I looked at Iglu a little more than a year ago when they were still offering what you seem to be looking for. Their current model doesn't look very different from the previous one but the fact that they felt the need to not be as straightforward about it could mean that they got a warning or some difficulties with their previous approach. Assuming it's not just a strategy change, this problem could also concern "shelter" that others mentioned in this thread.

I never drank tap water in Thailand because I read that I was supposed to avoid it. I was comforted in my choice the first time I opened the flushing tank of my toilet and saw the brown deposit on all the immersed parts. I cleaned it and it came back after a few months...

I cook my pasta in tap water but I definitely wouldn't drink it.

It's funny to see this now because since a few days ago a new street food stall has started operating 100 meters from Thonglor's police station. They grill fish and a ton of smoke comes from it.

I'm not very good at reading this kind of document but it looks like Nok Air lost 2 billion baht in 2017 and 4 billion in 2018, plus if I remember correctly they should have a few of the infamous 737 Max 8. Who the hell is investing in that ?

What kind of person carries 700k and forget about it ? Someone that probably has much more on hands or carries this amount regularly.

You won't want to touch the cash if you expect some big shot or a shady guy to come look for it.

No later than yesterday my gf (thai) had the cashier at a coffee shop (tong hua in BTS thonglor) try to pull a "you gave 500, right ?" on her. They know what they're doing, my gf said that the cashier tried to engage in small talk and was unusually talkative.

Why do they do that ? because if they successfully pull that off even one time a day they more than double their salary. When they get caught they just say "oh sorry, mistake" and wait for the next one. 10k is too obvious though.

Those article are funny enough for me to laugh, no gas needed. I can't walk down a touristy walking street without being proposed many type of illegal drugs and those cops always act like they didn't even know this type of things could take place in Thailand.

They set the price people can pay, nothing to do with the actual cost.

I went there and was disappointed:

- You can't enter with a drink but they sell 200baht water up there

- You're dropped in a literal maze of luxury shops when you try to exit

- Their green-screened photo-shoot is crap and super expensive.

PS: I visited the Grand Canyon's Skywalk, the ticket is packaged with other stuff and more expensive but it's a much better tourist attraction.

CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice with 74g, Moma’s Bubble Tea Bar with 68g and Formosa with 65g

That's a crazy amount of sugar to have in a single serving, especially since bubble tea can be downed very quickly.

BUT this is not very far from what you get in your average 500ml soda bottle.

to retroactively recall the royal decorations, starting from April 3, 2018.

I don't understand the meaning of this part. He cannot possibly have stacked up 8 new decorations in about a year so what does 'retroactively' mean here ? Did those decorations grant him some privileges and they will take back anything he got after/before April 3 ?

Not finding paper traces doesn't mean no money was exchanged, I heard that's actually quite standard around here.

some 76 per cent of Thai consumers believe they will be wearing augmented reality (AR) glasses instead of using mobile phones by 2025.

...

He added that 88 per cent of the respondents believe they will be making 3D holographic calls on a weekly basis, while 13 per cent believe hologram video calls will replace normal video calls.

It just shows that the respondents have no clue what they're talking about. I also suspect the questions were extremely oriented because no reasonable crowd would come up with the such responses to "What will phones look like in 2025 ?"

Three economic bad news stories today. First it was car sales, then it was rice and now it is rubber.

And in another news the government says it has money to inject in the economy to "stimulate growth". I can't wait for everything to fall down, my condo's lease is ending soon.

I don't eat it, I don't like the texture. Just like the bland tofu pieces they put in some noodle soups.

Particulate matter must have been too concentrated in this area and spontaneously crystallized into a heavy piece of concrete mid-air

So Thailand is already more Chinese than HK ?
