Better to postpone that winter stay trip for the moment. This year there is a global amo in the weather due to El Nino, that obivously will settle by next year.

The law should force all developpers who sell either on freehold or lease hold to assist and get the blue or yellow book formalities done and handed over to the buyer. To take one's money, those house developpers are all nice and accomodating. But once you have paid up, they just try to see how they can get more money out.

Life must be frustrating for those always wanting to be right and have the last word. It can feel good for the ego at some point to bat-n-ball and get the wicket. But for such people, life is lonely as nobody wants some smart a** around always wanting to lead the talk. Many of our fellow foreigners in Thailand should practice the golden mantra to let it go, loosen up. We all enjoy the daily rant and to give out on issues that irritate. That may not be caomparable as when interacting with acquaintances or with another individuasl directly in life and wanting to take over. It's just all about control, being a bully, lack of self confidence and troubled past, maybe. Cheer up, chill up and don't think nice people are stupid and don't see it comming.

Sad to see many retirees, expats in Thailand who do not seem to care of their health. Excess drinking, smoking, somtimes drugs or overeating daily outside, as food is cheap but very oily or with sugar based additives. Such a lifestyle is a one way ticket to excess cholesterol, leading to digestive and heart issues and a vip entry to the grave. Enjoy life by all means, but try to ban tobacco and booze or at worse drastically reduce consomption. Not to mention the biggest enemy that is overeating heavy food in restaurants. The rest is up to you if you want to live long enjoy Asia or not....

Pick an European city, It will avoid all the waste of time with the excessive US Immigration red tape and paranoïa.

EV's are obviously the future. Our 5 year old kids future. Not ours.

Don't claim to save the world. No one can. Save your world, by being civil and nice. Not sayin here to be nice to nice and friendly people, because that is obviously easy and comes automatically. Be civil, keep cool or just ignore and walk away, from the jerks and cheats who are the toxic that poison your world and daily existence. Life will be far better when one is nice to others. Nice and civil does not mean stupid or guilable. It means just to be polite. Very basic thought here, but it seems to be long lost by many.

Another not so happy end. As always said, in Thailand never buy...rent if you have to....

Salt and sugar that is excessively consumed globally causes far more deaths then tobacco or road accidents put together. From sodas to munchy snacks or junk food, those who do not control their consumption o are digging their own grave. Pity.

Soon Russian soapy fishbowls all over the Nation ? ????

The video obviously must be on Tik Tok and that will scare the shXXt out of our friendly Chinese sex tourists, after the Siam Paragon tragedy.

The security staff at public venues could be beefed up with sufficient staff and metal dector gates to avoid queues. Proper checks should be make in fast but professionnal manner on all (and not only on some targetted stereotypes). Human amok does not have a colour or a specific type.

It is a disgrace for any civilised country not to immediatly charter air support, do the diplomatic job in the wings if necessary , in order to immediately repatriate on a complementary basis, their residents from such shattered countries. However on considering many rich european countries that did not bulge to help their own stuck in Israël, what can one expect in poorer nations ? It seems a global trend where policy makers and politicians are totally unconcerned and indifferent towards the needs of their people.

SeaLife at Ocean World inside Siam P,.....The rooftop of Bayoke Tower....Boat ride on Chao Praya River.....Dream World.....Mme Tussaud....and the final (and costly) treat at the Lasser Game that should be in some Sukhumvit Hotel if I am not wrong.

Pity to behave so badly, because they hurt the image of all farangs in Thailand. No respect for the locals. No wonder Thailand wants such types out of the country.

Always remember that nation wide immigration rules in Thailand change by office, by province and depending on the mood of the officer behind the counter. With that in consideration, you will never get overwhelmed when the rules change each day or by the hour.

You obviously have not travelled around the world.

The new generation of synthesized drugs are going to destroy Thailand and already are...just like in the rest of the world.

No transfer to an inactive post ? Should have joined the cops instead...

If such a requirement exists, it could be void if the patient is a emergency situation and unconscious. Not to mention the racket in all private hospitals in Bangkok and all over the world I may say, where money comes far before any interests of the patient.

The point is not whether to give or not give out the cash with state funds. The point is how and who is to finance it ?

It's more the greed of the brand outlets or store owners, who are displaying absurd and overrated prices in the malls, that will deter foreigners to spend and cause big loss for the economy.

Thank god it was not one of those trendy EV cars, The explosion would have been far more devastating as usually with electric vehicles. A nightmare for firemen all over the world who pray to be off-duty when it happens. And it does.

Use Google Translate on your phone app....very helpful on a daily basis during interactions with the locals.
