  1. I was there last week, and mask wearing on the BTS is just recommended. Plenty of passengers, including myself, were maskless.
  2. But this thread is about public celebrations in Bangkok.
  3. Thanks for the replies. The guy in question managed to leave (via the airport) but I've advised him there may be (will be?) problems when he comes back in a year or two and wants to work again.
  4. Did anyone ever really think it was more than a marketing slogan?
  5. Have there been any changes to the ramifications of leaving Thailand without cancelling an Extension of Stay based on work and the work permit? As I understood it previously, if you managed to make it out of the country, the only downside would be applying for another work-based extension and work permit in the future. Is this still the case? How difficult would it be to come back a year or so later and start work again?
  6. Nonsense. Soi 22 is on the other side of Sukhumvit road and is a good 15 minute walk from soi Cowboy. I should know, I used to live there.
  7. Soi 22 is in the "Soi Cowboy area"?? Nothing like getting a sleazy word in the headline!
  8. What with its excessive sweetness and sodium, it's no wonder Thai people are so unhealthy!
  9. Under 18 is "underage" pretty much everywhere in the world when it comes to prostitution.
  10. Well said. It's time to end the military government.
  11. The westernised version in the photo looks great. The more authentic version contains those horrible, hard 'pea-shaped' things and is invariably over-spiced. Due to its spice (even in the western version) it should be called a curry not a stew.
  12. Looking good. A sign that things are slowly getting back to normal. ????
  13. All rather tedious at the moment. Lewis needs a competitive car!
  14. It is certainly ironic that he used to encourage the "lock her up" chants at his rallies in 2016. Can't wait to see his mugshot.
  15. Anyway, back on topic, it will be good to see Gary and the gang back in the MOTD studio this weekend.
  16. Surely it's not the case that if you're taking meds for blood pressure and cholesterol (and have been for years), that you won't be covered for a heart attack or stroke?
  17. If you live permanently in Thailand, is the first 25% of your Defined Benefits/Final Salary pension still tax free?
  18. I'm inclined to agree. The Caitlin Jenner documentary on Netflix is well worth watching. https://www.netflix.com/th-en/title/81026436
  19. I guess it would depend on whether the language being used in 2020s Germany was not dissimilar to the language used in 1930s Germany.
  20. Yawn. How many times is Lineker going to be misquoted? I guess it's understandable if people only get their news from The Sun and the Daily Mail.
  21. The viewing figures went up compared to the week before (but were still lower than the average MOTD audience) as many just tuned in to see how it would be done. I doubt there would be as many next week, if it had continued in that format, but fortunately we'll never know!
  22. As has repeatedly been pointed out, he didn't make that comparison.
  23. Too late for that now. He didn't have to resign and can continue to 'tweet' his thoughts. It's called freedom of speech.
