Nok Airlines stocks nosedive as SET delisting threat soars

I quite like Nok,never had any problems with them. -
Firesticks are great devices, they are all I use in U.K. and Thailand and I also use them in hotels when travelling in Europe. You should get someone who already has one to help you set it up as they can be quite complicated for an absolute beginner.

Phuket – now a lot more than bars, beaches and temples
Scottie12 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
The Tourism Department is a joke,there are two beaches, Layan and Bangtao which had beach bars until recently. These were highly popular with tourists and provided employment for many locals. Virtually overnight they were bulldozed down and now tourists cannot get a drink or a snack on these beaches hence, they are virtually desolate now. The rationale given is that the beach bars were unauthorised so why couldn't they come to some arrangement with the vendors, all sorts of theories e.g. they weren't paying the Mafia enough, the hotels ganged up against them etc. Whatever the reason tourists and locals loved them, they employed many people and they are sorely missed. -
