    It's called the profit motive. People will always try to make the most they can. Entirely up to the customer to accept, or walk away.

    Panic stations. According to friends who gamble Trump now odds on for a win on November 5.

    A very normal sight on Friday and Saturday evenings in my home town in the UK.

    FFS, not that difficult to avoid this problem.

    You have rather missed the point. Many Thais gamble underground all the time. Worth giving regulation a shot in my opinion.

    The difference between Australia and Austria is a difficult one for most Thais to identify.

    What a farce ! A bribe for votes aimed at the huddled masses without any consideration as to how and when it will be implemented.

    I have already lost two debit cards in this way however I have recently found an ATM near to Villa Market, Ratchayotin, Bangkok which has a taped voice reminding users to take their card at the completion of each transaction.

    Calm down old chap, you appear over-excited by this topic. I would only add, as a Brit, that I would try to avoid the US justice system like I would try to avoid the plague. Coincidentally I would also add that, in spite of all the efforts to gag Trump, my bookmaker is offering odds on for a Trump win on November 5. Cheerio.

    First came to Thailand in the early 1960s. Visited many times, lived and worked here 1983 -1987, married my Thai wife in 1990, retired to Thailand in 1993. Now in old age I still enjoy living here. Things have changed, of course, but the climate is still warm, the food is still good, and Thai people are still friendlier than most others..and I still have my lovely Thai wife. I will never leave.

    Decreasing amounts of fibre in our diet.

    Think about the Universe, the Multiverse, and beyond. How, why and where were these entities created ? Is some form of God involved ? We will never know. What we do know is that life on our little planet is complex and cruel for many species, and does not offer much to be thankful for.

    Looks increasingly like a victory for Trump come November 5.

    Very few, if any, upper class Thai women will associate with farang in Thailand. Outside Thailand, however, they are much more friendly.

    Lighten up. The title is clever.

    Big tits are for Mummys' boys.

    Some of us are still around..

    We're you a snitch at school I wonder ? Such people were loathed when I was a kid.

    Never met him. I used to enjoy his Nite Owl column and found it a useful guide as to where and what was going on in Bangkok's nightlife, which was great fun in those days.

    In my day we took a lot of stick, day and night. Now it is called abuse, but we never thought of it as such. Just had to toughen up and get through it.

    This is the wrong way round . It is people who are posing a threat to wild elephants, and it people who are invading elephant territory.

    I've never been asked for this at CW, only an updated bank book and bank confirmation letter, dated one day before I apply for my annual retirement extension.

    Unattributed social media report citing 'newly released data'. Hmmm...

    He says he will return to Thailand on 1 April after just 5 days in the UK. Not much of a vacation.
