Another nice little grey area for venues hosting major events has been created- i wonder how much getting approval is? open to abuse by the authorities i think - who will pocket the approval money and tell you that this law makes it ok for them to do exactly that.At least it's a step in the right direction for the tourist industry...

i think you would need to go via tourist police or better is Immigration- because immigration will have facial recognition?? from the photos taken at the border .....maybe when they try to leave the country you can get them nabbed at the airport. the amount you aim to collect is approx 8 x the value of the items so about 30k ...plus whatever you have to pay Immigration to catch him ....Lastly the jars should be out of reach...

great to see some innovation for a sporting event in thailand - fantastic!

not much thought given to the other patrons - i wonder what he does for a living

i'm looking at these payments systems now - it's the service provider which charges a commission - the bar might have implemented a payment system which charges 4 or 5% . just QR on its own is no fee.

rayban meta is banned in Thailand ...btw i already checked

who cares about the judges ruling ? Those terrorists had superior weapon and armour(from the truck) and showed intent to kill. That they didnt get a shot off - is of SAS superior training and intel.Futhermore there were no more episodes of powerful machine guns inside lorry's pointing at police stations.The soldiers followed their training.Their commanding officer is the only one who should be prosecuted if at all. I'd say he earned a medal.The british public will not accept this ruling.It will be overturned -any attempt to incarcerate those troops will be met with stiff opposition from the general public.Send the judge to the Ukrainian front line and ask him to arrest Russians .If he makes no attempt to arrest the russians - let him serve the time.

soi lang suan still very good - Tops supermarket -plenty of choice and variety-mid way to shopping centres -lots of motorbike taxis.lived on the river in samsen soi 3 for many years - despite its awkward geography -really enjoyed it.what's the best riverside location , up the serious end of town?

i like Thai Air - straight into heathrow - no messing - avoid BA at all costs -ashamed of our national carrier - i would not allow them to bear the union jack on their livery if i was asked for an opinion.Shockingly awful experience everytime - avoid their terminals like the plague.absolutely rip off joints staffed with ppl too busy to actually make a difference. You have to do everything yourself these days ...dreadful . i would like to try a 380 though - always thought it had to be singapore airlines-nice to know Lufthanser is an option.

short throw projectors are relatively new concept too - just to add to our analysis paralysis lol. prices on tv's are coming down - now an 85 inch is relatively affordable . if u project - what size screen do you want? The correct way to measure that is THE VIEWING DISTANCE IS OPTIMAL AT 2.5 TIMES THE DIAGONAL MEASUREMENT OF THE SCREEN.work out if you need 100 inch or 150 inch for example - if not use the 75 incher or buy new 85inch TV. it will succumb to the humidity in time but so will a projector bulb deteriorate..there are some outdoor tv's on the market with additional weatherproofing..

i'm pondering this procedure too- not looking forward to it,i see BIDH are offering pain free dentistry at a high cost if u go for the full anasthesia. u can elect the laughing gas option as a cheaper alternative..re the mercury ....u can get high levels in fish...much more than u are likely to get from a filling or three...apparently coriander /Pak Chee is good at removing heavy metals from the body. Plants , including weed also bring metals into the body..

If the developers or agent are still using their bank accounts - should be quite easy to find them.The thais are very good at locating people with their village networks.Also not sure if they have ANPR systems yet but tracking their car/bike movements might provide a clue . Where did the money go...can it be recovered? Do the agents/developer have to belong to some kind of association to get their licence? if they have breached that code .Make the regulator responsible for the losses - then the regulator has an obligation to recover the money and ban the agent /developer from future operations...otherwise what's the point of any of these organisations? does it really require TV exposure to get anything done .Why is that?

pad krapow gai or mu with fried egg and a singha- this is just for breakfast tho.....

Barking mad - the swiss. Biggest importers/consumers of dog meat apparently.

i think this question arises for 1 reason only .It encourages us to check the facts ,weigh up and form an opinion.That is it's value.Because if we do it for this question then we are more likely to do it for another...however it also teases us with the question: would our Govt knowingly lie to us to create a false perception..WMD, Pandemic,vaccines,diesel,crimes from immigrants etc..

Can you imagine this country trying to phase out diesel? it hasnt even been mentioned ...in fact it is probably churning out more disel vehicles - i would say the minister fro transport has not done enough .free bus rides on those filthy ndiesel monters is the not the way forward - start by scrapping them - or convert to electric. Everybody in the world would like silent quiet Garbage trucks- why dont they start there??? waste to energy plants can even charge the things up ..

Good point -it might be a requirement at either visa renewal or work permit.i expect to pay something but i would like the trash collected regularly and on time(which means basically extra trucks to cover those not in service) and then if you subscribe to a news publication like Bangkok Post- a vote.Taxation without representation is immoral.(although i believe the UK has reinstated voters rights if living abroad for longer than 10 years).

only lend what you can afford to lose

i'd love to be part of bringing UK cultural talent to thailand - it's what we do anyway.Arriving today are Tip Records and a group of 30 uk fans - they are a uk based record label with highly talented DJ's- 30th Jan 2025 is our gig at Samsara Beach Club , Koh Phangan- Groove Britannia !

seen this happen in Phuket too ....except the guy who lit the firework - one of those clay ones -was being hunted down by an enormous Marine looking fella - after one of the fragments hit his G/F...alcohol and fireworks are't a good fit .i suppose a clamp down on selling them would produce no results

Great to know that we can rely on Air India to get these direct flights running - makes you wonder why Thai Airways didnt do it? Could it be they are mis managed? Look forward to more stories about the crossing - it could be a regular feature

so what is the official closing time?

you are very lucky to find loose leaf tea.....recently i noticed how difficult it is to get Lipton loose leaf ( or t bag) a million coffee products but alas Thais do not understand tea - thai tea is a milky affair. Only product is dimar tea which is not very good but better than nothing .Nowadays you have to buy it online - no point going to the local supermarkets or 7/11,big c , makro,lotus. Tea the most popular drink in UK. barely given a second look by the stockists of thai stores ..yet Vietnam is awash with the stuff mostly green tea.Lastly one is required to stir one's tea in the same direction as the earth spins, for a truly perfect cuppa

great idea...and if he didn't get what he wanted from Putin - would he thump him..?
