Looks like a sunbeam to me. As with most snakes good to have around for rodent control. Very few snakes are dangerous if left alone. Some even make good pets.

Dual pricing exists all over the world. Get over it, or go away.

I'm confused as ever on this issue. Does this mean smoking/ingesting pot will become legal ? I think not.

Oil and gas trader.

This is a long term disaster. The alleged 'clean up' has done enormous damage. Utterly disgraceful.

Certainly there are many lovely Thai women, and nearly all are attractive if not beautiful.

I would suggest that this post should not be taken seriously.

ONLY 39 tons ? That is one heck of a lot of oil, on top of which the real number is likely much higher than that.

The effects will last much longer than one year, sad to say.

The system will remain clogged. The last thing the elites want is young, well-educated people.

Tyre retailers in Thailand have convinced most Thais to change their tyres every 3 years. Good for their business, but total rubbish.

Excellent Rooster. Happy days, fun times. Back then it really was the Land of Smiles.

Retired Brit, living in Bangkok and Rayong for 40 years. Had two good pals here, one Aussie, one American, both dead. No wish to befriend anyone else.

Quote from one of the foregoing comments 'If you don't have the funds, use an agent'. Good advice, if that's the way you want to live here.

At 80 years if age I can understand the need for an urgent pee, but not the rude and crass need for it to be so public. Neither can I understand driving into a stationary kiosk. As has been said many times on Thaivisa the quality of expats arriving here now is demonstrably lower than it was 30/40 years ago.

Sadly I fear the cobras have little chance of survival having been 'released' in the middle of a concrete jungle.

Whatever people think of this guy he's almost certain to be the next PM.

No idea what you are talking about. Taste of bottled water varies all over the world.

Correct. 40 years in the oil industry, and be assured there is little that can be done to meaningfully control an oil slick other than to allow it to disperse over time, and to clean up wherever it makes landfall.

Well said.

Pathetic.

Is it beyond you to go in person to make an appointment ?

Growing old in the UK, no thanks. Care homes, disrespect, back of the queue in the NHS.

It's called a come and go massage.

The way they are tryjng to stop this will do more damage than the slick itself. Spilled oil moves with the tides. I'm afraid the only thing that can be done is, in due course and over time, to clean up the beaches it pollutes.
