It’s okay in here. Been a few times two to three years ago. Think last time was in CM it was closed. Foods okay , get what you pay for , staff friendly and thankfully no issue with smokers. TBH people who in this day and age smoke in a restaurant or cafe are just ignorant and selfish. There’s a few beauties in this forum sadly but heyho , takes all sorts .
Used to be a great place just before Maddog which was great for food and music through the night and that was closed last time I was there too. Think the couple who had it fell out . That was really good value but sadly name escapes me for now. Aaahhhh remembered , Tiger Kingdom in the City was its name.-

Here you go …
On December 27, 2024, a new minimum daily wage rate in Thailand was published in the Government Gazette, taking effect on January 1, 2025. With these changes, the minimum daily wage in 2025 ranges from THB 337 to THB 400, up from the previous THB 330 to THB 370, depending on the province. -

Yeah.. correct.
AUS > Thai - free trade agreement.
USA > Thai 55% tariff.
This would be why USA has 3% of the Thai beef market where as AUS has 44%.
Not the only reason i’d say . USA. Beef is laced with all sorts hence why Europe and U.K. won’t take anything including chicken.

I thought foreigners can only get jobs where a demand is or Thais cannot fulfill?
What kind of job a Russian can get here?
And in what business foreign consultants are needed?
😳
Well we know what job a Russian girl can get don’t we !

Of course it is ! More figures dreamt up by the eternal optimists . Never believe there figures . It’s always bigger better etc which I always doubt for so many reasons .

Does anybody on here really believe these constant figures churned out seemingly weekly from one spokesperson or another. And I’ve always really doubted the added Baht value added to said statements. Too many unknowns to make those sort of claims. Ohh well , if it makes them happy I guess

There were 4 lads making a nuisance of themselves - it was like they had never flown before, they were excited, couldn't sit still, kept getting up and sitting in different seats (plane was only about 10% occupied).
They kept going backwards and forwards to the toilet (about 10 or 15 rows in front) - I could smell cigarette smoke on them when they walked past.
The flight attendants spoke with them... and this turned into a game. They kept going back to the toilet - the cabin crew would wait outside, tell them to sit down after they got caught smoking yet again.
My concern was that these lads were such idiots they were going to put a cigarette butt into the waste paper bin and cause a fire.
I was very surprised not to see any Police waiting when we got off the plane.
The FA's did nothing other than try and stop them, which I guess is all they could do, but I'm also surprised the Captain did not get involved - I suspect they were 'somehow' connected locals, but this was Eco Class, so perhaps not, though I couldn't understand why this was not dealt with more seriously.
Was on a Etihad flight 12 months ago to Thailand and a smart ass British tourist was clearly having a quick vape during flight. He then must have thought I need a bigger fix and went to the toilet to do so. Detector kicked in and male flight attendants descended on said toilet and a very sheepish guy exited . Taken to his seat and made to pay £200 on the spot after words with him. Up to then he had been acting Billy big b***s and from then on was very sheepish and not a happy bunny. Bet he won’t vape on a plane again.

If it’s run any better than previous years I’ll be surprised. Be the usual high death count and tbh until they sort the policing and driving tests out it’s always going to be unsuccessful. What a waste of life this is always.

They’ll still be talking about it then too. Think submarines and other crazy schemes .Not sure they have the ability and skill set to do it successfully .

I’m British , and probably should keep out of this discussion but from where and all my mates are sitting this whole election and rhetoric from Trump is mind blowing. Firstly I don’t get the absurd amount of money that’s spent on the whole thing , money that lots could help in so many areas , it’s obscene tbh. Second is regardless of any qualities , and in my eyes it’s doubtful he has any Trump might have as a person, he’s a complete low life. As proven so many times. Thirdly he has zero idea about what truth is and isn’t and continually lies and seemingly doesn’t care in any shape or form. I’m not going into his sexual episodes and misogynistic attitudes to women . To think you could contemplate he being your leader just defies common decency. Is Harris much better . Yes I think so but still a poor choice to basically run the biggest and military and economy in the world. If Trump gets in. God help USA and the rest of the world relations.

