Good luck to the bloke, but one Aussie I met did give me words of advice, keep your head down

They got behind in the rent and are now obliged to live in a filthy shack with Thanyalak's mother.

dont think the mother will be too pleased to read that !

If you don't ask you don't get. No need to slam the guy.

You either choose to chip in or you go about your business as normal

 

the old adage comes to mind

There is an unwritten rule that thais have a right to make a living, which legitimises many selang vendors in ANY foot traffic location.  I am on the side that this is a good thing.

thats probably the only rule that thais follow, mind you it does involve money

Cute post. I assume it was sarcasm. Funny. Gehry is only one of the five most significant architects and designers of our generation. I have seen a number of his creations. They are astonishing. What has little Jen ever created that rivals these stunners? A popular comedy called friends? Big deal. It can be easily argued that her soon to be ex- husband Justin has made a far larger, and longer lasting contribution to popular culture than she ever has.

 

 

looks like repetition of same shapes to me

She said city hall needs to clean up its act and keep its tourist spots tidy

big problem their,  as  Pattaya is a tourist place.

how do you catch a parked taxi for meter violations

so, keeping records of driving, time off etc, that was supposed to stop all this carnage will show if the driver fell asleep, it may even show that the records are not acted upon.

Somethings don`t make sense. 150 beds in 12 rooms. That means 12 beds in each room. Guests must have been crammed in like sardines. Seems details have been misconstrued in translation. 

 

If she was renting out 150 beds per night, that`s 37500 baht per day, a very lucrative business. My guess is that this woman must have been involved with more than one hostel.

12 x 12 = 144

Video? The deceased had all the opportunity in the world to to move to his left and ride behind the guy. He was distracted by something. It pains me to say this but either the bike was not ABS equipped or it malfunctioned. ABS not withstanding the diseased was not riding with 100% of his faculties engaged in the activity of riding and yes he may have thought the guy would not be there when he got there but made no attempt to move to the left. Distracted.

seems like front brake first which caused bike to fall

 revoked passports in 2015 but he fled 2008 must be political

I look forward to the day when they recognise bullshit for what it is but I don't hold out much hope they will ever get there!

because they hope the bullshit will one day be theirs to use maybe

With all due respect to the Aussie this American guy must be one strong guy to throw a full grown man across the room and beat him in 20 seconds.. Strong fast and hard. He would scare the jesus out of me.

You'd be surprised at how many backpackers carry around brand new MacBooks, iPhones, iPads. Some of them look like a walking advert for Apple!

yes exactly, walking around _ not likely to leave in hostel while they are out

"It costs 147 sobs a year for the downtrodden Brits (49.50 for black and white) to watch TV, though a government website says you can get 50% off…….if you are blind."

 

Like the unfortunates due the 50% discount - I can't see the logic! (Would you like to start me off with the anomalies of the Council Tax regulations? No? Just as well, it would take up a lot of space, and I don't type very quickly!) 

 

 

 

 

council tax >>>>>>> 2 people in house = 100%

                                     1 person in house = 75%

If this does not go ahead, will the heads of the NCPO be found personally liable for all the money wasted? Including the construction of a 3.5km line in Khao Yai.

 

I doubt they care if it goes ahead. Lots of money already doled out for feasibility studies, EIA's etc etc

only if one of them has the name shin?????

National Anti-Corruption Commission President Pol General Watcharapol Prasarnrajkit said on Friday that the body’s secretary-general has not yet updated the corruption-fighting body about whether Deputy PM Prawit Wongsuwan has submitted his third try at an explanation about his possession of luxury watches.

However, the president said it is likely that they would wrap up their initial probe into the case and report to the NACC by the end of this month.

very strange : so if there is no explanation for the watches how can it be wrapped up
