  1. Yes, the unsweetened condensed (concentrated) French milk available here in Cambodia - great with strong Vietnamese coffee. I am a diabetic - no sugar.
  2. Once released, bring in Mister Thaksin - it is his "home territory"!
  3. Yet again, we read of a tragic incident where a young lass in fear, tragically loses her life in a fall and someone has posted a "Ha Ha" emoji. There are some really callous posters on AN!
  4. Oh really! Is Anutin not aware of the tragic accident (manslaughter) in Chiang Mai on the first day of the extended hours last Saturday, where one Laotian worker was killed and two others seriously injured around 4am by a speeding drunk Ghanaian tourist who had been drinking with friends in a pub? The three workers had been laying new underground cables during the night. RIP Laotian workers and condolences to your families. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40033873
  5. I wonder if they will develope their own Tianamen and Red Squares away from home?
  6. If this is so, then IMO he deserved what he got - money grabbing leech! This may be a "silver lining" as she could get treatment for/removal of her cyst at a Police Hospital?
  7. Yes, whatever one's sexuality, then so be it without any adverse comments or criticisms and just get on with life. Behind closed doors, maybe not here in Pattaya -
  8. Well I never! What fun a darts player could have among the tourists!
  9. Good riddance to the pro-military, pro-Monarchy "yellow shirts" who murdered innocent civilians during protests with the "red shirts".
  10. Yes indeed. Living near Khon Kaen pre-pandemic, I used Air Asia's "Fly Thru" service on many flights to Burma, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam (one ticket from KKC to destination, and return). Passport and Immigration Control was completed in the International Departure Lounge at KKC (only for Air Asia passengers at that time). I always had to change aircraft at Don Meuang where an Air Asia hostess accompanied onward travel passengers straight through to DMK International Departures - technically I was in transit as I had left Thailand when I departed from KKC. No further involvement with Thai Immigration - already completed back in Khon Kaen. At the end of a return "Fly Thru" flight back in KKC, my baggage was put on an "international arrivals" belt and was often the only piece! There was also an x-ray machine and a waiting Customs Officer, again often just for me. I am certain this arrangement was present at Udon Thani Airport for Air Asia's Fly Thru passengers. What the current situation is at Khon Kaen I have no idea but I can still "Fly Thru" with Air Asia from Siem Reap (SAI) to Khon Kaen (KKC) via DMK, with Thai Immigration having a seperate desk solely for "Fly Thru" passengers avoiding the main hall in DMK. An efficient time saving service. For reference, baggage in the hold also Fly's Thru, you collect from the belt on arrival at destination. At DMK baggage is transferred between flights by Air Asia ground staff.
  11. Thank you and exactly my thought being an elderly gent with mobility problems these days. Fortunatley, "yes". For reference: Lifts: Elevating accessibility to new heights, two lifts have been installed in the station, granting access to all levels, including the platform. These lifts enable individuals with mobility impairments, parents with strollers, and those carrying heavy luggage to navigate the station with ease. https://www.huahintoday.com/local-news/how-the-new-hua-hin-train-station-will-make-travel-easier-for-passengers-of-all-abilities/
  12. Free bathing - if you would care to drop in any time!
  13. I am not a whisky drinker, but have you tried the drinks section in any of the Rimping Supermarkets in Chiang Mai?
  14. Well I never: Ah sugar, ah honey honey You are my candy girl And you've got me wanting you Ah honey, ah sugar sugar You are my candy girl And you've got me wanting you (The Archies)
  15. In this tragic accident, it could have included both. The destination Na Thawi is in Songkhla Province and not too far from the Malaysian Border. From my experience travelling on these regular time-tabled blue/white Inter Provincial buses between Lanna, Isaan and Bangkok, the passengers were mainly Thai people either going to work, visiting relatives, attending a festival or shopping etc. rather than going on a tour as such. IMO such buses are not "tour" buses as is often quoted.
  16. I have travelled with NakonChaiAir several times between Phu Wiang (Khon Kaen Province) to Bangkok and the coaches were all fitted with seat belts. From experience, I found the Thais generally did not wear theirs but I always "belted up".
  17. With respect and from my experience when I lived in Isaan, not surprising when the cops and their families own the farmland!
  18. IMO, not only sugar cane farmers but sweet corn/maize farmers who burn the stalks and leaves after harvesting the cobs, also folk who set fire to forests in readiness for the harvesting of the small black button mushrooms!

  19. By snoop1130 21 hours ago in Isaan News With the greatest respect, may I enquire why this article was posted in Isaan News? Lampang is several hundred kilometres to the west/north west of Isaan in Lanna.
  20. Just leave him in peace until his pardon and release early next year - just 2 or 3 months time! Well done Sir!