It's not bigoted to point out it really has low viewing figures and little public interest, or that the definitions of what is disabled is increasingly being pushed. It's almost at the stage of the depressed being able to compete against the genuinely physically disabled. There is a UK competitor with mild ms running and winning gold medals, ridiculous.
I don’t doubt when you consider the amount of competitors and the multiple grading that from time to time some slip through. In fact 2 athletes have been pulled out after there races one of which won a bronze but had it taken off him. So what about the GB swimmer Alice Tai with club feet who had her leg amputated below the knee due to extreme pain in 2022 and she got back to completing this Paralympics . She’s won 2 golds , 1 silver and a bronze and possible more to come later. Inspirational as I’d say around 95% or more are . Having struggled with CFS/ME and resulting depression I can tell you that most athletes taking part have multiple issues beyond there most obvious ones. I’ve also luckily coached lots of disadvantaged athletes are you really can’t make light of there achievements . And there’s been full stadiums and venues for most events . Noise has been incredible and loads of brilliant races . Take the blinkers away !

They must either also be disabled or lead very boring live's then. It's become a joke now with able bodied competing claiming to have slight mental or medical 'disabilities'
You clearly have no idea how it all works . I’ll leave you to your narrow minded bigoted view .

Really , !!! You are so wrong. All my friends covering all ages are glued to it . Maybe U.K. people have more empathy for these athletes and rightly so. Inspiring and brilliant watching. The competitors stories are humbling . Thailand are actually 18th in the medal table now with 5 golds and 21 total medals. Well done Thailands Paralympic athletes .

This won’t start or end well…. Unbelievable mind sets some of these people in power have . Maybe they see transporting aliens back to Thailand might help the tourist numbers.

I like what happens in Australia, if you break the law and end up in prison then once time is served you get deported back to where you come from, same needs to happen in the UK and no appeals in court.
Time for a change but without the violence of the past weeks as this is not fixing the problem.
It’s not that easy sadly. Asylum seekers are primed to ‘lose’ there passports and paperwork so it’s not then easy to deport as it’s hard to prove where there from. And of course some have genuine issues as to why they’re seeking asylum. For sure the French aren’t going to take them as are not other European countries . First thing they need to do is streamline the appeal process and initial request for asylum . Most are migrants looking for a better life. UK is well known for compassion !

28.5 a unit currently where I live . That’s nearly a third of a GBP . And standing charge is 24.6 a day. All GBP. And people say Falang are rolling in money. Yes we get paid if we are more productive and the likes but often it’s forgotten our costs are so much higher. Just saying……
But will add , as should have said , this rise in Thailand won’t make living any easier for Thai families…..very sad.

Where I live a few wallabies escaped years ago and no one bothered. Just left then to it as the surrounding land was perfect for them. They bred and multiplied and now there’s at least 800 of them. Still not disturbed and left wild. Seem to survive just fine and there’s sightings all over the place including villages and in gardens of big dwellings. Quite something . And unlike Thailand nobody’s tried to shoot them.

Yes, IOM is a self-governing British Crown Dependency and part of the British Islands but not part of the UK. Not being part of the UK means that, by definition, the IOM cannot be part of Great Britain, either. I'm surprised that you do not know the content of the Isle of Man Constitution.
I didn’t say we were part of U.K. , we never have been and also never said we were part of Great Britain. We are British though , as my passport would confirm . I’m well aware of my countries standing .

Yes we are . We have a governor installed being a crown dependency . My passport has British citizen on it , along with Isle of Man . If was not born there that wouldn’t be on it . I’ve been there all my life , 70 years , and we have always had that status . And you should know that being from Liverpool lol

No . Single persons pension. Plus any supplement your entitled too. Mine is a further £2k ish on top of that . As in over the year .

You may be right, but the writer of the post is from the Isle of Man where apparently they have a higher level of Pension than the rest of the UK.
Our basic rate of pension , just gone up , triple lock etc , is £241.50 a week and that’s what every pensioner will get currently. Any extra is based on NI contributions and how long you’ve made them. I actually had 49 years in and when my pension was calculated you needed 40 years . Now it’s 35 I believe.
And not to sound pedantic but we are not part of the UK . Never have been . Always causes a reaction lol-
