponentially.

Today 19th is the traditionally  best/worst water throwing day in Pattaya "Wun Lai" 

I wonder if there is a single person  throwing water this year ?  ????

My Thai family have only done the traditional  "bless the oldies with a sprinkle of water"  even the kids are not playing with water..just staying indoors on their phones !!!!!!

If you were offered a chance to be among the first colonists to Mars, but that it'd be a one-way trip, would you go?

Yes,  my wife is in full agreement too ????

Stanley Kubrick is working on that as we speak.

He did a stunning job  with the moon landings I'm sure the Mars landing will be even better !

( PS he didn't really die in 1999 ) ????

Just how long do you think the Sirivadhanabhakdi family (4th richest in Thailand, distributors of Chang, Mekhong and Sangsom) and Bhirombakdi Family (Boonrawd Brewery, Singha Corp.) will put up with this? They buy and sell Thai politicians all the time.

 

Lets hope they wont put up with it too much longer..my stash is running low.

Hope i had bigger bike when i hit dog 1,5 month ago. But had  Misses drive me to ER.

After i look like this.

Me too except my misses looked the same she was in the back when scabby soi dog run out..not sure a bigger bike would have helped except maybe kill the poor mutt outright instead of it being in pain for hours.

Temperature too, saw one report of upto a month at "low" temperature.

Well if they moved it then now it seems there is a way to sneak in/out I'll investigate that tomorrow.

Is that Mr Manhattan ?

Checkpoint 8 was moved a few kms closer into the city as of 1pm today

Strange I wonder why they did that ?

 just from the above video ( I don't have one)

plug in the HDMI , power it up,  press menu on the remote  navigate to the  spanner and screw driver

navigate to 3rd option down then first option that says wifi   where it should find your wifi network  enter the wifi key and it should connect to the net.

I have applied to return the player. I suspect the company was confused between system type (PAL/NTSC) and region. This one does play NTSC but does not play all regions.

The silly region lock is often found on brand name DVD players..( though most could be unlocked by the remote control or via a firmware update)

most no name players from  (gasp) China will play everything and are very very cheap.even the Thai brands like Soken and AJ  play "everything"

I would imagine that there  would be very light traffic at this time of day.

“Smog has been formed in Kiev and Kiev region. It does not carry a chemical or radiological threat, the radiation background is within normal limits,” it said in a statement.

 I hope they got the good dosimeter out of the safe  this time ( from the Tv series)

Netflix has a very good 5 part series based on the Chernobyl  disaster.

Worth watching.

Yes I eventually sat and watched the  whole series the other night, riveting and deeply disturbing to watch the effect of the radiation on the firefighters who first responded to the fire

only in 2017 did they eventually manage build a workable sarcophagus  to seal the reactor for the next 100 years..what they'll do for the other few thousand years ..well who knows ?
