Wasn't there a similar incident on an internal Thai flight recently? 

Assuming this guy isn't another teacher.. only say that because of a google search of name.

Must be a very unfortunate coincidence. 

The money will come from selling off the canal or rail freight link project to foreign investors. 

Huge mistake, that could make Thailand a rich country 

Questions about this. Did he know they were under 18 if he picked them up in a bar ? And what is the legal age for sex in Thailand ? 

Either way, he was running, so it doesn't look great does it.

How about fixing his own country first. Kanchanaburi is terrible for burning 

Thread dig. 

Just giving thoughts on a new 330e. Great car but EV range is sadly less than I thought, at around 35km, almost half what BMW claim. Obviously I'm running Aircon but still..

Horrific. As someone with a young daughter at an international school in Bangkok it does send shivers. And there was that 'Teacher Luke' influencer a few months ago, giving STDs to a 16yr old student. What happened to him, it went quiet. 

But one has to be careful with casting general suspicions on good people who run and raise money for childrens charities, we've had situations in Thailand where innocent people have been accused of stuff.

To hide their dealings with China during pandemic

After this is over and Prayut is safely retired with a Putin style clause to protect him, we might find China owns quite alot of Thai infrastructure

Wd like to take my daughter to beach but control freak in laws arranged something without my knowledge and telling me I need to quarantine.

What are current rules for travelling to Petchaburi from Rama 2 area?

Sorry if in the wrong section, I am seething 

Hi quick question, I'm visiting Koh Phangan on business and planning to drive from Bangkok to Chumphon by road - are there any restrictions I shd be aware of apart from RT PCR test and is the ferry running normally ? Many thanks 

Just wondering if it's available here free cheers

Thailand chose the two least efficacy vaccines. Let's be generous and say Thai vaccinations are 70% effective. 

And 70% of population receives their jabs by November (not looking likely)

That wd mean only 56% are effectively protected for the next tourist season. 

Was very impressed by the new Mazda BT50.  Theres a nice spec version around 900,000. The interior is as nice as a decent car. 

Oddly the most expensive spec with brown interior looked a bit too much, better to get the lower spec.

When is the best month to plant? August September? 

If you have a way of covering plants outside during rainy months, wd think to start off indoors around July. That shd give plants a headstart and chance to set fruit come the cooler months from late October.

Brought seeds over from UK, all organic. 

I forgot I did lose a bunch of seedlings due to shock. Planted some too close together, transplanting them too early. 

In future will use the grow pot trays. Never use fertilizer with seed soil, can damage new roots. Wait til repotting. 

Growing a few varieties atm as an experiment for now, mainly heirlooms. Chose possibly the worst time to sow, back in January. Nearly all seeds germinated (held half back for September) and 95% are healthy plants varying in size and height, 32 in total in largest black plastic pots. Soil is an experimental mix. 

Mainly costoluto fiorentino, marmande, Yellow Pear and White Beauty, all organic seed. Hardened all plants early in direct morning sun. 3 months on now mainly in shade with approx  3 hrs direct sun per day (for april and may). I've used a triangulated bamboo frame with a climbing string, 5 foot in height but this isn't tall enough for some.

Most are flowering w some very small fruit appearing but it's too hot. Anything above 90 and the plants will just stop. I'm using the toothbrush vibration method for pollinating.  Watering is now once every 3-4 days or so. It's best to let the soil almost dry out and then water vigorously

Reading a lot about turmeric, with  new studies suggesting huge health benefits if we include it in our diets, inc  cancer, pain relief and many other ailments.

The tricky bit is that turmeric (and it's magic ingredient curcumin ) is hard to absorb into the blood stream. Studies show it's best to add it to food and it seems that adding 5% black pepper can make it more potent.

A daily smoothy using coconut milk as a 'carrier' may be a good way to go.

ive heard first hand about prayuts family making sure they get the best places in universities for their kids, esp doctors
