If you on holiday do you not check what’s on the days you are there ? I am sure if some can’t go with out alcohol for 24 hours they have an addiction problem.

Makes a change from ‘raiding’ entertainment centres on Walking Street.

Wouldn’t they have deserved it after punching a fella in the head ?

Who have Thailand got to defend itself against, they would be overrun in 5 minutes if some one decided to attack them. Spend the money on education teaching the kids a trade or in higher education.

It might do in other countries, in the U.K. they can come out with a trade, what do they have when they leave the army in Thailand, discipline, that won’t get them a job.

Up until the last day of term in March they were still wearing masks, I assume when he goes back on Monday because of the government’s recommendations they will be wearing them again.

Even most of the staff in shops are not wearing masks now, most of the Thais are wearing masks now because of the air pollution. I don’t want my son to be wearing one all day but unfortunately I have to abide by the school rules, his mask didn’t stop him having fever not Covid last term.

I think it’s a great idea about school uniforms no bickering from the other kids on what type of designer shoes/trainers/clothing etc. Try buying school uniforms in the U.K. a you get much change out of £150 which includes shoes.

My mother suffered from depression, they say it’s hereditary, I often wake up in the morning feeling very depressed. What I do find is alcohol is one of the causes, I never drink more than 2 beers because anymore I know I will wake up feeling very depressed. My remedy is to focus on the day ahead and plan what I am going to do, I went through counselling but it didn’t help.

The benefits were thought be for farmers as an alternative crop but now most of the cannabis is imported i believe leaving farmers out of pocket.

On a ‘normal’ night go round all the entertainment venues in the tourist areas in Pattaya and count how many Thai citizens are drinking in them. I guess nearly zero, the Thai citizens will have stocked up days before and do what they normally do have a party at home.

I was in Vietnam, Da Nang and Hoi An last week, the only people wearing masks were the Chinese tourists.

I was being sarcastic.

I thought this only happened in Pattaya ?

In my sons school prior to the holidays everyone wore masks, it not stop infections, my son 7 years old was still of school a couple of times with fever, not Covid. He returns a week on Monday to school, apparently the kids are going to have to wear masks in class again. No idea why, he hasn’t worn one in months, we have had a couple vacations including flights where none of us wore masks and came back perfectly healthy.

A complete lack of education and modern worldly ways.

How are tourists going to affect the vote ?

I once bought Chang in the U.K. in Tesco when it was 5%, tasted nothing like the Chang here.

Just had a trip to Vietnam great choice of craft beers at less than half the price in Thailand where beer is fizzy water with some alcohol added.

Are any clamp downs ever enforced in Thailand ?

Lotteries should be banned, I remember when they introduced the National Lottery in the U.K. all the money was going to go to good causes. Turns out you had a 14 million to one chance to win the jackpot. in general it’s the lower wage earners who buy lottery tickets thinking they can get out of the rat race, where does the lottery money go in Thailand and does it fund anything ? in one country I worked the jackpot was a rollover several times and the government were concerned people were going with out food to buy lottery tickets !

Days of selling by walking about could be numbered, Online sales were introduced to reduce price gouging by retailers, who added 25% surcharges on the 80 baht ticket price. Lottery draws are held twice a month: on the 16th and at the end of the month. Lottery players can pick their favourite numbers on the Paotang app and never have to pay more than 80 baht per ticket. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40023791#

So why does it say 80 baht on the ticket ?

When I occasionally buy one I always ask my wife why 100 baht she says tip !
