Burma Bill

Thanks, my thought as well. Hardly a mafia in the true sense, just a few Burmese migrants and not gangsters like these: Imagine this happening in Pattaya -oh what fun shooting up all the go-go prossie bars!

Perhaps they were dancing to "Jail House Rock" (Elvis Presley)

As a UK citizen, I totally agree. I have no interest in the garbage about Trump and Harris.

For reference: Until researchers actually took a closer look at these crocodile newts – and were surprised to discover that the seemingly widespread Spiny crocodile newt actually hid a whole series of similar-looking, yet clearly different species. The number of crocodile newts has virtually exploded in the last twenty years. By the end of 2022, the original Tylototriton asperrimus had already become 19 different species, clearly distinct not only genetically, but also in many morphological and biological details. A couple of examples: Ziegler's Crocodile Newt (North Vietnam) Kweichow Crocodile Newt (China)

Yes indeed and I totally agree. Only the other day I stated "Thailand the hub of greed" in the article about "posh" hotels increasing their prices. With these scum people traffickers and the likes of the iCON Group, it is about money, money, money and greed! I now feel vindicated in my greed comment.

Once - for good! After 20 years in retirement in Thailand I moved across the border to Siem Reap in Cambodia where I have lived happily for almost 5 years (February next year will be 5 years). Main reason - the total bureaucracy and scam financial requirements regarding a Thai retirement visa. In fact, yesterday I collected my UK passport with another retirement (ER) visa from the Cambodian Immigration agent - oh so simple! Valid passport, recent pp photo, 300US$ and proof of entry on FPCS (Foreign Persons in Cambodia System). My landlord accompanied me to show this as the onus is on him. 10 working days later, passport returned. Visa for one year includes multiple re-entries.

More space for the beggars and homeless??

From the seized assets of iCON Group??

I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 187 seconds  

For reference: From October 29 2024 Air Asia will be operating a new direct flight 3 times per week between Phuket and Siem Reap (SAI) in Cambodia. Phuket dep. 14.30 (FD612) arr. Siem Reap 16.05 Siem Reap dep. 16.50 (FD613) arr. Phuket 18.35 With apologies, at this moment I do not know which 3 days.

thailand - the hub of GREED!

The ONLY thing I purchase online are my Air Asia flight tickets, otherwise NOTHING as I go out to the shops and supermarkets for all other items - I can see what I am buying! My choice.

Donate them to Thai Customs to train as sniffer dogs for Cannabis at airports.

My word, that is a long distance by ambulance for treatment - around 450kms depending on what route. Khon Kaen has several good hospitals so there must be a reason.

Well I never - THAI Airways to fly on "fish and chip", MacDonald and Burger King waste?

All tarred with the same brush?

I wonder how many ex-pat alkafrolics will be scurrying around to stock up for one day before they get the shakes!

A case of shoddy construction! (shoddy = an inferior quality yarn or fabric made from the shredded fibre of waste woollen cloth or clippings.)

Very interesting - I wonder what was discussed. Maybe Thai Customs will introduce more stringent baggage checks? All it takes is a sniffer dog at check - in desks for flights to "no cannabis" destinations.

All a matter of personal choice. For me at 80 years of age, I prefer sitting in a comfy armchair in one of the plush bars/restaurants in Siem Reap's Pub Street enjoying a glass of chilled draught Angkor Beer, especially during hot and humid weather. Cannabis is of no interest to me - I hate the smell!

Oh what a sad life! Nothing better to do than keep driving around until a suitable Thai "prossie" is found outside a massage parlour that gives a happy ending. IMO disgraceful!. No further comment from me.
