For many years Thammasat has been the source of radical thinking in Thailand, and many of it's students have paid the ultimate price without ever achieving change, up to now...

LOL, The Teflon Don....Nothing sticks on him!

I sense he is over-estimating the power of his wealth and may well find himself back in exile yet again. The ruling establishment don't take kindly to people like him.

When did Brighton become a beach where nudity is OK

There has been a nude beach at Brighton for many years, to the west of the main beaches. 

Good for her for not being a parsimonious, grovelling do-gooder.

Or perhaps the airline could ban her from flying with them, and circulate her details to other airlines? 

She's a dangerous, entitled idiot...a few long distance bus trips might give her time to reconsider.

Lighten up.

And nothing happened? Unbelievable!

Nothing unusual happened on any flight I was on. Smokers smoked in the smoking section, non- smokers didn't smoke in the non- smoking section. Live and let live in those days. Not any more.

I seem to remember there used to be a smoking section on many flights. Maybe should be reintroduced, for vapers ?

Abysmal behaviour by the German. Just throw him out, hopefully never to return.

Unbelievable that anyone would consider voted for Biden again, he's totally incompetent, confused and forgetful.

....and he hates Brits.

It's hotter than usual for this time of year, but not unpleasant.However,  for those who feel uncomfortable, obviously better to limit outdoor activity to esrly mornings and late afternoons.

She deserved it trying to scam a foreigner in Thailand. She should have gotten more than this. She got off too easy.

 

More foreigners needs to stand up against these low life scammers...

I hope you're joking...

I have often thought of visiting one of these clinics for a colon detox, this especially as I have a terribly slow digestive system and constipation, amongst other things is something I have to live with.

 

HOWEVER, a week ago I back-flipped off the back of a motorbike taxi on my steep drive and it turns out not only do I have concussion and a badly damaged heel, but I've also broken one of my coccyx vertebrae, which is extremely painful and the swelling interferes with many things in that area, so a visit to the local Phuket Detox clinic almost opposite the main entrance to Bangkok Phuket hospital seemed to be a good choice.

 

It's a very small place and it has a colonic irrigation machine on the second floor, so I booked a session there and then, and the woman in charge, Mon, was very pleasant and helpful in getting me set up for the session. It was pretty easy although having a catheter like plastic pipe stuck up my bum (but only for a couple of inches) was not that pleasant, probably because of the swelling from my injury, however we went ahead and she did manage to flush out some pebble-sized faeces, which had been there for about five days since my accident, so I was most pleased about that.

 

I may well make it a fairly regular occurrence due to my slow digestive system, as well as increasing fruit and fibre, along with water. However if anyone else wanted to try this for one reason or another, I can recommend this place.

 

The telephone number is: – 096 696 4553.

Thanks for ruining my breakfast.

The RTP continue to arrest sex workers. Hopefully, one day, they will focus on murder, theft and violence.
