Burma Bill

Galangal is nice and I often used it as an alternative to ginger. It Helps Fight Inflammation. ... Strengthens Immune System. ... It increases Sperm Count and Motility. ... Protects Against Cancer. ... Galangal is a Natural Antimicrobial. ... Galangal is Good For Skin. ... Galangal Supports Digestive Health. ... It's Linked to Brain Health. (Google)

IMO, not really a chilling warning. Perhaps if he had said "hand over the cash or I'll cut your b.....s off" to the male employee, maybe! Whatever a traumatic experience.

Too late Mall authorities - several photos already published in the media for the World to see!!

The Royal Cambodian Government is active these days in promoting the Riel instead of the US Dollar and most transactions are dual priced, for example in supermarkets and other major stores where the checkout screens display both currencies. High denomination Riel notes are now routinely dispensed at ATMs whereas US Dollar notes below 100 are no longer available. If you want 5,10,20 and 50$ bills you must go to a bank or money exchange counter. I have never seen any one take Thai Baht for transactions - maybe in the casinos or tourist outlets. The current exchange rate is 4,125 Riels for 1 US$. (use 4,000 for ease). So, 100,000 riels approx 25$, 200,000 riels approx 50$, 400,000 riels approx 100$ and so on. For reference: There are 10 denominations of riel: 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000. The 50, 50,000 and 100,000 notes are rare.Mar 14, 2018 (Google) 50 riel notes are rare (1.25 US cents), but 50,000 and 100,000 riel notes are now readily available. I use them for shopping with an occasional 100$ bill.

What a great idea! Build a new erotic centre near U-Tapau and shut down Pattaya!

It is in Chiang Rai Province, not that far from Mae Sai and the Burmese border.

A hen pecked husband by any chance??

With respect, Phaya Kouprey viewpoint (where accident occured) is high on a mountain overlooking forests and rivers. The road descends the MOUNTAIN from the Chong Sa-nagm border crossing with Cambodia (where the runners finished). If you have lived in the hills and mountains of rural Thailand you will be very familiar with this type of curving road - like I was! Photo from Thai Newsroom:

Probably - from the post: The Kiwi’s cryptocurrency business tanked during Covid. Did he scam someone??

Yes indeed and both very tragic. I posted what was reported in "The Nation" which stated "falling".

He is Russian. ref. (The Nation) A Russian tourist is in hospital after falling from the roof of a pagoda in Phuket’s Muang district on Friday evening, officials said. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40029174?fbclid=IwAR2cESvUdWhr638SxAm_ky3Zaj6uDuxS8KI7KNgE7IypQ6huNlorAfHvaSQ

I bet this caused a bit of a stink amongst the locals!!

Yes indeed. Diet control would have helped reduce the lady's high cholesterol. Very important for me being a Type 2 insulin dependent diabetic.

Well I never!

Nestle involvement - for reference : The global coffee alliance since 2018 The purchase included Starbucks®, Seattle's Best Coffee®, Starbucks Reserve®, Teavana™, Starbucks VIA® and Torrefazione Italia® and the distribution deal cost Nestlé $7.15 billion for the exclusive right to market, sell and distribute Starbucks products. (Google) So it is possible your rip off priced cup of "Hi So" coffee could be simply Nescafe?? When I lived in Thailand, I used Amazon coffee shops.

Thanks - exactly what I thought.

How convenient - saving the insurance documents???

Oh really: On the night of July 31, 2022, for instance, a five-tonne, 10-metre-long concrete beam fell off the U-turn bridge and plunged onto a car, also damaging a pickup truck, killing two people and injuring five others. The bridge is outside Vibharam Hospital in Samut Sakhon's Muang district. (Google)

Especially if dressed half naked in ladies lingerie!!

To prevent actions by the pro - military, pro - establishment and anti-democratic yellow shirts against Pita??

Same for me - thanks for the memory!

Not if you are a Buddhist.

As previously stated - "yes they do". For example a Barracuda:- which I experienced whilst fishing off Mombasa (Kenya) - not me in photo!

From link to OP: a 34-year-old construction worker who took care of the construction, 20 workers were building a restaurant when the roof of the building suddenly crumbled. IMO the 34 year old did not take any care!!

Yes indeed. On one ocassion during my time in Thailand, I had the opportunity of visiting Sungai Kolok on the Malaysian border, travelling by train all the way from Chiang Mai. I changed onto a day/night train in Bangkok right through to SK (23 hours!). SK is a typical bustling Thai border town and I made a one day visit to Kota Bharu in Malaysia. There were no extremist problems when I visited in the late 90's. I stayed in a rural area outside the main city of SK (photo) I returned to Chiang Mai by air from Narathiwat via Bangkok DMK, the International Airport in those days.
