Great news. I've lived in Thailand since 2005, but have always made sure I voted in national and local elections. Since I hit the 15-year cut off it's annoying to be unable to, so if it changes in time for me to help Keir Starmer come to power and to get rid of this abysmal government, I'll be delighted.

Not the same, unless the Thai government officially released the photos? The point of this thread is that it was an official government briefing that featured the video of the Thai worker's decapitation. There are thousands of other horrible videos and photos on social media, but this relates to an 'official' release.

Possibly, but with the consent of the victim's family. It seems obvious that they did not consult the family of the Thai victim, hence the Thai government's protest.

I do wonder if the Israelis would have shown the 'hoe beheading' video to the media, if it had been an Israeli victim rather than a Thai?

You're not allowed to work on a Retirement extension. If nobody knows you're working online, there shouldn't be an issue. Just keep quiet about it!

Not the cheapest, but great for all UK channels, plus channels from South Africa (SuperSports) for 3pm kick-offs. http://www.pulse-tv.net

No different to most, if not all, religions. How many people who celebrate Christmas are really Christian?

Maybe she's great looking and a lovely person, and they love each other?

"Dry" days are just the Buddhist holidays, already published. Your 'friend' can relax - nothing over New Year is dry.

You can drink, you just can't buy or sell alcohol. Stock up in advance.

1. UK passport holders cannot get a 15-day visa on arrival. 2. UK passport holders can get a 30 days visa exempt stamp at the airport, which can easily be extended by another 30 days at an Immigration office. 3. 45 days visa exempt was a Covid benefit and has been stopped.

"Normal" girls back in England aren't usually interested in settling down with guys in their 50s-60s (unless they're a superstar or Rupert Murdoch). Even UK prostitutes are more likely to setttle down with a younger guy as their boyfriend/pimp. Hence the attraction for some of Thai bargirls! It doesn't seem weird at all to me.

I became a father for the first time at age 55, so am hoping to make it until he's at least 30 🤞

Congratulations to your wife - it only seems like yesterday that we were discussing her initial visa/language test. Very happy for both of you. (Sorry, can't help with your question).

The original post was from May 2021, so the student has probably moved on!

An extremely well made and enjoyable documentary. Both Becks and Posh come out of it very well. Glenn Hoddle and the tabloid press don't!

He has a point though. Thailand seems to think having any type of degree is more valid than a proper TEFL/TESOL qualification! TEFL jobs in the UK and Europe are often as badly paid as they are in Thailand, but most insist on a CELTA or Trinity TESOL qualification as a minimum.

It was broken a few weeks ago, then fixed (I managed to make an appointment for early Nov) but appears to be broken again!

Thanks Sheryl.

My 8-year-old son has always suffered from excessively sweaty hands and feet, which has started to impact his learning (sometimes he can't keep hold of a pen) and playing (not easy to hold a handheld game device or phone with very sweaty hands). Is this an allergy or a genetic issue? His mother does have the same problem, but nowhere as bad as him and only usually when she's stressed. Can anyone recommend a clinic or doctor (preferably in the Pattaya/Rayong area) who could do something about this - or is it something that can be treated by OTC medicines? Thanks

No. Why would you think that?

Define "trouble"? I once barfined the beautiful ex-girlfriend of a well-known bar owner, who then turned up at my hotel, caused a scene by banging on the door and shouting at 5am and refusing to leave until she came out. Continued for a few weeks before she went back to him, and all was amicably resolved. So, not really trouble.

Different anthem.

Not really surprising as it's a government office! Do people still freeze on the BTS when it plays?
