Interesting this "breathalyzer misunderstanding" - I thought the breathalyzers only speak in alcohol volume content in your breath - not whether the subject is apretty or fugly x)

Never changes? Correct. Aussie guy 4 years ago wanted to move from a hotel corners of Sukhumvit and Asoke to NaNa, about 1 km taxi prices ranged from 600B down to 300, he tried 6 different taxis, ended up having to take the B300 because it was the cheapest.  

Asking the taxis parked along any roads or side sois along sukhumvit is usually just asking for punishment for your pocket book ????

Edit: 4 years ago - hell even 8 years ago - there were ride-hailing apps to combat the "taxi meter not work"-bull<deleted>.

Changes in the water column heights seem to be well within regular levels, if we are to trust the systems placed after 2004 events.

Right now, we are seeing moderate earthquakes from 3-5s in the area. We are watching it close because this island can cause a very disastrous earthquake and tsunami.

 

The Andaman–Nicobar region is extremely prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes because of its geological location. The region located in the Himalayan collision zone is in the highest seismic-hazard zone (category V).

 

On 26 December 2004, at 07:58:53 local time (UTC+7), a major earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1–9.3 magnitude struck with an epicentre off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. On the other hand, Tthe 1941 Andaman Islands earthquake struck the Andaman Islands on June 26 with a magnitude of 7.7 to 8.1.

 

The Nicobar Islands lie in the Indian Ocean about 800 miles (1,300 km) east of Sri Lanka and have an area of 711 square miles (1,841 square km). The Nicobars, along with the Andaman Islands to the north, constitute the boundary between the southeastern Bay of Bengal (west) and the Andaman Sea (east). The Nicobar group includes the islands of Car Nicobar (north), Camorta (Kamorta) and Nancowry (central group), and Great Nicobar (south). 

 

Changes in the water column heights seem to be well within regular levels, if we are to trust the systems placed after 2004 events.

Riveting to see how this translates to real life...

Why would they mean 420 ?

No proof of any real expenditure - no invoices/receipts from the care, nothing to substantiate any urgent need for re-patriation - seems the couple are fighting over the maximums written in the policies - so     

I'm sure they meant 420

My guess is that they now have a database on their computers (which are probably still running Windows 95), and are actually now able to keep track of the offenders.

That sounds cute ????

I provided a logical explanation for my comment after you challenged me. I did so in good faith. You are just trolling at this point. Bed time.

I think I lost your in good faith provided explanation - care to repeat, as I can't for the life of me dig one out of the discourse

The bar is legally permitted to sell a drink until 01:59 AM. The customer is allowed to drink it. Your implication that the fact that the altercation occurred 30 minutes later means something is a nothing burger.

Funny, I didn't imply anything - just questioned the allegation. So were you there physically, or are you just blowing steam up someones ass?

Likely served before 2am. He is allowed to drink it after that time. He was probably so <deleted> he didn't drink it and was then required to pay for it.

Based on what? were you there?

There is no yellow fever in Asia.

There is practically no malaria in Thailand,  at least for tourists and in Phuket.

There are less than 5 cases of Zika per year in Thailand.

Nobody recommends dengue vaccination for tourists.

(For residents,  the new vaccine from Takeda might be something to look into)

Anyway,  tourists usually pick up dengue in Samui, not in Phuket.

Malaria, Zika, Yellow Fever and Dengue all are met here in Thailand - doesn't discriminate if you're a tourist or not.
I'd rather Check the health advisories from CDC-like types, than a random "Lorry" at a forum saying nope x)

wow ..... not a word of praise for the Pattaya police for doing their job and taking what obviously is a threat off the streets .... yes I admit they make the Keystone cops look like pro's most of the time but  occasionally they do step up to the mark . Nicely done Pattaya RTP.... now lets make sure this non quality  tourist gets processed and sent home with a never to come back mark against him......

No praise for actually doing their job? Well I'll just say good on them - and now get on the trail of the flashy piece of weaponry, whilst on the scent - not the everyday piece flashed on traffic there is it.

The battle is, however, not over yet, as opponents of the decriminalisation of cannabis have turned to the Administrative Court, asking it to invalidate the Public Health Ministry’s edict removing cannabis from the Category 5 drugs list.

Decriminalisation of cannabis is the flagship policy of the Bhumjaithai Party, which has won widespread support from small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, herbal medicine advocacy groups and the general public, who see cannabis as a business opportunity and an alternative herbal medicine to treat some illnesses. About one million people have applied to cultivate cannabis.

Do they have tourist hotels in Utah without railings on the balcony?

Do you think they would be able to trade like that?

 

From google:

 

Maybe he sat/leaned on the railing and it gave away - not a qualifier for the Pattaya Flying parade - this looks like poor maintenance to me
