I wonder why I never get invited to these parties.

Oh ye of little faith. That is not true. The Mayor or his Deputy, or maybe both, will be there at first light in the morning promising to have if repaired by Nov. 19th. 2032.

"The problem with child deaths in school vans... is that (it) keeps repeating itself due to the negligence of the service provider," said Adisak Plitponkarnpim, director of the Thailand National Institute of Child and Family Development.

I wondered how long it would take for someone tl throw cold water on this lovely story. Not long at all. What a sad life some people here must lead.

Go for it Sherlock

Go to it Sherlock.

Where in the hell were plastic bags mentioned? A long bow to draw Sherlock. Lay down on your couch and have another Lao Khao.

Well guessed Sherlock.

Wonderful advice Sherlock.

Sorry Thailand. New Zealand has a longer place name: Near Porangahau in Hawke's Bay is an unassuming hill known as "Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu", which translates into English as "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater', ...

What's the fat bloke with the phone doing?

Who are you to tell me how I should feel - or not? Who are you to tell me if I can complain or not? And if I am happy to be known as an 'Imperialist', then so be it. What has it got to do with you? If the Thai Embassys charge huge fees for visas for farang, and not for Thais, then I'll complain if I want to. What's it got to do with you? If the RTP want to relieve me of baht during a traffic stop while Thais drive past, never breaking the law of course, and I do not wish to complain about whatคุณกินให้อร่อย is obviously a misunderstanding, then that is up to me. I just come here to read the news - not to to be told by someone, who's credentials about I have no idea, not to complain - or not complain - when I want to. What's it got to do with you. Who ever you are.

Z Why don't you drive here now?

"The Pratamnak area also saw thousands head for its beach too". Thousands? Really?

Does this reporter seriously suggest that the lack of goods on supermarket shelves is a greater issue than Covid? Wow.

In yesterday's edition of Pattaya Mail they claimed that if one toddled off down to Pattaya Gardens one could get a Pfizer booster between 11.00 and 15.00 hours - so, today I did just that. 10.30 am I am in line on Pattaya Garden's steps, on Beach Rd., excitedly awaiting the opening. Doors open and we are herded, ten persons at a time - unless you were some stray Thai, and there were a number of them, who wondered up to the doorman, who was conducting the Advance into El Alamein, and seemed to be able to be whisked through very quickly - to get into another line to, presumably register for the booster. This line crept, crawled, incredible slow - if I had of had my camp oven with me I would have had enough time to boil the billy and roast a leg of lamb - to the registration area. Here a very large uniformed woman with with a badge proclaiming "Special Affairs" (the mind boggles, but no thanks) on her sleeve. She looks at my double jab Pfizer vaccination certificate and proclaims "No have! Go to Bang Lamung." What a total waste of time. Apparently Pattaya Mail got ot wrong! Pfizer boosters are NOT administered at Pattaya Gardens. I really do not feel inclined to go out to Bang Lamung and make the same mistake and so I ask this august body of 'I know everything's' (just joking) if they know, with 100% certainty, where an elderly bloke could get the afore mentioned booster. I know that Bangkok Hospital Pattaya is not an option. Their 'Help Desk' (LOL) told me that they do not have Pfizer booster shots, (which is strange really because they gave me the original two shots, but, I suppose, on second thought, not so strange - I should have know, but one lives in hope) and will not have, until the Govermant gives them some. (To be fair, the girl did sound rather embarassed when she told me that wonderful news) So, dear readers, any positive thoughts on all of this? A large Leo for the first to give the correct answer. The only criteria to collecting this magnificent prize is that the answer you give today is still the same answer tomorrow. I await with bated breath.

What leads you to that conclusion Sherlock?

You'll probably never be compared to anybody........or thing.

What an idiotic post.
