I stopped eating it because of the cruel treatment of the animals producing it. Utterly disgusting.

Together 40 years, married 32 years. Most of our discussions are about practical, day to day issues. I enjoy the absence of BS.

Ho hum...the PM will do whatever he's told to do.

It's everywhere. A 90 year old pensioner in his wheelchair has just been stabbed to death in broad daylight in London, and a 9 year old girl shot dead in Liverpool, plus countless other daily stabbings/deaths throughout the UK.

He was put in place to stay in place. He will not be allowed to move on until approval to do so is given. It is unclear at this point when such approval will be given.

Stunning sense of humour...

I think not racist. Sometimes German humour can be very basic. Personal comments and banana-skin type jokes abound. Not to be taken too seriously in my opinion.

Who are you to describe others as 'morons,' and to look down on 'bar girls' ?

Personally I've never used an agent for any purpose in over 60 years visiting, working and living in retirement in Thailand. If you decide to live in Bangkok why not go to CW and ask them for advice as to how to proceed ? If, on the other hand, you prefer to use an agent in Pattaya while living in Bangkok, just be careful not to run into problems concerning a possible fake address rather than your actual place of residence.

Inflation will occur while the West tries to reduce it's dependence on products manufactured im China. It has very little to do with climate change unless, of course, Western govts over-spend on net zero.

Hopefully...

The BRN insurgency is ongoing and very dangerous. About time the Thai army go in really hard. Problem is, they won't. They'll just try to limit bad news to a minimum, and do very little.

Reading the report in the Bangkok Post on the new bill indicates that, in spite of a lot of verbage, restrictions on the growth, sale and use of weed will not be onerous.

Chadchart is going to help deal with the 'climate crisis' according to this article. Perhaps he could consider first dealing with traffic congestion, garbage disposal, klong pollution, overhead cable entanglement, and fire and safety measures generally. That's just for starters.

The govt try to avoid any attention being given to what is a very serious situation in the south.

What about tourists smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and visiting go-go bars and massage parlours ? Are they also to be 'discouraged' ?

First visited Thailand in 1960, worked here from 1983 to 1987, retired here in 1993. In over 60 years and countless inward journeys arriving at various entry points, including Swampy of course, this has never ever happened.

A case of 'last orders'. RIP.

As I already said, I renewed my UK passport here through VFS and no embassy letter required by CW to make transfers. (Sorry, I forgot that VFS supplied embassy letter. My mistake).

I think the word 'not' is missing in this report.

Don't know about the precise numbers, but Bangkok has surely been a top tourist destination for many years.

Years ago I had a part interest in the old Alleycat bar at the Silom end of Patpong 2. We met all the legal health and safety requirements, and never had any problems with the RTP.

Well said.

Oh dear. Lighten up for heaven's sake. Whatever his motives I reckon Anutin has made a good move on this issue.

6 months ago I received a new UK passport having applied in Thailand. CW transferred all relevant details from my old passport with no questions asked, including no request for an embassy letter. This was all done in Thailand so maybe not helpful in your case however, for what it is worth, CW seemed pretty relaxed about this procedure.
