More likely recriminalised due to the uptake in use by Thai youngsters, so they have a valid point.

Thailand was never part of the British Empire and in fact was used as a buffer between the British Malaya and French Indochina (Vietnam). Thailand nominally adopted the metric system in 1923 and the Americans used Thailand for R&R during the Vietnam war, so any historical reference to a pint would likely be to the smaller U.S. pint. Not sure if there are any Gary Lineker pubs in Bangkok, Pattaya, Krabi or Chiang Mai but maybe they’d have what you seek?

Off his anti-psychotic drugs perhaps? Indulged in too much of the legalised cannabis? Eating the wrong sort of mushrooms?

Headline is a bit misleading, in that for 3 months during low season, Russian tourists will be able to enter Thailand visa free for a period of 60 days. They are currently permitted to enter visa free for a period of 90 days.

Why doesn’t he apply for a visa in Norway? If he gets one surely he will get into Thailand? If he doesn’t get one he can see if the ladies in Cambodia, Vietnam or the Philippines are more submissive!

I was at that temple when a Chinese lady tried to feed a monkey a bag of crisps. The monkey snatched at the bag and it fell to the ground. When the lady tried to pick up the bag the monkey tried to attack her. Fortunately I was able to make a grab at the monkey’s tail, which distracted it and likely saved her from getting bitten or scratched.

As does Adobe Acrobat and likely other PDF apps.

Speaking for yourself?

Small foreigner?

I worked offshore Songkhla in the Gulf of Thailand. During one crane basket transfer from the boat to the rig, I looked down as we lifted up and the boat moved away from under us. There was a large whale shark there but more ominously it was accompanied by two large oceanic white tips!

Good luck with that!

Depends on your lifestyle within Thailand. Live a simple life like the locals, likely have an extended life. My wife’s grandmother was over 100 when she died. Drinking daily, smoking, chasing young ladies, eating unhealthily? I think you know the answer to that.

Big bikes used to be the vehicle of choice for ex-pats mainly and often on the routes South from Hua Hin to oil related destinations, where they worked or transited offshore to the Gulf of Thailand. After being out of Thailand for majority of the Covid period, I see on returning that a lot of locals have big bikes now and indeed some very shapely young leather clad ladies amongst them! I suspect that road users in general are not used to the speed and lower visibility of these bikes, in common with many other countries. My wife’s male cousin owned a big bike several years ago, in the Ubon Ratchathani area. Unfortunately he too fell victim in a road accident, leaving a young wife and two young kids without a husband and father.

Quite right. No need to play the left WOKE agenda and give it legitimacy. There are only 2 sexes, with the exception perhaps of obscure, medical, rarities, who don’t appear to be parading around dressed in all the colours of the rainbow!

Want to witness Equatorial Guinean police dispensing some summary justice on a thief at a local market! I can still hear the thuds of their batons 15 years later!

Why would there be, on an absconding, class A drug possessor? Lucky he didn’t travel via Singapore and get caught in possession there!

A relief that his partner didn’t end up in the human food chain! Less traceability than a landfill!

Flights from Almaty to both Bangkok and Phuket. Takes about six hours. Flew to both with Air Astana on many occasions over the last 6 years. A daily flight to both about 5 days per week. Always busy. Just back in Almaty now waiting for an onward internal flight.

Is that the ‘in vogue’ new name for lady boys? Anyone seeking sexual favours for a price on Beach Road, get exactly what they deserve!

Did they take the squirrels into consideration before embarking on this project?

The Russian escapees will be running a taxi and tour service for Russian tourists.

When I was last in central Bangkok 3 weeks ago, BTS were still requesting that you wear a mask on their trains and in their stations.

Unfortunately I’ve seen too many tourists with no motorcycle experience, hiring and riding motorcycles. The locals have been on motorcycles, likely since they were 10 or 11 years old but there are so many serious accidents and fatalities among them too, so experience is no guarantee of safety. My wife has lost at least two male cousins through motor cycle accidents and another left a paraplegic, who eventually committed suicide due to the condition. Lately the trend seems to be towards big motor cycles with the locals rather than the usual 110 and 125cc models so that’s not going to end well either.
